LG G5 H850
LG G5 is built around a modular concept. There are currently two modules available that extend the functionality of the phone. The camera module slides onto the phone and transforms the phone into a camera including buttons and a camera grip. The audio module has been developed in co-operation with Bang & Olufsen (B&O).
LG decided to ditch the modular design for the successor LG G6 due to limited interest among consumers.

New LG G5 Dual SIM 16MP 32GB Smartphone Pink review
The LG G5 is a unique smartphone, bringing a modular design and three cameras to the table, but there are too many flaws to call this a winning combination. LG isn’t afraid to try new things: from buttons on the back to two screens with the LG V10. The G5 could have been LG’s best smartphone […]

LG G5 review (part 2)
I've been using the LG G5 for almost a month now and posted my first impressions two weeks ago. As far as looks and feel, I still don't think that the G5 lives up to the same standard as LG's previous flagship smartphones like the LG G4 and the LG V10 .
Pros:
- Wide angle lens takes great wide shots
- Replaceable battery
- micro SD card slot
Cons:
- Blah design
- Bottom firing speaker is easily blocked by hand

The LG G5 is never going to win prizes for good looks, but it excels in quirky innovation with a modular design and dual rear-facing cameras.

Pros:
- * Impressive performance
- * Great display quality

The LG G5 stands out from this year's batch of smartphone upgrades in giving us something genuinely new to talk about. Its modular approach, letting you clip in spare batteries and camera packs and speakers, brings a touch of innovation to a market that seems to be leveling out (at least in terms…

New LG G5 Dual SIM 16MP 32GB Smartphone Pink review
With so many smartphones to choose from, it’s difficult for any one device to stand out. This is especially true for flagships that come packed with the best hardware and nearly every feature available.

LG's G-series phones have always been a bit hit-or-miss, and last year's ( ) 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.

New LG G5 Dual SIM 16MP 32GB Smartphone Pink review
The LG G5 is an enigma. Do you decide that you want to go with a device that’s tried and true, only updating in iterations? Or do you want to go with a device that’s made by a company that wants to try something relatively new, and maybe even a bit risky on their part?

LG hit a home run with the G2 which dropped the Optimus branding from its name but in turn received commercial and critical success. Up until then, LG had almost always been in Samsung's shadow since their Galaxy S lineup of devices especially had been better offerings and even the Optimus Vu lineup...

- 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
