I really like the look of this phone, too bad it us not a phablet. Also the battery seems too small
LG's G5 is a radical reinvention of the flagship Android smartphone

Not at all a fan of the design. They did so well with the G4, that was a truly stunning device,this on the other hand reminds me of the old HTC Legend mid end smartphone.
I like the "LG G5 Friends" concept, I wonder in how many regions it will be available though.

I agree about the design - last year was better but I don't mind this one too. Still all metal phone with removable battery and micro so not bad
I reckon lg g5 friends will be available almost everywhere but I wonder how expensive it will be
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Here's to hoping it does well and gets other manufacturers doing similar concepts. It reminds me of all those Accessories Nokias used to have in the mid 2000s, I remember the Nokia booklets of around 2003-2005 had pages and pages of basic versions of what LG is doing. I think Sony Ericsson to had similar accessories.
I'm excited to see how well the Snapdragon 820 runs in these new phones, seems it doesn't bring the problems the 808 and 810 had.
Posted by aussieland1
Also I think Adreno 530 is a big step up. But yes let's hope 820 is nothing like 810
I am interested to see how useful these accessories really are. One downside is that the phone has to restart when you change the battery to say camera accesory

Qualcomm never miss a beat with the GPU, ever since the Snapdragon 800 SoC, they seem to have truly come to their own with GPUs.
Posted by aussieland1
That's why I like Snapdragon. But that's not to say that Exynos is not good. Anyway good that LG used the top of the line CPU and GPU on this occasion. I am wondering how is this comparing to S7

Well you can swap out the battery for a second one, or use that camera grip battery to bumps it up to 4000mAh. Also it does have quick charge 3.0 which is a nice feature.
I like the general idea of the phone, still wondering how LG will price it versus the S7.

Good point. Also s820 might not be do power hungry as s810. I think it will be cheaper than S7 however the accessories might be pricey . To me USB type c is another reason to pick this over S7
Anyway even though I am a phablet person it is not to see smaller sized flagships

It's all the manual settings with the G5, that impresses me a lot.
Someone who knows how to take a good picture will always be able to take more amazing shots with the G5 over the S7, if the latter still lacks in manual settings like its predecessor.
As always photography starts with the person who takes the pictures.

This thing looks HIDEOUS.
The entire ideology harkens back to the era where Nokia forced users to buy, and made a killing off their accessories (which used custom connectors. To be quite honest this whole concept looks not too unlike the Compaq iPAQ series H3600-5500 with the modular connecting port at the bottom (also custom) which was more a glorified connected PDA versus a real smartphone.
Quick question boys and girls ... can you spot the design FOOLs at LG this year?
Their the ones that created a modular accessory port within the inside of the phone that is exposed by removing the BATTERY! Which means Reboot Reboot Reboot every new accessory connected. not efficient, sane, nor intelligent.
huge PASS
Posted by McKinley
I agree with you Supa_fly.
I believe that not many people will really care to buy accessories to this phone either. I wouldn't b surprised to see LG go back to a similar G3/G4 design with the G6.

Exactly, this is in no way convenient at all!
LG focused so hard on selling the whole "removable battery" bit that they totally forgot usability and practicality. This is not the way to go with your mainstream, bread&butter device.

I agree that restarting the phone every time you change the accesory is annoying , but I like the idea with accessories in principle . It would be interesting to know how effective those are (I.e. Camera one etc) because it f there is no dramatic improvement then why use them at all ?
I absolutely don't agree that the design is hideous . Maybe the LG G4 was designed a bit better however it is nice to see a change rather than using the same design over and over like Sony does
