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.

LG G5 review\n
It's easy to get sucked into the internet vortex of hate when it comes to smartphones. Little issues tend to be magnified. I didn't have a real issue with the G5's metal body not really feeling like metal - until it became a problem and somehow grew a crack where the modules meet the phone.
Pros:
- Innovative design
- USB-C
- QC 3.0 charging
- Excellent camera and fingerprint sensor
- Removable battery and microSD expansion
- Optional modules means additional functionality
Cons:
- Modular section may be ill-fitted
- Updated software is different
- not better
- Long-term viability of "Friends" unknown
- Display is aggressively dark in auto

The LG G5 has a metal body, with a separate frame and rear shell. It has dual-camera lenses which let you capture wider images than single lens as well detailed pics with natural colors in both day and night light conditions.
Pros:
- Good screen
- Excellent cameras and performance
- Modular design
Cons:
- Average battery

Worst phone ever
I bought the phone in June, at first I thought I would just have to get used to it. But the more I use it the more I dislike it. It's slow, my pictures get deleted, it overheats for no reason, even if the screen is off and noone is touching it.

Too Faulty to be Worthwhile
I can't rate this phone overly well because I keep getting issues with it. The battery appears to die quickly now after a month, the bottom tab doesn't line up well with the main phone and looks cheap as can be, it gets very hot after being used with a bright screen, the screen can't hold dark...

I would not purchase this phone if your carrier is at&t.
It is a great phone if you only want to use it for data. Can't get signal at my home, strong enough to make calls. This phone does not have band 12 which is highly used by at&t.

LG G5 review
The LG G5's modular party pieces are yet to be fully realized, but away from that you've got a supremely solid flagship smartphone - if only the battery was a bit better.
Pros:
- Strong screen
- Super performance
- Useful wide angle camera
Cons:
- Questionable design
- No app drawer
- Battery could be better

Better priced and at least as good as its Apple equivalent
A good phone with clear mono sound. It has a clear to see screen which is quite large, but mine can be a bit temperamental when you swipe to answer a call. It has a great dual lens camera and fingerprint sensor security.

LG G5 review: An unrefined flagship blazing a new path
The LG G5 isn't the handset most people are going to pick up when they go into their local retailer or wireless carrier. Samsung has done an exceptional job of refining its offering this year to diminish previous flaws, while LG has taken extra care to eviscerate themselves temporarily with their...
