  • 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

  • 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

  • O G5 tem ótimos recursos e está à venda no exterior por US$ 600, ou seja, ele até valeria a pena se estivesse à venda em solo brasileiro, o que não acontece. Para nós, a LG trouxe o G5 S3, uma versão menos potente, mas igualmente cara ao “G5 original”. Me...
