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.

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.

LG G5
The LG G5 may be the most innovative smartphone of 2016, but it isn't the best. The modular design needs more thought, and the battery life should have been better. It is amongst the fastest phones in the market, though, and has a great camera.
Pros:
- Extremely fast and powerful
- Good display
- Good camera
Cons:
- Modular design needs more thought
- Battery life needs to be better

LG G5 Smartphone Review
LG has been really creative this year to get the attention of customers and we think the Korean company offers a successful overall package. The combination of a good display, proven camera and decent battery runtimes is a solid foundation.
Pros:
- bright and high-contrast display
- Always-On display
- comprehensive security features
- good cameras
- great voice quality with good noise suppression
- modular slot
- fast storage
- expandable storage
- very fast SoC
Cons:
- only USB 2.0, no App2SD, preloaded forced apps, only LTE Cat
- 6, low resolution of the wide-angle lens, ambient light sensor sets the luminance too low, throttling under heavy workloads

LG G5 in-depth review - G-force
Not very, is the answer. If you have seen the YouTube video where a blogger peeled off the blink-and-you-miss-it metal foil over the resoundingly plastic body of the G5, you will know what I mean.
Pros:
- Modular design
- accessories available
- fantastic camera
- always-on display
Cons:
- Build quality iffy
- accessories pricey
- modular concept needs to be fleshed out

Even if you have no interest in LG's modular functionality (which is yet to prove itself worthwhile), the G5 is still well worth considering as your next full-time smartphone. The dual camera setup is brilliant, offering impressive flexibility, while performance is up there with the best.
Pros:
- Intriguing expandability
- Flexible camera tech
- Solid performance
- Removable battery

Time-saver edition
The LG G5 is a product of bold and fresh ideas. It has the looks of a brand new flagship, the heart of a dragon and an adventurous dual camera setup suited for every occasion. But there's more than what meets the eye, the Magic Slot.

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.
