LG G5

User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

This is a very UNPOPULAR opinions but the LG G5 and Essential Phone (which both flopped and panned by critics) are two if my favorite smartphones ever.

LG G5 has the best all-around hardware for me. Even moreso than my V20 which is technically a little better. I just prefer the size more and it rarely gets hot like the V20 does often. While Essential Phone with Android Pie is the best software experience I ever had. Its as if Matias Duarte put webOS on Android.

1. LG G5
2. Essential Phone
3. Apple iPhone SE
4. LG V20
5. Xiaomi Mi 3

All four are all great and it's almost difficult for me to separate them. But gut feeling tells me I enjoy G5 and Essential PH-1 the most. I've owned the first iPhone Nexus, Pixel, and only Essential ever. I've owned the HTC One M7, Galaxy Note 3, S7 edge, and several more. I like the underrated, underdog phones.

LG G5 and Essential PH-1 are like the Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube of smartphones.

Went back using a gray wallpaper and never saw it after a month. You can google search the right settings for the app. I found it in one of the comments from the V20 page on this site. I had problems for both my units and never saw it again for either. I even use NightShift app for scheduling since blue light is unhealthy in the dark. Never seen image retention ever again.

For those who have this problems, I suggest to turn off your G5 and leave it for a few days, so you won't available with your phone for a couple days. It's not 100% effective but it's worth to give it a shot. If it does, it may not eliminate the problems permanently, but it may for a long run.

              Very Good Phone...
              Except for Screen Retention..
              It's Worst on This.

                Anonymous, 23 Aug 2018Of the LG G5 or Nokia 7 plus which is better? Focus: Ca... moreThe main camera on G5 is very good and should be better than N7+. Plus, I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate wider-angle camera rather than telephoto lens. G5 has QHD compared to FHD on N7+ so better, sharper goes to G5. I've never used N7+ but I used my little sister G5 just bought few days ago for music playback, no complaints at all. Just good and practically no distortion but decent on volume clarity (when using any headphones or external amplifier). Loudspeaker is good, sounds bassy and pretty loud.

                    Camera
                    Screen quality

                      sprung, 21 Aug 2018This is for a Rogers LG G5, model LG-H831 in Canada. Pros ... moreI use sFilter PRO and the image retention never returned for BOTH my LG G5 and V20. I can now use that gray wallpaper that matches nicely with my silver G5.

                      Both 2016 LG flagships which were the last flagships to offer removable battery are two of my favorite smartphones of all-time. Even if I never use them again as my main phones, I can use both as my TV remote for many more years...

                        This is for a Rogers LG G5, model LG-H831 in Canada. Pros - great camera, love the wide angle lens. IR blaster , great for changing TVs in bars/clubs/etc. Removable battery. Nice to have option for swapping it out.

                        Cons - Mine developed burn-in fairly quickly . Getting it replaced under warranty with Rogers. Short battery life. Doesn't last nearly as long as other phones that I've had in the past. Still stuck on Android Nougat. Oreo not slated to arrived until October if at all. FM radio not activated on this model.

                                My g5 died in the swimming pool so I've bought the g7 TinQ.

                                I prefer my old G5 for the reasons below:

                                - Irda
                                - Wider camera
                                - Removable battery
                                - Size. G7 is too long and falls from my pocket.
                                - And a very important one to me: HDMI output


                                G7 over the G5:

                                - Better screen
                                - Water proof
                                - Sighltly better performance.

                                There is not a big difference in performance.
                                Camera in the g7 is better, but on the g5 you can install Google Cam Mod, and in can't find any mod working on the g7.

                                In my opinion is not worth update from the G5 to the G7

                                  I bought G5 for birthday gift to my little sister since she doesn't like bigger phone (I want to buy for her G6 but 5.7 is pretty big), better camera (looks on some camera reviews that G5 has better camera than G6) and she really loves it. By the way, comparing the G5 with my S7 edge and pretty agree that G5 has better camera (comparing 16MP on G5 to 12MP on S7 edge).

                                    Susetyo, 13 Aug 2018Can i just using wifi to update it ?Only if your phone is non Verizon, if you have the version VS987 it means it's a Verizon model and you can only update via WiFi if you have an active Verizon 4G sim card, if you don't have an active verizon sim card, you can only update via PC in the instructions i gave bellow in the comments.
