    As to why that is, I would say it is mainly down to the flawed 'modularity' aspect. It's was poorly thought out and very badly implemented.

    It's a shame as from all other aspects the G5 is a great device that's competes nicely with the completion in a lot of areas.

      Its now safe to reckon that this phone has failed, LG has fired its lead designer, as it has failed the expectations, failed the sale numbers, failed to gain the customers respect, failed to make an impact. The only field that didnt fail, was the early reviews that created those expectations and gave that false sentiment of superiority, i wonder what was it, the push from earlier LG flagships, or some bribing?

        There some reasons it hase some poor sales
        Design-people would rather choose to show the antenna to have a premium feel instead of plasticy paint and the camera
        Modularity-people dont want the idea of turning it off and back on and the Moto Z has so much better modularity and Mpto Z can support 3rd party modules
        UX-people love the app drawer and the ux is cartoony
        Battery-so poor and people just buy the S7,S7 edge,P9,HTC 10,Mi5 and many more flagships
        Im a LG fan but now bye bye Lg im a HTC,Huawei,Xiaomi, and Samsung Fan

                  Excellent phone. Only drawback I have found is the screen has spotted and I have no idea how.

Then you can gain access to the the phones internal memory or sd card and just drag and drop files/music/video etc to and from the phone.

                            The bending test no pass, check from the youtube the LG G5 show the battery modular broken at first, it is not necessary put the phone in a jeans pocket.

                                Further, when you connect G5 to PC, then in G5, pull down notification bar and you will see the message :
                                Charging only - Tap to change the USB Connection.

                                Tap on that message and then remaining options appear.

                                    G5 H860. I get a lg.com support msg asking me for cam plus modle and Imei no's.
                                    They come back and say ""take it to the Riyadh Saudi store where I"m at presently. They have no clue as thats why I"m online to get support !

                                    Found the LG Smarltworld apk download site does not work. My phone widget connnected says; it only works with LG phones. YES.!!- I'm on a g5 phone and its not recognized. !! Everyone with a G5 should get on the smartworld web site. It will be the first and last time !

                                    For travelers; would you not expect to get on any LG web site and fine your phone model. Not here !

                                      What web site comes up to give win10 usb drivers ?

                                      i had to get the developer mode selection turned on with usb debugging on and all other options that should allow syncing to a pc etc.

                                        I can't sync, tethere or get an apk's thru my pc.

                                        2. I found out also there are 2 models of the Cam Plus since mine is not working. Also the apks or software versions can't be upgraded with any usb connection to the phone; unlike any other phone.
                                        3. Getting the developer mode options turned on is quite a treat !! not one mention on an LG web site or in the manual. That must be on to usb into your pc for any sync''ing and installing new apps.
