LG G5 Review

Life's good when you play, LG says, and we can't, in good conscience, disagree. But when it comes to designing smartphones, playfulness is but an extra. Join us as we lift the lid and dig deep into the LG G5 in this video review.

Your conclusion was extremely subjective. You can't place your finger because you expect it to be the same as the competition. A phone doesn't have to be an Apple or Samsung to be likeable.

[DecryptSameer]

I can't understand a single word this person says.

I really liked the intro, definitely grabbed my attention!

This is the best G5 review I've yet seen online - certainly the most objective and focused. Kudos!

Wow, phone arena actually had a positive review about an LG phone? Man that's surprising. I was expecting them to nitpick the phone to death. Good review. Also glad to hear that audio quality has been improved over the already loud G4.

it doesn't take a big jump from the LG g4 but just like all flagship phones do they make small incremental changes. I just bought the g5 yesterday and certainly enjoying it. :)

Thumbs up for this vid. The painted surface is a concern and the construction of this phone from what I can tell as well. Nice clean UI, but it needs the app draw. Hope LG is listening.

It just occurred me... imagine the LG G5 came out with TEN "friends"? Think about how absurdly popular this phone would've been with such a huge starting variety of accessories that alter and improve/customise your precious phone.

It have a app drawn. You can find it and activate it in the Settings

Why did I get an LG G5 and not a Samsung Galaxy? #1 - Samsung software on the phone. Can't stand dealing with the changes they make to Android. #2 - I can carry a spare battery with the G5.
What I miss from my Nexus 5? Wireless charging.

As a G4 owner, I seriously doubt I am missing out on much. But will the G4 be updated to the G5's 4.0 UX?

Overall: S7/s7 edge>g5. It is what it is. Keep it real. Kudos to lg, next time try harder.

I really like my lg g5 no other phone offers all its features and style. I would not want any other phone

[Angel_Peg]

What i like the most is how fluid the phone is

[crushingheart]

Sorry but I don't hear clearly what you said, is that English language?

[bryangomez]

I'm definitely getting the G5 tomorrow. I kinda wish Canada would release earlier like the US.

[logical]

Im happy with my g5. When i am able to get the hi res audio add on the phone will be almost perfect for me. only thing i miss is the side by side app functionality

[lockergr]

I had decided upon this phone because of its ability to play HiFi audio and also because it has a removable battery. If the quality difference is not evident during streaming audio, I use Spotify and download any everything in the highest quality, maybe I need to just consider another phone. From what I have read the HiFi audio made a big difference in terms of the sound. does anyone have any experience with this?

[fabricedesouza]

It's funny how every review about this phone don't give the price of those modules.. the hi-fi plus especially.. +phonarena??

[lcfcaldas]

I've been interested on this smartphone, but I'm disappointed with LG's decision to bring the Snapdragon 652 and 3 GB Ram variant to Latin America. So now...s7.
