LG G5™ Verizon Wireless
All New Metal Design
Modular Type
Wide Angle Lens
Get the whole picture! Our eyes can take in a lot, but this camera grabs even more at 135°. Capture a sprawling skyline, a packed stadium concert, or the entire beach, all that your eyes can see plus more.
Magnifying Zoom In and Out
Go Extreme! Zoom out ultra wide (0.5X) on the LG G5. Take a variety of photos and videos from a tight close-up to a vast scene by simply pinching the screen. Just pinch to see it all.
Pop-out Picture
The photo is the frame. Take both a standard and wide angle photo at the same time. Make your picture pop and stand out against 4 photo-frame background effects: Fisheye, B&W, Vignette, Lens blur. Your shares and uploads will be more likeable than all the rest.
Daylight Mode
A different kind of "Sun" screen. When the sun shines bright, so does
the screen. The enhanced IPS Quantum display is brighter, more vivid,
and clearer even in outdoor daylight.
Always-on Display
Save your thumbs. No more hitting the button to check the time, date, or notifications. With the LG G5, the important stuff is already up and on! Just look.
LG Friends Manager
All together now. With LG Friends Manager, the LG G5 can control, play with, and interact with all LG friends you have.

Not what I Expected for the good money I paid!!
Browser slow signal poor camera ok. But take more than 2 pictures consecutivly and The Entire System FREEZES up the snap a pic button completely disappears. Only way to bring it out of it is sleep and wake screen THEN circle or square buttons at bottom of phone and Close All! Then- go directly back into camera and its just White! Takes forever for the brain to catch up with the but! On its own it decides to corrupt or erase pictures and videos! :( which for me is Horribly in acceptable! The whole reason I wanted the phone was for the commercial it had about NEVER DELETE ANOTHER PHOTO! Hahaha ice had to delete a lot! If my device doesn't do it already for me including Pictures and video I WANTED! :( the battery is NoT As Good as it was Advertised! As for life of up time. If I knew then b4 purchasing this LG G5 I Would NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT!
The Good is: sound system is Super! It takes really great photos WHEN U CAN GET IT TO RESPOND OR NOT DELETE YOUR STUFF!! And I Personally Prefer the removable battery as a option! And the Expandable Storage option!!
Also The Metal body of this phone is SMART IT SAVED MY PHONE COMPLETLY SEVERAL TIMES!! But once that sticks out in my mind the most! I can honestly say I Accidently Dropped it while I was the passenger in a jeep wrangler with NO TOP and NO Doors! And Seen My NEW Phone Skidding Across the Road and We Were going at Least 55 mph!#
I COULDNT BELIEVE IT! Still WORKED ONLY THING IT SUSTAINED WAS A BROKEN GLASS COVER OVER THE FLASH AND SOME NICKS TO THE BODY OF THE PHONE! AMAZING. I DIDNT EXPECT TO EVEN HAVE A PHONE WHEN I GOT TO IT! And I had just removed the case for cleaning So That happened with bare phone! Also I want to add this- If you purchased a Life proof case for your phone as I did.... You will see that in its case a ear phone jack Can Not Make Connection! So that Stinks Too. That's about all I can think of. It would be nice if LG would outfit the buyers of this mess the LG g5 with some kind of compensation or just another phone for swap if this one.
Thanks. Best wishes and Good Luck.
No software upgrades sure that when this phone does finally get one available that it could possibly not do much for this hot mess.

Wish I could rate this phone a 0
One of the worst phones I've ever owned. I got two phones one for me and one for my roommate and both phones have the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. For example I just took my phone off the charger not even 30 minutes ago and my battery is now at 38%. Don't buy an LG phone if you have a choice. Have tried to reach out multiple times and never received a response from LG.

This is a great phone for the money.
I love this phone so far and have ordered the Cam Plus module and am looking forward to using it. Really love that the battery pops out easily and can pop another one in. No more having to get rid of your phone when the battery finally gives out. That right there makes this one great smart phone.

Worst phone ever
Purchased this phone 11 months ago-have had SIX (6) replacement phones since due to manufacturer defects. I have requested to change to a different manufacturer, but am unable to because I owe a device payment. Verizon just keeps sending refurbished replacements.This is the absolute worst phone I have ever used and I will never purchase another LG phone again and will make sure my friends and family do not purchase this defunct, high priced, unreliable phone.
