  • Average battery life (smaller 2
  • 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

  • Having the fingerprint scanner on the back can be inconvenient
  • Prev3 of 3Next
  • Blah design
  • Bottom firing speaker is easily blocked by hand
  • Not a very durable battery
  • We expected better image quality from the main camera

  • Clumsy process to swap modules
  • Inaccurate fingerprint sensor
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Subpar fit and finish

  • Modular "Friends" accessories aren't very good
  • Dated look
  • Poor display brightness
  • Large display rim

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

  • Fotocamera molto buona, grip eccellente, usabilità scalabile
  • Autonomia scarsa, sistema operativo da rivedere, moduli costosi
  • In definitiva, LG G5 potrebbe essere molto di più, ma per ora non è all'altezza dei suoi concorrenti, nemmeno con i suoi moduli (forse perché acquistabili a parte). Le caratteristiche sono da primo nella categoria e i moduli sono una interessante innovazi...

  • design innovativo, USB-C, Quick Charge 3.0, fotocamera eccellente, sensore d'impronte digitali molto veloce, batteria rimovibile, microSD, moduli aggiuntivi. 
  • la sezione modulare non è realizzata a regola d'arte,  la luminosità automatica è troppo aggressiva. 
  • Il nuovo LG G5 è uno smartphone tutto nuovo, rappresenta un cambio di design per LG e un nuovo approccio agli smartphone, grazie a una sezione modulare che permette di collegare vari accessori. L'unico dubbio riguarda il futuro, sarà in grado LG di mante...

  • Comparto fotocamere, Always-On, Batteria intercambiabile, Ricarica rapida, Smart Lock
  • Luminosità automatica display imprecisa, Pochi moduli, Impossibile scegliere la home, Speaker si ostruisce nel gaming landscape
  • G5 riesce bene in tutti i comparti, con il grande vantaggio dei 'Friends' che ne amplieranno le possibilità. Seppur questa è la nostra recensione, ho omesso la parola 'completa' dal titolo, sarà tale non appena avremo provato approfonditamente anche i...

  • Difficile parlare dei prezzi degli LG. Al lancio 699 euro. Chi compra entro il 30 aprile avrà il modulo cam plus in regalo. Dopo la fine di Flex 2, ora a 199 euro ma lanciato a 699 euro, o G4, ora a 270 euro, mi chiedo perchè prendere un LG G5 ora. Ok, è...
