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
This is the phone to get if you want a removable battery, but it fails to live up to its world-changing Swiss Army Knife potential...
Three big companies, three flagship phones, three very different target markets and design theories.The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are the most ambitious. The company is both aiming at the general smartphone market as it's evolved and ho...
A full metal design, Wide angle rear camera, Neat alwayson display
Uninspiring look, No more app drawer, Alwayson screen is a battery drain
The LG G5 plants a new flag in the company's flagship phone series, with a metal design, side-mounted buttons and a brand new always-on display. Just don't look for the flashiest device or some of the best features from the LG V10...

The LG G5 is one of the most interesting smartphones I've seen since the days of the LG Optimus 3D, and for that, I find myself predisposed to liking it. The trouble with the G5 is that, although ingenious, I'm not convinced it's enough to get consumers t...
Excellent Camera, Great Design, Modular Aspect Has Potential, Excellent Performance, Great Battery Life, All Metal Design With Zero Antenna Bands
Modular Aspect Feels A Little Beta At Present, Switching Modules Is Clunky
A lot of people seem non-plussed by the G5; some even claim it looks boring and lacks the charm of last year's model. I 100% disagree with this sentiment — the G5 is a vastly superior device to what came before. It has enough new features, attributes and...

The LG G5 has a plain look, side-mounted volume buttons, a fingerprint sensor and a 5.3-inch display, making it like the metal version of the Nexus 5X with an extra tenth of an inch. That's okay, because LG also built the Nexus 5X and it was a great phone...
