LG G5 Unboxing: Modular is just the beginning | Pocketnow

Like that best friend you haven't seen all year, so is the UPS Guy that brings your LG G5 to the front door. The LG G5 is definitely unlike any other smartphone we've seen this year. The company not only continues its legacy of expandability, but has done so in a design unlike any other that we've seen in the smartphone world to date.

From addressing the horrible antenna lines we see everywhere else with a neat little trick we'll discuss later, to offering expandability in every dimension without compromising in design, and that dual camera at the back is something we can't wait to test. This is one review we've been really looking forward to, and it starts today.

Watch our unboxing of the LG G5, as we start preparing for more coverage to come soon.

2:05 - the sound Jaime makes when he's finally able to pee after holding it in for so long

[The_Laser_Channel]

I have an LG G3 and think its a fantastic phone....it was my first of the LG G series phones and after using it, I could easily see myself enjoying the G5...

[Kevin-Schmevin]

Can't wait! I don't expect this phone to be perfect but I'm hoping it will be great!

[ReneMartinezP]

Dang! I can't remember when I ever been more excited for a phone to come out. hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

[RugeProductions]

I'm still using my LG
and I love it ;P

[k.garcia]

excited for more videos! been waiting for Jaime's input since MWC! I hope that future modules will be compatible with the G5 over the next couple of years. Not everyone will be able to upgrade to new G series phones yearly! like me :(

The more I see the G5, the more it grows on me. Specially that grey colour. Its gorgeous. Lets see how the UI is like cause I am serious considering it.

[kyliea]

Jaime, can I say that the sound of the screen protector coming of gave me the same feeling Awesome looking phone let's hope the UI is as good.

Instead of Galaxy S7 variants unboxing, I was actually waiting for this. FINALLY!!

[adriantroff]

the slide out battery compartment should be called the g spot lol

[himandev]

"Charging Cradle" sounds so cool.

[dangoruiz]

Glad Jamie is still here. Great preview.

[antoinemonod]

Enjoy Jaime ! You got the right color, it looks much nicer than the grey variant.
(Still waiting for that hypothetic Oneplus 2 after the buzz by the way ! Probably not before a few weeks since you just got your G5).

[DecanFrost]

I like the Modular idea, it reminds me of the block phone concept.

[kirholstov]

I actually read all the documentation 0_0

[ShellymanStudios]

Another great unboxing video from Pocket now.

[trevorforde]

can't wait for your review, i want that phone so

[kylenetherwood]

I was so ready to have known this and disliked and flagged for misleading title but you actually showed a phone that I'd never heard of. Well done.

[doggod]

I want this so much, it looks perfect even if I don't necessarily like how the camera looks on the back.

[umeadi]

*Liked* for the screen protector removal action. :-)
