Except the USB-C, there is noting impressive about this phone. How is this better than the S7, M10 or X Performance?
To me it's but-ugly. I even asked all my friends and most of them agree. The G4 is superb comparing it to this. The only thing that i like is the lockscreen.
And it lacks the most important thing for a high-end flagship: WATERPROOF!
This commercial reminds me of HTC who did the one with Iron Man but still lost cos their phone was crap. Marketing won't save you if your product sucks...
LG blew it this year.

      MioandUs, 31 Mar 2016In order not to forget the REAL Truth about LG G5!!! LG G5... moreThe G5 is indeed in a league of its own. I have owned it for a long time now and have had a fantastic time using its features and accessories. The extra wide angle camera does help a lot when taking a photo of a landscape or a group of people. The S7 has no chance against it. But the battery life is a bit of a problem.

        just to remind everybody that battery tests on the lg g5 were done on a pre-production unit.
        I am still waiting for updated test results before making my judgement in this issue.
        Since i mostly browse with the phone ,only 7 hours of web browsing is disappointing,
        I hope the production units will do much better.

Well, it depends, I'm no gamer, chip is 4k capable, for better audio I can use DAC. I would buy that for the same price...

                  Now, if you have a spare battery, you can stick your spare battery in, and you immediately got 100% charge.

                      I see many devices that can be readily controlled by IR. Most televisions and DVD players. I see a Nintendo 3DS which happens to have an IR port. Perhaps it isn't often used that often for communication between devices nowadays, but it is still pretty handy to have.

                              anyway i dont think you hear me. it has worse battery life than lg g3. did you own the damn g3?

LG G5... moreYou can whine all you want the g5 is just not up there with the s7 and s7 edge. Nowhere near in terms of design. And g5 screen is not color accurate as you can see in the review. Avg delta e over 5 how the hell is that accurate. S7 is 2.3.thats accurate.
                                    Also it has worse battery life than the g3. I mean wtf .are you kidding me lg? Very bad battery life.no wireless charging. 5.3'' is also to big for most ppl. This thing is a flop.
                                    That battery life wow
