I've had the G2, G3 and G4. (love my G4) Now I'm done. I don't like the G5 at all. Not one bit. Probably bail to the S7 Edge I guess. (which is very pricey in comparison)
I wasnt talking about Android Central's hands on video, but this video, it basically says all you need to know about the software.

Maybe it's just me but that video actually improved my position on the phone, I like the more simplistic approach that LG seems to be taking
The last couple years the complaint had been make the software/bloat smaller, make a metal body with removable battery and a SD card. So we get all that and people still complain. The way the world turns.
A couple things wrong with the video, apparently there is a home screen that does have an app draw and Q slide is still there somewhere.
The more I watch videos of the phone on YouTube the more I like it. Very clear out doesn't photo well but in videos looks much better. And I really like everything except the screen size getting smaller. Need to pay with it to make my mind up.
The iPhone 6s has a smaller battery than the 6 and lasts longer oddly, maybe LG figured it out too?
Or they just needed more space for the magic slot stuff lol
I've just watched some reviews and never saw the black version of the phone isn't there one?
That actually doesn't look too bad. Way better than the silver one.Here's the dark grey variant.
I think you and I have the same impression of that module.If you watch Phil's video, it shows him STARTING to insert the camera module, and then it gets caught on the back of the phone, and then POOF! Suddenly it cuts to him using it with the camera module installed. Had problems inserting that clunky thing, Phil? That's sure what it looks like, whether you did or not.
I'll go out on a limb and predict that the modular design is going to be very problematic, with things breaking easily. I also don't like how the battery has some gadget that snaps it into the bottom.
It looks like a really cool phone, but it's just not for me.
Also, I read somewhere (perhaps this very thread, I couldn't find the post) that the app drawer will be off by default, but there's a toggle for that in the setting. Just wanna pass on the info.
This tells us more about you than on the device's capabilities.
