    Switched over from Samsung and have been very pleased. Fingerprint scanner has been great and everything else is great. Camera, extra storage, speed, so far nothing wrong with the phone.

    Needs a little tweaking when you get it like turning off ads in the notification bar but otherwise runs great. I have yet to need to powerclycle it because of a lockup, the battery last me longer then my G3 did, the quickcharge feature is awesome! Took off a star for not having the volume buttons on the back like in the past models and the ads in the notifications. Easy enough to find and turn off. The newer OS has me scratching my head a little, on how to do things and why on earth would they do something a certain way. For example, I use alot of alarms so that time sensitive work gets done but now the alarms show up in the notification bar long before its time for the alarms to go off. This is annoying and happens even when peek is turned off for the app. Overall its something I can live with, minor flaw in judgement as I call it. LoL Enjoy your new phone, This one is a keeper.

    I'm a big phone geek and have had all the flagship over the last few years. This is by far the best phone I've had. The battery lasts all day, and it came with a spare which can tOe you two full days of use. The UI is also amazing. The phone is super fast with no lag time at all. The fingerprint sensor is as good or better than the 6s. I definitely recommend this phone to anyone, you won't be disappointed.

    ive had this cell phone now since november, & @ the beginnin it was pretty great! but only in january (last mth) i got a notice sayin it was "corrupt". nothin else has come about, but im already worried it being a total of 4 mths theres already something wrong. i luv it despite that tho! the nifty pop up of certain apps is def handy (when ur tryna do somethin on another screen)! the finger scanner is a plus (that ive missed on my iphone 6+ and note 4). it still takes gettin used to not havin a button to press on the screen like on my prior cells. but still recommend cuz of its personalization, and great camera too!

    I chose the LG G5 phone after my LG G3 stopped working. I must say that I am impressed by the size of the screen and the new upgrades that were made between the two models. I would highly recommend this phone.

    2 months out no issues. Not the latest and greatest but great price and powerful enough for 95 percent of users. Love the camera. Much better than the camera on my Note 4. Updates immediately to Android 7.0.

    LG has always been a plus in my experience. It was less monthly payments compared to the over rated Samsung edge or 7.. I have no problems. The sound is wax better than my Samsung phones

    If you can buy this under $300, I think it is def. worth the money. It is getting somewhat outdated at this point but still a reliable that let you change batteries.

    A very good phone considering I didn't want to pay a lot per month to get the newest model. Having had a G3 model for a couple years, it was easy to "move in to"!

    It just might be. Smooth and fast with a great screen, finger print scanner that works, no front buttons to take up space. Replaceable battery is great for someone who travels for work. Best phone I've ever used, and I've used a lot, S6, Nexus 6, iPhone 4/5/6, Note 5, etc.
