The editors didn't like
- My main sticking point with the LG G5 is its battery life. Having used the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
- The G5 just can't compete and that's a real shame
- It all too often found itself running low as I left work
- And dying completely shortly after getting home
- Not metal all over
- Modular design is a blessing and a curse
- So-so battery life
- Not great battery life
- Design looks plasticky
- Modules impact design and we can't seem them catching on
- Fingerprint scanner small and less receptive than some competitors
- 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
- Accessories are a gimmick
- Build doesn't match rivals
- Slightly less than premium build
- Battery life not the best
- Fingerprint scanner not quite as good as some
- Dull design
- Sure to be expensive
- Battery could be bigger
- Uninspiring look
- No more app drawer
- Always
- On screen is a battery drain
- Build quality iffy
- Accessories pricey
- Modular concept needs to be fleshed out
- Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present
- Switching Modules Is Clunky
- Lackadaisical sound without Hi-Fi Plus module
- Soso screen brightness
- Modular expansion may not pan out
- Dodgy build quality
- Software is on the ugly side
- Expensive modules
- Future potential has yet to be realized
- Battery life is weak
- Modules are hard to connect
- The rear of the smartphone doesn't have the same premium feel as some smartphones
- Only available in one relatively small amount of storage capacity

- The LG G5 is one of the most interesting smartphones I've seen since the days of the LG Optimus 3D, and for that, I find myself predisposed to liking it. The trouble with the G5 is that, although ingenious, I'm not convinced it's enough to get consumers t...

- Excellent Camera, Great Design, Modular Aspect Has Potential, Excellent Performance, Great Battery Life, All Metal Design With Zero Antenna Bands
- Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present, Switching Modules Is Clunky
- A lot of people seem non-plussed by the G5; some even claim it looks boring and lacks the charm of last year's model. I 100% disagree with this sentiment — the G5 is a vastly superior device to what came before. It has enough new features, attributes and...

- The LG G5 has a plain look, side-mounted volume buttons, a fingerprint sensor and a 5.3-inch display, making it like the metal version of the Nexus 5X with an extra tenth of an inch. That's okay, because LG also built the Nexus 5X and it was a great phone...

Abstract: A fascinating high-end smartphone in its own right, it's the inclusion of LG's Friends feature that elevates the G5 to the realms of true excellence. The innovative modular design makes the phone look, act and feel different according to your specific nee...

- Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present, Switching Modules Is Clunky
- The moment I saw the LG G5 at MWC 2016 I knew it was something special. And not just because of its modular aspect, although that was certainly an eye-catching feature. No, for the most part I like what LG stands for, what it's all about — pushing the bou...
