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.

New LG G5 Dual SIM 16MP 32GB Smartphone Pink review
With so many smartphones to choose from, it’s difficult for any one device to stand out. This is especially true for flagships that come packed with the best hardware and nearly every feature available.

LG's G-series phones have always been a bit hit-or-miss, and last year's ( ) fell short in some departments, particularly when it came to battery life and software. The laser autofocus wasn't quite as intuitive as we had expected either.

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?

LG hit a home run with the G2 which dropped the Optimus branding from its name but in turn received commercial and critical success. Up until then, LG had almost always been in Samsung's shadow since their Galaxy S lineup of devices especially had been better offerings and even the Optimus Vu lineup...
Pros:
- Great Camera
- Good Display
- Fast and Responsive Fingerprint Sensor
- Good Audio Quality
- Removable Battery and Add on Modules
- Great Call Quality over Earpiece and Loudspeaker
Cons:
- Poor Battery Life
- Design Lacks Premium Feel and Refinement
- Pricey Modules

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
