      Good device but a very ugly one. Sorry, but for me the S7. Btw, I am a SONY user, no Samfan.

          "The LG G5 was chosen as the best new device introduced at the MWC 2016"
          How could they - they couldn't have tested it or its competition yet - many are not out yet in retail version. Puzzled.

As for sales, I am sure if LG price their phone reasonably they will dominate the market. This is a lesson for Other phone manufacturer when they ignore people's opinions in favor of big profits

                  I am glad LG G5 won the title best phone of WWC 2016. If the sales improve LG will have a stimulus to make even better phone in 2017 and to be the real competition to Samsung.

                      LG deserved it.

                      They went above and beyond to create something we've never seen before.

                        Innovation its the reason of the MWC. Don't be confuses Samsung lovers. LG's may not be the best on the beauty department or the edges cut of, but certainly they did a great job bringing "new" stuff to play around.

                            GSM Arena, I'm disappointed in you. Putting an experimental/gimmicky phone in the G5 over a more complete phones like the S7 and S7 Edge. I'll wait till the actual reviews come out, and the Gimmick5 is shown to fall short.

                                  Samsung s7 is good, but it look like upgrade version from s6.Sony, l feel no more surprise. X version look like worst then Z version. HTC look like a Titanic, it will sank. Huawei is good, but is not the best. That why LG G5 can be best device. One thing it is smart. It can remove battery and modules. If u no large battery. It can make large battery accessories to put on it. Everything if u want, LG or third party can design new accessories to put on it. It is smart design!

                                    Justice has been made!! Good job to lg, even though they were mostly ignored by the press and seems like most websites were paid by samsung to praise the s7, gsma showed their unbiased choices when picking the real best smartphone at mwc

                                      Why?: infraport,FM,USBtypeC,removable battery. Try to find that in 6s,S7,XPerformance. (You won't.) What you also won't find is audio amplifier, parrot,... It's new game machine.
