Surprisingly the LG G5 is not a bad Android based smartphone. It’s powered by a nippy Snapdragon 820 chip, and comes with 4GB of internal RAM, and features a large 5.3-inch IPS LCD display running at Quad HD resolution. You’ll also find the new USB Type-C port at the bottom.
Pros
- Great performance
- Dual-camera setup is fun, fascinating
- Modular design has potential
Cons
- The first add-on accessories aren’t great
- Fit and finish doesn’t impress
- Middling battery life
Summary
LG’s choice to build a modular flagship smartphone is so brave it borders on nutty — too bad the phone doesn’t live up to its potential. It’s a powerful smartphone with an inspired approach to photography, but it feels like LG made too many compromises to make the G5 work with its swappable modules. What’s worse, neither of the so-called Friend modules we tested are game-changers. This phone’s modularity means it might actually get better over time, but for now, it’s still very much a work in progress.
