i think as a fan of a brand doesnt mean u necessarily have to only consume the products from that brand, keeping an open mind to other brands and what they are achieving is good for broadening perspective.
actually from G4 days I was also a LG fan. I stuck with my G4 for 2 years (and 2 bootloop incidents) and it was the device that got me interested in manual photography. That being said today my daily driver is a Asus Zenfone 5 as my previous LG G6 had a very underwhelming camera performance. I still keep an eye out on LG hoping they will make another camera leap forward (currently they still have the best manual mode UI imo)
haha. The force of using something familiar is very strong in one actually. Not as easy for some to switch as and when as compared to others. Had a tough time to decide to splurge on Note7 or not as I came from Note series for previous 2 version. Had it not been recalled and cancelled, I might have not known the beauty of V20. However, when V30 came out, it was plagued with a few issues and one non-issue to others was to me an issue - 2nd screen. I find it quite useable but others and LG don't see so. When V40 was announced with telephoto, it got me excited again. But when details were revealed, fineprints like the wide angle not being so wide, the pricing and now the launch date being silent etc kindda kills the momentum.
When Huawei added wide angle, that pretty much swayed me over. With a confirmed launch date and pricing, many who are gunning for the wide angle camera have another phone to think about. Add in all the capabilities and big battery, I think it's a no brainer. I miss the excitement LG brought to me using their manual mode and wide angle on my 1st day of usage. But LG thought me that it was and is possible to jump ship whenever the situation fits.
