    I bought an mx4 pro last year for £120 GB so 290$ is too much for such an old phone. Sound wise its great but otherwise no so much. The home button malfunctioned, no proper software support and the battery life is terrible. I have an LG v10 now and it is superior to the mx4 pro in every way...

    Hi guys, I upgraded from a meizu mx4 pro to a LG V10. Its still a great phone and a good upgrade for me coming from an MX4 pro. As far as audio is concerned, i would not say its any better but i am no audiophile. -Tested using tidal HIFI ( headphones used fidelio X1, KZ ATE, ROCK zircon)

    The boot loop cause in case of the LG v10 is the hardware. Basically the heat sink pads for the processor are useless. ~some thermal paste and new pads after you reflow the chip should be good enough to solve the issue.    The nexus 6p seems like a different issue, Its interesting to see this...
