Fantastic new design, Modular build brings lots of possibilities, Great display, Battery life is phenomenal, APT-X HD for 24-bit Bluetooth audio, Snapdragon 820 is ultra fast, Video is among the best on the market, Wide-angle lens makes for some really in
LG's UX 5.0 is as convoluted as ever, Carrier-exclusive band support rather than an International phone, Camera software is confusing, Photo quality is mediocre at best most of the time, Hi-Fi DAC from the V10 was obviously removed to sell the new Hi-Fi m
I went into this experience with high hopes and with fantastic first impressions. LG's presentation on all fronts is flashy, fluid and attractive to say the least. They've built this one up as something to break new ground, and in many ways, they've de...
No-contract pricing of the G5 will vary depending on carrier. AT&T charges $689; T-Mobile, $630; Verizon, $624 and Sprint, $576. This is roughly what you'd expect to pay for a top-tier phone. Various contract pricings will also be available, depending...
The LG G5's unique modular design lets you swap in fun accessories. It has (two!) great rear cameras, expandable storage and a replaceable battery -- a rarity in high-end phones
Although you can swap out some parts, there aren't enough to make this feature compelling. You can only access the phone's app drawer in a specialized theme

Build quality iffy, accessories pricey, modular concept needs to be fleshed out
