I had used 2 LG phones, both of them were beautiful and good, but not including the batteries. For the first year: good. After 1 year: the phone shutdown automatically, especially when call going. Now I hate the smartphone of LG brand name !

    AnonD-447117, 04 Mar 2017I have the retention problem and the service center ppl are replacing the screenI think you are confusing yourself with AMOLED screens which has burn in effect compared to traditional IPS LCD display. Go back to your cave and sleep fanboy.

      The most underrated phone.The samsung s5 was also underrated. I love the g5 more than life itself. Most people are concerned with silly things such as premium feel. Who cares when your phone is in an case all the time !! Even if it wasnt,who cares !! Not me. This phone has 3 cameras. 1 8mp front. 1 8mp WIDE ANGLE LENS, and 1 16mp. Optical image stabilization. 4 gb ram. Latest processor. High res display and pixel density. REMOVABLE battery so you can be mobile and free at all times without being stuck to a wall or carrying a bulky edternal battery. It also has quick charging. What more does one need? A premium feel? Jesus,ive lost hope in humanity.

        For those who say don't update to nougat,ignore them that's absolutely rubbish my G5 works perfectly on nougat with zero problems and excellent battery life.

        I use the G5 and HTC10 and I swap between them on a regular basis and the G5 is better in some respects than the HTC 10 because it has better battery life and the always on display and of course replaceable battery and larger screen size and it doesn't get as hot as the HTC 10 when pushed.
        I admit though the HTC 10 has better sound and build quality and also call quality is louder and clearer and I love the customization that it has to.

        Overall I use the G5 more but you could live with the HTC 10 if you can afford it but they are both very good phones.

                                  Updated my LGG5 to nougat today in India after a long long wait. The update did not show when checked through WIFI in phone about. But when i connected the mobile to PC through USB and LG bridge showed 2 updates. The update is actually only 1 which is the nougat update of 2.42 GB. Initially it did not allow me to update and continuously showed the message " the update cannot be downloaded" so after trying for about 50 times i was able to download it and update my phone. So anyone in India waiting for the nougat update should connect the mobile to PC and try to update it through LG bridge. You may get lucky after few attempts and update the phone.

                                    Cause in from Portugal and the h820 is way cheaper that the h850 which is the "European" version...
                                    The h820 is for At&t network but I've purchased one and I want to use a NOS SIM card in it, is it compatible?

                                      [deleted post]If you have battery problems like me (2h on screen) reset the phone twice. It seems to work for now (back on 5-6h). Still.. LG should come with an update.
