Great outdoor visibility, Intriguing modular design, Stellar battery life, 3D Touch input, Quality software ecosystem
The LG G5 comes with a brand new modular chassis and a dual camera solution that amount to a unique phone amongst this season's flagships. It is smaller and easier to handle than the iPhone 6s Plus, though the craftsmanship leaves something to be desired...

Great performance, Dual-camera setup is fun, fascinating, Modular design has potential
The first add-on accessories aren't great, Fit and finish doesn't impress, Middling battery life
LG's choice to build a modular flagship smartphone is so brave it borders on nutty -- too bad the phone doesn't live up to its potential. It's a powerful smartphone with an inspired approach to photography, but it feels like LG made too many compromis...

A removable battery, One of the rare flagships with support for Google's alwayson voice commands, USB TypeC makes this phone ready for the future, Snapdragon 820 has good performance and the phone's battery life is acceptable if not exceptional, A dec
The bottom release mechanism just isn't good enough. It holds the bottom part on unevenly, and on one side is so loose you can see through it, LG carved an awful groove around the back of the phone, and the edges are pretty sharp, A microSD card, great
lackluster lowlight performance, dual window removed from software, uninspiring design
The G5 is a step in a new direction for LG and brings a brand new design, dual cameras, and modular capabilities while still staying true to what an LG phone should be. With the new modular concept, it's not just about what the G5 can do now but rather, w...

Even if you have no interest in LG's modular functionality (which is yet to prove itself worthwhile), the G5 is still well worth considering as your next full-time smartphone. The dual camera setup is brilliant, offering impressive flexibility, while perf...
Move to metal construction is step in the right direction, Flagship class display, performance, and camera, Dual-camera system has massive creative potential, Friends modules prove situationally useful
Plagued by lack of refinement, Saddled with carrier bloatware, Overshadowed by better smartphone alternatives, Extra modules don't add enough value yet
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
Great main camera, Beautiful display, Excellent fingerprint scanner, Wide-angle camera is useful, Modular design can be cool
Metal body doesn't feel premium, Battery life is average
The LG G5 is a great phone that suffers from living in the Galaxy S7's shadow. If the modular design is something that seems useful to you, the G5 is the obvious choice. The G5 doesn't quite live up to the hype of a modular phone, but it's still a very so...
The LG G5 is a really good phone, overall, just not the best phone at the moment. LG is introducing some interesting ideas with it, like modules and dual cameras, but the module status at the moment is pretty weak and uninteresting, while the dual came...
Cool modular design, Great wide-angle camera, Solid performance
Bland look, Below-average battery life, Heavy-handed software interface
I love that LG is trying to change things up with the G5's modularity, but overall the feature feels rushed. When unveiling the phone in February, LG touted a Hi-Fi module that was supposed to improve the phone's audio output, but the accessory in questio...
Replaceable battery, wideangle camera, useful camera modes, flexible home buttons
Fit and finish isn't up to similarly priced phones, not water resistant, screen technology not as good as others in its class
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 on...
