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
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...

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...
