LG G5 After 2 Months: Does Innovation Fail?

[@Dave2D]

i feel exactly the same way about this phone. great video dude!

[@sabri4450]

[@jonaerakua1]

I just made comment here about you here and here you are lol. Are you 2 guys related or something the way you speak is waaaaay similar!

[@viccysd]

+Kevin “The Authority” Tan yea lol

[@jonaerakua1]

+sohail dhanda right!? So it's not only me hahahahaha

[@JaredBusch]

Very well said Danny. Great review!

[@dannywinget]

+Jared Busch Thanks dude!

[@MrFranchise82]

+Danny Winget question would to take the g5 over thr htc 10

[@sonny01red]

+Danny Winget What phone with removeable battery would you recommend?

[@medimeb]

+sonny01red there isn't much of a choice in the high end segment, LG seems to be the last brand that still making high end smartphones with removable battery, I can't think of another brand ?

[@endrizo]

will buy lg due to removable battery and usb3 ...and radio...and infrared tv remote...

[@AntonioCunningham]

Thanks to all the bad press the LG G5 got, I was able to get my G5 at a deal! The S7 is great phone, but because it doesn't have a removable battery, I can't buy it.

[@oscarp7581]

where did you buy it?

[@AntonioCunningham]

Swappa. I got it New for 410 dollars. I've bought multiple devices from them and never had any problems.

[@oscarp7581]

+Antonio Cunningham you ever tried using PayPal credit to buy a phone from there. Cheapest I found it was 480 but I'm scared to press buy if they don't accept paypals credit since I'm approved for 500

[@AntonioCunningham]

I used PayPal everytime with Swappa. It's one of their recommend methods of pay. It also has built in protections.

[@alexmurphy5645]

but what's the point of having a phone with a removable battery if you can't upgrade it? my s2 came with a 1800mah battery which was a pile of shit so I bought a 3800mah battery for $15 on Amazon. The only batteries available for the g5 are 2800mah.

[@El_Hamzoh]

I've got the G5 and I love it people have different taste whatever makes you happy ☺

[@soleil3gs]

+Abdul G I'm with you

[@brycetingle8358]

+Abdul G i agree with you i have this phone, yes the S7 is better but some of us like to have change and experience things outside of the "Mainstream phones" the LG gives me a full day of usage meaning emails, videos, calls, constant messaging with SMS and FB messenger also with soundcloud music, this phone isnt bad at all, its just weaker than the S7 or Iphone because theyre the main phone brands out there at the moment

[@VanJR.]

I still want one because it's now rootable

[@vonguyencattunh]

Glad you like G5, however, I like the G5 cause it is truly wreid. G5 is fail, but not a bad flagship :) . Wait, anyone here is waiting for LG V11 (or V9 idk)??

[@MorkusReX]

+Gavin Stanford it's not even 16MP vs 12MP.. it's actually 16MP vs 9.1MP because who the f wants to use 4:3 on a 16:9 screen. Once you fix the ratio and set it to 16:9, bam..9.1MP left. The camera is better on the G5. The S7 has better screen, longer battery , faster focus and wireless charging. It really depends what you are looking for.. for the camera enthusiast, G5 is better.

[@sebastiento9695]

i don't understand why so many reviewers has flawed units. I visited like 10 different stores here, ALL G5 were FLAWLESS. Build quality is *GOOD*, issue is the QC (at least in America, lol). Even JerryRigEverything couldn't bend the G5 at all (apart from the chin, which surprisingly still worked!) It's not made of cheap pretty metal like the 6P or the Mi5. Or the easy to break glass phones! Depending on how extreme the light is, and also if there's thermal throbbing, the G5 can technically reach 900 nits. Multi-window will come out as native in Android N, just a matter of time! :P Honestly, I never expected the G5 to look better than the S7. As you said, the G4 felt better than the S6, that's because LG polished the G3 into a better device. This year, it's the opposite! Samsung polished the S6 to S7, while LG took a whole new direction with the G5. I don't agree to call LG's innovation a fail.

[@joeyrueff3495]

best comment so far !

[@TheWowwa]

+Sebastien To you made me feel like i have to buy G5!

[@sebastiento9695]

TheWowwa i never knew I could be this convincing! haha :P But my arguments stand up I guess :)

[@sebastiento9695]

Joey Rueff well thank you sir! :3

[@sebastiento9695]

***** YES! I have a G3 too, and honestly I can bear a little longer with it. But I just can't look away from the wide angle camera, I need it. haha

[@MorkusReX]

I almost got the S7 Edge. luckily switched to the G5 at the last minute and I can't be happier. This phone rocks! the camera is just amazing. Sure the S7 Edge is pretty but is it really what? Nope. I want a good phone and LG G5 is a better phone for me.

[@TheWowwa]

+Gal Root just read your comment! did you buy the awesome casing for your G5? I'm thinking to buy Urban Armour after I bought. Can't wait to upgrade from G2!

[@MorkusReX]

+TheWowwa funny, I also upgraded from a G2 :) awesome phone. about the case, I bought a cheap one and ordered good ones from AliExpress. you can buy a really decent case there for around 3$, just search for"armor hybrid case G5".

[@TheWowwa]

+Gal Root Wow, thats super cheap for a good casing! Im in Sydney, I'm not sure how much for the postal charge for AliExpress.

[@MorkusReX]

+TheWowwa almost sure it's free to Sydney. the downside is that it sometimes takes 3-4 weeks to get there (well..almost anywhere). also, when buying in AliExpress , sort the search results by "orders". this way you just order from wherever every one else does.

[@TheWowwa]

Gal Root thank you for the tips!

[@TheAgentAssassin]

seal the case , put an apple on it , make it 16gb and it will sell billions

[@americanswan]

LOL

[@loganclark1738]

so true

[@TimLimDimSims]

To be fair Iphones have a lot more GB nowadays.

[@loganclark1738]

+RykoDimSim that doesnt matter if you can have upgradable storage like lg then that gb size doesnt mean anything

[@TimLimDimSims]

logan clark Well expandable storage can be very hard to come by in large sizes. Plus you can't put apps in them. I an LG user

[@Saska2oon]

IMO the poor sales of the G5 are a result of people being sheep and afraid of any change. The modular design is purely a neat addition. You never have to utilize it if you don't want to. Slap a case on it and call it good. However that being said, it would be nice to know if you were going camping or something you could simply insert a new charged battery in 5 seconds. I'm willing to concede that the S7 may indeed be a better phone, but considering the specs and performance is it really $300 better? I'd say no chance in hell

[@MegaGouch]

Or perhaps people just prefer Samsung or Apple? Doesn't make all people afraid of change. Galaxy S7 and Note 7 are both waterproof, for some people that will be the reason they buy them.

[@Saska2oon]

MegaGouch Being waterproof doesn't change the fundamental design of the phone. People already will drop 100 bucks for a life proof case, so Samsung just eliminated a need that already existed in the market place. LG decided to take a stab in the dark and design a phone that had never been seen before. Even with what I just said, I do agree with you. Some people prefer Samsung or Apple and that is fine. I'm just saying that from a spec standpoint running an almost pure Android experience there is no reason the G5 should cost $300 dollars less than the latest apple or Samsung models.

[@MegaGouch]

Unless you dont want the added bulk and pain that comes with a lifeproof case. There are many people who wont put their phones in any case as the like them slim and thin. The Sony Z line was popular for people who wanted a waterproof phone and the Galaxy S5 was obviously popular enough they bought back the waterproof rating for the S7.

[@jeremiahmcquiston7401]

i have a G5 and i do love it. when deciding between the g5 and s7 the lack of removable battery on the s7 made the choice for me. everyone knows batteries die, no matter how good they are. so when buying a phone with out a removable battery. you are buying an expensive paper weight. samsungs argument are these: are batteries are better than ever! (but they will still die) and customers will buy a new phone before the battery dies. after i switch phones your old phone can still be used for SO much. mp3 player, video player, web browser(wifi), gps with predownloaded maps, word processing, camera(wifi camera)baby monitor, game device, vr box with or without a computer, ect. keep your phone a live with a removable battery.

[@itami8rin]

I use LG G5 for months. And I don't have anything bad to say. It's almost perfect.

[@nanezferrer3565]

The bootloop problem?

[@Abraham-ui6kc]

Nanez ferrer that happened to the g4 not the g5

[@ThrowbackHighlightss]

Lavender Firemoon any issues with the screen burning?

[@boby6110]

Ive had it for 3 months ive treated it perfectly and the power button doesnt work its super laggy and now its dead and wont charge

[@TAEbot]

There's nothing wrong with the G5, its a good solid device. So sick of people complaining that it's plastic and then 99% put a otterbox case on it!?

[@metalmilitia1890]

I have the LG G5 and I can honestly say, I'm very happy with it. I love the ability to swap a dead battery for a fresh one on a dime, the camera with the wide angle mode is fun, and its extremely snappy.

[@Xtechi]

the camera is the coolest part about this phone

[@MorkusReX]

exactly.

[@aaronp5706]

The only cool thing.

[@MorkusReX]

+Aaron P nonsense. although it doesn't have the wow factor of the S7 Edge, it is an excellent phone!

[@aaronp5706]

Okay.

[@MorkusReX]

+hebbocake What do you mean?

[@King.Science]

Great video man!

[@TheRabi1234]

LG G5 is very innovative phone but they failed to market it properly. LG can't beat samsung and apple in marketing.

[@iduncareanimore]

+TheRabi1234 they areadly couldn't provide decent build quality despite not marketing it, if they market their phones they might as well quit the mobile industry, overpriced garbage

[@slbees2]

+iduncareanimore have you ever even owned an lg?

[@iduncareanimore]

+Zane Brannon currently using a g3

[@iduncareanimore]

+Zane Brannon i was referring to the g5 being overpriced garbage, i would say other than lg's unstable sofware lg do provide good phone for the past few years (g3,g4,v10 ect)

[@MorkusReX]

+iduncareanimore Funny because I had the G2 , G3 , G4 and now G5 (well, in the family, not all mine) and only the G3 had issues.. the rest are pretty solid devices (software too). Get rid of the G3.

[@Dante440x]

In the real world if you are looking for a long term like stuck with 1 single phone for 2-3 years. LG G5 modular design is actually practical for mediocre self repair in case if something goes wrong. the modular design is actually applied in the inner part. Check out the disassembly video for G5 and you will understand. Changing your battery with ease after 1 year or so is actually very important. No more sticky glue crap like the rest of them esp waterproof phones which will lose the feature once you open it and also costly.

[@Co0bra]

why did everyone hate g5?...i have g5 and my wife s7...and belive me g5 it's much responsive than s7...the picture and video quality better than s7...the speaker is excelent ..better than s7 here i understand it because of the protection for water..the batery it's not that bad as you sad and it charge faster than s7's...the display is great inside and outside but s7 is better...the design is great I really like it...the software is clean ....i'm super pleased by my g5 ...mine is h850 model...i read that many commented here and they don't know what g5 is because they don't own it...i really don't understand why this hate for this phone!!...

[@Craylor]

I think you hit it right on the head! I just wrote an article about this. Yes, the G5 has some problems, but its not TERRIBLE like people say. It's the S6 of LG. They tried a new design and just need to work out some glitches. I bet the G6 will be a killer phone.

[@merysunartha6452]

What's your blog dude?

[@Craylor]

+clash ongems I write for The Tech Ninja (thetech.ninja)

[@jerrycheung9000]

+Christian Taylor Surely the G5 isn't the "S6" of LG. If so, LG must lose the game... But I think the G5 has done a quite good job.

[@100subsnovideos9]

The only bad thing about the S6 was the software it was running on. Marshmallow improved a lot of the issues, but many of the issues with the G5 is due to its hardware

[@vishalgiri5166]

I think LG G5 is a great device bcoz of modular design, wide angle camera and I love the fact that they haven't removed the IR blaster like other companies did, but nothing is perfect in this world so instead of looking at the drawbacks LG G5 is a perfect device in my opinion, only water resistance is absent on it and nothing else...

[@sheepball]

love my LG G5 removable battery is a 100% must have for me

[@TheBlueSensei]

I'm glad I went with the LG G5, haven't had any issues and as a power user, being able to remove the battery is a huge sell for me and the added micro SD card. I haven't tried any of the friends but I am looking into getting the cam plus.

[@TheMetsfan1962]

I'm sorry to hear you went with the G5. You do realize it a shit phone, don't you?

[@TheBlueSensei]

[@Julian-do7bv]

I have a g5 and love it so far

[@AKrishnaAkhil]

Truly enjoyed this video!Great review Danny!

[@naythaniel]

It's impossible for a battery on a phone to be hot swappable since hot swap means to replace with the power still connected.

[@dannywinget]

+Naythan Williams well it's possible to add on hot swapped like on the Moto Z.

[@naythaniel]

Oh. You can do that on the G5? I didn't realize that's what you meant. Cool.

[@MichaelMuryn]

If there was a small non-swappable battery that can hold enough power for a small time or a plug that could keep power in, I guess that would make it possible. That or being able to have multiple batteries to power it. Etc. (like the non-swappable battery I was talking about, re-word this with "not swapped" battery, but swappable).

[@larsaqvarfordt1069]

Naythan Williams

[@CrackaTice]

I love your channel man, keep it up!

[@11reynomat62]

Something you have to remember is how much more the S7 is than the LG G5 it's almost £350 more in England.

[@Videocrazymachine]

Wow here in the US the S7 and G5 cost the same...

[@11reynomat62]

+Videocrazymachine That's mad, that's the reason I bought the G5 because of the price.

[@Videocrazymachine]

Ok I checked again and they're not _exactly_ the same, the G5 is like $50 cheaper than the S7, but still that's nowhere near £350..

[@11reynomat62]

+Videocrazymachine I checked again and it's a £200 gap now but thag's still a lot, the price was what influenced my decision more the anything else. Most people from England seem to like it as well. After looking at some of the American ones quite a lot are AT and T phones which maybe that's why they might not be so good? I really don't know much about the American phones but the fact that loads of Americans hate it yet loads of English people do does seem a bit weird

[@Videocrazymachine]

That is very interesting..

[@whampoatech3876]

100% Agree, Camera is fantastic along with battery life. Overall software experience is great because of the specs. On the bad side, using it outdoors can be irritating. Because it has a thin aluminium back with a huge plastic coating I would imagine the phones would look like shit after 6 months. I doubt friends will ever take off and I doubt LG will do this design again.

[@WellTempered1]

So right lol

[@23Boaz]

The G5 has FM Radio! S7 doesn't.

[@jonathantheawesome3449]

I love my LG G5 I was looking forward to it ever since I saw that it was coming out and I really love the design I love the plain and simple look at as it makes it seem more professional in my opinion

[@174wolf]

Of course innovation fails when said "innovation" serves no practical use. Also, screen to small, bezels too massive, way too highly priced, and 2800 mAh is *way* underpowered for a SD820 and QHD screen... What do you think about the OnePlus 3?

[@juliogol80]

+Tobias Weiß couldn't agree more.

[@dannywinget]

+Tobias Weiß well they did push the design and could of set a trend for future smartphones. The execution just wasn't there

[@joshm8324]

too*

[@mightypoopfist]

+Tobias Weiß im sure this will be a hit when it gets reinvented by apple in 10 years

[@tudormorosan2316]

+mightypoopfist And then people will say that it's AMAZING AND UNIQUE lol

[@edwingonzalez7290]

I just got mine today , loving it ...

[@daviidon]

I love my g5. And the wide angle camera is just amazing. I don't really care about build since I always use a case. Only the HTC 10 would make me consider switching

[@TheWowwa]

+ICE Starboy me too, I haven't buy g5 yet but since HTC 10 came along, it sways me too. But, that camera!!, though... HTC 10 can't beat that. plus, G5 has GATE technology makes it anti-hacking device, certified by US military. Since I am an eager phone banking user, I have to choose G5 because of that. Can't wait to buy it after I finish my semester papers!

[@TheWowwa]

hebbocake yes true, even Iphone can be hacked too (referring to FBI versus Apple case). But what I'm saying is, its better to have some confident in using smartphone. Im not sure about Samsung but LG has been certified for GATE technology.

[@TheWowwa]

hebbocake thanks for the reminder! appreciate that.

[@iH85CH001]

agreed, except the HTC 10 doesn't have the ir blaster anymore so I ended up with the G5 now, and I couldn't be happier!

[@moonharp]

iH85CH001 True dat. I don't know what I'd do without the IR blaster, now that I'm used to using my phone for a remote.

[@muneeb5747]

simple and to the point... Literally The best g5 review on youtube! Well done !!

[@samlovesjojo]

I do agree that this is one ugly phone compared to the S7 or S7 edge. But a nice spigen case did the job on mine. I'm enjoying this more than the S7 edge I had before it. That thing STILL stuttered and lagged occasionally. I have yet to run into one hiccup or the slightest lag on my G5 since it came out. I gave up on Samsung after owning every S and Note phone they ever made.

[@Pompnumber]

Dope video, well done Danny!

[@Heiserton]

Heh, at least the G5 Isn't catching fire.

[@PabloAndresDealbera]

This is most realistic and not-biased review I have watch so far. With everyone talking about GS7 being the best smartphone of the year you was able to pull a review stating some features that some users maybe appreciate more (the wide camera for example). I'll take the GS7 this year though as I don't care too much about the camera anyway.

[@yvonbilodeau1102]

[@chrisoakes61]

I have to agree. Samsung nailed it this year.

[@MorkusReX]

trust me, after using the G5 for a week, this phone is amazing.

[@TheWowwa]

+Gal Root how amazing G5 is?

[@MorkusReX]

I love it. The camera is outstanding, the wide angle is a killer (and the only phone to have it right now), it feels pretty light. The phone is snappy but all phones use the SD820 so that's not a surprise. I got it mainly for the camera really..wanted to have the best and the 12MP 4:3 seemed pretty bad on the S7. I already got decent 13MP 4:3 photos on the G2. Wanted a real upgrade which isn't just faster focus. Seriously, I compared the G2 and the S7 at the store and there was almost no difference is detail..it just focused faster and did better job handling artificial light. The G5 is a whole different level. Much more detail when zooming it, it has better manual controls (3 times longer exposure) and the wide angle.. although just 8MP, saved me many times in my trip to Europe. Video I think is better on the S7 though and the build quality feels better. I have a case on it anyway so I couldn't care less. Also , the volume button are pressed to easily , but that's also fixed with a case.

[@Minoxys]

+Gal Root The 12 mp camera of the S7 "seemed pretty bad"? Do you know that, according to the largest majority of reviewers, the S7 camera is the best now on the market? I really like the wide angle of the G5, but the general quality of the Samsung camera is so much better (I repeat, this isn't only my personal opinion). You should have bought the S7, dude.

[@MorkusReX]

+Minoxis Nope. the 12MP becomes 9.1MP when using 16:9.. once you zoom in you will see the difference. The S7 is a great phone, the camera is overall better on the G5. Sure, if I will lower the quality to 12MP 4:3 on the G5 , the S7 will probably have a slight advantage, but thats the thing, the G5 is not limited to that. it can do 16:9 at 16MP, it can do better macros, it can do wide angle shots, it can do 30 seconds long exposure, it doesnt over sharpen photos (well, it does but not nearly as the S7). Again, the S7 is a great phone , I'm sure you will be happy with it.

+BruDavaloredge design is key almost to all products. What do people look at most when they buy a car? It has to look good

[@ProWrestlingGamer]

+Danny Winget A phone and a car are different animals...you can't compare the 2. Do people put cases on cars to protect them? No! The look of the device imo is unimportant. You're going to spend 99% of your time looking at the screen. You will do everything that needs to be done with the screen with the exception of a few things. Aside from the size to screen ratio...The look of the device does not matter...performance is what creates the user experience. It's a phone not a fashion statement

I'm disappointed in the G5. I thought it would combine the best of the V10 and G4. Instead they took a left. This could have been it's own line, with the excellent tradition of the G3 and G4 continued with improvements.

[@MilanStier]

Great review! I've been sticking with LG since the G2, I've just bought a G5. Man what an improvement, the OS is so smooth, and this new wide camera is just absurdly good. The one thing most plp criticize and I really enjoy is the phone design, it's very clean, so much to a point that it looks apart from the rest and beautiful.

[@dhetu8195]

Thanks for the update! i'll be changing my G3 in some months... i'll watching the upcoming innovation of these two brands. High end and wide angle Camera, SD Card and battery swap are my main priorities. Great vid! Keep up the good work! 👍

+Luis Robles Thank you man! It's a good phone but I wouldn't spend my money on it over the other phones this year. Usually LG is my top pick. Let hope the V10 successor is the one this year.

[@soleil3gs]

+Danny Winget Yeah you were very accurate. The G5 standby time is absolutely ridiculous

[@mikemercado5223]

just upgraded from a g2 to a g5....I. love it

[@priscilanatalia669]

love the review 👍

[@bradypats1]

Great review, thanks man.

[@bizmonkey007]

Good updated review, but try easing up on the motion tracking. The shot at 1:18 with the USB C Port is just awkward and unnecessary. I get that motion tracking is the "it" thing with a lot of tech reviews at the moment, but it's getting a bit overplayed. It's a cool effect and After Effects makes it easy enough, but it's just getting old.

[@Sokira14]

You're the best for soundtrack background !

[@danialrinam]

BEST REVIEW TILL NOW. So unbiased. Totally real.

[@sleepyzzzzzz7418]

nope watch flossy carter "lgg5 real review" on KZbin that's a good review !!!

[@danialrinam]

+Juan Hernandez Okay thanks man.

[@dannywinget]

+Juan Hernandez I am the Asian Flossy Carter! Ask Floss about it! Haha

[@dannywinget]

+Danial Rashid thanks man!

[@sleepyzzzzzz7418]

There is a huge failure in the Camera "Friend" module. They made it with a USB 2.0 port rather than the USB 3.1 port. In other words, NO Quick Charge while the Camera module is in place. In fact charging through the Camera module is slower in general. I tried it and after charging it for 2 hours it only gained 15% of a charge. Very disappointing,indeed. And a dishonorable and dishonest way to save a couple of pennies.

[@WellTempered1]

I was just considering getting the cam plus. Had no idea about the slower charge. Thanks for the heads up.

[@UserHD143]

great video man! havent tried a g5 yet

[@Jb-Raja]

Great review. Thanks

[@christianliteratus]

That's the best review for LG G5 I've seen thus far.

[@haroonasmal5000]

Thanks for a great review. Seeing as you have a few colours of the G5, which is the nicest looking in your opinion?

[@LuneTech]

crispy video Danny. I really wish LG took more advantage of that swappable bottom, I think it has a lot of potential

[@zadeoooo]

they will be making some more very soon

[@franktorres7963]

Wow, great video review. You just got another subscriber. Cheers

[@dannywinget]

+Frank Torres thank you! Appreciate it

[@tfs1598]

5:32 how did you get back the multi window

[@iH85CH001]

yes I was wondering the same

[@keenenwilkinson424]

As he was saying at the exact moment, what you have to do is install another launcher that has multiwindow capability and that problem of not having multiwindow is solved. :)

[@dro80002]

He's using QSlide, not dual window.

[@tylercharette8357]

great review as i was torn between this and the new Samsung note and this has swayed me towards the note

[@Techninjaspeaks]

Let's be real here

[@dannywinget]

I guess being real was a topic here. Didn't realize I said it multiple times lol

[@gtamediaproductions1]

Being able to change the battery from a drained one to 100% in a few seconds alone is a huge plus for me. LG G5 is a good phone. I have one and love it. In the long run the s7 and s7 edge will not charge to full capacity anymore. Then what do you do? Toss the phone out? Buy another one?

[@lumpyspaceglob]

I got the s7 edge a couple months after it came out, was totally impressed. I recently got the LG G5 because it was free with my plan and my s7 edge screen is completely shattered. All in all, I like the G5 so far.

[@wongrab8196]

Thank you. Good tour guide.

[@gm6368]

Great review.. What do you think of the LG STYLUS 2?

[@StarNumbers]

Can you think of people who really need the camera modular add-on? Should every car look the same? We need reviewers who are not just techies.

[@Ruddammsbroelet]

I had it for 2 weeks now and simply love it. A great phone at a great price.

[@ImagineMedia]

I'll just leave it at this. I got a G3 awhile ago and it was a lemon out of the box. Now I'm an Xperia user. Love it.

[@LuneTech]

What desk do you have? I like the glossy look

[@rtgsuper1373]

Hate it until you feel it it feels great in the hand

[@drewigi]

guess I'll be sticking with my V10 for now. can't wait to see what's next in the V series

[@christianmapanirosescharli9204]

Nice video man! I've had mine for two months as well and am very pleased with it so far. YES they removed the app drawer so it is more "iPhoney" but, for me, it works just fine with just having my apps in folders. And I found the phone to lag just a bit with the app drawer enabled. Now, in my region, the only available item is the still the camera module. I haven't been able to purchase extra batteries nor a cover or a charger. Sucks balls but I guess the rest is coming through the summer.

[@11reynomat62]

I have the LG G5 and I absolutely love it!

[@eg1457]

Danny, what Launcher do you use for your G5 in this video ? Seems to be a nice feature to have more windows on the screen. Thanks for this Great Review !

[@Ki11erAceO_o]

After owning a htc one m9 for a while (had lots of problems; overheating, camera app not working and the g sensor failing) the only downside to my LG g5 is that it doesn't have front facing speakers. But I got an extra battery and the cam plus for free with my phone. So I'm really happy with it. 10/10

[@BenKistner]

Great review! I've owned the G5 for a few months now too and I agree with everything that was said here. The two things that are my biggest dislikes about this are 1) the GPS has issues and 2) the frame is warped. The frame being ever so slightly warped drives me nuts! Overall, it IS a really good phone. But the devil's in the details, right?

[@qaz92]

Danny the best rewiewer for sure

[@julianbenabides5974]

I have a G5 and am very happy with it. A detachable battery is extremely important to me, and I'm glad that LG still has that feature. My only real complaint about the phone is that the fingerprint sensor is unreliable. But honestly, I think cell phone design reached perfection when the Note 4 came out. A stylus pen, removable battery, expandable storage, dedicated home and back buttons- rather than the digital ones they have now. I'm sad they don't make phones like that anymore...

[@bassyks]

Danny, Thank you for such an honest review. Most of the reviews are either black or white, you are travelling in the grey areas pretty well. Other than that, I don't know if there are still people out there who use their phones without a case. When I plan to buy a new phone, after curing the list to a few candidates, the first thing I do is to look for case offerings. Shockproof cases are my priority and the simplistic looks also matter, spigen for example. After that I read all the reviews from liable sources and watch youtube reviewers just like you. I have bought an LG G5 last Saturday and I'm whooped. I've been a regular nexus user so far, yet since Turkey has some problems with importing nexus units, I've decided not to wait for new nexus models. The phone is so good. The most important downside you have mentioned in the video is the slickness of the buttons. However, I prefer to carry my phone on my side pockets with an Ozaki O'tool stylus. Since the stylus is a thick one, protuberant keys are a downside for me as the buttons are sometimes clicked inadvertently. So far so good, I have not had that issue with LG G5 and my new case gives me a direct point blank interaction with the keys as the locations are prominent due to the case's design. All in all the phone is great and one the best features is the fingerprint sensor. It's amazingly fast and accurate. The other thing is that I love simple and boring designs, nexus 5 was my love prior to G5. As a matter of fact, all I want to look at is the screen, I don't want to french kiss my phone or have hard on for it. Brightness seem to be a issue in most of the reviews, yet the auto mode is pretty nit maniac IMO. Istanbul is pretty hot and sunny for the last 6 weeks, and during my time with G5 outside, under direct sunlight I've had no issues with the screen visibility. You should keep the auto mode of screen lighting on, I think. Again, thank you for that honest review. Have a nice day.

[@saidbendahmane3535]

Thank you , you did a great job !

[@EdoGDL]

still getting this phone, here in mexico the G5 cost 500 dls while the S7 and iphone cost 850-900 dls

[@shanehorne22]

and why couldn't they have both of the cameras at 16mp
