        AnonD-474377, 09 May 2017I'm in dire need of an upgrade...and I'm in love with the G5 but all this boot loop speculatio... moreThe boot loop problem was the G4 and hysteria has made it be prevalent to other lg phones and the chances of you picking up a G5 with boot loop are very slim indeed,like winning the lottery chances with it.

        I have had a G5 5 months now and it's a excellent device and it's my daily driver also and I do have a Htc 10 but that ain't as good as my G5,no way.
        My G5 has had zero problems and it works perfectly and sure the build quality isn't brilliant but I have mine in a love mei case anyways so I don't see that so it doesn't bother me but as far as I'm concerned I love the ability to replace the battery and the always on display is brilliant and it's very hard to go to another phone that doesn't have a always on display.

        I absolutely recommend the G5 and I would honestly say if I thought it was rubbish but it's a very good smartphone

          I'm in dire need of an upgrade...and I'm in love with the G5 but all this boot loop speculation has me terrified to own one. Can an owner of one provide me with a second opinion on whether I should get one?

            => 528MB / (4 min * 60 secs)

            This implies good detail for each frame.

              Bigger battery. And bigger screen. It has 2 screens actually. ;D

              I actually would have bought it as an upgrade but the thing really is huge but it feels like it could take a beating. But the G5 has better low light front cam. Yeah, I take a lot of group selfies at the bar and at parties. Yeah we vain and phone companies know it ;P

                Pretty sick phone. Should have been made with a larger screen and a bigger battery. Beautiful screen, though, for an IPS. A million times better than the G4.

                          Been using my G5 since 9 this morning when it was at 100% battery and I'm currently at 4 hours screen on time at half 9 at night with 5% battery left.

                          Not bad to be fair for the size of the battery the G5 has.

                                Mr Grey, 03 May 2017I do love my G5 but I admit I do miss the big screen of my G4 and especially the v10 I had and... moreLast night, the V20 initially lagged during setup and got hot. Probably has to do with all the bloated T-Mobile apps downloading. Happened to my S7 edge setup too. Probably a TMo thing. This did NOT happened to my G5 or Pixel though.

                                I noticed the micro-lag early on when browsing. Then I did the typical 0.5x animations, turned off auto update in Google Play settings and auto sync, rid of Facebook, installed SwiftKey, and everything is pretty smooth now. I do believe the G5 is more sensitive to my touch. Will install Nova Prime later and see how it goes.

                                I really didn't think I would like the huge screen but ever since I got my Note 3 has a hand me down just six months ago, I got used to these "surfboard" phones pretty quickly. Typing on my 5" phones like the Pixel feels kinda cramped now.

                                Hopefully, the V20 will be a pretty great phone like the G5 and Pixel are. Those two seem a tad smoother than it so far. I could return it in two weeks for a refund but there is a $50 restocking fee. I already like typing on it far more than the annoying S7 edge curved display.

                                I don't like where LG is headed this year and going for sealed battery on flagships. V30 might go sealed. Removable battery, ftw! G5 and V20 could be the last of their breed among flagships. Both underrated af too.

                                The image retention on my G5 does not bother me at all and goes away. I like the second screen. I put the Philippines flag emoji from SwiftKey along with my name (???'s) and LG V20.

                                3. Pixel

                                Haven't tested the battery or camera yet on the V20 but I expect it to be pretty good. Speaker sound is pretty good to on par with G5 which makes it louder than S7e and Pixels. Haven't tested the internal audio yet but I did like it having a FM radio app. My G5 needed a third-party FM radio app and can only hear from the headphones. No speaker mode. Don't like NextRadio. Too many ads.

                                I see comments saying the G5, V20, and Pixel are all UGLY. LOL! Those users missed out on the meaning of life! I actually get alot more attention with them than the common Samsungs. G5, V20, and Pixel are far more rare where I live. I prefer owning phones not everybody has. Within just a day, I can already sense I will enjoy V20 far more than the overrated S7 edge.

                                  I can get a V20 for alot less than the G6 and it has way more features also,plus obviously the removable battery.

                                    Hello Guy. I just want to ask do i have to turn on something in the settings to have my OTG be read by the G5? I just bought a USAMS type c adaptor and used my old flash drive but its not being read. as in no response at all. I don't know if the adaptor is not compatible or the format is not supported or other reasons.

                                      I just got a V20 like 30 minutes ago! Titan grey but it looks more matte black to me. I was supposed to use the $528 rebate card I got in the mail to pay off the S7 edge instead. I ended up getting a 10th phone and 5th one with removable battery for $538 total ($480 + extra upgrade fee and taxes) I think this V20 is security in case I sell off my S7 edge this weekend.

                                      I love LG. We will see how this goes with my T-Mobile sim going to the V20. The Sprint G5 is my gaming and browser phone. Pixel is my Verizon. Just couldn't enjoy curved display and laggy Samsung software. V20 is set to be in my Top 3. Kinda having G5 and V20 is redundant but I don't care. Removable battery is a must for me. A peace of mind for the longer run.
