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.

Now, more than ever, manufacturers are exploring alternative ways to differentiate smartphones. One savior to the oversaturated smartphone market, that is rife with products with similar specifications, may come in the form of modularity.
LG G5 review: the modulator
All signs point towards change at LG. After years of unique designs and smaller experiments, like the LG G4's curved display, the South Korean company has now manufactured a modular smartphone. Whether this concept can convince you to buy one, you'll discover in this LG G5 review.- Better feel compared to the G4
- Freed from bloatware
- Good display
- Camera system supports creativity
- Modular expandability
- Removable battery
- Imperfect design
- Future of modules is uncertain
- Photo quality leaves much to be desired
- Workmanship of our test model
- Always-on unusable in direct sunlight
Average
The bluetooth is horrible when you connect it to wireless speakers or the car. The sound will intermittently cut out and will sound like it is losing connection. The network is horrible as well, compared side by side with the Samsung devices, this one had 1 bar vs 4 bars with Samsung.
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
- Poor Battery Life
- Design Lacks Premium Feel and Refinement
- Pricey Modules

I think lg is known as the best camera smartphone manufacturer in the world. Every thing is good in lg g5 . Something I expected with lg g5 such as dual screen mode and battery should be above from previous version lg g4 , but which is not in the lg g5 . OK OVERALL IS GOOD.
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?
It is being considered revolutionary by many tech pundits because of its ‘modular' design, but does the LG G5 have what it takes to go against its Android flagship rivals?
- Great Performance Good Camera Modular options
- Not the best Design Complex UI Expensive
FAST
Had the G5 for more than a month now and it's SuPeR FAST! Flies thu emails faster than my PC. Beautiful bright screen, super fast charging and decent battery life makes this phone the best out there. Having a replaceable battery is another great feature.
