LG G5 is such an underrated phone. I'm typing from mine right now. First time I'm using it after a couple weeks. Needed to transfer Godzilla vs. Kong onto it and my Pixel 3.
The G5 could literally last decades for me. Stash away a bunch of batteries. The parts are also easy to replace. The LG V20 is the better buy though if you can tolerate its size. The display is nicer but it's really because you can get battery cases over 10,000 mAh. Even if those degrade, you will still be in great shape. Should last years.

Rest in peace. It's been a full of excitement journey, at least for me. I can see clearly the passion and spirit in the R&D team, it's sad that the market didn't reacted the same. May these characters can be translated into other department of LG worlds. Cheers

Member, 11 Apr 2021What makes lg going bankrupt is the sudden death of G3 and ... moreThis... My Wife had G3 and I had G4 and they died on us just before warranty (24 months). Mine died twice. Second time just two weeks after first repair. We sold them off and LG was banned in our home. Shame, because those phones were gorgeous.

Forgot to mention Most sold LG P500 (Launched in 2011) and iconic flex phone.
I used Lg G Flex for 5 years and LG flex 2 for 3 .
Certainly LG phone were best but always missed on pricing strategy. They will be launched at 50k+ prices and later be available at 50% off prices.. so the consumer felt cheated and started missing launched purchase which ultimately resulted in failure..

Panda eyes, 11 Apr 2021For me, the LG G4 with red leather back will always have a ... morei have the g4... it is somehow a culmination of previous improvements...
display - where images looks like it is printed on the surface, not saturated, just right...
camera - aside from the quality, the manual settings and some camera app tricks...
curve - which is "just right", g flex was the "most curved" i have seen... aside from the "nice" effect on the display it is also good on hand... easy to pick up...
rear controls - power button and volume rocker, very intuitive...

LG G2X on T-Mobile, I loved that phone so much I bought it twice. I had a custom firmware on it at the time and holy moly it was stupendous, I gave it to a friend because they were so impressed with it. Ridiculously fast (with the right customization), camera was actually pretty decent for the time but my favorite was the size of that thing, perfect for one-handed use.

RIP LG, they were willing to throw so many new things at the wall and saw what stuck and the ones that did (UW lens, 1440p, 4K etc) were the ones that pushed the limits of smartphones. you will be missed old friend, thanks.

You forgot G6+. Probably the best G series amongst all. LG has the potential for smartphones. But LG is not a company that invest heavily on marketing unlike Apple and Samsung. But truth is their product is way durable than Samsung. I have devices from all three competitors. Samsung cracks and breaks easily. However, LG has its fair share of hardware problems - internal corrosion especially when exposed to moist/humidity.

I had the arena, and especially loved the FM transmitter! It actually worked on the "restricted" fm frequencies. So I could annoy other people near by xD sitting in the back of the bus, and start playing some music over the news, that the bus driver tried to listen to xD next was the first dual core phone. Then the first 3d phone. Sadly the newer the phone models got, the worse the support and updates got. Still no change today. So don't be surprised when the new "3 os updates" won't be a thing. It's just how LG works.

I remember buying the LG g3 and I loved that thing, screen was super nice and it was my 1st biggish screen phone for back then so watching stuff on it was a pleasure. Its sad to see LG leave the market, they came up with some interesting stuff.
