Apart from screen retention and no updates, this is pretty good phone though. I did sent my sister G5 and replaced the new screen, she started to love it back. Updates is not her business, as long as the phone works great. Good for gaming if not great, PUBG still runs at consistent FPS. Less bloatware and pretty solid camera but still there's a lot of room for improvements that could be made via software updates. Battery is not at it's best, but to keep it for a day is possible.

    I just purchased the H820N dual sim version and right away noticed the GPS issue. Loses connection every minute or two but I noticed if I put the phone higher towards the car windshield the GPS is fine. Must be a weak built-in antenna.

          bravo lg new year 2 year old software kudos for lg for keeping their customer outdated ..... they created a software center in order to provide faster updates ... well how slow could they be if there was not not such center hahaha that makes me laugh I own an lg g5 rs988 unlocked version ... no carrier branded and carrier branded version updated first than mine if maybe is going to be updated ... shame on you lg shame on you then you wonder why customer don't pay attention to your products even they are superior to another phone brands even if at the same ask price point from you I get a high end and with other a mid range .. still mid range from another company will have better treat on OS updates .. this is the truth I hope this message arrived to your office

                  Is f700K/L/S(korean) models have same features? I will want to buy that korean version.thanks

                    I have LG G5. Overally it is a very good phone, the camera is great because it also has ultra-wide feature. The only problem I was never able to fix (self-fixing based on youtube videos, service) was GPS. It never worked completely. Sometimes worked, sometimes not, now it is completely dead. I heard many LG phones have GPS defect, so that is the main reason I want to buy something new.
                    Btw. I already have 8.0.0 android on it. I live in Slovakia.

                    What I want from phone: ultra-wide camera, infrared, IP68, always-on display, no curved edge. Now if you only combine IP68 and infrared, you only get latest Huawei phones and a LG one. Mate 20 Pro has display issues and I don't want LG. Is that even possible that there is no phone for me?

                              This was the worst phone I have ever owned. Constant bootloop issues,camera issues and GPS issues. I will never own another LG product. Called customer service, they advised me to do a factory data reset. Did that, same issues. Replaced it with a Kyocera . That's unfortunate because previously the best phone I ever owned was an LG flip phone.
