Crapwiz. That's all I have to say.

Crap, laggy, ugly, what you want more?

worst skin you could ever have installed on your phone.
Touchwiz=**** OS

It's fine for me, but I know it's not the best and it's sometimes a bit laggy.

Crapwiz?

I'm ultra-late to comment to this...
Touchj**zed, plus it had a feature constantly annoyed me to 'clean phone' even having freed up more than 1 GB, 'coz Cheetah Mobile-baked app called Smart Manager. Also you've got only 40% (from 7.8GB) usable internal storage out from the box and easily fills up.
Thank God for custom ROMs!

I seriously hate Samsung Experience

I like it. Dark screen with Icons and Widgets that are easy and clear to see. I like the software too. It's smooth, easy to use and the options are a cinch to customize to the users preference.
I think I prefer Samsung's take on Android, more than LG's. LG hasn't really gone forwards as much as I hoped. It's not bad, but all the extra bloatware is just that - you don't need any of it, and it brings nothing new on the table. The tweaks to make it an LG phone are OK, but it's a bit of a mess to be honest. Too many settings and options to choose from, too little effect on actual functionality.
I think the V10 has way less bloat out of the box than previous G series phones... (On Verizon)

Overall speed

Would you say that the HTC U Ultra is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the HTC U Ultra exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

To tell you the truth I'm disappointed.. It gets stuck alot when I use few apps simultaneously..
I'm surprised to hear that. This is one of the fastest and smoothest phablets I've ever had. I'm a civil engineer and I even do minor dwg file editing when away from the office. Viber, Messenger, WhatsApp etc are always in the background as is Gmail, Office Lens, Chrome and Dropbox. Also, notifications keep storming in.
I really haven't seen such smoothness and speed since the 1+ 3T running the AEX ROM. Keep in mind that the 1+ had 50% more memory!
I've had my Ultra for 6 months, and it can handle anything I throw at it. It was good on Nougat, but better on Oreo. It games with the best of them, it handles multitasking like a breeze, and with a near stock interface, it runs hella fast.
RAM mangament should be better. On my previous Asus Zenfone 2 I can open more apps without reload. Mabye flash custom kernel and ROM will help. Except that - I am very satisfied.

Hated notifications
The most screwed up part of EUI was the notification drawer. I switched to Lineage OS and had no words to describe how satisfied I was with the stock notification drawer.

Have you tried debloted stock-based ROMS like Slim EUI, Small EUI etc? Which features do custom Android 7, 8, or 9 have that are indispensable for you and are they worth the relatively high instability in custom ROMS not based on EUI?

OEM rom is EUI which was good but now there is no company so no update and support. So thats why most of the people have been moved to Custom Roms.
eui is really uncomfortable to use. I couldn't even manage it. Had to flash custom rom.
worst phone ever build , last for two weeks after i bought , this phone have auto lock base band ans imei or stooped updates ,if you try to install other Rom or even Recovery , you wouldn't be able to recover your Leeco , this is why it is one other Chinese garbish build as all China Build are , why , well they hack all programs that are included in there phones , and don't pay the developer builders, it is simply stolen , not like the Japan builds , very good builds , the best ever even , china use other builds to put in to there phones , as Qualcomm , Sony cameras ,etc ,etc useless one the long therm , even Xiaomi , use everything in there builds from other brand , they have no knowledge of self builds , and seems not tomorrow that they will be able to make there own things , everything is copied , so yes beautiful phone but worthless , two weeks of working than it dies slowly , or have no updates , etc ,etc , **** builds

I have have the LG K8 US215 and am currently using it. I love the feel,the lightweight feeling,and even some of the built in features. Such as the File Manager and even access to Google apps.
However one thing I didn't like is how easy it is to crack the screen. Plus when I tried checking for updates on the phone and the software it keeps telling me repeatedly that my phone isn't registered. Yet I'm registered with LG products and my phone carrier. I don't know how to get past this by won't give up till I find a solution. Other than that,I love this phone.
Been thinking of getting another one just like it and trying to root this one.
Got the LG-K350N and man I love it....it became my most favorite of all phones I had....It´s cheap and after root, added 16GB sd to internal memory, Xposed incl. battery saver.
I must admit I use a smartphone for only the usual (light) things like: calling, camera, Whatsapp, Youtube, Music, navigation, Chess.com, Showbox and popcorn. And I dont look for custom roms anymore as I did with my other phones.
But the size, weight and touchscreen makes it the best I ever had!

this device will remain a companion for many years with me I'm sure of it. specially that its price is dropping so fast (cost me 375$ one day use).
the physical keyboard has, and will always be a PLUS for business and personal use. consider using Putty on an android phone with a touch keyboard and a multi-window mode and you'll know what I mean.
Out of all the years using cell phones this is my favorite phone I've ever had. I love this phone.
Yes, absolutely one of my favorites, right up there with the Samsung icky (i760) I don't even mind not having root! Can't wait for the BlackBerry KeyTWO.
its a blackberry.. that runs android.
