One of the most underrated phones of 2012
This phone is my baby and I love it deeply. However with every person there are faults.
PROS:
-The speed, this being a quad core phone it has amazing speeds that are super fast.
-The screen may not be the brightest, but this phone has a great screen that is beautiful to look at.
-This phone unlike most android phones is beautiful to look at and isn't made of cheap feeling plastic. LG made the Prada phone, which was one of the most beautiful looking phones to be made, and this as well has the same feel. The glass on the back is really cool with its dotted pattern. It feels more like an expensive piece of jewelry.
-Where I live LTE connections are good and the speeds are pretty fast. The highest download speed I've had so far is 20mbps on LTE so when you get it, the connection is outstanding.
-Even with Icecream Sandwich the phone is ridiculously smooth, and with Jellybean coming along it will be even smoother.
CONS:
-The Camera... The camera is not acceptable for a high end smartphone, and this goes to show that the more megapixels you have doesn't make a difference if the phone can't focus properly. A lot of the photos that I have taken have come out blurry and it's pretty hard to focus on something properly and take a clear image. The camera is absolutely horrible in the dark and cannot pick up light.
-The fact that it doesn't come stock with Jellybean
-Unable to reach the SIM card as well as a slot for microSD, but its okay because the phone comes with 32gb of internal and 50gbs of cloud storage so I am fine with that.
SO overall I really do love this phone, and I did not buy it to take high quality pictures,but the pros I feel weigh over the cons and using it has really made me fall in love with it. The gorilla glass 2 holds up pretty well, however my first one I cracked from placing the phone down on the screen side pretty gently, so I would highly recommend a case.

First "flagship" phone I own. I am very impressed by the performance. Consider the Pros and Cons before buying.
Pros:
Wide Angle camera. It offers new perspectives you never thought a phone could offer. It is the most impressive feature i found to be useful.
Fits my hand nicely (medium large dude hand)
Unlocks my chromebook via bluetooth.
Good audio.
Quick and sharp GPS detection.
Unlocks my phone with one finger.
Modular design makes swapping battery really convenient (details below).
Cons:
The battery, let me explain.
This phone can last really long without gps, mobile network turned on throughout the day, but that's not practical. I'm a Univerisity student, i turn Wifi, mobile network, location on and off very frequently. The phone battery had never died on me, nor turn red. But it gave me this unwarranted fear of not being able to use the phone at night with 20% battery left.
However, I solved the battery problem by purchasing a LG External Replacement Battery Kit. It comes with 1 white charging case + 1 genuine LG g5 battery. Look it up, it's around 30 pounds. I carry the battery kit along with me everyday. So i leave my house with two fully charged battery ready. The additional investment in the battery kit is a must if you own a G5.

Great phone and value
I got this phone on June 9th 2013 so I have only had it about a week and half and I do really like it. I originally went into Best Buy to purchase the HTC One. I milled around at all the devices Sprint offers and played with each one for a few minutes. Being the geek that I am inside, I really do like having the latest and greatest technology. Knowing I really didn't want to spend alot of money that day, I decided on the LG Optimus G,which I got for free. Who doesn't like "free". Now after playing around with the phone for a few days and reading reviews,I am still pleased with my choice. The phone updated to JellyBean right out of the box which was great. It's thin and sleek and quite stylish. I don't mind the glass back either, I was concerned about when I couldn't find a decent case anywhere though. I did order an Otterbox online and was very happy when it finally came in the mail. Now, I did notice the wifi kept turning itself on after I'd turned it off. However I fixed that issue quite easily. Also the phone is set to search and connect to 4G LTE which I do not have in my area. These two issues were draining the battery quickly. Since I have switched the settings for them both I get a full days use which is what we all want at least. The screen itself is beautiful from all angles. And this thing is quick! Great camera and HD videos as well. One hundred times better than my last android phone which was the HTC EVO. Can phone be called sexy? Cause I think this phone is. The overall look is just sexy. Lastly, I am glad I choose this phone and not follow the masses and went with another company. No names needed. ;-) If you want to increase your battery without having to install an app leave me a comment and I will explain how.

I purchased this phone in time for Christmas, however received a slightly faulty model so requested a refund and had the money in my amazon account the next day a few hours after i sent the phone back. Still intended to purchase a working LG G5 so reordered and (since I was on my 30 day free amazon prime trial) it arrived the next day! The seller's customer service was excellent, no quarrels and helped me through the process as it was my first time refunding an order of this caliber. The new device works perfectly, the camera is outstanding (in love with the wide angled lens), the phone itself runs as fast and lag-free as any rival flagship of 2016, if not faster, thanks to its powerful snapdragon 820 processor. Due to ingenuity (it's modular!) and consistency, I would wish for no other phone at time of writing (apart from maybe the Google Pixel, but who can afford that?) plus cost around £100 less than the iphone 6s or galaxy s7, the G5's main competition. 9/10 highly recommend, probably best phone I've ever owned - missed out on the big 10 simply due to relative short battery life compared with the likes of samsung or sony, still gets you through the day mind you, also quickly extended by popping in a spare battery costing £30 from LG, effectively doubling your battery power to 5600mAh, ~2000mAh more than the S7's beast of a battery. To sum up, if you're reading this and still umming and ahing whether to get the G5 or the S7, Sony X, Huawei p9, iPhone 6s or other, just buy this and save £100+, you won't regret it (last thing! The LG G6 is to be unveiled in February 2017, so the price of the G5 will only decrease from then on) Thanks for reading, hope this helped those of you unsure what phone to get! :)

Very impressive
The optimus G is almost everything it claims to be.
Speed is probably my biggest interest in the phone, and it clocks in excess of 5000 on SmartBench 2012.
A friend of mine has an EVO, and I ran smartbench three times while her EVO was running it once. I also started after she was well into the first try.
Build quality and battery life are above average, even at my work where the signal coverage leaves much to be desired.
(poor coverage causes lower battery life)
It is a little large, and people with small hands may have trouble with one-hand use.
Although it looks like plastic, most of the phone is Corning Gorilla Glass. Very nice.
The speed helps a bunch when streaming video from Netflix, or from the DLNA servers on my lan.
Not having an SD slot is a small minus, but 32G internal storage makes up for that.
Google wallet is supposed to be preinstalled, but it isn't actually on the phone or available for it at this moment (15/11/12) but I expect that will be fixed shortly. I will be disappointed if this never becomes real.
Oh yeah. It also makes and receives phone calls.

Comunque soddisfatto.
Arrivato con 15 giorni di ritardo rispetto alla previsione, comunque arrivato , mi hanno restituito €15.00 per il disturbo, una cover, e un vetro protettivo. Per quanto riguarda il telefono:funziona, prezzo ottimo, schermo non troppo grande, batteria sostituibile, tra poco si aggiornerà ad oreo 8.0 praticamente fantastico!.

It nice but could use some improvement
Overall I'm very satisfied although I have only had the phone for about a week. It is extremely quick and runs smooth. I checked out and compared other phones before I purchased this one and it seemed to be the best out of all for the price. The screen is super clear and the color contrast is excellent. Its quad core so programs seem to flow. The speaker quality is nice for the speaker phone and ear phone. The speaker phone is really loud you can understand the words through it. The UI is pretty easy to get use to. It also has 32 gigs of memory.
The are some cons: The phone is made out of glass back and front. Thats not the strongest stuff for a phone body to be made out of. So don't drop it!!! and get a case! Another thing is that there is no removable battery. Not to mention there is no sd card slot which can really come in handy. I guess trying to follow apple. I have not gotten the camera to take clear pictures when there seems just a very slight movement though pictures are nice as long as there is no movement. Videos seem to come out pretty decent.
Overall Its worked pretty good for the last few months. It is very fast and fluid. Although it doesn't have an sd card slot you can run a usb to computer and transfer your data and it worked very well on my macbook once I downloaded the software. It has nfc abilities but I haven't used them yet. I would say its worth checking out.

I bought the G5 in late 2016.
Mainly bought it because of the camera hype, which is mediocre at best. Very bad in low light (compared to mum's phone or my old Nokia smartphone of many years ago).
I was hoping this phone would be a bit more future-proof, it has a solid construction of aluminum (unfortunately this beauty has been hidden in a sturdy black case for most of it's life, but every time I take it out it just looks and feels so nice..)
The only time the fingerprint reader gave any problems was when my hands were wet, but I guess that's to be expected. Otherwise I've had maybe three issues with it. Unfortunately the reader didn't work for some applications I tried to get fingerprint authentication for, but I'd guess that's the App dev's fault.
The two things I find completely unacceptable for a flagship model are the bootloop bug and lack of battery calibration. The bootloop fault is a well known issue with many LG models (there's a wiki article on it..), where; on startup; the phone starts going through the startup procedure many times, it lights up as if it's starting to give you false hope. Then it goes dark, then it lights up again. I've had this last for several hours. I've mainly been trying to avoid having the phone battery run out to remedy this.
Hence the second issue is so much fun. As you use a phone, your battery life degrades over time. Every phone has this issue. But most phones allow a procedure which calibrates the battery meter to reflect this. I've not found this feature on this model, so my phone might die at 50% indicated battery (or around 60% as it did today). For a while it seemed to be stable, dying at 40%, but now it's time to replace this LG junk.
Also, for some reason the GPS is extremely poor.

"Rocket Power"
"Lets first talk about the use of "Corning Glass" that makes up both the front and back of this phone." Corning is a American Company and has been outfitting NASA for years. They also make that material that photosensors the sun within your Transition Lenses. So therefore, you can see this Screen in most any condition which is a huge plus! This screen is huge, a little bulky but more than easy to read, clear and crisp and you get to pick the automative transitions. On all the complaints that you cannot access battery and no micro sd card, what were they thinking? LG is cutting edge and thinks about Engineering first. This is a solid phone, nothing to get into it such as a unfriendly user. With 32 gigs of RAM, you don't need any SD Card. But they do sell those weird mini USB port plugins with internal SD if you must. The speed of this phone is all you have ever needed. I live in a rural area and have never gotton 4G signals. I rely upon normal 3G Speed but its that quad core processing power that is more than impressive, its top in its class.
This is not a cheap phone, a fly by nighter to get to the next class of phones. Its a standard that LG would like to stand by and its sure to be a top seller for them. I love the fact you can be screening a video and then at the same time pull up another screen to text and then send the text and then back to the video within the same screen. Only that processing speed and 2 gigs of memory can you do that!
This is a mini-pad that can do everything you want it to do or dream up.
The notepad is very cool as you just pull down the pen, pick your color and start scrbbling on any application.. you don't need a dedicated note pad. Fun for doodlers like me while on the phone.
The Music Player is decent, everyone says the Volume is low but I'm getting a good signal from my Bluetooth devices and can pump up the Volume from there. It needs a Audio processor but you can find a good app for that.
If you are a LG person upgrading from a older Optimus to this one, DO IT! Its speaks the same language and you will be running in minutes.
*Now the trick is in transferring all your old media files to LG Optimus G; Plug your old phone and new phone into seperate USB Ports on your Desktop, Laptop or Pad. You may have to download a dedicated program for the Optimus G. Now you see both Both Phones that have been given dedicated drives. You see Media, Audio, Music etc. on your old phone.. just copy over the files from your old phone to the new one. The LG Optimus G instantly reads those files and embeds then into the Media Players. I did find a problem with Videos that were coded standard MPEG 1 and 2 would not play in the Phone's Video Player. MP-4 was good to go. Seems to have a problem with older codecs.
The true HD Widescreen or Full Screen is pretty damn amazing! This has to be the best Screen on the market for a Consumer Handheld Device... so therefore, LG.. you get 5 Stars!

This is hands down the best phone ive ever had except one little annoyance (more on that later) im going to write this review the way my manager fives feedback like a turd sandwich so some good, some bad and finish with some good, so you can go away feeling happy, so it is a pretty large and colourful screen with gorilla glass so its quite tough and durable, call quality is excellent it runs marshmellow by far the beat androis os to date, it has 4gb of ram and 32gb of storage enough for anyone and any game you want to through at it the g5 also has the latest quadcore cpu trust me when i say this phone will distroy most home pcs in spec except the higher end models, some bad now the phone comes with no app draw so you have download a 3rd party one or you can download googles from thw app store, the screen is bright but USELESS is direct sun light leaving you running for shade, but by far the biggest bug bare is the battery life, shocking isnt the word, i woke up at 05:50 not touches my phone until now to write some reviews at 06:50 now 07:16 and im on 83% ill get to work in london at 08:45 and ill be around 65% so you need to carry your charger or a spare battery as this phone is modular, how-ever all is not lost lg have gone with the usb-c chatging option which allows 60% charge in just 30 mins and a full charge in 1hr uaing there charger which is included plus you get evernote for free.

Am I the only one that feels the phone is "glitchy"?
I went form an EVO 4G to the Optimus G last December (2012). I regret the decision to not go with the Samsung option.
Let me start by saying that all the positives in every review on here is spot on. It's FAST. It's big. It's lightweight. All that good stuff. All that said, the software has been KILLING me. I consider myself a power user since I basically work from my phone 4 days out of every week and I've been pretty disappointed by the random failures. List of examples is as follows:
1 - I'll disable the WIFI when I'm not in an area where there's an open network and it will keep coming back on by itself every minute or two. It disrupts my browsing or voice dictation every time. Annoying as all get out.
2 - The notification can be set on the loudest setting possible and be working just fine, then for no reason it won't notify you of a text. It goes unchecked and that drives me crazy.
3 - If I go to the phone log and select a number that isn't saved in my contacts and choose the "dial" option, it says "dialing" indefinitely without actually dialing the number. If I save that same number to my contacts and repeat that same process, it dials fine. Why?!?!
4 - Shockingly, Gmail doesn't sync properly. For all the cooperation between Google and Android, this one fails. Messages get stuck in "sending" mode (even when on WIFI) and some won't appear at all that appear on my desktop.
5 - When you hold the side button and choose the "silent" mode, then go back and do the same thing to hit "sound" mode, the sound settings are always different. I'm forced to go back in and re-customize all my sound settings.
6 - The spell check is terrible....and I need it, as you can probably tell from this post.
7 - The Sync options are all or nothing. You can't customize which apps sync and which don't. Along that same thread, the given weather app never auto updates properly for me, despite being set to update every hour. Never does.
8 - It's impossible to turn the shutter sound off on the camera. Even when the phone is on silent, it makes a sound. Your only options are three different sounds. No silent.
9 - when I update apps, the ones on my home screens will occasionally be added a second time to other home screens where there is open space. I regularly have to go through and delete the random and new icons. ??
10 - Frequent crashing of the text messaging. It just shuts off and goes to the home screen. Happens about three times a week.
11 - This might be just a general gripe, but the music app is as clunky as I've ever seen.
This is all I can think of off the top of my head right now.
I'm sure people will try to address some of these complaints as if I am the problem, not my phone. That's fine, and I actually invite the feedback from others that can help me out with some of these things if solutions exist. Perhaps not, and these really are just glitches that can't be fixed. My negative opinion of this phone comes from the fact that I've been an Android user for years...so even if these problems can be solved in some way, why do I all of a sudden need extra help to navigate the software? It's just not a reliable product if you rely on your phone for heavy work. That's my opinion. Productive feedback is welcomed, as always.

Historically i've always had either Samsung, HTC, Sony or Apple smartphones. Traded up to this from a Sony Xperia Z2 as the battery started to expand (replaced under warranty).
Immediately when you setup the phone you're greeted with a weird home screen, not like any of the other manufacturers. I then found out you have to download the LG update that brings it in line with the other manufacturers.. Why? That should be installed by default! Maybe it is now in the Android 7 update?
The dual cameras work well, in terms of the wide-angle lens offering a type of photo that the other manufacturers cant. Photo wise it's not really on a par with the other manufacturers. Maybe the HTC. But i've had a Samsung S6, iPhone 5s and now 6s (for work) and my old Sony - they all took better photos than this. The low light level photos from the Sony were brilliant! Maybe very noisey - but you could take a picture and make out what it was! The LG just shows black.. Not good at all!
Anyway, there's one major (and in my mind absolutely unforgivable) flaw with the phone - the shocking screen burn! If you use the phone for any "reasonable" amount of time without changing application (such as having a WhatsApp convo with the wife), as soon as you go back to the home screen or another app with a dark-ish background - you can still see the burn left from the light buttons from the other app.
LG don't seem to care about it. I've had the phone around a year now and I still notice it every day to the point of me waiting for the Sony Xperia XZ Premium to come out - i'll be trading up to that pretty quickly methinks!
I can't wait to be done with my LG "experiment".. This is my first and definitely last LG phone!

Great but not perfect
I have now had my LG Optimus G phone for over a week and will say I love it. It feels great in the hand and got it protected with a diztronic cover here at Amazon and it fits great, plus the price was really good. I just let go of my HTC Evo which drove me batty. Love the solid feel in my hand, the look, the fast processor and this is in 3g for LTE has not come up here to the NW so man this baby will really download and upload fast when LTE hits town (hopefully soon). The camera is nice and still learning on it. Love that you do not have to press a button just say Cheese, LG, kimchi, (it is a Korean phone) and a couple of other words and it snaps away. Like that even at night it takes pics without the blare of flash so you do not get that washed out look. Love the screen for it does not have the super bright super colored screen of G III and the colors look much more natural. It can get bright but keep it at around 70% and like that they protected it with Gorilla glass II.
My only real complaint is the speaker. I had to return one of my phones due to the distortion on speaker phone especially with male voices. My new phone still pretty much sounds the same so I hope this is something LG will choose to deal with. Looked around for quite some time, waited and glad I did. You will not be disappointed in the Optimus G and I honestly think this phone will be great for the next couple of years. Now just waiting for Jelly Bean to come to this phone which it is suppose to happen this month (December). Come on Sprint you just updated the HTC Evo with Jelly Bean and this baby is so much nicer and smoother.

After spending dozens and dozens of hours on reviews, at this time, the only 2 main phones to chose from are the Samsung S7 and LG G5. (Apple??? please....) In effectively every way, G5 and S7 are as good as each other. I picked the G5 so I can swap the battery for a new one as they all lose power over time (can't on the S7) and the dual camera, which after a few months is great.
What has turned into a real gem of a function over the last 3 months is the finger print scanner and its location. It woks 99% of the time first time and its perfectly located on the back to be used as the phone is picked up and turned over, so unlocking it in 1 movement.
No more pins and I'd never go back!
Battery life is good, every thing is good, its working well, no issues.
It's not "waterproof" like the S7, but then the Samsung warranty wont cover water damage, so its not waterproof and not worth the risk!
In a world of similar handsets, this is (at the moment) the top of the pile (ok, 1st place shared) but the camera, finger print scanner and removable battery are 3 prime reasons I'd pick this over anything else at the moment if I was given the choice.

Possibly the most underrated phone yet
DESIGN: Although design of a phone is mostly opinion on whether it's good or not, I personally think the design is near perfect. The glass is very sturdy on both the front and back, the buttons are spaced nicely and have great tactile feedback, the crystal pattern behind the back glass panel is amazing to just look at it, and the bezels around the screen are nice and thin. Some smart phones even in 2014 just can't compete with this design.
DURABILITY: I dropped this phone on concrete thirty minutes after I bought it. Not a single scratch after I picked it up. The backing, being glass, might worry you, but it's definitely strong. I never cracked this phone, though after awhile it did gather a few scratches. I never felt the need to put the G in a case, just because it didn't need one for me. The phone can get slippery since it's manily glass, so you might drop it until you form a good grip position through practice
SPEED: Even with one of the first quad core mobile chips, this thing is still fast enough for newer games and multitasking. Try slowing the phone down, you'll have a tough time doing so. The 2GB of RAM give plenty of breathing room while running many apps and four cores makes doing so a breeze.
SOFTWARE: LG's Optimus UI 3.0 Software is sort of a Love it or Hate it situation. It takes a lot from TouchWiz on Galaxy devices and adds a few things. Some love it some don't. I personally prefer it over a Samsung device, it just feels smoother.
DISPLAY: Even at "only" 1280x768 this display is amazing to use. 4.7 inches in size isn't too big or too small for average sized hands, but that's opinion. Colors look great, a little bit colder than on other devices, but natural looking and bright. The device has a PPI of over 300 so it is very sharp, small text is easy to read and viewing angles are good enough that you won't notice distortion until you really tilt the phone at a crazy angle.
BATTERY: Rated at 2100mAh, the battery is decently sized. It holds up somewhat nicely, but it wasn't mind blowing. Expect to get through the day with heavy usage, but don't expect more than maybe ten or eleven hours. The screen and processor are probably a bit too much for the battery to healthily handle, and a larger battery would have been a better idea for greater than mediocre battery life. It works, but could be higher
CONCLUSION: Since the battery can last all day it isn't really an issue, and everything else is just amazing. The only deal breaker here is software, so try the phone put if you can before buying. There is no SD expansion so you get 32GB with the Sprint/International models and that's it. AT&T have a different design model with SD expansion, but I personally like the Sprint one more. That is also merely my opinion, but this phone overall gets the 9.5 out of 10 from me. Near perfect, just mediocre battery that takes away half of a point. Highly recommend this extremely underrated device.

Excellent phone (LG G5 32GB UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Titan) much better than my old Samsung Galaxy S5. Twice the memory, both RAM and Flash giving sparkling performance. I was forever having to jiggle my apps on the Samsung to move them onto the external SD card to free up space in the internal memory (you have to do this every time an app update is installed via Playstore) as all the uninstallable bloatware supplied with the phone had filled up the internal 16GB memory. The only downside, and this seems to apply to all mobile phones nowadays is that I can't use the dual SIM functionality with an external SD card installed. I could do this with the Samsung S5 so this seems a backward step by mobile phone manufacturers, so a star has been deducted.

I've had it for about 3 months
Like any phone you are going to want to take care of it. If you are the type to drop, step on, or sit on your phones you may want to look elsewhere or get a really good case. However, with that said I have yet to break the glass from sitting on my phone or from dropping it. This phone is by far my favorite out of all the phones I've had. It's fast and comes with a lot of very cool features. The feature I use on an every day basis is the recent apps/task manager function. It's so much easier than the task manager on my computer. All you need to do is hold down the home button. You can then pick tasks you want to close or clear them all. You can also control the brightness, wifi, sound, and other functions without even unlocking your phone (a bonus for me who tends to keep the brightness on really low and forgets to turn it up before leaving the house. You can move the icons to access these functions around so the most important ones are more easily accessible. For example, my brightness icon is the first icon, so I am able to turn on my brightness without being able to see it.) Another interesting, and new to me, feature is the ability to turn off your Data without putting it in airplane mode. I've always hated airplane mode for the sole reason of it shutting off my ability to receive calls and texts. With the ability to turn off the Data (and not just by turning on the wifi) I am able to save battery while still being available for important calls and texts. Give this phone a shot.

This phone look like the pictures shown. It has many features, one of which is using this phone as a TV remote etc. One of many features. The phone's aesthetics are pretty beautiful: it's slim and stylish. The phone is also very light and easy to handle. The only downside of this product is that you need a spare battery, but that's nothing. Unless you're on a budget and need extra batteries. Also the dual cameras hand out very pixilated images, but with the right hand can producs stunning images in 4k.
In short I would recommend this phone over the lg g4 or samsung s6 and edge. It's faster, louder and the overall image quality is superb. Thunbs up.

Love the phone but one complaint, that drives me crazy
Pros:Fast, very pretty screen, quad core, NFC is neat, 13MP camera. All things that are great and why I would recommend the phone.
Cons:No removable battery, no expandable memory, LTE isn't in my area and it doesn't support wimax(although not a huge complaint), I love the search button on the older phones and I miss it but also not a big deal.
Right now, I have had it for 2 days, I love the phone but I am hung up on the audio jack. I dont know if it might be defective or if it puts out enough power in general. I switched from the Evo 3d and I connect my music to my car. With my 3d i was very satisfied, it was loud, now with the optimus it sound significantly quieter. I have gone through all the settings and can't get it any better. I am considering buying a headphone booster.
If I can get this resolved this will definitly move up to five stars!

Brilliant phone. The camera is really impressive and the processing power. The fingerprint reader is useful however I find it annoying when using a wallet case - its not a natural place for a button centre back...
The screen glass could be a little more robust too - mine is scratched already and I'm absolutely militant about looking after my belongings.
The audio from the speaker isn't very good, being positioned at the bottom in landscape mode viewing video the sound is off to the edge, not good for listening - also, easily distorts.
The display is absolutely fantastic - deep colours, however in reviews it states its one of the brightest around. This is true at full brightness - where you won't want to be if you want the battery not to drain quickly - however at other settings the display is quite dim, it seems non-linear in this respect.
The memory capacity is incredible - lots of built in memory and an SD card make this something you need not worry about.
Overall a really fast, quality device with loads of storage and a brilliant camera (especially wide-angle mode).

tl;dr review
Case: Sturdy and substantial. I think I can drop it and not have the screen crack, haven't tried it. 9/10
Screen: Clean and sharp. Very good screen. 10/10
Camera: Decent, 13MP doesn't matter. Panorama sucks, bad editing software. 6/10
Hardware: Fast, quad-core, 2gb ram. Can do anything fast. 10/10
Sound (volume): Loud enough. I have no hearing problems. 9/10
Sound (Voice): Clear and no distortion. 9/10
UI: Confusing at first, easy after 3 days of use. 7/10
Network Speeds: WiFi connections are fast. 3G stays connected. 4G, what 4G? 8/10
If you're into phones with accessories, then this is not the phone for you, get an iPhone. This phone is made for performance. It is future proof for the foreseeable future because of the quad-core and 2gb of ram. I haven't had any issues with my phone for the week I had it. As phones go, it's average, but that's good enough for me :)
My other options...I would have gone with the Nexus 4, but those are always sold out. The S3 is dual-core and old, but they do have a lot of users, meaning more accessories for it. Note 2, too big.
Final Score: 68/80 (85%)

The overall opinion for this phone is that it is ok, but not perfect. I prefer this one instead of LG G4 because I had 3 LG G4 and all of them had the sudden death problem. Coming back to the LG G5, I really like the size, you can reach to everywhere on the screen. The removable battery is something I want in everyphone because after a few months of use, it is very likely that you need to replace your battery for a new one.
The reason for a 3 stars rate is because I'm experiencing problems with the GPS reception. It has been ok but in the last days, I'm having this problem so I will have a look to see if it is solved or not.
Something I really like is the combination of the 2 cameras. The pictures are perfect and you can do a lof of things with both cameras. I wasn't expected too much of this but finally I'm surprised with the cameras.

Still One of the Best Phones on the Market
I persuaded my mother and brother, as well as myself, into purchasing this phone late in December. I came from the original HTC Evo, and it is an amazing graceful difference. It's like having your first smarthpone, and that the Evo was just a nice regular phone. Anyways, the only phones in competition with this was the Galaxy S III, and I guess the next closest was the HTC Evo 4G LTE, although not really. Let me just say, that this was easily the best specced phone on the market. With a Snapdragon 400 pro, pumping out 1.5GHz on a quad-core configuration, it has never even came remotely close to stuttering on me. Throw in the fact that this was the only phone available on Sprint with 2GB of RAM and a quad-core processor and a 13MP Camera, and there was no way we were going to get a different phone. I did not purchase this off of Amazon, but Best Buy instead, getting it half off, so I got them for $100 each. Fast forward half a year, and I personally believe that this is still a top 3 phone on Sprint. Only to be overpowered by the Galaxy S IV and the HTC One, it still is an amazing phone. Plus, it's not even heavily overpowered. They both share a Snapdragon 600 Pro, at 1.9GHz, only besting the OG (Optimus G) by .4GHz. They share the Adreno 350 graphics processor, and both share the 40% faster charge times( Courtesy of the Snapdragon 400, 600, and 70% increase on the 800). the SIV and the OG both share a 13MP camera, although the Samsung does have a better sensor, while the HTC has a 4MP with a great sensor that performs especially well in the dark. The battery life on this phone isn't anything special, but that's a good thing. I have never had it die on me in a single day. In fact, I've probably only been under 25% like 4 or 5 times. Although, I do have a few quirks with the phone.
Quirks: Camera has a forced shutter sound, and you either need to download an app called "silent camera" which is a lame replacement camera app, or root it and modify the build.prop (which is what I did), plus it has a forced auto-focus, so be ready to focus and quickly take the picture. The phone does get pretty hot, especially when taxed with usage of phone while charging or playing games. It's not a bad thing, necessarily, but it may make some people uncomfortable. Not a lot of ROM support, but I can't hold LG responsible for that. Just be wary that Cyanogenmod is only available on the international version. No SD slot, which is found on the AT&T model, but is made up with 32GB of internal memory, compared to both the HTC's and GSIV's 16GB standard. Only has one eternal speaker, on the back, which is annoying, but it does get pretty loud, loud enough for me to hear in the shower, and much louder than the iPhone's speakers.
Pros: Receieved Jelly Bean update, plus has an AOKP ROM support. Extremely easy to root and unlock the boot loader for and flash a custom recovery. Unbelievably quick, smooth, reliable, and just more enjoyable. I can keep 3 games cached on the RAM and seamlessly switch between them with ease (Although I usually clear my RAM every second, just to preserve maybe 3 or 4% of battery life). Great camera, other than shutter sound (which I cleared up) and auto-focus issues, which you just got to be quick about. Plus, it has great features on the camera, and the video recording is great, allowing you to take pictures while you record in HD. I constantly get better reception than my sister's iPhone, partially due to some software tweaks within the ROM I have, and partially due to the fact that it just does. Battery life is great, I can easily get through a day, no sweat. 40% faster charge times. For example, I can get 20-25% battery from taking a shower. Lots of quick options in the notifications bar. It also has lots of speedy memory, over 27GB usable, while the 16GB GSIV has like 8.7 usable. Three capacitive touch buttons on the bottom, one for back, one for home, and one for a menu button. Holding down the home buttons brings up running apps, with the options to clear them, one for google now,(BEST THING EVER, read some recent articles about it, I use it multiple times a day, sometimes a dozen at least)and one for task manager. Plus, Android is a definite perk, especially when you have a phone that doesn't get held back by "slow hardware". This is an amazing phone, and has even more perks I'm sure you would enjoy if you got this phone too.
Overall, this phone will not get outdated hardware wise, I just hope that LG will continue to support this phone and give it updates every once in a while. But if not, I know that I can flash a ROM that someone will have made. But even if there aren't any updates, the phone won't get any worse, and it's a great phone. This phone will always stay great, and nothing will slow it down

At first i thought it was a great product especially being second hand, it came as a surprise the quality looking barely used, but after a day of use a few features became clear to not be fully functional, such as the volume button was going on and off, the screen keeps bugging out and is sometimes unresponsive, the phone even turns off completely when it reaches 15%, and if I'm honest i cant blame the company for these issues as they would be hard to spot, but as a warning to others be careful of what you order, this is only from personal experience and may not affect all their products.
