OdysseyTag, 21 Feb 2016Guys, not too sure about the Magic Slot stuff. I like the i... moreI'm can see 'loose-gate' for the magic slot. And oh, I can see someone inserting the battery wrong like the Spen fiasco. And all of the sudden the whole phone cannot turn on anymore. Lol. I just imagining the worst case scenario. Anyway, the 2800mah is too small. As an idea for third party modular adds on I suggest a bigger battery. Yeah, attach a battery to the battery. Battery problem solved.

Lead2XL, 21 Feb 2016Battery is too small for my liking. I don't want to have to... moreLG users always state how good their swappable battery is. They can change it in few seconds and have full battery again, but now you are complaining. Choose what you want instead of complaining about everything. The modules will make the battery much bigger without making the phone's design suck.

AnonD-128820, 21 Feb 2016Looks like lenovo k4 note. Disappointed..What? This looks nothing like lenovo k4 note and since when if a phone looks like other it's bad? You are saying that apple looks like water. You can't even compare them. I think you are just a troll or some sort of fanboy.

The back is ugly but I don't really care because I'm not trying to impress anyone and it is going into a gel case from day 1, just want a phone with good technology which the G5 has. The battery is swappable so not too worried about battery life since I am used to carrying around a spare battery. The Camera looks to be quite good. Disappointed about the base 32GB storage though, goodness its 2016.
Hate to say it, but from all the complaints, I'm going to wait a few months and if it flops like everyone is predicting, I'll be able to scoop it up at a discount. The G4 price dropped like crazy when it didn't sell well, but the phone itself was pretty good.

This is not an update to the g4, this is something completely different, and they should have called it something different. The g4 was a beautiful device that stood out from competition, this is another rounded off 2.5d glass iphone wannabe. Dissapointed.

Guys, not too sure about the Magic Slot stuff. I like the intention but I can see that bottom component getting fiddly and lose over time. I also see a major region for dust and sweat to accumulate within that line. I don't think it will cause so much as a "gate" fiasco but I do see it becoming more of a situation for people who use it repeatedly over time.
Lovely specs, presence of Type-C much appreciated, saw on one of the slides in the presentation 'Micro SD - expandable to up to 2TB' which is quite a statement seeing as I only know of up to 200GB MicroSDs. Still not a fan of the unsymmetrical design - your best bet would be to get this phone in black. Now on to the S7...

Design seems to have taken a step back. I dig the whole modular aspect but they certainly could've made the back of the phone a little more pleasing. Perhaps a chrome/matte border covering the back functions might have looked better.
Still, not a bad phone. Will wait for reviews.

Don't see the point about battery. The S6 is battery smaller and has a older less efficient so this will perform better than that

It actually looks pretty good for imo. The modular design is something exciting indeed. I just hope the battery won't be a letdown. And i don't have my hopes up for this one.

Battery is too small for my liking. I don't want to have to swap out one battery for a charged one, too much of a nuisance. Two-day battery life is near the top of my priority list. LG has lost the plot unless they have some wizardry that allows users to eke out two days from such a mediocre battery.
