every LG phone i've encountered seems to have problems.
believe it or not, the very first dual core phone was made by LG and i bought it for that very reason. this was the LG G2. 6 months into it, it randomly rebooted. then other hardware failures started. it did not end until the screen (digitizer) became completely unresponsive. t-mobile (the carrier i used) would not take responsibility, and LG would not take responsibility. there was a whole forum full of people complaining about it. and even tmobile knew to remove it from their retail stores. from that time on, i kept an eye on every newly released phone made by LG for a couple of years after this. each one, when newly released cost upwards of $300.00 or more at release time (and this price is only with a service contract on top). just about 3 months after release, the phones have suddenly dropped to $50 (again, with a contract). though i can't be sure, i suspect that the price drop was due to "beta" testers finding problems with these phones. and even with the nexus 5x, there were problems. the major issue with the nexus 5x was the boot loop issue, widely publicized. i had a friend who had one for about a year and a half when it suddenly just would not boot at all. this happened overnight.
samsung just screws with android, thinking that it makes things simpler for users when the opposite is true.
ok. rant over.
correction: it was the LG G2X, not the G2. the G2X is a variant of the Optimus 2X
