Practically unrivalled feature set
Big claims regarding brightness
New 48-inch version is ideal for gamers and smaller spaces
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

The editors didn't like
Tabletop stand sold separately
Needs further testing
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
Not metal all over
Modular design is a blessing and a curse
So-so battery life
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
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
Accessories are a gimmick
Build doesn't match rivals
Slightly less than premium build
Battery life not the best
Fingerprint scanner not quite as good as some
Dull design
Sure to be expensive
Battery could be bigger
Uninspiring look
No more app drawer
Always
On screen is a battery drain
Build quality iffy
Accessories pricey
Modular concept needs to be fleshed out
Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present
Switching Modules Is Clunky
Lackadaisical sound without Hi-Fi Plus module
Soso screen brightness
Modular expansion may not pan out
Dodgy build quality
Software is on the ugly side
Expensive modules
Future potential has yet to be realized
Battery life is weak
Modules are hard to connect
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 an impressive device. However, its unique modular design doesn't have a lot to do with it; at least at the moment. What makes the G5 a great smartphone is everything else. Its stunning build, doesn't fail to grab attention when you take it ou...
Great Camera, Good Display, Fast and Responsive Fingerprint Sensor, Good Audio Quality, Removable Battery and Add on Modules, Great Call Quality over Earpiece and Loudspeaker
Poor Battery Life, Design Lacks Premium Feel and Refinement, Pricey Modules, "LG G5 Review", 4 out of 5 based on 33 ratings,
The LG G5 is a really interesting smartphone. The modular setup and the dual cameras really make it stand out from the rest of the crowd. It also performs really well when it comes to the camera, audio and display departments. However, it lacks that sort...

Good, Good screen, Excellent cameras, Fantastic performance, Decent battery life, Good fingerprint sensor, Modular design
Expensive, Questionable build quality, Only 32GB internal storage, Only one optional module currently available
LG's G-series phones have always been a bit hit-or-miss, and last year's G4 (Review) fell short in some departments, particularly when it came to battery life and software. The laser autofocus wasn't quite as intuitive as we had expected either. The LG G5...
