    Has all the features other top of the line phones have: great camera, fingerprint sensor, excellent display, solid metal body, top end processor. Really not too much to complain about here. Only one quirk: the area above the display is actually curved, so I couldn't find a glass screen protector that covered this area.

    Purchased 2 phones, each at half of the regular price just prior to the release of the G6. Smooth as silk, great camera, battery easily lasts a day of normal usage and recharges very quickly using the included charger. Updated to current operating system, 7.0 during the setup process. No issues to date.

    Up until this purchase I was a Samsung Note user. I had gone into Best Buy with the intention of getting the new Samsung Edge but they didn't have any in stock. My daughter was looking at the LG G5 and I was intrigued with the "extras" that were being offered. Both my daughter and I ended up purchasing the LG. It's fast, it has expandable memory, great cameras, two rear facing and one forward facing. The only problem I've had is one of my batteries overheats but as I have 2 of them, I just switch it out. Originally I did have some problems with the phone freezing but that bug seems to have worked itself out. And my daughter hasn't had any problems.

    I switch from an iPhone 6 to the LG G5, and I feel as thought it was a great decision. The phone works very smoothly, is extremely used friendly, and the apps run much faster and cleaner than on the iPhone. Not to mention the camera is phenomenal!

    I purchased this phone to replace a dying G3. I was able to get a new G5, an extra battery, usb C adapter and battery carrying case for 120$. I could not pass up this deal. Also this phone is very powerful, has a great camera, and amazing battery life.

    This is my 3rd LG phone. I love the size and its ease of use. It does have some bloatware but not nearly what my husband's galaxy 7 does. However, I liked my last phone better. And it still works after having it at least 4 years.

    For starters I bought this phone for one reason, the battery was modular, meaning I could replace the battery. Every phone I've had, the battery is great up until around the one year mark, and then all of a sudden I'll be using my phone and the battery would go from 100% to 50% and so on. However, with the LG G5 I can replace the battery when I want, or just have a backup for long periods without charging. Additionally the wide-angle lens is a great feature, I don't have to back up for group photos anymore. The LG G5 feels great in my hand and it was my favorite color. The only features that would make the LG G5 better are a waterproof body and a shatterproof screen.

    Great phone with some flaws

    The LG G5 is a great phone as a concept. It is one of the last (if not the last) high-end phones to provide a removable battery, which allows for greater usability through the day, as well as a potentially longer life for the phone overall. Unfortunately, the phone has issues with GPS (I've been through two G5s). Often times GPS simply does not work, which makes it difficult to use the phone for navigation. As I understand it, the G6 has no such issues.

    Very happy with this purchase. The extra battery and case means you are good to go for 48 hours without a charging station. The camera and speed are great.

    I've used this phone for over a month now so here's a brief review. Phone feels light because it has a metallic coating painted over plastic. It gives it a premium feel while feeling lightweight. However, I do have a noticeable chip that may be due to the metallic point used (instead of using pure metal). Snapdragon 820 makes this run buttery smooth. Battery life is okay. It's less than 3000 mAh which is not very desirable in 2017

    This phone is powerhouse, and the price/power ratio is best on the market now. I purchased the phone on BB special. It came with extra battery and cradle. The phone just received android 7 update and my overall experience with the update is great. The phone has 4 GB ram which contributes to the smoothness of the UI. The camera set up is exceptional and pictures have a great quality. if you can get the phone on special you cannot go wrong with it. Battery life is average but does not fall behind too much with another flagship phone.

    Get the AT&T version of this phone for my daughter about a year ago now and she absolutely loves it. She said no issues with the phone and loves the dual cameras is able to take spectacular pictures. She bought a second battery so if she is out and about she doesn't have to worry about plugging into a juice pack thing or whatever she can simply switch the battery out and keep on going. The phone is function flawlessly since she's had it for the price I would highly recommend it.

    I originally was looking at the S7 edge, but the camera on the G5 is much better. The speed, memory, and graphics are the same, but I can still remove the battery if needed. An excellent phone for anyone who uses their phone for the camera.
