Does the LG G5 have a pressure sensitive screen?

I’m not sure what you mean? I just tested my knock on by barely tapping, I just barely touched my finger to the screen and it worked so I guess sensitive?

I think the op is refering to screen flair when you touch the screen with even moderate force. I've seen it demonstrated on several review of the G5 :(

How pressure sensitive is the screen of the LG G5?

Short answer would be yes, but it's not much of an advantage over any of the new phone models. It's hard to quantify the pressure since none of the manufacturers dish out the details. This is all done through a quantum tunneling composite. Unlike a capacitive screen that works by changing the electrical charge on a screen using your finger's own electrical charge. The device detects the pressure differential and interprets it as a touch on the area of change.

Depends on the unit, but the general consensus seems to be that due to the pretty thin glass, it is somewhat sensitive to pressure.

It's not as hard as, say, the glass on the iPhone 6S (which is actually very hard since it flexes a lot due to 3D Touch).

Could you clarify what you mean? Are you referring to sensitivity in terms of how it responds to touch for input to different features or if the screen discolors or distorts?
