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
Image 1 of 18 LG’s flirtation with modular design didn’t last long. The LG G6 is out in the wild, as is the LG V30 , and both dispense with the LG G5’s modular design. If you want to get hold of an LG G5 now, you’ll need to do so from a third party as a SIM free offering.

This is the phone to get if you want a removable battery, but it fails to live up to its world-changing Swiss Army Knife potential.- The LG G5's unique modular design lets you swap in fun accessories
- It has (two!) great rear cameras, expandable storage and a replaceable battery -- a rarity in high-end phones
- Although you can swap out some parts, there aren't enough to make this feature compelling
- You can only access the phone's app drawer in a specialized theme
LG G5 review
The scale of the LG G5’s ambition is breathtaking. It’s the first of a new kind of smartphone and – if the modular concept works – you can expect Apple, Samsung and the rest to spend the next couple of years scrambling to catch up with this handset. Still, we’re not in the business of giving points for potential, and of the two modules we've so far tested only one - the relatively niche Hi-Fi Plus - is worth investigating. We're hoping that more will follow, and that third-party manufacturers will get in on the act too, but until that happens the G5 needs to be able to stand on its own merits. Fortunately, it does: if you walk into a phone shop and nab yourself a G5, then you'll have a fabulous handset that's better than most of what's available out there. It doesn't leave the competition eating its dust, but that says more about how great smartphones are right now than this LG. A supreme screen, lightning-fast processor and novel camera are no longer enough to make any mobile the best by far. To spearhead the mobile vanguard, you have to either be a near-on perfect product such as the Galaxy S7 or offer something new entirely. So the LG G5 has gone for the latter option, while still being an awesome phone to begin with. It’s a big, ballsy move, and one that we hope pays off in the long run. Technology is meant to inspire you and the G5 does that in spades. Buy the LG G5 here SIM Free or on contract here- Immense screen
- Clever wide-angle camera
- Durable battery life
- No waterproofing

This, phone is amazing. I have had this phone for almost 3 weeks now and can definitely say it is fast (thanks to the Qualcomm 820 SOC and 4GB RAM), comfortable to use even with one hand and the camera is awesome, I dare say better than my wife's G4, even though they are supposed to be the same...
Great phone
Great phone love the finger print security option.

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.
its awesome smartphone
I think lg is known as the best camera smartphone manufacturer in the world. Every thing is good in lg g5 . Something I expected with lg g5 such as dual screen mode and battery should be above from previous version lg g4 , but which is not in the lg g5 . OK OVERALL IS GOOD.
Average
The bluetooth is horrible when you connect it to wireless speakers or the car. The sound will intermittently cut out and will sound like it is losing connection. The network is horrible as well, compared side by side with the Samsung devices, this one had 1 bar vs 4 bars with Samsung.
