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.

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: A Bold Bet on the Future of Phones
I love that LG is trying to change things up with the G5's modularity, but overall the feature feels rushed. When unveiling the phone in February, LG touted a Hi-Fi module that was supposed to improve the phone's audio output, but the accessory in question has since disappeared from LG's website and...
Pros:
- Cool modular design
- Great wide-angle camera
- Solid performance
Cons:
- Bland look
- Below-average battery life
- Heavy-handed software interface

LG G5
The G5 comes with a heavily skinned version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow . In addition to its own icons and a modified settings menu, LG has gone a step further and removed the app drawer, so all your apps are spread across the home screens, iOS-style.
Pros:
- Speedy processor
- Wide-angle camera mode and manual controls
- Removable battery
- Unique accessories
Cons:
- Heavy software customization with some key Android features disabled
- Considerable carrier bloatware

Featured Review: LG G5
I went into this experience with high hopes and with fantastic first impressions. LG's presentation on all fronts is flashy, fluid and attractive to say the least. They've built this one up as something to break new ground, and in many ways, they've definitely done that here.
Pros:
- Fantastic new design
- Modular build brings lots of possibilities
- Great display
- Battery life is phenomenal
- APT-X HD for 24-bit Bluetooth audio
- Snapdragon 820 is ultra fast
- Video is among the best on the market
- Wide-angle lens makes for some really interesting shots and video
Cons:
- LG's UX 5.0 is as convoluted as ever
- Carrier-exclusive band support rather than an International phone
- Camera software is confusing
- Photo quality is mediocre at best most of the time

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

LG G5 review: An imperfect start to LG's modular future
Cool ideas that don't pan out So there's a lot to unpack when it comes to the G5 and a number of questions that still need answering. Will more "Friends" accessories be announced, and are third-party manufacturers even interested in releasing accessories for the phone?
Pros:
- Camera is impressive
- especially secondary wide-angle shooter
- Metallic body is a welcome shift for LG
- Always-on display is customizable
- Modular port could evolve into something great
Cons:
- Design looks "unfinished
- Strange software quirks
- Build quality and value of Cam Plus is questionable
- Unclear how many modular accessories will be released
