  • 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

  • Prev3 of 3Next
  • Blah design
  • Bottom firing speaker is easily blocked by hand
  • Not a very durable battery

  • Inaccurate fingerprint sensor
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Subpar fit and finish

  • Modular "Friends" accessories aren't very good
  • Dated look

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

  • Mulighed for nye funktioner samt udskiftning af batteri via moduldesign. Høj ydelse. To kameralinser, hvoraf den ene har vidvinkel
  • For lidt tilbehør, der udnytter moduldesignet. Lidt kedelig og lyssvag skærm samt mudret lyd. Fås kun med 32 gigabyte indbygget lager
  • Den modulære opbygning og ideen med tilføjelsesprodukter er god, men kun to af slagsen er simpelthen ikke nok. I det hele taget mangler LG sans for detaljer. Man har ændret på brugerfladen, og man har ændret på designet, men ingen af delene rammer plet...

  • Fedt, velfungerende kamera med to forskellige funktioner, Flot skærm, God batterilevetid, Stabil ydeevne med lynhurtige animationer
  • Det modulære design tenderer til at være en gimmick, Samlekvaliteten er ikke helt på niveau med Samsung S7 eller HTC 10
  • Smartphonemarkedet er ved at være mættet, og det er svært for smartphoneproducenterne at blive ved med at opfinde en dybere tallerken.LG G5 har den samme processor som HTC 10, den amerikanske version af Samsung S7 og OnePLus 3, og derfor er der næsten ing...

  • LG G5 er en lækker og hurtig telefon, men den får os ikke helt op og ringe, fordi den bare ikke føles lige så lækker som sine konkurrenter. Og det undrer mig at man ikke bruger mere tid på designet. Det kunne jo have været lækkert med en flagskibsmodel me...

  • Flot skærm, Hurtig brugerflade, Godt kamera,  
  • Batteriet kunne være bedre, Prisen, Mangler mere tilbehør til det modulære design
  • og kvalitet i forhold til pris LG G5 står i en pris hos teleselskaberne, hvor den faktisk er en tand skarpere end Galaxy S7 – men lidt dyrere end for eksempel Sony Xperia Z5. LG G5 imponerer på mange punkter, men jeg savner et batteri, der er et nøk st...

  • Mulighed for tilføjelse af nye funktioner samt udskiftning af batteri via modul-design. Høj ydelse og lynhurtig i daglig brug. To kameralinser, hvoraf én har vidvinkel
  • For få tilbehørs-produkter, der drager nytte af moduldesign. Lidt kedelig og lyssvag skærm, og mudret lyd. Fås kun med 32 gigabyte indbygget lager og drager ikke nytte af adoptable storage
  • LG G5 er en god mobiltelefon. Ligesom tidligere topmodeller fra den lidt mindre koreanske elektronikgigant. Den modulære opbygning og idéen med tilføjelsesprodukter er god, men kun to af slagsen er simpelthen ikke nok. I det hele taget mangler LG sans f...

  • Abstract:  Jeden z najbardziej zauważalnych trendów na rynku smartfonów to stosowanie przez producentów podwójnych aparatów. Niektórzy biorą to jedynie za chwyt marketingowy, ale testy tak wyposażonych modeli potwierdzają, że omawiane rozwiązanie może dawać wymierne...

  • Abstract:  Wielu może mieć różne zarzuty wobec prezentacji LG G5, ale osobiście myślę, że to całkiem ładny telefon. Nie, nie jest to żadna rewolucja wizualna pokroju Galaxy S6. „GiePiątka” to głównie stonowana, aluminiowa bryła, która z przodu zachowuje silny, szkla...
