Use a blue light filter app from play store. I use one called night filter. It makes everything on screen a bit more red but gets rid of retention 100% for me. Good luck!

        AnonD-666414, 29 May 2017I want to buy this... Is any bootloop issue in this device?? Any user got bootloop?Enough with the G5 bootloop. Enough. It was LGs with the 808SD processor in 2015 that had the major bootloop problem. Yes there are problems with G5 but bootloop is not prevalent one.

        IF this was a major problem then I have no doubt that: IF G5 BOOTLOOP WAS MAJOR PROBLEM THEN AT LEAST 50% OF POSTS HERE WOULD BE BOOTLOOP COMPLAINTS! Sorry I'm not yelling at you but I'm just tired of hearing about people talking about G5 bootloop issues here and I don't see complaints from G5 OWNERS about bootlooping.

        But to answer your question: be more worried that LG G5 has more screen problems than bootloop problems. I owned one since Sept '16. I know 2 others that had one. Screen light bleed and screen retention issues. They upgraded to Android 7 and then phone sucked to use and got did of G5. I am still on Android 6. No bootloop. None of us. Not once.

        Still awesome phone: fast, extra batteries and wide angle cam is why I still have it... that and waiting until I see v30, iPhone 8 and pixel 2 to upgrade. I recommend G5 IF you get for good price.

                I simply love the design of this phone with the removable battery,I think it's genius and yet alot of people think it's rubbish but at least LG pulled it off whereas all the other companies just seal there phones and yeah the G6 is sealed now but the G5 is special because of the removable battery option.

                  After more than three months, still my favorite smartphone I have ever used. V20 does have a better screen and battery life but I still prefer the design, size, and the louder external speaker of my G5.

                  I use my G5 mostly as a media player for songs, videos, and games. There is no sim in it since my Sprint variant can't read my Verizon sim and can't get data with the T-Mobile. Only calls and texts with TMo. But I usually bring it with me because it holds all my media files and to play games like Ninja Arashi.

                  Typing on my G5 right now and still smoother than my SD820 S7 edge. The PS Vita of smartphones. Great but simply overlooked and criminally underrated.

                      Go for the LG G5 if you want a replaceable battery because after a year the battery does degrade especially if you use quick charging alot and also the G5 has excellent battery life in my opinion compared to the htc 10 and also if you want a always on display which the htc 10 doesn't have but once you get use to using the always on display it's invaluable.
                      The screen is also bigger on the G5 also and it's nice and clear and the software experience on the G5 I think makes every day operations quicker to do.

                      Go for the htc 10 if you want better sound for watching videos and listening to music from the speakers on the phone and also if you want excellent build quality and also if you like to customize your phone using the htc software but the battery life is not the best on the htc 10 in my opinion and the screen is smaller than the G5 also but it is better for colours and brightness.

                      To be fair I would go with the G5 because I use mine as my daily driver whereas my htc 10 is more of a back up phone now.

                              I didn't have Google assistant on my G5 in the UK but I changed my main language to English (United States) and now I have it.
                              Just posting this if anyone doesn't have it on there G5 you could do what I did and you should get the assistant.
