  • Innovative design

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

  • Clean Android overlay, Better build quality, Wellbalanced photos, Swappable battery
  • The HTC 10 is the finest phone in a line that was getting a bit long in the tooth, with no real weaknesses that are worth mentioning. It's well-designed, with fast software, much improved camera, and a traditional stress on audio prowess. The LG G5, howev...

  • Innovative all aluminum design, Removable and user-replaceable battery, Micro-SD for storage expansion, Excellent dual cameras on back, Future-proof USB Type-C port and extremely quick charging speeds
  • Modular design is loose, only one module available in the U.S, Very rough and unfinished design, feels rushed, Average battery life (smaller 2,800 mAh battery), Dim display with unnatural colors and whites
  • At the end of the day users are going to buy what they want, trust and are familiar with. Anyone who has enjoyed an LG smartphone will feel right at home with the LG G5. It's a good phone with all the bells and whistles, with more than enough power to mak...

  • Abstract:  Over the last couple of years, Android OEMs have moved on to using metal with their flagship smartphones, be it in the form of a metal frame, a metal and glass construction, or a full metal design. Plastic has quickly fallen out of favor, and while LG was...

  • Modular idea has a lot of potential, replaceable battery, solid performance, the wide-angle rear camera is great for landscape shots, very comfortable to hold
  • Battery life and performance slightly lag behind other phones at this price range, durability concerns about the plastic bottom of the battery module, having the fingerprint scanner on the back can be inconvenient, Prev3 of 3Next
  • With Samsung and Apple dominating the flagship smartphone market, it's vital for everyone else to get the details right if they want to compete. Performance and battery life are just a shade behind the others, but our biggest concern is with what was supp...

  • Abstract:  While its past G-series flagships have been small evolutionary upgrades on previous handsets, this year LG revolutionised its flagship with a modular-toting battery-replaceable metal design.Yet, change doesn't always mean for the better, and while there's...

  • Great performance, Dual-camera setup is fun, fascinating, Modular design has potential
  • The first add-on accessories aren't great, Fit and finish doesn't impress, Middling battery life
  • LG's choice to build a modular flagship smartphone is so brave it borders on nutty -- too bad the phone doesn't live up to its potential. It's a powerful smartphone with an inspired approach to photography, but it feels like LG made too many compromis...

  Published: 2016-04-17, review by: talkandroid.com

  • The world's initial impression of the LG G5 was that the phone's modules would make or break it. After spending multiple weeks with the phone and seeing module support dwindle, the modular design means nothing at all for the G5. This is yet another phone...
