LG G5 review: Evening the odds

22 March, 2016
Someone at LG must have thought: “Leather is so last-year, let’s do something nobody has done – or long quit trying.” And here we have the LG G5. It has the looks of a brand new flagship, the heart of a dragon and an adventurous dual camera setup suited for every occasion. But there’s more than meets the eye, the Magic Slot. The LG G5 is a modular smartphone, which lets you plug a handful of external add-ons: a semi-pro camera grip with shutter buttons and a bigger battery, or an external sound amplifier by B&O.

I'm pleased overall, II'll be coming from a Nexus 5X which gets almost the same battery life. It's impressive the Always On is more efficient than Samsungs offering even though this uses a much less efficient LCD, all I'm waiting now is for HTC 10 announcement and my mind is made up

    Not a bad phone at all but that battery life is a disappointment. It seems lg will never learn.
