24, 20 Jul 2017still worth buying today? how the nougat update here in the california? thanksYES. But...
Be prepared for image retention. Many user report this issue. Happened to my G5 after about 8 months. Solved with an app called Blue Light Filter.
I also have issues with lightbleed at edges. Can see when using fullscreen videos along black borders. Used to it now but still sucks no fix unless I replace screen.
Had to change power button and bottom piece after it got soaked with beer. So don't pour beer on your
G5 and should be fine. Or get a lifeproof case :D
I don't have issue with GPS or Bluetooth but some users report problems.
And I'm still on marshmallow. Too many reports of problems on Nougat. I still get 4hrs screen time, 15hrs use from original battery and 4.5-5hrs and 18hrs use on second battery. 50% bright ness.
It has a curved screen at top so tempered screen protectors don't fully protect. The ones that do curve aren't sticky at the top so dust gets in. I dont use protector anymore and I dont have any scratches.
Its a slippery phone and I've dropped it so on sides I have some scuffs. But its pretty tough.
Headphones don't sound as good as G6 or V20 but speaker is loud.
But I still love my G5 and didn't upgrade to G6 because:
-Battery life is same and can change anytime. In the last 6months I've only ever been connected to a charger a few times. And when battery degrades I just get a new one.
-G5 has same size storage, led notifier, IR blaster, and better selfie cam.
-Not enough for me to upgrade. Yes, G6 better with water resistant, screen size vs body size, wireless charging, wide angle better and its prettier. But after using my friends for a bit, I don't think it was worth spending on the next model. Don't get me wrong, G6 is a great phone but the G5 is still fast enough for me. I'd rather wait for the bigger OLED LG V30 or th LG made Pixel2 (with front facing speaker?)

Hello LG G5 users. I know some of your handsets is plagued with Image retention issue. There is a software solution to metigate the problem. Use a software called 'Screen Filter' from Haxor industry. Set the screen brightness to 88%. For most part your screen quality isn't altered and the retention problem is metigated. I used this software workaround for quite some time and it worked out well. Hope this helps!
To permanently solve the issue ask for screen replacement. I did it and since then no image retention issue!

i am trying to find any service outlet in any country to see why taking fotos of orange always come out yellow ? bright orange is bright yellow. I tried many cams..
Anyone might know of an internal gama adjustment or a LG support office. I've tried all on facebook from europe to Asia. USA LG told me that only in USA do they offer support.

This phone is a great bargain when you consider that it benchmarks very close to the Google Pixel XL.
I really love the camera on it and the wide angle is fantastic in good light. I've had one for over a year and the only problem is that the rear camera lens does get scratched when not protected by a case or film.
The ability to have a spare (charged) battery for it when I'm traveling is great.
