The editors didn't like

  • Uninspiring look
  • No more app drawer
  • Alwayson screen is a battery drain
  • Although you can swap out some parts
  • There aren't enough to make this feature compelling. You can only access the phone's app drawer in a specialized theme
  • Dim
  • Washed out screen
  • Modular Friends are niche at best at the moment
  • Finish prone to wear
  • Not many module choices
  • No "hot swapping" of modules
  • Bloated user interface
  • No app drawer
  • Edge is sharper than you expect
  • Android feels more like iOS
  • And that may not appeal to all people
  • No water-proofing
  • Battery life isn't on par with other 2016 flagships
  • “Friends” accessories aren't necessarily cheap and don't come with the phone
  • Chan
  • Questionable design
  • Battery could be better

  • Abstract:  My very first impressions, on seeing the G5 launch in Barcelona, was that LG was onto something here. The phone itself is striking, and yet perhaps understated. It doesn't ooze glitz like Samsung's Galaxy S7 range, and I think that's a good thing — it's m...

  • Abstract:  They say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but when it comes to smartphones, we all want more functionality, while expecting the hardware to keep getting thinner. With the G5, LG believes it's found a way to meet those expectations by adding functi...

  • No-contract pricing of the G5 will vary depending on carrier. AT&T charges $689; T-Mobile, $630; Verizon, $624 and Sprint, $576. This is roughly what you'd expect to pay for a top-tier phone. Various contract pricings will also be available, depending...

  • A full metal design, Wide angle rear camera, Neat alwayson display
  • Uninspiring look, No more app drawer, Alwayson screen is a battery drain
  • The LG G5 plants a new flag in the company's flagship phone series, with a metal design, side-mounted buttons and a brand new always-on display. Just don't look for the flashiest device or some of the best features from the LG V10...

  • Abstract:  The first upgradable smartphoneIn the old days, computers were made up of a bunch of widgets slotted together. When a component failed or a better one came along, you could undo a screw or pop open a flap and do a quick swap. Desktop PCs are still l...

  • Abstract:  Not that long ago, with a budget under 300 dollars you could only afford a borderline-decent smartphone, with a low performance, a weak camera and overall, there was a mile between it and the more expensive, high-end flagship phones. But, a couple of year...
