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.

I really respect LG for trying something new with the G5. The wide angle camera is great and something I've really enjoyed using (despite the megapixel shortfall), but the modular design, while clever, feels unfinished.
Pros:
  • Unique design
  • Great screen
  • Wide angle camera
Cons:
  • Modular design is lacking
  • Metal feels like plastic
  • Could be cheaper

LG's choice to build a modular flagship smartphone is so brave it borders on nutty -- too bad the phone doesn't live up to its potential. It's a powerful smartphone with an inspired approach to photography, but it feels like LG made too many compromises to make the G5 work with its swappable...
Pros:
  • Great performance
  • Dual-camera setup is fun
  • fascinating
  • Modular design has potential
Cons:
  • The first add-on accessories aren't great
  • Fit and finish doesn't impress
  • Middling battery life

In my opinion, I see LG G5 phone as a mobile technology that are user friendly. It has good features that can keep customers coming back. The long lasting battery and clear voice modulation is what make it stand out from the crowd.
Pros:
  • affordable
  • light in weight
Cons:
  • takes longer time to charge

LG G5 review: The first step to a modular phone?

The LG G5 is LG's newest flagship with a metal build and a design that's different from previous LG flagship devices. The phone comes with two rear facing cameras, a modular design for adding additional attachments such as changing out batteries or using a modular camera.
Pros:
  • Design is nice
  • battery life can get through a day
  • photos turned out great
Cons:
  • Price
  • speaker quality isn't the best
  • display was a hit and miss some days

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?
Pros:
  • Great Performance Good Camera Modular options
Cons:
  • 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.

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?
