I wish LG was still on the market. I would have loved to buy the LG Velvet plus the second screen case. However no carrier offered the phone with a contract.

The LG V20 was the last great flagship phone that had a removable battery. I miss those.

Mine was a piece of junk. It would crash whenever I tried to open snapchat. Super slow in general. Completely stopped working after like a year and had to be replaced.

All the v line phones were at least still pretty easy to replace the battery on with minimal effort, even if they weren't quick access. The problem became finding new oem batteries.

I have the LG wing and it's great. I am going to really miss it when I have to do the inevitable change....

I had the LG G3, which was the first phone with a 2K display. It was also my first android phone that had a lot of power.
