LG G4

does the pure gear one charge as fast as the original charger?

Puregear one is listed under Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. It does charges my HTC One faster than usual.

Oh thanks, not the 6 ports one with IQ technology?

No, diff adapter.

how much is the puregear charger? Can the plug be use in SG or do u need an adaptor?

I think most Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 are US based so need adaptor. I'm using an adaptor myself.

Should I just get S6 or wait for LG G4? Haha! Checked out on most reviews and realized when u record video from G4, the audio is muffled. Not as clear as S6 but still pictures, they're both similar. can't decide

IMO... There are other pros such as removable battery, sdcard, less bloatware (not applicable for root users), display?, leather back etc... So many other things to take note of, instead of just camera and video quality...
I personally don't require a very good camera quality, just a decent one will do cos most of the time I'll just send pictures through WhatsApp, Fb, instagram etc... So, to each his own... My current S4 had a bloated battery, which caused the phone to turn off every now and then... So, I'm glad I was able to swap the battery...

Did you guys see this in today's DL? DL and LG are having a "giveaway" -- not exactly a giveaway, just giving 50 readers a chance to try the G4 on-the-spot. But then there's a lucky draw at the end of the event, 3 people will win a leather back G4, 2 will win a plastic back G4

Interesting.

I don't really use sdcard (using M9 now and I didn't insert micro SD). Camera quality if its good, I can leave my 808 Pureview at home sometimes. Lol! I charge my phone usually when its depleted or about 1-5%. But I understand what you're saying. Each to their own preferences. Sigh. Still can't decide.

even just for everyday usage.
the features to swap for 2nd battery on the go,
is always better than carrying a powerbank around ....

its awkward to use my phone and charge via powerbank,
end up i brought my powerbank out a few times and simply refused to ever use it again.

I have actually never carried extra battery before for my mobile phones. And I rarely use my Powerbank. The one who uses my powerbank are usually my friends. I remember my Powerbank was full and all my friends wanted to charge their mobile. Haha in the end the Powerbank used up all the battery.

That's very very unhealthy... You're stressing the battery too much.

Speaking of power bank. I always carry at least one power bank with me. If I plan to go out for the whole day, I usually will bring 2-3 power banks. Better be ready than sorry. I also like to keep my battery level above 40% most of the time.

Hence, based on my usage, replaceable batt or not is not a big deal. The only reason replaceable batt will be good is when the phone has aged and battery degraded, which can be replaced if the batt is replceable. Other than that, I got my power bank or I charge whenever wherever I can to keep the batt in 40%-80% range.

E.g., still using my HTC One M7 and I don't feel any degradation on the batt yet. In contrast, I have bought and replaced a new batt for my HTC Incredible S.

Oh my.. Really? Didn't know. Sometimes I charge it when its at 20-25% when I just reach home. Is that bad too? Don't like to charge it when its only 50% or more

Best to keep the batt level above 20% (best between 20%-80%, yes, 100% is also not good for the batt) to avoid going through one charge cycle on every charge. You can read and research on how to maintain lithium batt online.

The faster the charge discharge cycles, the faster your batt will degrade.

I see.. Now I shall try to change my routine of charging phones. Haha!

This is the reason why all 50 official trial users should just get the phone for free since there are 5 people getting it with no mission no testimonial needed.
Halfway into the trial I already used to G4 so much I only use G4 camera to take pictures instead of my Htc B2 (which I am still using to answer call & send text), how dare they take it back away from me

So true. I don't know why pick 5 out of 50. Sigh.
