And in that case, if I buy 2-3 batteries in advance from now (to have in stock when the current battery dies and they have stopped manufacturing batteries) and keep them for a year in the drawer, will they work like brand new if I decide to put them in the phone?

It appears that the complaints about the G5 are pretty much along these lines:
No waterproofing (oh well).
Lots of paint on the back, no metal feel.
No app drawer (which I believe is now optional with a recent update, can someone confirm?)
Somewhat short battery life. (quick charging, so just plug it in for 10 minutes when it gets low)
Even if LG doesn't support the whole "Friends" thing, you've got a removable battery, so in a few years when your battery starts to lose it's pop, just slap in a new one. From what I've read, the negatives are relatively minor, correct?

G5 is junk wish I never got it. Constantly rebooting/restarting and freezing. Finally after a fit stuck in a constant rebooting cycle it completely bricked, dead might as well throw it away. Don't buy a G5 unless you want to throw money away and have constant headache.

However, if I decide to buy an additional battery and keep in in the drawer for one year (until the current one starts holding very little charge), will it work perfect on the phone even if it has stayed 1 year without being used?
Also, I have an Xperia Z2 and I feel like a £400 payment doesn't justify the jump in characteristics (the CPU is a bit faster and it has an additional 1 GB of RAM). The camera is smaller on the G5.

G5 is the most reliable phone to date and its performance is the best. Cammeras just perfect. Battery great. So, even without its "friends" i would have bought it again. Forgot to mention the expandable storage and removable battery.

I was thinking of buying the G5, however, I recently read that LG are abandoning the modular concept for their future flagships. Since modules is what got me to this phone in the first place (it looks SO cool being able to play with your phone and attach/detach certain components), I think it's a shame that they are abandoning the idea. If I buy the G5 now, support for the current modules will probably end soon, which means I won't be able to replace them. Overall phone support might also end sooner. What would you recommend me? I need a phone (with a removable battery, but not the V20 as it is too expensive for me) that will last me and have support for at least 2 years. Thank you and appreciated.

I have G5 from may and I have nothing to comment about this phone, work incredible fast, accesories are great, expensive but great, if you are not a brute with your phone G5 is incredible, back fingerprint is perfect for one hand unlock (except samsung where you need to use all hands to unlock) and if you don't like theme or anything else you can change it any time. Perfect phone for me, no back fingers, metallic shape, is great for me. Excuse my bad english pls.
