My favorite smartphone of all-time and for one simple reason; removable battery.
The GPS is kinda shoddy but still usable. The battery life has gotten better ever since the red 3200 mAh Shenmz battery from Amazon. The image retention has went away using a blue light filter and using dark backgrounds. And the overheating went away updating it to the latest firmware which was only Nougat for my unlocked model.
I've had issues with G5 early on but those problems became less of an issue as time went by. Its underrated attribute is it's easy to repair. Unlike other phones, tje modular design makes replacing parts so easy to do. If my G5 ever decides to break down on me, I'll just buy another one.
They can be bought for as low as $20 on OfferUp or Craigslist if you look hard enough and haggle. Nobody wants this phone except for core fans like me. Most people are trying hard to get rid of them. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I sorely miss this phone. While I still have my LG G5 as a backup, I needed to move on because after 5 years it was slowing down to the point that I was waiting on it. Unfortunately, you no longer can find a premium phone with a swap-able battery or 16x9 screen dimensions. How do we consumers let vendors get away with sealing their phones?

Anyone else still using a G5? Mines 4 years old, and i keep looking @ new phones, but nothing beats the value and lifespan of this thing. Paid like $250 for it back in 2016 and am on my 3rd battery. Still works great (except for GPS, which is very spotty, but better than nothing). About to order a new battery and give it another year or so of life!!

Tough hardware and... morewell it is now December 05/2020 And at present iam still running my LG-5 and great shape might be a poster cell one day lol. but the battery after all these years has only just started to drain somewhat quick so I did a reset of everything and the speed is now better all the apps had a huge part in this, other than that non issues takes awesome video and pics still love it and still using it as a spare cell with a active sim card but trust me when I say run from Fido at all costs they really do suck... this being said i have owned this cell since 2016 anyway like all things it might just go one day but until then LG if your reading this give us a dam update to newer operating sys

I am still using this mobile since 2016. Tough hardware and flawless software. The only thing i had to do over the years was to buy new batteries each year.

like my LMX410 way better. everything's switched up, screen smaller, volume too low, always hitting Google asst. button, off button on side
messes with muscle memory too much. like the old set up better.
switched to Sprint (not impressed not my doing) so the lg5 basically pushed on me. like my other lg better
thanks

Simple fix is to buy a new battery that will restore the functionality of all buttons.
