pimpim, 09 Apr 2016Are there any specs on the charger, does it support QC3.0 or is it USB type C standard 5v 3A?It is type c with quickcharge 3.0

Battery life is better than average even though it has a smaller battery. Most of that is due to the Snapdragon 820 being a quad core chip (810 was octa core). Word is bigger batteries are available since the magicslot allow you to swap batteries out, but I haven't seen them yet.

Anyone who has taken a look here has seen that list multiple times. A number of those things are definitely valuable, but repeated identical postings get annoying. At this point I'm inclined to suspect you're either a bot or someone compensated by LG. Personally, I like the IR, but others may find water resistance more valuable.

                    The data on GSMArena is incomplete. They're missing the bands for the LS992 (Sprint). It would be helpful if the page listing the bands (http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3) listed the band #s and it would be rather valuable to list which carriers in which countries are using those bands.

Yes, more people said design design design!!! But performance is more important. They forgot that. I love it. Because I want a mobile for my use, like calling, browse internet, play apps/games, camera, listen music and etc. Not for show beauty contest. LG g5 battery life is ok, not worst. But I can filled battery within one minute by changing battery. Its has QC 3.0 . I never use phone under water. So I don't want water resistant. It will decrease phones volume. Lg ux is better than touchwiz. Lg ux more effective.

The camera is one of the best on the market, and LG's camera software is WAY better than Samsung's, there is manual mode, and the setting are way more customizable. I agree, the camera looks terrible tho. The DAC that is in the Hi-fi audio Friend is unbelievable, no other phone can have a 32 bit DAC. Also, it has a REMOVABLE BATTERY AND MICRO SD card slot. How can you say it has terrible battery life if you can just slip another one in? LG is even giving an extra battery and external battery charger This is the only flagship that has both. If you care about how sexy your phone is, then buy the S7, if you care about functionality, then buy the G5. Touchwiz is also S**t. Don't diss something if you don't know what you're talking about.

                          But a month ago i went for the S7 Edge and it's impeccable...i decided against the G5 because of battery and design. I am now literally shooting videos underwater and my phone lasts 2 days with medium to heavy usage...it's truly stunning overall...so at the moment, samsung is back at the top in the android domain...
