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

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: 이번 리뷰는 LG G시리즈의 최신작 LG G5 (이하 G5)의 배터리 성능 부분입니다. 최근 밝기 저하 문제로 포스팅한 바 있는 LG G5 밝기 저하 이슈 테스트 결과(링크)를 반영한 결과로... U+버전은 이미 디스플레이 관련 패치가 있었지만 필자가 보유한 KT버전은 현 시간(2016.4.11)까지 패치 관련 소식이 없습니다. (KT 버전이 업데이트된 이후 디스플레이 리뷰가 진행될 예정이며 이 때 최대밝기에서의 배터리 역시 추가로 테스트 해보도록
Abstract: 간단하게 개봉기를 먼저 보여드린 LG G5를 이제 좀 자세히 들여다 볼까 합니다.세계최초의 모듈타입 스마트폰 G5 올해 mwc에서 가장 이슈가 되었던 제품이기도 합니다. 풀메탈 바디 듀얼카메라 하단의 모듈결합이 외형상 가장 눈에 띄는 부분이 아닐까 생각합니다. 우선 사진으로 디자인을 한번 보죠.후면을 보면 광각과 일반 화각을 가지고 있는 듀얼카메라가 있습니다. 각각 70도 135도의 화각을 가지고 있습니다.지문인식센서가 카메라 밑에 있으며 전워 버튼의...
Abstract: LG G5가 출시된지 일주일이 지났습니다. 여러 커뮤니티들에서 "LG G5에 대한 밝기 문제"로 논쟁이 있었으며 실사용자 및 체험자들 사이에서 여전히 해당 문제는 해결되지 않고 있습니다. 플레이웨어즈의 테스트 환경이 모든 사용환경을 대변할 수는 없으나 디스플레이 전문장비를 보유하고 있기에 테스트 내용이 G5 구매자 및 예비 구매자분들에게 도움이 되었으면 하는 바람으로 리뷰를 진행하게 되었습니다. 본래 예정대로라면 배터리 테스트가 진행중이겠으나(사실...

G5 무약정 구매 가격은 통신사마다 다르다. 미국에서는 최고급 모델을 기준으로 한 대략적인 가격이 AT&T와 T-모바일 버라이즌 스프린트 각각 689달러 630달러 624달러 576달러다.탑재한 기능과 경쟁 제품과의 비교만으로 스마트폰을 리뷰한다면 LG G5는 최고의 스마트폰 범주에 포함될 수 있다. 적절한 프로세서 혁신적인 카메라 소프트웨어 독창적인 배터리를 자랑하기 때문이다. 이 중 하나라도 ‘너무나 끌리는 기능'이라면 G5는 좋은...
Abstract: 차별화로 승부한다! LG G5 살펴보기LG전자에게 있어 2015년은 스마트폰 시장에서 암흑기나 다름이 없었던 한해가 아니었나 생각됩니다.작년 G플렉스2와 G4의 연이은 실패와 중국 스마트폰 제조사의 글로벌 및 국내 스마트폰 시장의 약진 등은 어떻게 보면 LG전자에게 약이 된게 아닐까 생각됩니다.2016년 LG전자의 선택은 바로 세계 최초 모듈 디자인입니다. LG전자의 G5는 하단 부분을 서랍처럼 분리하고 카메라/오디오 등 주변기기를 바꿔가며 장착해 사...
Abstract: 세계 최초의 모듈타입 스마트폰 G5에 대해 몇 가지 궁금증을 풀어보죠. 최초라 많은 관심과 함께 G5뿐 아니라 프렌즈들까지 함께 출현해 처음 접하는 이 방식에 대해 관심 있으신 분들은 궁금증이 많이 생겼을거라 생각합니다.배터리 모듈의 분리.측면의 버튼을 누르고 살짝 힘을 주고 하단을 당기면 저렇게 모듈이 배터리와 함께 쓱 하고 빠집니다.단 배터리가 빠지면서 전원은 꺼집니다. 전원이 꺼지지 않는다는 이야기가 돌던데 배터리가 빠지면 전원은 분명히 꺼집니다...
Abstract: LG전자의 새 전략 스마트폰 ‘LG G5'가 초반 기세가 만만치 않다. 첫 날 1만5천대가 팔려나간데 이어 주말 동안 일부 판매점에서 품절 현상을 빚기도 했다. 초기 물량이 많지 않은 탓도 있지만 확실히 전작 대비 반응이 좋다는 분석이다.역대 G시리즈 중 최고 히트작이었던 G3의 성적을 넘어설 수 있을지 업계의 관심이 집중된다. 세계 최초 모듈 방식에 대한 소비자 관심도 뜨겁다.4일 업계에 따르면 지난달 31일 국내에 출시된 G5는 출시 첫날에만...
Abstract: 지난 MWC에 발표한 스마트폰중 가장 주목을 받았던 세계 최초의 모듈타입 스마트폰 LG G5 개봉기 입니다. 컬러는 골드 컬러이며 이 포스팅은 간단하게 G5에 대해 잠깐 보고 지나가는 포스팅 입니다.패키지 포장도 개성이 있어서 개봉기를 안할려니 좀 섭섭한 느낌이 들어서 본 리뷰를 진행하기 전에 우선 간단하게 개봉기를 포스팅 합니다.모듈타입의 스마트폰을 의미하는 패키지포장 입니다. 박스를 쓱 당기면 저렇게 배터리가 분리되는 이미지가 보이는데 G5의 모듈타...
Abstract: 직접 잠깐 만져보긴 했지만 이제는 직접 손에 들고 사용을 해보네요. 몇가지 특징들을 아래에서 알아볼 것입니다. LG G5 유플러스 출고가는 정해졌는데요. 83만 6천원으로 나왔고 여러가지 요금제로 구매가 가능하게 되어있습니다. LG G5 유플러스 출고가 외에 H클럽이라는 것도 생겼네요. 이것도 아래에서 살펴볼 것입니다. 이 제품의 큰 특징은 여러가지 악세서리와 함께 사용할 수 있는것인데요. 배터리를 갈아끼우는 것 부터가 좀 남다르게 되어있긴 하죠. 아래...
Abstract: 3월 31일로 LG G5 출시일이 정해졌습니다. 이 날 클럽 옥타곤에서 재미난 행사도 있다고 하는데 저는 참석이 어려울 것 같아서 LG G5를 다른 곳에서 조금 일찍 만나보고 왔습니다. 신사역 가로수길은 물론 kt 올레샵에 LG G5 체험존이 설치되어 있어서 다녀왔습니다. 출시일이 얼마남지 않았지만 궁금해서 다녀왔습니다. 실제로 만나본 LG G5를 정리해보고 kt에서 LG G5를 구매하면 좋은 이유도 살짝 알아보도록 하겠습니다.제가 찾아간 곳은 집에서...
