  • 800 mAh battery)
  • Dim display with unnatural colors and whites
  • Inconsistent daylight visibility
  • LG still lags behind on software design
  • Whatever LG wants to call this finish
  • It still feels like plastic
  • Fit and finish isn't up to similarly priced phones
  • Not water resistant
  • Screen technology not as good as others in its class
  • Battery life Mediocre at best. I get maybe a bit over 4 hours screen on with most of my time sitting at home on WiFi only. Around or under three hours
  • Definitely
  • If I'm out and about on mobile data. So
  • A lot like a typical phone from 2015 running Marsh
  • LG's UX 5.0 is as convoluted as ever
  • Carrier-exclusive band support rather than an International phone
  • Camera software is confusing
  • Photo quality is mediocre at best most of the time
  • Hi-Fi DAC from the V10 was obviously removed to sell the new Hi-Fi m
  • The bottom release mechanism just isn't good enough. It holds the bottom part on unevenly
  • And on one side is so loose you can see through it
  • LG carved an awful groove around the back of the phone
  • And the edges are pretty sharp
  • A microSD card
  • Great

  • Lacks a semi-passive mode
  • Rather low PF readings (with 230V i
  • The modular slot is a complete dud

  • Un gran sucesor del G4, Exento de bloatware, Buena pantalla, Cámara con muchas posibilidades, Expansión modular, Batería extraíble

  • LG sale, a priori, victorioso con este experimento. El G5 nos trae, por fin, un diseño espectacular de la coreana y también, posiblemente, su mejor cámara (ya de por sí la del G4 no tenía rival). Además, ha innovado con el Magic Slot y tomado un riesgo qu...

  • Mode manuel, Interface de prise de vues claire, complète et efficace, Stabilisation optique, Module photo très grand-angle, Support du format RAW, Bonne gestion de la balance des blancs et des couleurs, Réactivité des modules photo
  • Rapide dégradation de l'image lors de la montée en sensibilité (perte de piqué, apparition de bruit numérique, etc.), Qualité du module grand-angle en retrait, Température de couleur de l'écran trop élevée (dominance légèrement bleutée)
  • Après avoir été dans un premier temps sceptiques quant à l'association d'un module photo très grand-angle à un module grand-angle plus classique, force est d'avouer que nous avons été agréablement surpris. Alors que la plupart des smartphone s'équipent d'...
