Have had my G5 for almost 2 years (it'll be 2 in September).
GPS failed after 1. I opened the phone, following the directions from other users on YouTube, and fixed the contacts. That made it work like new again for a few months, but now back to usual. It will strangely only work in coastal areas but not in cities. This failing GPS is a common issue among G5 owners, thus the youtube videos (crazy!).
The primary (non-wide) camera sensor started to fail a few months back. I literally have to hit the phone to get it to focus.
Fingerprint sensor is good...when it works. Sometimes it is solid for long periods of time. Others? It is erratic or non-functional (non-functional at time of writing).
Battery is small (2600 mah). Once you start wearing it down, the battery will barely last. Need to buy new ones frequently.

It's not much a big deal but you would thought it could've been better as me as my S7 edge shines better than this one. Keep in your mind that we're living in the same country :-)

Rm599 is very good deal but the model is h830 which is from t-mobile carrier but the seller says it compatible with all carrier in my country malaysia. The thing i am very concerned is the display. Gsmarena said it has low screen brightness since i lived in country with under excessive bright sunlight.

Nick OnGoogle, 15 Jul 2018Things I love about the fabulous LG G5
The Screen :
- it's stunning
- always registers ... moreBest comment ever for the LG G5.
It isn't a perfect by any means. I do get some minor image retention. Not a common occurrence as my previous G5 or my V20, but it shows up from time to time. It's been around for two years. I've used one since February 2017. It's still my favorite smartphone I have ever used. Perfect size too. I love my silver G5 RS988!
I think the LG G5 and iPhone SE are by far my two favorites from both the Android/iOS platforms. LG G5 has everything I want and iPhone SE still offered headphone jack, metal back, and no hideous notch. For me, 2016 was the last great year for smartphones.
I also use an LG V20 and Moto E4. With all four together, I just don't have the urge to buy anymore new phones. I see the Essential for $250 on Amazon and while that's a bargain, I still don't have any real urge to get one. First time in a long time I'm content with my phones that can last me years until they break down. I hate this current era of smartphones.

as a mobile tablet I cant fault it. runs ever app without problems, updates are easy and i does not overheat as much as my G3 did
However, using it as a phone I am disappointed - it is nowhere as good as the G3. The cell signal pick up is not as good. I have to talk to all callers using speaker phone or head phones as the built in speaker is so very quiet.
On my old G3 i could set all my media notifications to silent yet still have call ringing at full volume so I could hear incoming calls - i thought i had the same settings on this G5 but I never hear my phone ring.
I cant wait for my contract to be up so I can change this phone for something else
