LG G5 H850 32Gb 4G Lte Factory Unlocked International Version

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.

I had LG G2 and G3 and I really like them. I decided to buy new mobile and LG G5 was a natural choice. When I got the new LG G5 I was very disappointed about the UGLY back design. The back is NOT flat and the two cameras are bold. but the worst is that LG has moved the volume buttons from the back to the (left) side. That is less comfortable. On my old G2 and G3 phone the volume buttons are on the BACK which is genius. LG has made big mistake and changed the volume buttons position. Second problem is the G5 is modular - why is the problem? because there is a BIG gap between the phone and the bottom cover. It is UGLY. On my old LG G2 I could not remove the battery, but it was not a problem at all. LG has to increase the mAh from 2,800mAh to more than 3000mAh instead to give the option to remove the battery. But if they really want to give us the option to remove the battery (that is useful sometimes), why not from the back, like G3? I do NOT care about LG Friends! I need a mobile phone - not friends!! which most of them are gimmicks. Because the modular option the mobile doesn't feel premium, but looks and feel defect :( The CPU, The screen are amazing! The Android 6 is very nice, but has nothing to do with LG. - Design - ugly. (back - looks like face of an alien. Front - much better but the bottom cover makes huge gap) + All the rest - Good or Excellent. Conclusion: If the design is important to you = PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS UGLY MOBILE PHONE!

I love this phone, I used to have the LG G4 and in my opinion the LG G5 blows it away. I take a lot of photos, I absolutely love all the camera options, my photos always come out perfectly. The finger print scanner always works and is much easier than typing in a pin each time to unlock the phone. Some people have said they find the phone ugly I disagree completely . It also has a pull out bottom so you can change the battery with ease on the go.. I find this very helpful. Built in memory and the amount of memory you can add via micro SD card is impressive. Built in 32GB memory and can add up to 200gb in expandable memory. It's a no brainier to upgrade to the LG G5..

Looks brilliant, the gold colour is easy on the eye. Still getting used to the phone but so far so good! 2 small problems, first the 'contact ' transfer of data between my old and new phones did not give me feedback about whether it had worked. With the weather being hot the fingerprint sensor has not recognised me a couple of times, but that might be due to perspiration.

Disappointed with Amazon as this arrived 18 days late. The phone it's self is great, coming from a galaxy S5 which I was having difficulty switching the screen on, not impressed, only 18 months old. 5 hrs 20 mins screen on time on first day while setting up 2 hours better than my S5 with same 6.01 version of Android and same size battery 2850 mah. Very fast phone. Love the double tap screen to switch on or off feature. This is a proper full metal phone unlike S7 with its glass front and back, no thank you. Haven't seen any so called professional reviewers mention that when criticising the G5. Removable battery is a must for me which was my prime reason for buying this phone.
