[LG G5 Real Life Review] brancangekibe:
I'm often having it thermal throttle actually, but one thing needs to be said: it's really hot outside.

Used it as a constantly on Gps under the sun (40C, on a motorcycle) in a biiig rubber cover and once the job was done, it was throttled back to stone age. I actually took the batttery out for a while because i got scared it wouldn't revert to being snappy as supposed.

Of course this is an extreme use scenario: phone did not switch off by itself, and kept working: it just took 5 seconds to get from normal camera to fishe....i mean wide lens ;)

Nice, might try that. I imagine battery time gets better too or?
[LG G5 Real Life Review] brancangekibe:
Thanks for the info, i activated it immediately! Hope you get better soon! Man flues are the worse :eek:

I just picked up a G5 on Monday after my Nexus 4 finally bit the dust. The N4 got super super hot after the screen was on for a while, to the point where it seriously lagged out and I had to put it down for a bit and cool off. Doing the same things with the G5 and it is barely noticeable. It's gets a little warm, but not screaming hot like the N4 did. I'm happy with it.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] PeterRoweyn:
My G5 doen't heat. I played Asphalt 8 about 5 hours!:o
[LG G5 Real Life Review] leonman44:
It doesnt get hot , its really comfortable to play but i give -1 on this one because its from throttling caused during the game , Antutu benchmark is also the prouf , 2nd 3d test (Garden) is lower than any other phone with snap 820. I would trade some extra heat for more stable performance!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] PavlosPa:
Are you sure now????

Hahahaha
[LG G5 Real Life Review] bluerain28:
Love the G5. Mine doesn't get that hot. Just the normal hot temp. Love the camera, the performance, the spare battery with battery kit, also a spare of antenna modules (LG Camplus). :D
[LG G5 Real Life Review] selisho:
Only little bit warm

My G5 ist even under heavy load + charging a little bit warm, instead my Iphone 4S was like too hot to even touch it.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] lacrossev:
Mine gets warm to the touch when i have the screen on max brightness watching youtube over cellular + bt headphones. I have a feeling a lot of it is coming from the radios, especially the cellular antenna. Also, anything that tends to force itself to run in the background such as live wallpapers will keep the phone from going in to deep sleep. I had a one that switched wallpapers as you swipe from homescreen to homescreen, and my phone would get hot and stay hot even when it was in my pocket. The least things that you set to ignore the power management in the phone, the better.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Nick216ohio:
I agree with brightness part. When I have it all the way up and doing heavy usage things, hot potato! Bring brightness down to half point with heavy usage and ice pack.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] personb:
Havent heard about such a problem.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] LeonEuring:
No heat problem

Compared to the LG G4 its running very cool ^^. Love the snappy 820!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Ultraman1966:
I've had some major issues lately with it overheating when playing Pokemon Go. The throttling hits and the entire phone is a slideshow... dread to think what would happen if I lived in tropical temperatures.

Hello my friend,

Would you be so kind of uploading a screencapture of the way you set up your GPU settings?

Thanks in advance.

Mine stays cool until i use mobile data or GPS. Charging makes it a little warm but nothing overly bad :)

I had to ask this, did you had your note 7? is it better?

Lol cheap shot. Note 7s on fire. Lol. Gets a little warmer than g5.

My g5 does great. I shut off my thermal mitigations. Forced 2d gpu. Run mine like crazy and it stays so cool compared to my g4
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Skipjacks:
Wifi for prolonged use is the only thing that really gets the heat up on my G5. And then it's only sometimes.

I disabled most of the bloatware that came with the phone. That stuff is always active so killing a lot of that helped.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] manganoid:
Bought my h860 a month ago, (Taiwan version i think), didn't upgrade the Android at all, still at 6.0.1, original v10a, been playing need for speed no limit and injustice 2 for hours while on battery, not getting too hot, quite pleased. Rebooted twice when i tried to start a game on emulator (dolphin) and when i played ppsspp for more than 2 hours, constantly loading saved games in Burnout Legends. How do you turn off mitigations, i don't have it in the Developer Options.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] johnathanamber:
Not much of a problem, really. Sometimes, but only with heavy game use.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] lorcro2000:
Heats up under heavy use. With Wifi off and GPS off, it remains cool even in a pocket with Oreo.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] danm3gtr:
LG G5 european version at least

Here what i did about the heating issue:

I completely dissasembled my phone down to the motherboard, nicely disconnected all devices with a plastic pry tool from the motherboard. Just on a personal to those who do wonder, all the shielding on the SOC`s are not soldered to ground, they can be opened simply with a prying tool(do be very carefull when opening the shields). I literally applied MX4 thermal paste on the soc`s (crazy dude aint i?) spreaded around so the coat is even especially on the ARM cpu which is beneath, basically on the back of the phone, which is why you feel it getting more hot there, then put the shielding back together screws back in, cover, battery in, turned the phone back on, cleared dalvik cache and rebooted the phone to system. Why clearing dalvik? because after the system restarts it regenerates the dalvik cache on all apps, before actually going into android, and this operation heats up the cpu intensively if you dont have any thermal paste on there. But since mine had...while it was regenerating the dalvik cache, i felt no heat at all...and i think the battery stays a bit longer aswell now...
[LG G5 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the LG G5's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Smithfolk4:
A Bit too Dim

In low light the phone is a bit too dim with auto settings. Similar to the G3.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] jamiee6610:
Missed a chance for a great camera to be amazing!

Ita reliable, fairly stable and of good quality.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] eco_eco_eco:
a little bit too noisy and green toned when you take a picture in low light condition or in night with artificial light (like yellow street light)

but in manual mode you can set properly the setting (especially the ISO) to remove the noise problem or the green light factor.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] bolillo:
Hum maybe we can take pics and post them here but only low light pics

Hi, just sharing as someone asked. It wasn't meant to be a nice image, just a low light example. There are a lot of details and I think it did a good job. Photo is handheld, no flash, auto, main camera.

Note: the acene is actually a bit darker than represented in the photo.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] batkinson001:
Can you recommend the settings to use? I am new with this phone and have a concert on Wednesday to goto and I would like to get good pics. On my htc one m8 I was able to keep the camera on iso400 and the pics were alright.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] eco_eco_eco:
depends,

it's manual,

each situation has its own specific settings,

you should study a bit about photography, i'll help you but the guides I know are all in Italian,

alternatively ask someone you know some information, nowadays there are a lot of skilled photographers.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

good idea
[LG G5 Real Life Review] batkinson001:
Was at the Primal Fear show last night at the mod club in Toronto Canada and zoomed in pics all look like garbage... . Worse than my old HTC one m8. The videos fared a bit better once I got the focus to work, but still aren't perfect, the sound didn't turn out great, must have been way too loud for the phone in its life proof case.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
Make sure you lens is clean. I keep a cleaning cloth with me all the time. It really makes a HUGE difference.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] batkinson001:
My phone should be pristine in its life proof case. . Does having the camera accessory make a difference?
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
No it doesn't make a difference in quality.

The fact that your phone is in a case doesnt dismiss you from cleaning some glass. Convert smudges makes photos look pretty bad.

Edit: wait.. Which camera accessory? If camera module then no.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Hreidmar:
The low light performance is alright on Auto mode but if you know how to take picture on Manual mode then it's a lot better especially with a tiny touch of Snapseed for sharing. :P
[LG G5 Real Life Review] duffguy123:
I had to change the camera because the OEM camera began to malfunction with it's zooming. I think it's ok now as the replacement was supposed to be OEM.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] KashtanA:
Need normal lighting for photos only and autofocus want quickly
[LG G5 Real Life Review] manganoid:
Lotta noise in low light-very disappointing, but yes, has good details and yes, clean the camera glass often, it really makes a difference.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] xxmarkosxx:
Very bad quality, the fault is in lg camera app. With Gcamera the quality is very good, but with this app I cannot save in sd only in internal
[LG G5 Real Life Review] drmilosh:
Except you can save to the sd card and the app itself is decent. Quality too (although it varies from really bad to good)
[LG G5 Real Life Review] xxmarkosxx:
you can save in sdcard with Gcam? I know with lg's camera app you can do that, but I don't use it anymore. It's like the internet explorer in g5.

G3 was better!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] rowihel2012:
No way bro

My v10 has fantastic camera:confused:
[LG G5 Real Life Review] xanderin:
This thread is about the G5's camera, so that's irrelevant... Unless, of course, they use the same camera and I didn't know?

But I still agree with you. I don't see how that's possible that the G3 has a better camera.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] rowihel2012:
yea they have the same sensor

and i had g3 it has bad cam beside my lg v10
[LG G5 Real Life Review] mikeyinid:
I came from the S7 and before that the iPhone 6s Plus. I can't take decent photos with the G5 to save my life. It's frustrating.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] krk2krk:
What?? Is it true that G5 has worst camera ? Phonearena says it has best camera when compared with S7 and 6s plus.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] mikeyinid:
If you put it in manual mode and mess with it a bit it'll take great pics. Auto mode sucks. For me at least. And yes, I've made sure the lens is clean and all that.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] krk2krk:
I understand. But it is hard to take all the pics in manual mode. I have G3 now and planning to by G5 in a couple of months and it seems i have to rethink about G5. :(
[LG G5 Real Life Review] ryanpm40:
Yeah, this phone takes great manual photos, but that's about it. The anti-shake was way better in the G4 over the G5- does the G5 no longer have the laser focus? It was incredible how good the pictures were with the flash off on the G4; in my experience, most phones (including Samsung) take shaky photos with flash off, and are able to focus much better with flash on.

Also, like in all LG phones, panorama is completely useless. They should just get rid of the feature altogether. It doesn't matter how slow or steady I move, everything always comes out jagged. Very annoying.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] NightOrchid:
yeah, I feel the same, my dads G3 camera is awesome... but even under the the G5s latest v10d, the images were clearer and OIS was more stable on the G4 in AUTO mode. I do use Manual mode alot, but sometimes its nice just to pull out your phone and snap a quick situation or a few quick images.

Intrestingly, I find sometimes in "Auto" mode, switiching "OIS" OFF (toggle "OIS" and "steady cam" mode in camera settings), takes better Macro shots, which says to me.. that in its current state, the G5 camera needs work.

However, the G5 camera is a really great camera and a really great device all round, its just a shame reviewers seem to go more for how it looks rather than its innovations
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Diomorgan:
Mine are crisper and more detailed with g4, specially the front canera. Could be this due to an high compression? Maybe there's a trick to loer jpeg compression!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Mery Alpes:
G3 was far better..!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
Nonsense.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] vainqueur:
LOL! The worst camera comparison in history. I am not saying G5 is the best but it is certainly not what the website said it was.

Hey look! Comments section was closed. Go figures.

Anyway, the last close up shot was the worst! No reputable review site would use close up image more than 100%. These are camera sensor made for phones, they are not meant to be zoom beyond 100%.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] brancangekibe:
I Love this phone's Cameras: my pics are coming out better, sharper and better balanced than any other phone i have had my hands on this months and that includes: 6s, 6s+, G4, and S7. Of course this is subjective but i really LOVE the camera. (Auto mode is meh tough when compared to 6s', need to be objective there. I was taking a pic today: my girlfriend's face with a stongly lighted background _door in the sun_ and even if messing wigh manual mode gave me the best pic, auto mode just wasn't keeping it up with my gf's 6s which gave out a decent picture immediately.)

Gotta be honest. (Of course i didn't tell her ;))
[LG G5 Real Life Review] younngblood:
I'm somehow disappointed. The camera oversharpens the pictures most of the time. But the wide-angle camera

always

oversharpens them. I wonder if it could be fixed with a newer software? Also the pictures get blurry at the slightest movement. But it's still a good camera.

4/5
[LG G5 Real Life Review] sjp333:
very high
[LG G5 Real Life Review] Hreidmar:
Camera is very good especially in Manual mode but one thing I found out about the Auto mode that HDR tends to blur details a lot more when zoomig in than taking picture with HDR option turned Off. Hope they improve the camera on Nougat update. :)
[LG G5 Real Life Review] benchmade707:
I'm also pretty disappointed with the quality of the G5 pictures in auto mode. Not that they're bad or anything, but I find myself having to take multiple pictures to get acceptable results, particularly in poor lighting. Never had that issue with my G4.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] sstanton86:
Weird.

I've just got back from Iceland, and can say that this phone out performed itself. Nothing better than that second wide angle lense on some of the white, barren landscape. Some of my photos looked absolutely incredible!

I even managed a few shaky images of the northern lights (didn't bring my tripod that night!).

Love this phone!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
Yep, I know what you mean. I find the wide angle camera incredible for travel. I just wish they will provide a better lens and sensor for the next gen. Few trips to Europe made me feel so good about choosing the G5 over the S7 Edge. You can't beat LG camera set right now.

[LG G5 Real Life Review] demonkc135:
I've used the LG G5 for about a month and I'm disappointed. Most new (2016) smartphones take nice outdoor pictures of things that don't move much. Go inside and try to photograph your kid dribbling up/down the court with this phone and you'll be frustrated. Indoor pics with any kind of movement is a guaranteed blurry picture. I've turned OIS off and tried the same thing today at my son's birthday party (indoors at the skate rink), poor focus and slow shots.

I've had the S7 and it takes much better pictures of things in motion (has a fast focus/sports mode)... This phone is going bye bye soon because of this one issue.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
I knew the S7 was better in low light with moving objects when I got the G5. I do tink the G5 camera is much more capable camera than the sammy's. But I did tell anyone who asked me, if you are going to shoot photos of children/pets indoors, get the S7. I just hated that the S7 can only do 10 seconds long exposure, just 800 ISO, no wide angle (or any secondary lens) and 4:3 ratio which leaves me with just 9MP if I want to use 16:9 (and I always do). Try using manual mode (higher ISO) or use a flash.

[LG G5 Real Life Review] sidehop:
It's nothing exciting but the ultra wide angle is neat...so as long as you want to fix the distortion in Lightroom or another software. Then again iI shoot real estate with Canon 5D MKIII so I'm not expecting anything but mediocre results with any smartphones...
[LG G5 Real Life Review] manganoid:
I have my h860 for a month and the camera is somewhat disappointing in Auto mode and Panorama is buggy as hell. Not too impressed.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] galr:
The camera is pretty great if you just manual mode. Regarding the wide angle lens. After 1.5 years I can tell you that this is the best feature on LG phones. The wide angle is the reason I won't buy a different brand right now. I don't mind the distortion at all, an 11mm lens will have distortion, it's part of having ultra wide angle. I actually find it contributing to the wide angle effect.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] sidehop:
I tried with RAW mode and it's not terrible. But I agree the wide angle lens even with distortion is great for photos you normally cannot capture without having to use the panorama (which I don't care for in general). Quick and easy!
[LG G5 Real Life Review] PhantasmRezound:
I didn't have time to set up video or get the very best pictures of today's eclipse without any DSLR to my name, but I'm glad I had the G5 by my side to record this event for family. Attached a few pics made with G5 and a 12x telephoto lens attachment for smartphones.
[LG G5 Real Life Review] stu.cz:
I absolutely agree - G5 camera needs new post-process

I had LG G4 and it made famous pictures in JPEG. LG G5 makes pictures which are smoothed first and than over-sharpened and over-contrasted. It look terrible and pictures are shows an untruth. DNG pictures look good. If I use some RAW editor I can get good JPEG picture from G5 DNG file so there is a potential for good pictures. But I have no time for convert em to JPEGs every day.

It's a shame that LG didn't release any batch convertor for DNG to JPEG convert.

Now I have seen compare pictures between G5 and G6. G6 makes awesome pictures in JPEG again.

------ Please is here anybody who can make NEW camera driver with new post-prosess for G5 with minimal interferences to smoothing and sharpening!!!!

Look at attached compare picture. First is DNG second is original camera JPEG and last is edited picture in RawTherapee with minimum interference - all 100 percent crop.

Look at my daughter face or at the reflections on the water. It looks terrible at original JPEG :(

link: ibb.co/eLa9PF

I have another question:

Can anyone make and upload some picture for compare between original LG G5 cam and Fulmics rom G6 cam?

Thanks

Stu
[LG G5 Real Life Review] usmcnyc:
I must admit I took a (cheap) leap of faith and purchased a used G5 because of some of the camera reviews. I had family come visit from South America and sent pics back to the family and they were amazed at some of the snaps I was able to take. One even asked me what kind of DSLR I had lol. Just wish battery life was better on this...
[LG G5 Real Life Review] nero30:
if you don't like the over processed look of the out of cam jpeg's, espacially in low light conditions, you should try the google pixel cam with hdr+ (4.4). Have a look at the pictures taken with LG's camera app and the google cam in 1:1, and you see thats it is the LG software that "destroys" the data coming from the sensor ;)

pixel-cam

LG-cam

and the pixel-cam used higher iso then LG's cam...
[LG G5 Real Life Review] usmcnyc:
Link to the pixel cam?
[LG G5 Real Life Review] stu.cz:
I know Google Pixel cam and I am using it. But not for every moments because it has some problems.

1. Lens blur mode doesn't work in modded Google cam. 4.4 (and original from Google play use same postprocessor like LG)

2. It has not manual mode :(

3. It use higher iso - more iso = more noise (this is not so important)

4. It cannot use second wide camera :(

The points no.2 and no.4 are what I miss in Google cam.

If someone can "move" Google cam. postprocessor to the LG cam. I will be glad.
