Above Average
*2018 Bezel less like approach with a bad Chin
*Metal like Body( it's not metal)
* Sturdy look

IMHO it looks really good for that price.
- Never thought that I'll have a full-screen experience until I'll buy at least a mid-range priced phone. Ultrabudget device? Woah.
- The body feels solid. Back plate is metal and the edges are plastic, including the antenna parts.
- I love the screen. 720p resolution doesn't really bother until you look really closely, and that works fine for me. The IPS matrix is better than on previous models. You can see that black colours are darker and less blue-ish. Max brightness does great on a sunny day.
- The camera/led/fp sensor part is really good. It looks better than on RN4X, it looks more mid-range than ultrabudget. My device is black btw.
The only thing that I don't like is the side bezels, but I guess it's ok for a 120$ device. Top/bottom bezels are nice

It's slim

LG V10
I previously had note 3 and galaxy nexus and this phone is such a great looking phone with stainless steel on the sides and secondary screen on the top. I love how short the top empty space is (the area on the top) and also the bottom portion. Also, the back of the phone (removable back) gives a premium feel along with a huge circle for the camera.
I've had Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, LG G4, Motorola Atrix HD, and Sony Z3 all within a year's use. The N4 and AHD were nice. The N6 feels great in the hand well balanced, G4 much the same. But the Sony Z3 stood out as clean and sleek.
The v10 a cross between the N6 G4 that almost meets the Sony in its clean sleek design. Altho the ss is nice looking bling. I would have preferred Teflon or the same materials used on the Sony sides, much like the v10 back, too and lower bezel material. It can take drops dings and bangs much more IMO.
IMO, the LG V10 reminds me of Blackberry devices - they look business/professional friendly and don't scream "hey, im a teenager and my mommy bought this phone for me!"
The V10 has the look of being "professional". The stainless steel sides add a bit of variation but since most of it has the brushed effect, it is not too shiny so it makes the phone have a subtle look. The V10 is like the badass of the room. It doesnt need to be loud cuz it knows it can kick your ass.
hands down best mix of aesthetics and practicality in a smartphone ever
Forgot to mention, has anyone with an LG G4 noticed the effect/illusion of the screen having a belly or curved upwards concave instead of downward convex? It's messing with my mind and eyes.
It's not like there's a lot of options for the look of a phone, it's more-or-less a cookie-cutter rectangular design as that's the format that works. It the the textured back of the phone that I like the most.
Front and back look nice and clean. The sides suggest a tough build. Looks more premium than many other phones out there.

i have the gold one, love the way handset looks/feels
Z3+(z4) is a bit more sleek though, thinner, shinier.
Green one is fantastic
got the black one so so so sexy and beautiful, it feels so premium
I think its a beautiful phone, the 'candybar' design does look rather attractive
Yes, I feel it's much improved from the Z3 Compact even, esp the speaker design and frosted back. The entire phone feels more matte to me, and the speakers on the front are almost invisible the way they are just slits at the top and bottom, great for using glass screen protectors. Feels good in the hand and is significantly faster than my Z3c
I have graphite black and phone is nice looking and premium build.
In he's class is maybe best buy on the market.

i dont know what to say but sony phones have the greatest design ever, with their unique "square" design. i like it.
Just buy a Chrome Z5 Premium and he is gorgeous ! I had the gold one before he was great too
Bezels are too big, and while the buttons look nice, they are not placed in the best position.
Coming from an S6, this the best looking device i have ever used,Sony did an awesome job.

Too samsung/iphone look alike
Got the black one, looks great but I am not sure it will stay that way. I am extra carefull with my phones and this one has two where the bezel meets the back of the phone. Wished I could get the silver/black color combo but it wasn't available in my country.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this comment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that's all I'll say about entitlement. That said, I truly see an hTC device when I look at the 10. While it doesn't carry some of the design elements present in previous iterations of their devices, even just glancing at this phone I see hTC. Sure, from the front many people may see the all glass front and rectang-ovular home key and think Samsung or, in my opinion far from iPhone looking design. But when you see the front facing camera and the long/wide earpiece it tells a different story. Then you get to the sides, top, bottom and chamfered and sharp edges of the back you know it isn't apple or sammy.
I actually really like the design of the 10 in that it is a solid/rigid design and feel sturdy and has unique elements that speak to hTCs design language, and I appreciate what they've put into it.
Iphone is distinct with the round home button ... but if you put in real life, on the same table, a white S6/S7 and a white HTC 10, both face up, for an untrained eye will be hard to say which one is which from few meters away and they will most likely be idendified as being both Samsungs. This mean HTC lost its identity. When I had the M7 it was obvious what phone it is from any angle, in any colour. Not anymore. The HTC design personality is heavily diminished in the 10.

The S3 looks great surely not a shocking or eye catching design but its simple and I like it, not heavily branded especially the front, just the LeEco logo on the back which isnt even big at all, the only downside is the black boarder bezels but thats something to get over fast
well if they used all black front that would have been awesome not a fan of silver colour front which makes those bezels more prominent
The look of the black frame around the screen is hard to get used to but apart from that the S3 is a good looking phone by 2016 standards. Of course modern bezel-less phones are way superior but the S3 beats them hands down in price-performance ratio. That's a beautiful thing in and of itself.

It's a beautiful phone, especially for the price. I really like its curves, sits comfortably in the hand. Overall looks 2 - 3 times more expensive than it is in my opinion, but unfortunately the performance is where compromises are. Honestly the shape of this phone is probably my favorite from all Nokia Android phones, I wish there was a better performing version of this phone.
