        I am hoping that LG would return to their previous design. The design on this phone sucks, EVEN IF the battery is removable. If LG does not want to go back to the slightly curved display, the least they could do is to return the position of all the buttons to the rear. Sometimes change is not good.
        And by watching LG's announcement video of this phone, you'll noticed that they tried to please everyone. They chose to give a 'metalic unibody' and a 'removable battery' at the same time on a single flagship device. I was so ready to buy the G5, but after I saw the changed overall design, I just kept my money. And I'm saving this money hoping LG realizes that you can't please every customer, and revert back to the design that the LG G series is known for.
        I hope that Lucky Goldstar sees this comment. And I'm glad that I got this out of my chest.

                i get apps shadow in background after i exit the app. i have checked that after uninstalling the app also shadow of the uninstalled app is present. after restarting the phone also the shadow is present. but when i switch off the phone for few minutes and remove the battery and restart the phone after few minutes then shadow is not available.

                  I'm happy and proud owner of my new LG G5! All features working very well, and smartphone very fast! Samsung Galaxy 7 better only for night photography, but on rest LG G5 the best! I buy this phone over Samsung Galaxy 7 edge, because have removable batteries and radio tuner. I strongly advising do not doubt and buy LG G5 if you want excellent or best smart phone. A good performance and good quality more important than looks or brand!

                      I have this device for almost a month now, and what i can say is the i have no complaints about it. The "super" brightness in direct sunlight shoots right when is needed, giving the device a very good readability in direct sunlight. It's also fast, smooth, the battery is decent and can give up to 4/5/6hrs of SOT. The great thing is, i have a spare, so can change whenever needed ^^
                      I'm opened to questions about device if u have any. Don't hesitate to ask.

                        Got G5 a week ago
                        everything is as expected (Perfect)
                        only problem is that WiFi is weak and your net speed drops dramatically if the signal is a little weak.Also it takes GPS to long to get fixed and show the correct coordinates and speed.
                        hope get fixed in the next update

                                    And using your phone while it is charging will definitely slow down the charging rate. (Applies to all smartphone).
