I refused to update since I heard bad things about android N on this phone. I know 2 others who had a G5 and upgraded. One said it was good for the features and other than that battery life stayed the same just a wee bit better if she just left it alone. She has been on N for over 2mos now.
My other buddy sold his G5 b/c battery life dropped badly and it got hot while charging or other demanding games and videos. Says he loved G5 for gaming and had 12-14hrs use even though he was a gamer. After N was down to 9-10 hrs and running hot.
I'm glad I didn't update b/c I already got burned by updating old G4. Had screen time of 4hrs reduced to 3hrs after update to MM for G4. Sold it a month later b/c it never got better and heard it would not see N to fix battery sucking. I still love my G5 and will not update. If I sell it I will let the new owner update if they want.
Just my opinion and experiences by 2 other G5 owners so just Google if you need more opinions too. Good luck :]

I was "upgraded" to this phone when my V10 broke. Asurion assured me it was comparable. I used mine mainly for the camera and internet browsing and texting.
I like the slim design,nice looking, comfortable to hold, nice sized screen and good battery life.
However, the camera doesn't come close to the v10, memory is absolutely a joke and every time it updates I need to delete or disable another app to make room for it; I can't even update emails until I "make room". Too many apps they automatically added that I dont use, yet I can't delete them... So I'm constantly trying to reprioritize the ones I want, because they're the only ones I can delete (that's why I left iphone! I wanted to make my own choices, not be forced to use what the manufacturer thinks I should user). Finally, I have had to resort to using my iphone for calls because this phone constantly thinks it's roaming and out of country in my own backyard. Verizon can't figure it out and attributes it to the phone, which I am assuming must be the case because my work iphone is, and my previous V10 was on the same Verizon network.
Maybe its because Asurion gave me a poorly refurbed phone... All I do know is I hate it.

I decided to stay on MM 6.0.1 with my G5 although I easily could have updated to 7. But I read Nougat eats up a little more RAM and slightly more battery life.
My G5 has the worst standby time vs my S7e and Pixel both on Nougat but it isn't that bad at 2% overnight and SOT is decent. I wanted the new and improved Doze but decided against it.
I like the notification system and settings menu better on the G5. I didn't want Nougat to change it as well as I didn't want to lose the Flappy Android Easter egg.
Nougat is fine on both my S7e and Pixel but I wouldn't say I noticed a huge difference between it vs G5 on Marshmallow. G5 on MM is pretty smooth already. Curious if G5 on N improves battery life though.

I downgraded to marshmallow by visiting LG service center. Nougat is very irritating. Battery issue, play store app update issue in roaming mobile data network.

AnonD-308035, 14 Apr 2017I want to buy new phone but can't decide between g5 and HTC 10I had the HTC 10 for a week why I chose to return and keep G5:
All cameras seemed better and wide angle is awesome, rear finger print coupled with knock knock code, IR blaster, charges to 100 way faster, 5hrs screen on time, and number one reason:
Replaceable battery.
And I actually don't have any modules but in all honesty what an amazing concept to have a removeable chin. I spilled beer on my LG and had to replace my power button.
But then... Just recently I guess the liquid damage finally reared its ugly head again and my charging port and speaker were working on and off. Unreliable and frustrating. But then... It was a $20 solution. I bought a new chin on online and no more problems. Even the clips to the battery were solid again.
So yeah I'm still loving my G5... But then again... I also still hate seeing the lightbleed on farmers screen images. Meh. Ill still keep her as a backup when I upgrade though ;D
