AnonD-505364, 26 Mar 2016And 12 hours of heavy usage is not ok? I think he meant 12 hours unplugged. There's no way G5 will make it throughout the day on heavy usage. Max SoT will be 3.5hrs

Look I dislike samsung and will never buy one but lg g5 is a big let down. No one will spend so much money for the phone and modules and without the modules it is just an ugly metal G4 with some upgraded specs. Hoping HTC 10 won't disappoint too.

Lg keeps on disappointing users with the battery life. All the lg flagship devices had below average battery life since G2. I would be happy with one long lasting battery rather than 2 removable batteries.

The only advantages of Galaxy S7 are
- heat pipe cooling:
it allows the CPU/GPU to give constant performance, less prone to throttling
- gaming features:
you can reduce the resolution and framerate for power saving purpose and to improve the gaming performance
Those 2 features are what I miss from LG G5 that S7 has.
The advantages of G5:
- removable battery
- FM Radio
- IPS display instead of AMOLED
- infrared port
So LG G5 is better overall than S7, but G5 is not impressing at all. It's only advantage compared to LG V10 is the Snapdragon 820 SoC. If V10 had S820, it would be the best phone. Because LG G5 lacs 2 features that LG V10 has:
- manual mode for video recording
- dual window option
Moreover, we have to admit that the "magic slot" isn't that good.
The "magic slot" of LG G5 is gimmick, pointless and useless. Why? Because most flagship phones aready have a magic slot. It's called: microUSB port with USB OTG support.

Also you can watch TV without internet connection by using DVB-T TV tuner.

This is what I call a real magic slot.

Horrible battery life and screen brightness. Beside fast processor it's a middle range phone with very high price.

I now have an S7 Edge, after previously having an LG G2, which was probably the best phone that I ever had, I like it so much that I don't even want to sell it even if I don't use it anymore.
Since the LG G2 (which I owned and really liked), each LG flagship was worse than the one before it. This is unbelievable. In 2016, they come up with 2800mAh battery, huge bezels and a size that is as large as the 5.5" G3 and G4, while having a smaller screen (and a really ugly design) ?
Too bad about their always-on display, they seem to have put a lot of effort into it, it is way better and more efficient than Samsung's, but I really can't spend the money on a phone with 2800 mAh/60h battery life.
Sorry LG, but you lost me as a customer. And if some LG manager reads this, here is how to build the true G2 successor:
- Focus on thin bezels, aim for a screen-to-body ratio of at least 76%
- Focus on large battery, at least 3500 mAh
- Use a screen no larger than 5.2"
- Build a thicker phone with a larger battery rather than a slimmer phone with ugly humps and bumps, like the G5.
That's it !

Phone looks really good and the performance seems great...bot the battery life is not so good even if it's removable, never din carry a spare and nor intend to so I prefer a larger battery that lasts all day than removable..the Galaxy s7 edge seems a better proposition even though is a little more expensive, big battery and waterprofing, also the edge screen which not very usefull it brings some nice looks to the phone..wait for the price to drop to more rezonable levels and get that one...personally I have a Nexus 6 which works great and the Nexus 6p should also be considered as is one great device.

"There is good news about the LG G5 performance - it's flagship-grade, capable of handling anything anytime, and it doesn't heat the shell. We ran lots of benchmarks, one after another, and the G5 turned out to be one of the coolest flagships we handled this year. It gets slightly warm, but that's it."
Well done LG!

ljames, 26 Mar 2016Always on display is a gimmick anyway that only promotes laziness. Besides, it's not going to ... moreS7 loses in AOD which it should win easily though.
and i bet, 3rd party module maker could easily made a larger battery module for it.
