Not metal all over, modular design is a blessing and a curse, so-so battery life
The LG G5 is never going to win prizes for good looks, but it excels in quirky innovation with a modular design and dual rear-facing cameras (one of which is wide-angle)...

The G5 is bold move from LG and they have to be congratulated.No-one else is making a device that can be customised at a touch of button and for pure innovation we'd love to give LG top marks – but we can't.Although it's a neat idea we're not quite sure i...
Genuinely innovative, Great camera, Removable battery
Accessories are a gimmick, Build doesn't match rivals
I like the LG G5 a lot, it's a real joy to use. Not because it's a perfect smartphone, but because it's innovative. If you want a ‘stand out' smartphone to make a geeky statement, the G5 is it. The modular design is interesting, and the ability to...

Abstract: They say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but when it comes to smartphones, consumers 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 fun...
We won't give our final verdict until we've thoroughly tested the HTC 10. However, it's clear each phone has its advantages. You might like the LG G5, with its modular design, generous display size and removable battery. Alternatively, the more compact Ga...
The LG G5 is one of the most radical phones to come along in a while and we're glad the firm has shaken things up with the modular design. The G5 is innovative and interesting with unique features but it's a shame the design and build feels unfinished in...
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
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
This is the phone to get if you want a removable battery, but it fails to live up to its world-changing Swiss Army Knife potential...
Build quality iffy, accessories pricey, modular concept needs to be fleshed out
If you are one of those people who love the zaniest, whackiest piece of tech and call yourself an early adopter, then the G5 is for you. The modular design doesnt do enough and even though the phone is sold on the premise of its friends, the availabil...
Superfast when it comes to opening apps and surfing the web, Great camera features for selfie lovers such as the ability to take a photo by speaking world like cheese or smile, or even face detection mode that activates the shutter when it sees a face as
The rear of the smartphone doesn't have the same premium feel as some smartphones, Only available in one relatively small amount of storage capacity
The LG G5 is one of the best perfoming Android smartphones we've seen, and if having an excellent camera on your smartphone is a priority then this is the ideal handset for you. The LG G5 takes sharp and clear pictures, even in low light and we love the W...
While the jury is out on the Friends, I really like what I've seen of the LG G5 so far. It feels lovely in the hand, is super-zippy to use, and has a great camera. The battery life is certainly “good enough” for all but the most demanding of users (and ma...
