The editors liked

  • 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

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

  • 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 a most unusual phone - too bad you wouldn't know it at the very first glance. We've been sort of circumspect over the course of this review, but it's time to put it bluntly. The LG G5 may as well turn out to be the flagship with the least exc...

  • So far, the Mi 5 seems to be beaten down by the other two because it lacks a lot of cool stuff. But it's still not a bad device. Besides, if you know Xiaomi's reputation of having affordable phones, that's where the Mi 5 finally shines. In Chinese currenc...

  • modular disenyo, mahusay na kamera, magandang screen, maaaring palitan baterya, puwang ng microSD card, USB-C
  • bahagyang mas mababa sa premium build, buhay ng baterya hindi ang pinakamahusay na, fingerprint scanner hindi pa kasing ganda ng ilang
  • Ang LG G5 ay isang kawili-wiling eksperimento. Its modular slot sa ibaba ng telepono humahawak potensyal na, ngunit pinaghihinalaan ko ito ay hindi kailanman napuno. Ito ay hindi payagan ang mga gumagamit upang palitan ang baterya habang nagbibigay pa rin...
