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
Despite all the flaws, the LG G5 is an impressive flagship phone that offers great camera, beautiful display, modular design and more. Video: LG G5 Reasons To Not Buy Also Read: LG G5 vs LG G4 Comparison: What's Different? var dd_offset_from_cont...
Impressive design, Removable battery, Dual camera arrangement
Needs a lot of effort to take out the battery, Overpriced
The G5 is a nice smartphone with pretty good features and a wonderful design. But, LG has priced the smartphone at Rs 52,990, which is on the higher end of the pricing scale in the Indian market where there are many competitively priced phones that ca...
The LG G5 is priced like a true flagship, and on paper, is also built like one. Unfortunately, reality paints a different picture.The phone holds a lot of promise. It's rare to find a phone that performs this well and offers so much. If only LG had ta...
Abstract: Rating : 85/100 Price : INR 52,900LG always has something to offer in a different way with its flagship smartphones. From curved to flexible displays, self-healing rears, leather finishes and now modular design, the brand likes to take a walk on the wild...
Extremely fast and powerful, Good display, Good camera
Modular design needs more thought, Battery life needs to be better
The LG G5 may be the most innovative smartphone of 2016, but it isn't the best. The modular design needs more thought, and the battery life should have been better. It is amongst the fastest phones in the market, though, and has a great camera. It isn't a...
Abstract: Cameras are just about the only thing in a smartphone that gets a meaningful upgrade each year and we keep a close eye on that. HTC was late to the Galaxy S7 vs. LG G5 party, though, so let's have a do-over!We've prepared a detailed text article complete...

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...
Interesting design and innovative modular system, Great 16MP shooter with wide dynamic range and plenty of detail, Snappy user interface, Audio quality is excellent
The display color accuracy could be better, Average battery life, The 12MP stills has somewhat average ammount of detail, No water proofing, No wireless charging
While there are more attractive flagships than the LG G5 out there, we were impressed with the excellent build and handling. There's an excellent screen, an amazing camera, and a feature-rich software package. The battery life is acceptable even if averag...
