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

How, then, do we wrap up LG's G5? First and foremost, I was worried. I had used the G5 in Barcelona back in February, and loved it on first glance. Then, I had read a number of reviews by overseas reviewers which weren't exactly glowing.

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.

LG G5 Review
Announced last February in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress, the LG G5 made headlines by being the world's first modular smartphone. Aside from its flagship specs like the 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum Display, Snapdragon 820 CPU, 4GB RAM, and 16MP camera, it can accommodate modules such as...
Pros:
- * Impressive performance
- * Great display quality
- * Interesting camera setup
- * Modular design
Cons:
- * Un-inspiring design
- * Low battery capacity compared to other flagships
- * Additional modules are expensive

LG G5 review in-depth
Alongside the Galaxy S7 , the LG G5 is one of the biggest phones (not literally) to launch in 2016 – and we're not just talking in the Android world. It's one of the heavyweights and LG will be looking to set the market alight with the G5's alternative and innovative modular design.

Two in one: LG G5 camera review
The LG G5's built-in super wide angle lens and the optional camera grip with a variety of controls earn it some extra points and make it a unique proposition for mobile photographers. Its pixel-level image quality is not among the very best, but exposure and color are good down to very low light levels. The G5's only major drawback is its video mode. It offers very little control over capture and low light footage shows little detail and high noise levels. If that is something you can live with, the LG G5 is an easy recommendation for any mobile photographer.
Pros:
- Mobile still photographers value good control over the image capture process.
Cons:
- Those who are more interested in video capture, or class leading pixel-level still image detail

New LG G5 Dual SIM 16MP 32GB Smartphone Pink review
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…

A phone with a difference: LG's G5 reviewed
LG's quest for the ultimate flagship phone has been all about constant evolution, and for its 2016 attempt, we're seeing the best one yet. Is it enough to unseat Samsung and Apple?
Pros:
- Design is nice
- A typically lovely screen from LG
- though one that isn't OLED
- Two cameras
- the first of which is pretty good
- Blazingly fast 4G speeds
- Gesture keyboard is very good in this generation
- Replaceable battery
- "Friends" accessories bring more functionality to a phone
- even if they are...
Cons:
- Edge is sharper than you expect
- Android feels more like iOS
- and that may not appeal to all people
- No water-proofing
- Battery life isn't on par with other 2016 flagships
- "Friends" accessories aren't necessarily cheap and don't come with the phone
- Changing one of the accessories means switching...
