Design is nice, battery life can get through a day, photos turned out great
Price, speaker quality isn't the best, display was a hit and miss some days
At the end of the day, I'm always happy with my G5, other than the few issues I've already named. Issues are common in anything these days, but some can get past it and some can't.LG G5$630MSRP(USD)4.6 Out of 5Nailed itDesign is nice, battery life can get...
Over the past few weeks that I've had the different Friends, I've found myself more and more enamored with the 360 Cam. Sure: it has its shortcomings: a) I may need to invest in a tripod or monopod holder for it to get steadier photos and better stitching...
Metal body with semimodular design Gorgeous highres display, Powerful hardware, Impressive snappers, Userreplaceable battery
Flimsy build, Modular accessories are pricey
In today's market, you can get affordable flagships such as the recently-launched OnePlus 3 (review | FAQs) or LeEco Le Max 2 (first impressions) at almost half the price of the G5, which offer a beefy 6 gigs of RAM. However, the Korean titan has ensured...
Abstract: In my surroundings, I am known as the "LG girl." I switched to the brand in 2013 when the G2 was announced and fell in love with the big screen, the great camera, and even LG's own software additions on top of AOSP. I recall showing friends and acquaintan...

Abstract: “The G5 offers everything you could ask from a smartphone camera. But is that enough?”The use of dual camera sensors on smartphones isn't a new phenomenon. HTC pioneered the concept with the Evo 3D back in 2011, and since then, we have come a long way. No...

With so many smartphones to choose from, it's difficult for any one device to stand out. This is especially true for flagships that come packed with the best hardware and nearly every feature available. The implementation of these features and how they co...
Modular design innovative, Fantastic camera set and software, Exceptionally fast performance
Dated look, Poor display brightness, Large display rim
The LG G5 is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. Its camera and innovative modular design are appealing, as is its powerful and stable chipset. It's not the most attractive phone in the world, though. In fact, it looks like a flagship...
Innovative modular construction, 5.3-inch IPS display (1440 x 2560) and an AlwaysOn function, Exceptionally fast battery charging, thanks to the USB Type-C port and Quick Charge 3.0, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow + revamped LG UI, High CPU and GPU performance
Not a very durable battery, We expected better image quality from the main camera
Many people find LG's G5 as a risky attempt because of its striking changes from last year's model. Undoubtedly, there is something charming about this design and additional modules. We can't be sure though how customers will receive these novelties. Ther...

Excellent range of hardware, including a fast Snapdragon 820, great 1440p display, fingerprint sensor, microSD card slot, and USBC. Comfortable, ergonomic design. Dual camera system is versatile and takes fantastic photos.
The modular slot is a complete dud, providing no compelling additional features. LG's ‘metal' body is underwhelming. Software lacks the polish a highend phone deserves. Disappointing battery life.
