  • A full metal design
  • Wide angle rear camera
  • Neat alwayson display
  • The LG G5's unique modular design lets you swap in fun accessories. It has (two!) great rear cameras
  • Expandable storage and a replaceable battery -- a rarity in high-end phones
  • Incredible main camera
  • Wide-angle camera is a lot of fun
  • Innovative design
  • Excellent display
  • Impressive dual lens camera
  • Fast processor
  • Modular design
  • Fast battery charging
  • Design is nice
  • A typically lovely screen from LG
  • Though one that isn't OLED
  • Two cameras
  • The first of which is pretty good
  • Blazingly fast 4G speeds
  • Gesture keyboard is very good in this generation
  • Replaceable battery
  • “Friends” accessories bring mor

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

  • Excellent Camera, Great Design, Modular Aspect Has Potential, Excellent Performance, Great Battery Life, All Metal Design With Zero Antenna Bands
  • Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present, Switching Modules Is Clunky
  • A lot of people seem non-plussed by the G5; some even claim it looks boring and lacks the charm of last year’s model. I 100% disagree with this sentiment — the G5 is a vastly superior device to what came before. It has enough new features, attributes...

  • The LG G5 has a plain look, side-mounted volume buttons, a fingerprint sensor and a 5.3-inch display, making it like the metal version of the Nexus 5X with an extra tenth of an inch. That's okay, because LG also built the Nexus 5X and it was a great phone...

  • The performance of the LG G5 is super slick. The Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM shine – making everything from emails to gaming quick and easy, I'm also a fan of the QHD display, which at 5.3 inches is excellent for a Netflix binge or a gaming se
  • My main sticking point with the LG G5 is its battery life. Having used the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the G5 just can't compete and that's a real shame, It all too often found itself running low as I left work, and dying completely shortly after getting home
  • The LG G5 is a bit of a funny one. It's giving us a glimpse of the future thanks to the modular setup, but its true potential is currently unrealized, and things could stay that way for a while as we wait for exciting, new modules to appear.Where does tha...

  • Abstract:  A fascinating high-end smartphone in its own right, it's the inclusion of LG's Friends feature that elevates the G5 to the realms of true excellence. The innovative modular design makes the phone look, act and feel different according to your specific nee...

  • Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present, Switching Modules Is Clunky
  • The moment I saw the LG G5 at MWC 2016 I knew it was something special. And not just because of its modular aspect, although that was certainly an eye-catching feature. No, for the most part I like what LG stands for, what it's all about — pushing the bou...

  • The battery isn't removable and it no longer supports Friends (oh no). In every other respect the LG G6 is a big and bold upgrade over the LG G5, and we'd say it's by far the better phone. However, we'll know more when we've had it into our Test Centre fo...

  • I have to admit I've still enjoyed using the LG G5 and on-contract the price is no-where near that of the iPhones and yet you are getting a lot of features for your money! More i'd admit on the camera front (which is superb) and the phone's general perfor...

  • UI flaws aside, there's no denying that the G5 is an incredibly ambitious device from LG, and it's by far the most unique smartphone I've ever tested. Initially, I had my doubts over whether departing from the G4's handsome leather looks was a wise move...
