I dislike everything about this phone but what I dislike most, what infuriates me about it, is it's deeply offensive auto-correct for text messages. How DARE YOU correct my foul words! How dare you auto-correct a 42 year old profession's f-cking swear words. At the very least it should be programmed to LEARN over time and stop auto correcting my curses. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that there is some un-intuitive way to shut the stupid auto-correct off but I know that the fix will be incredibly difficult to find, like everything on this phone (e.g. the voice-mail recordings cannot be found in the phone function... wtf!?). The voice-mails are hidden on the second screen in a sub-folder... until you find it and move it to where it should be, next to the f-ing phone button. Long story short, if you are trying to find an adequate iphone replacement to save some money... don't. The Android operating systems are NOT even remotely intuitive or user friendly and if you are a current iphone user, the nonsensical interface of the Android OS will likely drive you cuckoo. The phone is also made of very cheap and fragile materials, especially the screen which scratches and cracks if you drop it on a carpeted floor (had my iphone 4S for many years, dropped on concrete while standing 6ft tall, with no scratches and NO cracks). Frankly, I find it offensive that Android and LG would subject consumers to this sorry excuse for a phone. It isn't worth $50, let alone the hundreds of dollars your cell company will charge you. Perhaps I am completely insane but I would much rather pay more money for quality than save a few hundred on a pile of electronic crap. Just for some background... the only reason I switched from iphone was because I was getting tired of Apple releasing iphone updates that made the OS LESS user friendly. Now I know that no matter how much Apple screws up the iphone's OS, it will never-ever be as awful as an Android or HTC.

        Im using G5 Asian set , so far this phone serve me very well , after using it for about 8 month the battery stamina decreased about 35% , kinda okay because sometimes i do overcharged the phone , just got my new battery today , so far the stamina of the phone has been restored . The Processor is powerful and actually quite a battery saver because of the Battery capacity is just 2800mah but the phone can last about 12h++ of SOT ( new battery ) kinda impressive for me . The Photos taken from this phone is SUPERB , jaw dropping , using the wide shot mode , the manual mode , makes u feel like a pro . Overall the phone is great , just nice but the design a bit kinda ....haha i dont know what to say about the design im speachless haha . Hopefully this device will get Android O updates .

                Battery must be constantly charged; screen hard to see outdoors even at highest brightness. Rear power switch turns the unit on whenever laying on a flat service; very annoying. Difficult to switch apps from internal storage to memory card.

                  Don't buy this shit phone, I just used for 1 year, recently I got a bootloop and yesterday It didn't turn on. I paid 800 for just 1 year, that's the stupid thing I did.

                        Wiz, 07 Sep 2017Lg g5 or samsung galaxy s7?Most likely the Galaxy S7 will get longer support time than the G5, that with OS updates and ultimately with security patches.

                          I do love my htc u11 but I admit bein able to control my TV and sky box never gets old with my G5 and I wish my U11 had infrared remote control also but it seems it's bein done away with now with all the latest phones.

                          The G5 is such a great smartphone but everyone seems to pull it down or dismiss it but it deserves so much more of good recognition instead of bad.

                                  Does anyone notice the camera of this phone that when you take a phone during night time with the flash turned on , photos are somewhat yellowish. I have to adjust the photo quality using google photos app auto enhance mode to straightened out the photo quality.
