LG G5 review

The G5 is LG’s attempt at starting a modular smartphone revolution. It’s a 5.3‑inch Android smartphone running all the latest specs, but its special feature is the ability to plug in external modules that enhance its camera controls, battery life, and audio. It’s certainly the start of something new, but is it any good?

i like the background music. i feel that those who don’t have a short attention span
It should be the law that all phones mut be passed by the verge or people like MKBHD before they are put to market. It would be so easy for the perfect smartphone these days and phones are always so close but lacking one feature that turns me off buying it.
Kool fone 🙂 mayb I should get cases dat replaces da modules n GIVS protection as wel as modularity.
very dirty audio not clear not able to understand
I feel like his complaints was just petty, because there wasn’t much to hate about it. Some things he b****ed about were things that aren’t really possible or cheap enough to do.Such as not having to reboot the phone after changing out a part! Does he not know that if you take a phone battery out it can’t function at all. but if there was an extra battery in there I’m sure he’d find something wrong with it. I bet the modular pieces won’t match the phone color thats the beauty of it, different parts giving bringing different experiences. so of course third party modules won’t match the phone exactly. It was a pretty well though out process I’m sure it will be refined The phone isn’t awkward to hold you was just hating on it so much you couldn’t find the beauty. I felt like this review was putting down a real breakthrough in the industry, by exposing its minor flaws. He asked if the phone was any good I feel like he doesn’t think so for the wrong reasons. I see a damn good phone, and I’m a apple user.
as much a modular phone as it is a gimmick.
Removable Battery.…. CHECK! Never will I plugged to a wall while using my phone.
Camera Grip with Extra Battery and a Wide Angle Top Class Camera .…. Hello Concerts / Vacations!
Great pictures on a long lasting phone.
Dedicated DAC.….. At home listening to music, mate!
Times-are-a-changing and so will your phone…!
they made the phone rather clunky for modules that are a pain to switch out and don’t really add to the experience or make the phone perform better… wow.. good job lg
No one think he sounds like franky1080???
Getting mine tomorrow 🙂
Terrible terrible review
its funny how people criticise the look of this phone.
covered with plastic: people be like “meh looks cheap to me“
covered with metal: people be like “phone is overheating, non removable battery this phone sucks”
removable battery + metal + rubberized plastic: people be like “still ugly shit and feels pretty cheap”
non removable battery + glass +metal = people be like “looks and feels premium but it is very slippery. non removable battery? thats disappointing”

whats wrong with his accent? I understand nothing.
I refuse to believe that this is “modular” — this is half assed modular. Nice try LG, but no.
There are way more modules for the G5…
REKT
the review is like a 6 year old reading directly from a textbook.… anyone can do the review if you were going to read from the script…
I don’t think the extras were a good idea. I liked the LG G4 better but then again, I never owned any of them. Just from all the YouTube videos. Even after watching all the videos I would take the G4 over the G5.
Tough review.
Witch the best iphone 6s or LG G5
I’m sorry but wtf is this guy saying?
Many American companies are deliberately trying to showcase LG in a poor light, including magazines, channels like these etc.
why?
someone please tell verge people it’s not an iPhone. also fact of the matter is like s7 edge g5 kicked butt big time. they actually came up with something new which everyone in stagnant market didn’t.
why do you treat this phone like it is only a modular phone, the modular part is the gimmick, but the rest of the phone is near perfection
I slightly disagree. The fact that it supports modules DOES make me want the G5 more than any other phone. It’s mostly because of the camera module. Imagine going on vocation and right before leaving you snap your camera module on and so you’ll be able to take pictures during the journey with easy, plus the battery will last longer.
0:07 you mean aluminium, right?
This isn’t a review.
dude… u sick?
An internal battery that could hold the power while you’re exchanging the mods would be helpful.
