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.

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 (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.

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
Coming from its Best Mobile Device award at MWC16, the LG G5 has now landed on local shores. There's much talk about its ability to pair up with its ‘Friends', but forget the modular design, the biggest plus of the G5 is its wide-angle lens.
Pros:
- Awesome wide-angle lens
- strong processor and specs
- great screen
- LTE
- modular abilities
Cons:
- Problem with silver finishing coming off on edges
- battery life not good

This, phone is amazing. I have had this phone for almost 3 weeks now and can definitely say it is fast (thanks to the Qualcomm 820 SOC and 4GB RAM), comfortable to use even with one hand and the camera is awesome, I dare say better than my wife's G4, even though they are supposed to be the same...

LG G5 review: the most interesting smartphone you can buy
I like the LG G5 a lot, it's a real joy to use. Not because it's a perfect smartphone, but because it's innovative. If you want a 'stand out' smartphone to make a geeky statement, the G5 is it. The modular design is interesting, and the ability to swap the battery is key for some.
Pros:
- Genuinely innovative
- Great camera
- Removable battery
Cons:
- Accessories are a gimmick
- Build doesn't match rivals
