I don't want to switch brands again!! I really like LG (G2 and G3 owner), but if it doesn't have a removable battery, I'm going to have to move on.

    +Expendable mamory, in between 5.5" to 6"display dual sim like my H818N, I'm going to got it

        You must have small hands or something else is wrong with you, first of all smallest bezels LG G2, second there is no problem reaching over a 5,5" LG, third Samsung keep having an ugly as hell home-button like it's still the 90's...

          Successful Samsung smartphones are not only 5.5 inchers and larger, remember: S6 is 5.1 inches big. With tiny bezels. You can hold it in one hand and still retain usability with the same one hand. Unlike G3, G4 and so on. They're not usable with one hand. My G2 is barely usable with one hand.

                  Welp that can only mean one thing, no more removable batteries or back cover and it may also possibly lose microSD support too. Metal isn't more durable than some other materials and it tends to retain heat more easily and is very slippery to hold and grip. If LG is smart they'll release a more expensive all metal model along with a traditional variant.

                      I don't like all metal phones at all. It gets hot much quicker. Lacks grip and durability. Not everyone wants a fruit like device NO, please! #SayNoToMetal

                        AnonD-463899, 17 Nov 2015not everyone has the same taste as you, someone loves phone... moreExactly! Everyone that switched to LG from Samsung and etc did so because they didn't agree with the backwards unibody design and wanted something more utilitarian like the G3 and G4, so why is LG trying to loose customers by switching to a metal unibody body that no one wants in the G5?

                          AnonD-426158, 17 Nov 2015So shame nowadays many company try to copy iphone 6 design ... moreWhat a stupid comment, no Sony phone looks like an iPhone and the latest ip iterations are clearly inspired by the HTC One M7. Most phones these days are simply a large rectangular glass framed by metal, glass or plastic so there are limitations on design straight away. As even Steve Jobs said in the court case with Samsung, Apple was inspired by Sony. Make of that what you will but stop chatting nonsense!

                              No use of releasing new phones. They dont market the phone properly and they cant sell and get profit like samsung and Apple.
                              Still V10 is not available in many countries and i never see LG ads.
