My 2013 LG G2 is starting to act funny. Locks up and reboots randomly. Any ideas for a similar parallel 2013 replacement, or the next level 2014 upgrade at a good value?
Nexus 5X @$300 ($350 for 32 GB) is a great deal if you are still looking. It's got a solid build quality, excellent camera, and fantastic display.
No. Thanks in part to Google's aggressive management and in part to excellent efficiency of A53 (LITTLE) cores, perceived lags are minimal for everyday operation. The phone is actually very snappy all around. When the SOC is stressed hard (e.g. slow-mo video or 4K recording) you might notice some inconsistencies, but those occasions should be rare. Games should play fine as well because the Adreno 418 seems more resilient than the A57s in the Snapdragon 808. It is a phone that I would not mind paying more than $300.
Its not the sd808 that's causing this issue, it seems to be the full disk encryption, again google is not using the 808's hardware disk encryption but arm's software variation. Remember how fde slowed down the nexus 6?
