Looks interesting, it has a resemblance to the Optimus F7 it seems.

Guys, how is the Snapdragon 400 and Adreno 305 in terms of performance? Cause I just watched the first review that I found of L9 II and they said that since the CPU is energy saving, the newer games might not work that well.
Is that true? I though that snapdragon in pair with adreno 305 could be pretty good, I know that its made with 28nm technology which should enhance battery life but is it also related to performance?
So after I heard this, I wonder if it will be more powerful than L9? Or its not true?
Thanks for answer.
Similar processor with the same amount of RAM? Why even bother making a new version if you're not going to upgrade the specs?
It has adreno305!? Awesome
Adreno is awesome, I've never had a bad experience with Adreno devices

I wonder when is L9 II section going to be created here on XDA?
So I happen to be the owner of this LG D605 (known as L9 II). I also had the L9 I in my hands for a while. I have to say I liked the back cover of L9 I more but L9 II is smaller so it fits in my hands better.
Regarding performance I remember scoring over 14k on AntuTu benchmark (GPU test scored a lot and this phone, it lost points only in multitasking benchmark when compared with quad-core smartphones). I can post some benchmark screenshots later if you want.
RAM could really be a little bit higher (with this stock bloated LG ROM, I guess it would be ok with CM or AOSP or whatever). Sometimes OOM-killer gets my launcher when I browse the net or play games so I have to wait some time before my UI appears again when I press Home button.
I also think the loudspeaker is on a little bit quiet side when compared to L9 I but this is not a big problem - it's still loud enough and the sound is clear. Only thing I don't like about the speaker is how it is positioned - when you hold the phone in horizontal orientation you will find yourself covering the speaker a lot which is annoying.
Lack of backlight on the touch-button panel doesn't bother me - I didn't have problems operating this phone in the dark. It is easy enough to hit these touch buttons anyway.
Overall good phone, other than this RAM size and loudspeaker location problem I don't have any problems with it. Dead Trigger 2 on High graphics setting is going smooth enough for me.

That's a heck of a first post. Welcome to XDA, and thanks for the info.
As promised - attached are benchmark screenshots (this was done using AnTuTu X benchmark).
Bought this phone couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely agree with you Varcain. Despite of few cons this phone is amazing for that price range, performance is good, screen is the same as many high-end devices and i am having absolutely no trouble playing latest games like Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger, etc...
I am just wondering when individual forum section will be available for this device on xda forums, where people with same phones could share their thought and someone even maybe will start developing custom roms for it?
And one more thing. Do you guys think this phone can get latest Android KitKat version? It would be even more awesome
I have it too and I agree with you guys. Phone is very fast and smooth. Games working perfect on high or max details. Phone dimensions with 4.7 inches display are awesome. I just wonder that it will get official android 4.4 and xda forums will have section L9 II and someone give us CM or something else. It has potencial and i think it will not be wasted. Oh, I almost forgot, anyone know how to root it?
I've owned this phone for a month now. It arrived at retail sores in Greece at the very attractive price of 249 euros. It's the most compact smartphone featuring a 4.7" display which is amazingly bright, with excellent color-rendering. The 2150 mah battery lasts twice as long as the Optimus G that I had. The camera produces very satisfactory images and the LED flash is bright enough to light a small room. The chipset is powerful enough for an unexpectedly smooth operation, probably more so than the S4 Mini wich had left me with mixed feelings probably because of the heavy Samsung interventions. Plastic is of a good quality, the paintjob is excellent and the device is made in Korea.
Here are screenshots of scores in Atutu and Quadrant, plus a samples of photos in Auto mode and in HDR.

I have seen games lagging in OP1 so shud i opt for Dell XCD35 or OP1 is great ? plz help folks .!
Well, Blade has a bigger screen and a nicer resolution but the processor, ram and gpu are the same. Plus you can't say it's better-looking.
Some games are lagging on the stock ROM but if you're thinking about modding your phone, the performance issues will be solved.

Well if you really want hd games then I suggest that you should save mor money and buy a more powerful device. This one is not for hd gaming, it's a budget smartphone...
More browsing, chatting etc - ZTE Blade
Games - o1
Cos they share the same chip but Blade aka XCD35 has a higher res screen ... so what lags on o1 will lag on the Blade ... But to be honest, none of these are meant for bleeding edge gaming ...
I'm an owner of an LG P500 but i suggest you to buy ZTE Blade. I wanted to buy it but in Italy we don't have it
ZTE Blade has a nice community like LG O1? There's a lot of ROMs like the ones to O1? Buy the phone just to buy without not even a little community is not so good.
Look by this side too. Now, by the posts above, make your best decision based in what you need and the support you will receive post buy.
Keep in mind that Optimus one P500 have bad sound quality, it makes all the time a backgroud buzzing/static noise, the noise is present in the phone speaker and in the headphones. I can't use my P500 as mp3player because of the loud background noise (it doesn't have anything to do with the headphones I use).
I wish I knew before I bought it.

Never heard of that before. Mine p500 never had sound issues and either have read something like that.
this depends on your standards, maybe some people don't mind having a background noise.
the speaker background noise is not audible in noisy places like in the street.

Is zte blade same as that of dell xcd35,coz it looks same but in gsmarena it shows step has 512mb ram and dell has only 256 MB ram..and someone here said zte has an arm 7 processor,but I cannot see that in GSM arena...

my p500 also sounds good. i aint had any sound issues...
Well, upon looking up the Dell's specs a BIG minus strikes me:
256MB DRAM
v. all the Optimus ship with 512MB DRAM, which can make a difference.
All else being equal(i.e. same SoC), I prefer the screen size/res of the Dell...
i had/have both. I had the blade (oled screen) for about two months. The display broke while i was loading my car.
You couldn't see a scratch from the outside, it's just the displays are very sensitive and the blade has a cheap body.
Aside from the better resolution of the blade, i'm much more happy with the p500. It takes a lot more beating, seems to be a better package all together and the casing is higher quality.
The original blade has 512 MB ram, just like the p500. The newer blades only have 256 MB but some of them can be "repartitioned" to use the extra ram. However, this is dangerous and if it fails, you brick the device.
Yeah Install a customr ROM and the performance issue will be fixed. Mine was fixed.

Hello folks, i'm a n00b.
I'm looking for a decent dual-cored smartphone,
and my eyes fell on the atrix 4g. (Do mind that in Europe you cannot buy the atrix2.)
Is this phone advisable to buy, or does it still have the issues of overheating / rebooting all the time?
And, should this phone be compared to the LG L7 P700 (which seems the only other option for the price), is it still a good buy?
In Europe these phones are priced roughly the same. (€300), [392.04 A. dollar]
Thanks in advance.

Only if you want a terrific and fast phone that can handle just about anything you throw at it!
FYI, I use mine all day long, in the car dock for navigation and MP3 playing while driving, as an actual phone in my hand/pocket, and in the laptop dock when I need it and I have never run out of juice or had it overheat. I think those reports are VERY anecdotal or are from people abusing their phones.
Go ahead and get one, you will not be sorry.

I must agree, it is a great piece of hardware, and software is up to you to choose. Great experience, great power. However one minor note here - you'd need to play with it, configure it and spend time with it - it is no iphone in my opinion, you'll need to MAKE it yours as you go. But it will pay off greatly. Honestly price-quality - on of the best on the market.

Looking at the specs of the phone the LG doesn't match up to the Atrix with ram (512 compared to 1gb) and also internal memory is only 4GB on the LG compared to 16 GB .
The atrix has a bigger capaity battery but not by much.
The screen is larger on the LG (4.3) but I am not sure how the pixels ect compare (480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density) compared to 540 x 960 pixels, 4.0 inches (~275 ppi pixel density) for atrix)
The LG will have ICS whereas Atrix has froyo (european is 2.3.4) but the atrix can be easily modded on here.
I've never owned an LG phone so I can't comment on build/durability but I have had my atrix for 8 months now and I've never had any of the issues you have mentioned and I can't recomend it enough.
I would think it's a choice between the 'new' LG or the older Atrix (not to confuse matters but you could always look at one of the 'new' motorola phones). Decisions Decisions!

+1 on everything except that atrix will be receiving ICS official as well
It's a great phone but if you have large hands/fingers, this will feel like holding a toy. I'd get the SGS2 if I were you and you will be good to go for a long time.
I would have to agree with everyone in that this phone is still a very reasonable option without spending tons of money. The best option for purchasing would be through an online retailer as a few of the carriers have stopped selling it. Most respectable web stores (ie Amazon, wirefly, etc should still have a decent number in stock)

Worth every penny very powerful and decent battery life.
Atrix is well wourth money hasnt had overheating problem since about 3rd or 4th update its extreamily stable and is as awsome as everyone above is saying this phone will even handle a 1.6 oc and only reaches 50 ºC on the heavyest of games and note the LG androids have a nasty habbit that depending on model they start rebooting at random after 6months-a year most optimus are 6 months

i have the same question, currently using desire z, very annoyed with the lag of ram which make it impossible to run many latest game, and how is this front camera perform?
im in the market for phone with at least 768 ram and ok front camera
and how easy to root this phone?
I use a Samsung G S II Skyrocket now as my main phone.
I use the Atrix for my lapdock, mainly.
Atrix is still a great phone but it is harder to deal with (unlock), the touchscreen isn't as responsive as the Skyrocket and it is slower than the Sky.
Also, Motoblur is a pain...
There are some cool tools for the Sky; Darkside Superwipe, for example. And the screen on the Sky is really gorgeous. Originally, I was unhappy with the battery life but a quick root, debloat and a Faux kernel fixed all of that. And the Sky folks are playing around with a leaked ICS...
i would be planning to flash rom straight away so motorblur won't be an issue if it is easy enough to root

its very simple to root this phone..just plug in, install drivers and run a program and it does everything for you..the front camera is good.. not great..but good for posing with the girlfriend or video chats..the back camera however takes great quality photos(if you want I can send you pics from either camera)
also, I've never experienced any lag while playing games on this phone(having played games like dead space and galaxy on fire 2, and fruit ninja HD)
Once Updated...
I've had the atrix for almost a year now, (rooted with a new launcher) and I liked it during that whole time. However I recently took the plunge and flashed ICS/CM9 (Jokersax)... now I love the phone. It's fast, smooth, well organized, a pleasure to use all around - with CM9, I feel like Android has finally reached the point where it is both more customizable AND more elegant than the easy-to-use iPhone.

okay, here you go, the first picture is the front facing camera, you can see its not wonderful quality but good for quick snapshots of yourself or you and whoever, and as good a quality for video calls as I've seen..the last two are from the back facing camera, and while it's not amazing, it's also no slouch either..
yeah I used skype once on it and it did work, but I mostly use gtalk and it works well..
of course if you have the time to wait for the quad phones to come out and the money to buy them, you might as well..this is a year old phone, which means it might be a little outdated, however its really excellent for the cheap price
edit: this is done without the MIUI camera, which takes better quality pictures, but doesn't allow you to take pictures through the front facing
The atriz has been out for about a year now so its gonna lose support after it gets ice. I'm having a boatload of problems. Wifi/Bluetooth is taken out and half of my screen isn't working. other then that its a pretty solid phone. When I close everything and have juice defender on extreme and screen off it dross about 2 percent per hour. It seems the Africa has its flaws like Bluetooth and the digitizer. I'm pretty sure that's why they released the affix 2 I think you should look into the newer phones. Then research what Rome they have and how strong the developing community is. The Africa for me is 7/10 just cause of the hardware problems. If it didn't it'd be 10. It can run with a tiny lag at 456 on neutrino Tom 2.6 which is incredible. But yeah. That's my take on the phone! Make sure the one you get has gorrila glass. The attic is a beast. I dropped it about 10 metres down the down the stairs on accident then fell another 5. Nothingbhappened to it haha. I heard the nexus has amazing battery life.

Atrix hands down!!
I have bought an Atrix for 15 days now and the only thing that I can say about it is that I absolutely adore it.
Its not my first dual core Smartphone since I came from a broken Optimus 3D, which, for the record, was the worst buy ever.
The Atrix is ridiculously faster than the O3D, the 1gb of RAM on the atrix does a huge difference and is really necessary nowadays (O3D had 512mb and was always out of free RAM)
The battery in the Atrix is unbelievable. Till today Never ran out of it, and would run out of battery every single day with the O3D.
The Atrix is way more reliable than any LG phone, and I'm telling you, I worked there, I know what I'm saying.
Go with the Atrix, you will NOT be disappointed, trust me.

Odp: Buying LG Optimus L9
It is good phone. Everything is good apart camera. It record fluently and fine but photos are average. It can be better if devs will come.
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
I'm using my L9 (P760) for more than two weeks already, I can say only the best about this phone. The processors are great, I'm really surprised for its performance even running games like Vice City, it performs almost the same as the Galaxy S3.
The battery is also great, it lasts for one day using it heavily (music, calls,messaging, web browsing, games, etc) without a problem.
Design - it looks very minimalistic, I love that. I have the white version, the only reason I picked white color was that the screen (when it's turned off) looked cheap for the black version, I mean the screen is a bit brighter, more like grey when comparing to the phone color it self, but for white it isn't noticeable. I hope you got what I wanted to say.
Camera could be better, but remember it's a 5mp camera, so the results are actually very good, + it captures 1080p Full HD videos.
Sony Xperia P is a good alternative for that price, but it doesn't have Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, the screen is smaller - 4 inches, weaker battery, though it has a 8mp camera and HDMI.
To conclude, I recommend you to buy the L9. In my opinion, it's the best phone in that price range.

I bought my LG 2 months ago, its quied decent device. The best thing about that phone it is performance. I was comparing with my friends Atrix 4g, Tegra 2, 1GB ram, smaller screen but same resolution, gues what :laugh: we compared the devices on Asphalt 7, tegra 2 was realy slower and have worse graphics, no reflections , no blur efect on nitro etc. LG put inside very good CPU/GPU TiOmap 4430/SGX540. In normal every day use u get one of the best phones, calls are realy loud and clear i have to lover volume because every time i talk i think i have loundspeaker on. We have here 2nd mic for noise cancelation and it works realy good you can talk even outside when wind blows.
It have only 4GB build in memory ant that is the bigges dissadvantage, u get for apps only 2,3gb, and without root ur still unable to move apps to sd card.
Updates : It looks like LG have changed few things i get 3rd update atm (v10c,e,g) in 2 months, we are looking in the future for possible JB update.
Summary : In that price range is the best smartphone u can get, battery life is very good, display is realy good, colours are vibrant and it is realy bright. U get WiFi Direct , DLNA conectivity, NFC, and one of the best UI on the market atm. Camera Could be better but it still enough good in this price.
Strong Dual Core SmartPhone (almost phablet 4,7 inch), almost forgot about QuickMemo its realy handy, u can make screenschot of ur display and draw or write anything u want. Good gaming performance. For normal use u dont need anything more.
JUST BUY IT , my advice.:laugh:

On lg site it have exactly the same specyfication like p760, i think it is region specyfic product.
p768 is little different due to fact it have 8mp camera, and p769 have little smaller screen 4,5inch and the camera is placed centered on the back not ont the left side like 760/765/768.
Every one have the same spec 4gb build in memory 1gb of ram and tiomap 4430 1ghz dual core procesor
I didn't know where else to ask - so - how's video playback guys?
Can it play 1080p video files? If it can, are they laggy, missing fps or so?
And i suppose it can play 720p without problems?

I bought my LG 2 months ago, its quied decent device. The best thing about that phone it is performance. I was comparing with my friends Atrix 4g, Tegra 2, 1GB ram, smaller screen but same resolution, gues what :laugh: we compared the devices on Asphalt 7, tegra 2 was realy slower and have worse graphics, no reflections , no blur efect on nitro etc. LG put inside very good CPU/GPU TiOmap 4430/SGX540. In normal every day use u get one of the best phones, calls are realy loud and clear i have to lover volume because every time i talk i think i have loundspeaker on. We have here 2nd mic for noise cancelation and it works realy good you can talk even outside when wind blows.
It have only 4GB build in memory ant that is the bigges dissadvantage, u get for apps only 2,3gb, and without root ur still unable to move apps to sd card.
Updates : It looks like LG have changed few things i get 3rd update atm (v10c,e,g) in 2 months, we are looking in the future for possible JB update.
Summary : In that price range is the best smartphone u can get, battery life is very good, display is realy good, colours are vibrant and it is realy bright. U get WiFi Direct , DLNA conectivity, NFC, and one of the best UI on the market atm. Camera Could be better but it still enough good in this price.
Strong Dual Core SmartPhone (almost phablet 4,7 inch), almost forgot about QuickMemo its realy handy, u can make screenschot of ur display and draw or write anything u want. Good gaming performance. For normal use u dont need anything more.
JUST BUY IT , my advice.:laugh:

On lg site it have exactly the same specyfication like p760, i think it is region specyfic product.
p768 is little different due to fact it have 8mp camera, and p769 have little smaller screen 4,5inch and the camera is placed centered on the back not ont the left side like 760/765/768.
Every one have the same spec 4gb build in memory 1gb of ram and tiomap 4430 1ghz dual core procesor

I didn't know where else to ask - so - how's video playback guys?
Can it play 1080p video files? If it can, are they laggy, missing fps or so?
And i suppose it can play 720p without problems?

Amazing. Records at 1080p smoothly. You can shoot movie.
Plays any 1080p video smoothly on phone and on TV with DLNA. Superb performance.

What do you mean by no light sensor? You mean the message led light that blinks when you have a message? Or are you talking about the light sensor that locks your phone when on a call if your face is near the screen. All L9's have a light sensor. They just don't have a led message indicator and if that makes it a junk phone then sir you are a picky person.
No light sensor as in the screen can't automatically adjust to how much light is in the room or outside. Not that big of a deal to me I guess. Then it can be adjusted by toggle on the notification bar. Keeping it on half brightness is good enough for me most of the time. The small internal storage space is probably a bigger issue.

screen brightness cannot automatically adjust with light sensor.
it is big hassle for Americans, we are driving all the time, we cannot see when it is too dark . we cannot manually adjust the brightness when driving.
Almost any modern android phones have this basic function, but L9 does NOT - what a junk.
Also, odd resolution of the screen is crazy; many app just not working correctly.
why they cannot make 1280x800 same as is brother G on same size screen

From what I've seen, nothing at this price point compares to the L9. If you want something better at this price point, I'm guessing by late March to early April we will see dual core S4 Pro devices fall in price to below 300, maybe even around 200. Who knows, maybe sooner? But if you need a phone NOW, go ahead and jump at the L9. It's pretty good.

I can tell you it can record 1080p video through its camera, and said 1080p video plays back in the standard android player quite nicely, with no signs of frame dropping, major stutters, or lagginess. I have not tried any external video, though I can't imagine it would be laggy, with how smooth stuff recorded in 1080p HD on the phone is on the playback.
Hope this helps.
ok, tnx, i'm watching movies on my phone often, so i was wondering about it since i saw relatively similar benchmarks as tegra2 with1 ghz which cannot play bigger resolution videos smoothly or even at all
From what I read, it seems that the CPU in our phones is better than the Tegra 2.

Eee, the worst? It's bu... not true. It is very good phone with big screen, good battery and nice performance. Don't compare to in example Galaxy S3. S3 is two times more expensive(in my country), so it have to be better.

I recently got to try one out. I loved its look and build. UI's pretty smooth. Display's really good, a major improvement from previous Z iterations. However, 5-10 minutes of tinkering isn't sufficient enough to get a good idea. So, do tell me: How good is this phone? In particular, how's the battery life? Are there any issues with overheating? I look forward to an honest reply.
I love it. My biggest issue is that the touch screen is too sensitive to sweat, and on a hot day the phone can make my hands sweat pretty bad! Battery life is totally amazing. I came from the Nexus 5 (which had better battery life then the N4)

This year I've owned the Nexus5, LG G3, M8 and the Z2. I would say for best all round performance and features the Z2 is the best flagship. The M8 is a close second but it has a poor camera. The Z2 is smooth and fast, has a good large long lasting battery, a good camera and a great adjustable crisp display.There is overheating when using the 4k video recording after around 10-20min but not in normal use for me. Its not perfect but its the best I've used this year.

I prefer the design of the G3 to the Z2.
Its only my personal opinion but I find the G3 to be laggy and the frame rate during animations to be low. My G3 also overheated and I had to get a replacement. I think the software and hardware is buggy. I believe the S801 is not up to producing the QHD display and it needs the power of an S805. After 2 weeks of use I returned my G3.
The Z2 uses almost the same GPU and CPU as the G3 (2.3Ghz Vs 2.5Ghz CPU same GPU) but only has to render 1080 so is faster and smoother. The G3 also thermal throttled a lot in my experience which made the performance worse.Battery life is also better on the Z2.
I should say ive only been using the Z2 for a week so problems may come later.

In the end its personal choice, the phone I might love you might hate.
The G3 might get great software updates, it might not. The Note 4 and Nexus 6 will probably be released in a few months also and I'm sure they will be great also.Its really up to you.

(Hot) & Sexy Phone
Hello,
Its been around 2 Months with this phone,
I am a die hard fan of Sony.
My feedback on this phone is....
-> Its amazingly Fast
-> Battery lasts for around 1.5 days of very heavy usage.
-> Sound Quality from Speakers - Not much loud - Not much low. - 50% 50%
-> Camera - Most of the time it produces great images, but sometimes I fail to understand what went wrong.
-> Screen is gorgeous, can't take my eyes away.
-> Overall design of the phone is - as usual - Fantastic, very sexy look.
I have only 2 problem with this phone.
-> Outside in the sun, Camera shuts off even while taking normal snaps - Heating Problem
-> Extra sensitive screen, it records touch of almost everything, although its nice but sometimes it creates problems.
Do any one compare Sony Xperia Z2 & Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F ?
My last 3 phones were the Note 3, Find7a, and Z2. I gave the Note3 to the wife, sold the Find7a, and rock the Z2. I am a fan of >5.5" screens so I'm sacrificing a little with the Z2 there but it has enough of the "complete package" for me. There is no perfect phone on the market imo currently. I'd like a 5.7" waterproof Nexus with a microSD card but they don't make those soo...
You want a honest reply ?
Okay. The phone is great indeed!
Although the speakerphone is low. Microphone is low too. I have to shout when I send voice messages thru WhatsApp.
Just buy
An Honest reply : this phone is cursed! always stuck at my hand wherever i go. I cant seem to let it go. It's a curse! save yourself! I cant divert my eyes! Help Me!... arggghhhh!!
seriously, this phone is amazing, battery life? I'm not constantly worries about charging anymore. I can play ingress for 3-4 hours and still got juice left. RECOMMENDED

As an HTC Fanboy who has also been able to use all of these mention phones, as well as the OnePlus One, iPhone 5S and Galaxy S5 (I work in telecommunications so i didn't own all of these phones, but I did get to use them all for at least 3 weeks) i have to agree with this statement.
Here's what Ive discovered about both the Z2 and M8: Both phones can be argued to be the best phones. Having 2 kids and taking most my pictures both in doors and poor lighting, I actually prefer the faster shutter speed of the HTC M8. I don't take macro shots of flowers, however I know many people do this as well as landscapes. (also in HTCs favor is the much much bigger development communitry) But that's beside the point. The M8 and Z2 are the 2 best phones available at the moment and then there is a HUGE, disparaging drop off between these 2 phones and the 3rd and 4th best phones (the OnePlus and LG G3).
So what sets these 2 phones apart from the rest of the 800 class snapdragon phones? Software. Sony, HTC and Motorola (but they don't count because technically their flagship is midrange) are so far a head of the competition that i have to say i have never seen such a disparity between what I consider tier 1 and tier 2 phones.
But I think the Z2 is the phone of the year over the M8 by just a hair, because despite the M8 having the better software of the 2, Sony's is good enough that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Actually most people wouldn't appreciate the snappiness of the M8. So the Z2 wins out in my opinion due to the superior hardware with the extra RAM, MPs, dedicated camera button, etc. The first 2 devices I tried this year were the Z2 and M8. And now at the end of the Spring releases, here I am back with the Z2 as my personal phone and the M8 as my work phone. And I couldn't be happier. I can tell you I definitely appreciate the Z2 and M8 so very much more now that I've used the S5, 5s, OnePlus, and G3.
You'd be crazy not to take either of these phones. But if you have a choice, grab the Z2. It's the more exciting of the 2.
Really want to get this phone but camera overheat issue in sunlight is worrying me a little.
If it overheats only while recording 4K videos then i don't care, but if it does so while taking Auto mode 8MP snaps as well then it is a big turn off.

Agreed, the Z2 and M8 aren't perfect but they're the best phones of the year so far by quite a long way.
As not fanboy but realist I can say after many sony phones (j70, z5, z7, xperia: S, Z, Z1, Z Ultra) z2 is really good phone with premium finish and ultra stability ...stereo speakers, lovely display, amazing headphone hole and pretty good camera make this phone almost perfect ...paired with smartwatch sw2 and few other things (sbh20 sbh80 mbh10 qed uplay and kef m200) and connected to smart house system z2 can become part of you ...not as before with other phones I can't say nothing bad about it
Well, please guys run a benchmark CF-Bench v1.3 and show screens with Native Disk Write scores. I have 4 to 9 score on my G2
I presume that such a low score indicates lack of TRIM support
Don't know if the stock kernel supports TRIM, but both Dorimax and Renderkernel support it.
My scores are higher on my LG G2 D801 running stock 4.4.2

What exactly does the TRIM score do that's so important you say you feel robbed by LG? You bought the phone to use as a phone. If it performs great in other tests, why do you feel your TRIM score is that important you're comparing your G2 to cheap phones that don't do half the things the G2 can?

This phone should fly and be screaming fast but it doesn't. so that's my complain. the TRIM support means that flash storage should clean up deleted files in a manner that new writes would perform as fast as on the new clean flash. And lack of TRIM means that onboard flash is "fragmented" causing writes to perform very-very slow. So when I bought this G2 year ago apks would install in a blink of an eye, like 3 seconds and it was DONE. But now I'm waiting like 20-30 seconds to update a simple 10-20 apk, and Chrome would take as much as 1 minute to been updated. So you see my point

I've had the same problem with other phones in the past too iPhones included. Found out the phones slow down if the storage space Is almost full like a computer hard drive.
What happens when you clear cache and free up space?
I use this to do manual trim. But i do not know how much trim actually helps.
