I am using this phone since 2017 and its still working. Just changed the battery once. I m using it along with iPhone 15 pro max.

The worst Qualcomm chipset with native overheating problems.
In the time the chipset burns the CPU and the phone dies.

Pros:
-Amazing camera quality!
-Working after 5 years
-Removable battery
Cons:
-Overheating issues since I bought it (maybe it came with a defect and I probably should have returned it). During summer, the phone restarts a lot due to overheating, sometimes restarts non stop during 5 minutes and battery drops a lot.
-Some navigation applications cannot detect the GPS
-Audio Jack is weird, looks like is not plugged all the way and because of that i forced the entrance a little bit and broke it inside
-Screen burn-in after some years of using

Compare this to the Motorola Moto Z on paper, and this seems to be the winner with the inclusion of 3.5mm audio jack and a dual wide/ultrawide camera setup. It's just a shame that LG crippled the Magic Slot idea, or else it would be a true modular smartphone champion.

Hey guys its July 23, 2019, and i just bought a new battery dock (with battery included), and original fast charger also with the usb c type, cant just simply throw away this amazing phone, i know its not the fastest in the market, and wont be able (at least via OTA) to get andriod PIE or the followings, but it gets the job done, amazing camera, fast UI, long battery life (at least for the first year) and its one of the few flagships arround with fast charge 3.0 (no bullsh#t), if you're thinking about getting a new smartphone LG H850 (or the version of your country) dont think about it twice, cant go wrong.

The LG G5 is a great phone with a great camera. It has a battery that will not last the day if you don't have battery saver on. There are some quality issues with the manufacturing specifically with GPS. You may get a phone that will not lock into GPS so check it if you buy one.

Hey GSMArena guys, 16:9 has never been and it will never be a photography aspect ratio. You should consult photographers before stating hard statements like "we prefer 16:9 more than any 4:3" In photography, everything wider than 3:2 ratio (70% of cameras) is considered a panoramic image. 16:9 cameras means bad portraits in horizontal orientation, and even worse portraits in portrait orientation. Since it was invented until today, 16:9 was a video standard, and never a photo standard. I could write 9 years about that, why and why, but there is google for you! Best wishes.
