The editors didn't like
Drab UX 5.0 skin
Gimmicky LG Friends modules
No water-resistance
Modular design is loose
Only one module available in the U.S
Very rough and unfinished design
Feels rushed
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
Style doesn't screen flagship device
Battery life and performance slightly lag behind other phones at this price range
Durability concerns about the plastic bottom of the battery module
Having the fingerprint scanner on the back can be inconvenient

Blah design
Bottom firing speaker is easily blocked by hand
Not a very durable battery
We expected better image quality from the main camera
Janky dual-camera system
Clumsy process to swap modules
Inaccurate fingerprint sensor
Mediocre battery life
Subpar fit and finish
Flawed industrial design
Extremely dim always-on display
Wide-angle camera is more gimmicky than useful
Modular "Friends" accessories aren't very good
Dated look
Poor display brightness
Large display rim
Iderable carrier bloatware
Look could be better
Fit and finish uneven. LG UI does away with app drawer. Friends are interesting but lacking
Flimsy build
Modular accessories are pricey
Metal body doesn't feel premium
Battery life is average
Price
Speaker quality isn't the best
Display was a hit and miss some days
Bland look
Below-average battery life
Heavy-handed software interface
Plagued by lack of refinement
Saddled with carrier bloatware
Overshadowed by better smartphone alternatives
Extra modules don't add enough value yet
Needs more polish in manufacturing the bottom slot
Why are the chamfers so sharp?
Microdized treatment feels like plastic
Aging concerns over paint finish
The display is dimmer than average
Inconsistent battery life
Rather uncomfortable to hold due to the slippery matte back
The placement of the fingerprint scanner is not optimal
The display is overly cold and off target in color reproduction
Indoor photos are soft and occasionally with white balance issues
Alway
Although you can swap out some parts
There aren't enough to make this feature compelling. You can only access the phone's app drawer in a specialized theme
Lackluster lowlight performance
Dual window removed from software
Uninspiring design
Cannot deliver full load at over 46°C ambient (OTP kicks in)
Very low hold-up time (combined with a long power-good signal)
High inrush-current
Single EPS connector
Aggressive fan profile
Lacks a semi-passive mode
Rather low PF readings (with 230V i
The modular slot is a complete dud
Providing no compelling additional features. LG's ‘metal' body is underwhelming. Software lacks the polish a highend phone deserves. Disappointing battery life.
The first add-on accessories aren't great
Fit and finish doesn't impress
Middling battery life
Slightly processed look at pixel level
With smeared fine detail and strong sharpening
Very noticeable luminance noise in areas of plain color in bright light
Some white balance inconsistencies in mixed light situations
Occasional soft spots in images
Slight color shading visible in lowlight conditions
An occasional blue cast in outdoor pictures
Chromatic noise visible in bright light HDR exposures
Abstract: LG G5四月份就要在台灣上市，這是全球首款採用金屬+模組化設計的智慧型手機，而且還延續LG可更換電池的傳統。將機身底部的模組取下後，不僅可自行更換電池，還能搭配LG專業相機模組、Hi-Fi模組兩款「LG Friends」的配件。在上週記者會時，LG未特別說明台版是單卡或雙卡，但現在確定台灣引進4G全頻雙卡版，採三選二卡槽設計，其中一個SIM卡槽與記憶卡槽共用，這也是LG繼V10後再度引進高階的雙卡手機。 LG G5的處理器為高通Snapdragon 820，與三星Galaxy S7/S7 edge...
Abstract: 說到 LG 的旗艦級手機，多數網友的焦點可能會先放在價格跳水有多快這部分，但其實無論是 G4 還是 V10，拍照功能都是非常值得關注的部份。這點就算來到最新款的 LG G5 也不例外，雖然模組化設計很特別，但相機部分依然也是焦點所在。而這邊不僅要讓大家看看由我們 ePrice 香港站版主 Keith 所提供的 LG G5 實拍測試，同時也要請來同門的師兄 V10，一起來比較一下兩者的相機實拍效果。 另外，若你想參考一下 LG G5 的香港售價資訊，以及效能實測數據，可參考後方的文章連結： LG G5 香...
