LG G5 32 GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Rose Gold

I love this phone. It is everything I wanted. I will NOT buy a phone with a sealed-in battery. This LG G5 is the only top-end phone I think with replaceable batteries. But, the battery 'lugs' (on the battery) can and in my case did BREAK the phones battery retention catch within 24 hours of this phone arriving, destroying it. Maybe a nail file should be used to make the lugs more rounded rather than 'L' shaped. I was gutted! I followed the instruction to the letter. Fortunately Amazon immediately refunded the phone and I ordered an identical one. I am SO pleased with it. But please PLEASE be SO SO careful removing the battery. I think I will leave it in the phone til the battery is old and only then remove the battery once ever. I even looked at the internet teardown x-ray image of the retention catch as I could not believe it snapped. You MUST remove the battery in the direction indicated (as I did but it still broke). Please don't take this as a negative review as there is so much that is right about this phone and surely LG must look at their manufacturing as an ongoing process? I did remove the battery on the this new one 8 times on day one to be sure it wouldn't break. It sounded and felt as if it would break, but it didn't. But I don't really trust the mechanism. Frankly, LG should put some publicity out, that they are aware there was (?) an issue but it is fixed, as this problem could affect sales. Others on internet forums have spoken of the phone breaking when removing the battery. But all said, I would buy LG G5 again and recommend it as an excellent phone whose battery can be replaced after 18mth - 2 yrs. So hopefully a long life ahead. I do worry though that if I swapped the battery every time it was flat that the phone might only last a fortnight! 5 stars nevertheless.

Right all I'm gona say is I own the G3 and the G4 and the G5 is poorly built compared to these phones which for long term use simply doesn't cut it. My G5 arrived in the afternoon around 6 and at first I was impressed as I unboxed it and set it up and mine mated up really well where the battery joins the body and at first I thought I had got a good one,boy was I wrong.... By 11 that night the power button had become loose and tacky and the finger print scanner failed to work completely and this in only it's first night,really LG how can you make a phone this poorly made??? Anyways mine is now going back to Amazon for a full refund and if you do a search the power button being loose is a common problem and so once I get my refund I may go to the HTC m10 cause they know how to build a proper phone,I had the HTC m7 and m8 and m9 and they never let me down they was built like tanks. Sorry LG but for this money your phone should last longer than a night before it breaks,it ain't no flagship and so if you is reading this I'd say seriously don't bother cause for long term use this phone won't last.... Edit,I have now got a LG V10 from clove uk and it's far superior to the G5 and the v10 is far better built and just as fast as the G5 and the battery life is just as good also so I'd say get yourself a V10 instead and yes you won't be officially supported by LG in the UK because the V10 is a import but clove would honour the warranty anyways. Updated2---,Since this review I had to send the LG V10 back as it became faulty and I then got myself a HTC 10 which I used for 5 months before getting myself another G5 from argos which has been working brilliantly and it seems LG have sorted the build quality issues out so I would recommend now the G5 and mine had the nougat update and it's running great also. It's a very good smartphone with the added bonus of the removable battery.

After spending dozens and dozens of hours on reviews, at this time, the only 2 main phones to chose from are the Samsung S7 and LG G5. (Apple??? please....) In effectively every way, G5 and S7 are as good as each other. I picked the G5 so I can swap the battery for a new one as they all lose power over time (can't on the S7) and the dual camera, which after a few months is great. What has turned into a real gem of a function over the last 3 months is the finger print scanner and its location. It woks 99% of the time first time and its perfectly located on the back to be used as the phone is picked up and turned over, so unlocking it in 1 movement. No more pins and I'd never go back! Battery life is good, every thing is good, its working well, no issues. It's not "waterproof" like the S7, but then the Samsung warranty wont cover water damage, so its not waterproof and not worth the risk! In a world of similar handsets, this is (at the moment) the top of the pile (ok, 1st place shared) but the camera, finger print scanner and removable battery are 3 prime reasons I'd pick this over anything else at the moment if I was given the choice.

I have had this phone for a little over 1 months and I want to say that it works very well. It suits all my needs as a power-user. I have only given it 3 stars because I woke up one morning to see that the camera protection was shattered. I've read about this issue and there has been several users complaining about the fact that with a bit of pressure from the finger the rear-camera protection cracked. I reported it to LG (to use the warranty) over a week ago and haven't gotten any reply. I am going on vacation soon and I don't even have a camera now. I am sorry It deserves at least 4 star but this basic issue with the rear camera protection glass and the POOR customer service comes with the phone.

Posso solo dire che soddisfazione! Funziona come un top di gamma ma costa molto di meno, veditore veramente valido.

Très bon téléphone avec quand même une autonomie un peu juste (la batterie toent moins d'une journée en charge complète)

Aunque LG ha dejado de desarrollar su sistema de módulos, merece la pena el teléfono principalmente por la cámara que es de lo mejorcito (por no decir lo mejor) que hay en el mercado, al tener doble cámara (una con gran angular) permite jugar y cambiar el enfoque. Si te gusta echar fotos y tener recuerdos sin duda es un móvil ideal.

Arrivato con 15 giorni di ritardo rispetto alla previsione, comunque arrivato , mi hanno restituito €15.00 per il disturbo, una cover, e un vetro protettivo. Per quanto riguarda il telefono:funziona, prezzo ottimo, schermo non troppo grande, batteria sostituibile, tra poco si aggiornerà ad oreo 8.0 praticamente fantastico!.

Article commandé à 4 reprises sur différents sites et à chaque fois, c'est le H840 qui est fourni au lieu du H850 ... ce qui n'est pas la même chose en configuration système. J'ai fini par abandonner ... Dommage.
