But how can you possibly say that?

And that other guy that says the battery life sucks. You both telepathic? From the reviews I've watched or read they've said they were pleasantly surprised, again that's on a pre production unit
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
I'm quite surprise too, it's not comparable to S7 (according to GSMArena results) but still is better than both G4 and V10
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoKaTSuYa:
A little bit better for the battery life, a little bit. Pre unit or not, it's always the same, when they say it's pre unit it's the final software and hardware... and means it sucks.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrenzo:
I must have watched a million reviews online about mobiles and ever since the "smartphone" came out all everyone says is battery life could be better. I'm personally not too bothered, plus I'd rather have poor battery life on a phone which I can change the battery on. Either I've preordered mine and can't wait for its arrival.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sammae7:
I read up on this phone daily, and though all the previews/reviews make note of the fact they are using a pre-release unit, most seem to agree battery life isn't up to par and the module clip/battery is not easy to remove/replace. I've read/seen previews where they almost thought they were going to break something, and that is not good.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] InflatedTitan:
All because it's something new in my opinion. Of course you have the thought in the back of your mind about breaking it. No other phone has ever let you rip apart the bottom half lol.

But always a double edge sword, if it were to easily slide out, ppl would complain about build quality and the potential of the module slipping out on basic usage. The community's will always have their own thoughts. And I agree with the fellow a couple post ahead of me, literally every single smartphone that has ever been announced the people said they wanted longer battery life lmao. If I get an hour less standby time than my buddy with an S7. Who cares. I save 2 hours of charge time by swapping out another battery in 30 seconds or less. Im a huge phone buff and I have to say I'm more than ecstatic about this device.

"LG's G5 Smartphone Is A Giant Leap In Photographic Capabilities Over The G4"

Looks better in automatic mode maybe, but giant leap ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
Giant leap is a bit of an exaggeration, but their examples were quite good. That again was also a pre-production sample they were using. I personally am very much looking forward to the camera on this phone.

Battery performance the same so as usual take all reviews with a pinch of salt. Some reviews claim S7 last a little ,onger but then mention the swappable battery on the G5 so usual a draw in comparison.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I will have my first impressions up tomorrow. Very early views though. Plus a very early view vs S7 Edge. TBH it's a choice over priorities and what matters more.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Swappable battery is a great plus, but I believe more in gsmarena data than in benchmark...

Anyway, I'll buy a g5 in July xD

Looking forward to read it! Will you able at some points to post couple of JPEG + associated DNG files (both for the regular and wide angle cameras)?

I would like to know whether LG included a flat field correction in the DNG this time (it wasn't the case at the G4 launch and was addressed months later during the marshmallow release).

It seems a review written by a kid, quite personal as a site "review"
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ciprigeorgiu:
take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Exi1eHSEFs

I'm done with LG. I just sold my G4 after 2 months of using it. Screen had some faded horizontal lines all over the screen and the service would not aknoledge the problem so I sold it. It had a good camera but that washed out screen (it wasn't as bright and as colourfull as the display units) made me sell it. LG will not have a good year.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
What I have to look? There is a problem with the bottom? Ok. Is a problem that have everyone? No.

Also, I'm aware of the low brightness of g5, yep it sucks, but the reviews is not even objective in some cases, for the reviewer the S7 is the best in everything lol
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ciprigeorgiu:
Unfortunately S7 is nor perfect. It has it's problems too. But this review is not the only one that shows G5 defects. And having 3 defects on the phone from the first 10 minutes of use is not good for a 700 dollars phone, is it? And after the problems I had with G4 I'm done.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Will see other reviews
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Emix*:
That backlight bleeding is horrible.

Also in the comments section she says that phone is actually not full metal, but aluminium with plastic coating. WTF LG?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
It looks like the phone is metal, then a plastic outer layer goes on top which must contain the antennas, then a final thin paint/metal layer on top.

So it is plastic and metal, to provide the antennas. Instead of a seam of plastic for the antenna like on other phones, they have it under the skin.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] edda123:
Horrible decision if you ask me. Especially when it seems to be so thick!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Can't say it really bothers me, the main structure of the phone is still metal for heat dissipation and strength.

Then they embed the antennas without unsightly lines just under the paintwork.

Also means it insulates your hands slightly from the heat produced by the SOC.

If they are painting the metal anyway, it doesn't make a lot of difference other than that "cold metal feeling".
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
According to last LG declaration the phone is metal, the plastic only cover the antenna.

See the green update in this article: http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g5-made-of-plastic-not-metal-683460/
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
It's called link bait. And many fell for it. LG legally couldn't sell a phone stating it was one thing when it wasn't.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Just like the AP review :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] panamaniac:
Pardon my ignorance, are you saying that this was link baiting on the part of Android Police or LG?

I have been wrestling with G5 vs. S7 vs. S7E for the past few days. Just got the iphone 6S plus and love a lot about it, but Siri is so bad it hurts and I miss Google now.

One thing people haven't talked about much is the price. I'm looking at 2-year installment and it'll cost me $24/month for G5 and $31.25/month for S7E. That's $174 difference, or roughly a basic Netflix subscription every month. Or most of the way to a Spotify subscription. So if they cost the same but one came with free Spotify, would that make people like it more? (It's super easy to dismiss the cost difference when spread over 24 months—that's how I wound up grabbing the 6S plus!—but I'm trying to think carefully here.)

Also, mine will be in a case so I'm not as concerned about many of the design complaints.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] evak2979:
I've put my 3rd s7 edge attempt on hold, waiting for this phone - the M10 I am not interested in unfortunately.

I am disappointed to hear about light leak more than anything else.

I'll go with the samsung - I'd rather deal with slight RAM management, and maybe a but of tint - but light bleed annoys me immensely. :(
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
How often do you plan to look at a completely black screen on full brightness?

As far as I have seen there is no backlight bleed in real use and many have praised the blacks (for an Lcd)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] evak2979:
Don't even go there :( letterbox movies shows it and it also shows during use if dark colors. I have been burnt by it in the past by Samsungs note tablet and I know. The Z series has minimal light bleed. LG should take a hint.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
Pardon my french but LG $hit the bed on this one. I was looking forward to it. I guess I'll wait and see if the HTC 10 can take me away from my S7 Edge.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
I find that hard to believe but we will see. His reviews tend to be too generic for me; not enough detail and more of a gloss.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbrzoska093:
Yep I figured it out so that's why I'm not buying LG G5, I will buy Huawei Mate 8, because I hate AMOLED burn(Galaxy S7 it's not an option)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Ok, after two days of ownership, here is my quick take on the phone. Now, I also own the Nexus 6P and the Galaxy S7 Edge, so comparisons will be included.

First, I have owned the G4 and V10 --- and wasn't a fan of either as I felt they were slow and laggy. But I kept an open mind and decided to try LG once again (I did own the LG Nexus 5 at one time and thought it was good except for battery life and lackluster camera).

So, with that being said, here we go:

Initially, I was skeptical of the size of the phone since I tend to like a larger screen size but I honestly like it and find it comfortable to hold. Pleasantly surprised.

The screen is VERY bright and nice but I think Samsung has it beat: colors appear richer and lush on Edge while the screen seems "flat" on the LG.

Software has NO lag this time around which I found refreshing but the UI still seems a bit dated: teal, really? Not bad mind you, just not overly attractive. True, I think it is lighter than TouchWiz, but Samsung has dialed that down now and it honestly is usable and my dislike has diminished. Though the LG is FAST, I find the Edge to be blazing fast: things just respond much faster.

Camera: both (as well as Nexus 6P) are excellent cameras but I give Samsung the edge. The LG did stutter a few times in autofocus while the Samsung is instantaneous. Furthermore, I find the pictures richer and having more depth than the LG as the LG pics almost border on blown out and overexposed, especially in low light situations. They appear "flat" vs the Samsung's rich detail and contrast. Again, I think both cams are excellent but Samsung has the upper hand. I have not tested video yet.

Build quality is where LG falls down: that slight gap between the chassis and module is troubling and since I have no interest in any module, I would think any repeated removals would make that gap worse. Moreover, I have enough to lug around, do I really need modules?

Battery life is noticeably better on Samsung. True, LG has a removeable battery but again, why do I want to carry around more accessories? It holds its own when in doze/sleep, but as soon as I begin to "use" the phone such as texting, emails, etc. the battery level drops VERY quickly. I can almost watch it drop 1 percentage point at a time. Not confidence inspiring.

These are my thoughts after 2 days of ownership and though I can say I "like" the phone, I just don't feel it has a wow factor. In fact, I am under the impression it will be difficult marketing this phone to new buyers. It is pleasant but not an earth shaker nor does it have an overly premium feel to it.

Not sure it is a keeper at this point compared to the competition.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
In reality it's quite good, the only two "bad points" for them were Design, which is quite subjective, and the software for the "bloatware part" which is related to carrier-devices only.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
And the bad implementation of the modules as well. Watch the video.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
I've only seen the written review xD

And that part it's pretty criticable, because, which is a good and possible implementation of modules?

This being said the phone works also without the need to change modules.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
True. But reviews are meant to scrutinize and that's what they did.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Indeed, i've just said that is not so bad as a review =)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dennishhh:
I was really looking forward to getting one of the G5's but with these problems it's not likely. I can't believe they can introduce a phone that has the modularity and they don't ship any of the modules. The first reviewers talked about the screen color and problems with bleed but nothing from LG about it. The one saving grace is that it is possible to buy a totally unlocked G5 from B&H without contract. I love the camera's and the replaceable battery. Hopefully the V 11 will use a wide-angle camera. By September we might be able to buy the G5 for $300 or less which makes it much more desirable than the $800 GS7. It's still a very good phone just got the crap kicked out of it by Samsung.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Well it does seem the first early batched released had some build issues, but none of my friends G5's who got them yesterday or day before have any issues. In fact, the all love the phone a lot. The CamPlus and HiFi Dac are out next week (in UK) followed shortly afterwards by the 360 cam. The lack of official accessories is no different to any manufacturer launch. I have the S7 Edge too. I want the official Samsung Lens Cover, Leather Cover case and none are available still.

I really think many of the YouTube videos were harsh but the reality is a different story. Will the price drop, for sure. But all android phones drop in price as there are so many new phones being released.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dennishhh:
It's great to hear that the phone is being received in better condition than here in the United States. Maybe LG decided to dump all the beta units on us. I've heard rumors from some reviewers that the hi-fi DAC is an even going to be introduced to the United States which I find ridiculous. My point was that this being a new concept phone I thought it was important to have the friends available with the phones just for PR reasons. Not one of the reviewers has been able to comment on the hi-fi DAC and how it sounds. Personally the removable battery and the wide-angle camera are enough to make me buy this phone. The screen bleed and color like I said before is something that I don't want to live with, to the UK phones have the screen bleed or has it been corrected?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I think T-Mobile got a load of early batches for sure. I haven't seen any new retail versions with problems here. Not great for early adopters at all, but these things happen, and I have had first release phones from all companies have issues in the past.

The DAC is coming to the US. Incorrect info is being bantered around.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dennishhh:
I think you might be right, I just went over to AT&T to look at the LG G5 and it looks perfect. The screen is bright and neutral, there is no bleeding of any kind. It's fast and easy to use. The wide-angle camera is amazing. Definitely looking better and better. Personally I'm waiting for some promotions from LG like a battery and database for the phone. Would love to have the DAC but seems there's no news yet on whether it's going to be here in the US. I suppose I could always buy it from Britain.

This is very good news. I can't wait to return this Galaxy S7 Edge - it's very disappointing. I really think Samsung pays Youtubers. The screen is FAR too saturated - Greens and oranges are out of wack! The camera is FAR WORSE than the G4 in EVERY situation except for low lights, as you can see:

But look at these other pictures I took.

Clear winner in my eyes.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
FCC approval pending. On the AC podcast the impression created was any module made to work with the G5 requires it.

Need to verify that any time a module is added that it does not affect or otherwise change radio characteristics than when there is none.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
Good comparisons mate. I agree the G4 and G5 is far, far better. I had the S7 too, and I really didn't think much of it at all.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thunderbls:
Picked up the g5 yesterday from Verizon.. Will be honest I haven't had that initial kid in a candy store or new toy excitment for a phone since my original droid and didn't here. There isn't anything really new that they do its just better and or faster. Reviews are meant to point out the good and the bad alike without bias with the latter not always possible. This is my feedback and opinion.... Its been a few devices since I was able to opperate with one hand this phone feels great in hand while still having a sizable screen. Why people like to point out that your not touching metal humors me... Most people throw a case on their device which makes sense your not investing in a toy from the dollar store. I looked at four devices prior to picking out the one I left with. They all had the bleed in the lower right corner and all but this unit in other spots. In don't do anything routinely on my phone that makes this issue prevalent. Only one of the four had issue with gaps where the bottom attached and it was minimal but I would have noticed it every day. Camera is fantastic on par with all the other phones out there right now. Battery size isn't a deal breaker for me knowing if I am able to swap out the batery is. As long as the batery last as much as other comparable phones this feature has more value to me. I have owned devices that didn't have removable batteries and their use was short lived. People have different specifications they put value in and that will inevitably lead to their descision. I am very happy with my purchase and think for me this device ticks all of my boxes.

Only thing I would like lg to consider is if they stick with a modular design in the next itteration is a system batery smal just enough to power the device while swapping the battery. Not that powering on the device takes long but not having to do it would be awesome.

Can anyone help with suggestions please? After the MM update I can't seem to find a way (or App) to 'sleep' the Z5C at night. What I am trying to achieve is to turn off Sound, LED light, Sync, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and Mobile Data at night. Basically, I just want the phone to be available for outgoing (Emergency) calls at night, but nothing else. However, during the day I want return to the full smartphone functionality.

MM native Doze keeps waking up the phone to sync periodically. MM Do not Disturb doesn't seem to turn off the LED notification light. I've tried several Apps but the MM update seems to have removed the functionality for 3rd Party Apps to manage mobile data (I.E. Doze App, DS Battery Saver Pro, etc.)

Is there an easy (non-rooted) way to do this?
