Modular design with replaceable battery, Sleek metal body, Amazing camera, More than enough power, Considerable potential for the future
Future potential has yet to be realized, Battery life is weak, Modules are hard to connect
The amount of work, thought, effort, and commitment that has gone into creating the G5 is astonishing. While other brands are accused of coasting along with endless rehashes of previously successful handsets, LG has come out with something that drives t...

Really good camera, plenty of power on board for slick experience, modules make a point of difference unlike the competition, decent Quad HD screen with at-a-glance always-on feature
Not great battery life, design looks plasticky, modules impact design and we can't seem them catching on, fingerprint scanner small and less receptive than some competitors
The LG G5 is a flagship that's going to split the crowd; it's certainly had us bouncing from pillar and post. That module-based design is such a radical shake-up of the flagship market that we want to be excited, we really do, but we're just not. Be...
We really like that LG has done something quite different with the G5 by introducing a metal design which also features a removable battery. That design element also becomes an accessory slot which give it a unique selling point, especially against the Ga...

Accessory slot, Dual-lens camera, Great screen
Dull design, Sure to be expensive, Battery could be bigger
The LG G5 is an exciting phone that chooses both innovation and specs. LG could do with a little more flair for design, but the G5 offers things that no other phone does...

A full metal design, Wide angle rear camera, Neat always, on display
Uninspiring look, No more app drawer, Always, on 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...
Great picture, Great sound (with Hi-Fi Plus module), Superb camera, Expandable memory, Removable battery,
Lackadaisical sound without Hi-Fi Plus module,
The LG G5 is a fantastic bit of kit. It's not as slick as the Samsung Galaxy S7, but it is just as capable. And we give LG full marks for innovation. That camera is a joy to use, and the modular components are a brilliant idea that we hope will get more a...
Lovely screen, Great wide-angle camera, USB-C fast charging
Dodgy build quality, Software is on the ugly side, Expensive modules
LG G5 – Battery Life 2,800mAh (removable), Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, USB Type-C The battery life on the LG G5 is good. Not phablet good, but it managed to easily last the day with about 10% remaining when I plugged it in before bed. The 2,800mAh battery...
The LG G5 isn't the best-looking smartphones on the market, but it's hard to argue with LG when it claims it's the most exciting handset out there right now. We've long been promised a modular smartphone at LG is the first to make the upgradable smartphon...

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...
