    In my opinion this is a great phone for someone looking for a phone capable of running apps smoothly and contains enough space to download an assortment of apps to use. The camera works well and call clarity is also above par. The downside is that there are many apps and process that continue to run in the background even when phone is not being used which tends to kill the phone battery quickly as well as heating the phone to be hot to the touch. All in all the phone is great with awesome pics and call clarity and medium ease of usability.

    My wife was getting this phone as an upgrade to her previous LG phone. After seeing it, I decided I wanted one too. My old phone wouldn't keep the charge and I was interested in using the internet. I didn't use internet access on the old phone. I love this phone. It has more features than I am used to, picture taking is awesome, and graphics while playing games on it are better than a tablet that I previously used. Talk to text is the best feature. I am slow at texting so this works awesomely for me. One small draw back is the charging/data cord is an uncommon "C" type. Finding accessories for this phone is limited but more items are coming available.

    Had the G3 thought it was a great phone, but the G5 by LG out done themselves once again. The 360 video and camera far surpasses the older gen. Its fast and easy to operate.

    Overall a good phone for the budget. My biggest complain is battery performance is really bad. I need at least two full battery to last a day. Fortunately it can change battery, so I bring two extra with me every day

    I like the LG phones. I had the G3 Vigor previously. I liked the buttons on the back. For some reason LG moved the volume buttons to the side again. I preferred them on the back but I still like the phone.

    The LG G5 is a fantastic phone with great specs and reviews. When it went on closeout for $120 I couldn't pass it up. I was aware the G6 was coming out soon but can't afford it and $5 is a steal. Couldn't be happier.

    I finally decided to upgrade to a smart phone after using an old phone for seven years. Best Buy had a weekly special. buy a LG G5 phone and get a free LG 32 inch smart HD TV. I read several reviews on the phone and what owners had to say about their purchase. I am very pleased with the phone, it is easy to use. This is my first smart phone and I would recommend it to anyone.

    I purchased 3 of LG G5 cell phone. Best Buy had amazing deal on phone. It is definitely worth the cost if you don't want to spend $500+ for smart phone.
