    lg g5 is a fail.it has severe screen image retention problem in all sets...its battery life is worse than even old Samsung s5 model.lg g5 back button/finger print sensor just dies on you someday and you don't even realize why?
    s7 is million miles ahead of lg g5 even if lg g5 has slightly better camera .
    I sold my lg g5 at half price ad got an old Samsung note 4 and am much happier with old Samsung note 4 than I was with lg g5...
    lg g5 has good speed and good camera,but its quality control and battery life are crap.screen is inferior to competition as well

I have been transferring many files between this device and my PC and it never give any issue. I have been using this device for almost 6 months and never have a single issue. The recent update to Nougat 7.0 makes it even better. Perhaps you are not using a real LGG5.

              LG G5 has too many issues. The GPS has not worked since I got the phone ,1 year ago , it never picks up satellite. You can't transfer file over to your pc via usb cable as it always gives an issue. I would not suggest getting this phone unless you have a lot of patience and time to waste.

                  antivirus, 21 Jan 2017If you have the patience, please wait for the LG G6. By them, you can decide. But if not, buy ... moreDo NOT get the g4. The phone is notorious for developing boot-loop issues after about 12 months. This will render your phone unusable.

                    I have owned my G5 since October and had not used the GPS as I know the area around my house well. While travelling for the holidays, I had MAJOR trouble with GPS (Waze, Google Maps) acquiring a sattelite signal and therefore couldn't use my phone to navigate when driving.

                    After testing it for a few days, (Using the App GPS Status) I find that my phone almost never locks onto a GPS signal. Having doe some Googling, I have found that this is not an uncommon occurrence. I plan on contacting LG to see what they can do about this problam and will update on this forum as necessary.

                      Guys, if you found that your phone is not working well with nougat, just full reset and format your phone and reinstall all your apps from fresh. Do not use recovery... I'd been.using Android since version 3, and it's been normal issue for it's main version migration... but anyhow, I'm not sure about the screen retention issue...

                                    Great phone, have this for 5 months now. No issues whatsoever.

                                    Video recording is good, and not to mention it has a great external speaker.

                                      Hi guys, ah LG G5 my biggest disappointment. Such a shit phone. I bought brand new LG G5 and there was a problem with volume and selfswitcher. Volume always on max. You can set up how you want but always when you start to call will be on max volume. Switching on and off on your own. After service the same thing. Well LG give my money back.
