The New LG G5: It's Surely An Elite Buy!

New Delhi, Fri, 10 Jun 2016 NI Wire

The smartphone market has changed considerably over the years, now customers have a wide range of options to choose from. Whether you need a smart budget device or something elite, there are devices meeting every smartphone need of yours.

Joining the league of elite smartphones is the new LG G5 which certainly boasts of some high-end specifications. But how far these features actually fare would be clear once you go through this review. So, let's get started.

Look & Feel

LG G5 comes with a metal body that sports a separate frame and rear shell. But when you hold it hands, it will make you feel as if you're holding a plastic body. There are curved edges but the separate frame actually make it unappealing to hold. G5 sports 5.3-inch screen but its size makes it feel bulkier. At the back it has dual camera, laser autofocus window, color sensor and flash. The power button on the device also acts as fingerprint sensor and we must say that it really works fine.

The front part is majorly covered by screen with glass on top. The bottom is modular and can be removed. The dual SIM slot is placed at the right; on the left you have volume buttons and module lock switch. At the top, the device houses 3.5mm socket and Infrared blaster.

Display

LG G5 comes with 5.3-inch 1440x2560-pixel IPS LCD screen and has impressive 554ppi pixel density. The picture clarity is very sharp and the device offers a wonderful experience while watching videos, playing games or surfing through websites. The screen colors are quite vibrant and decent.

Processor & Storage

After Xiaomi Mi 5, LG G5 is the second smartphone to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. For storage, the device has 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage that is expandable up to 200GB through microSD card. It offers Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, and 4G connectivity. There is a USB 3.0 with a Type-C connector, and a 2800mAh battery. The real problem here is the internal memory of 32GB whereas similar contenders in the market are offering 34GB storage.

Software

LG G5 runs Android Marshmallow 6.0.1, along with LG's Optimus UI 5.0. By default, it's single-layered user interface. However, you can switch to a conventional dual-layered user interface. Software is moderately designed, and has neat layout.

Camera

LG G5 comes with dual-camera setup at the back and has 16-MP main camera with 8-MP support sensor. The selfie camera is 8-MP. The primary cameras will capture up to 2160p 30fps video, at the same time the front one is capable of shooting video at up to 1080p at 30fps. The rear camera also has a slow motion mode which will bump up your frame rate to 60fps at full-HD resolution. The camera also has features like optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, plus color spectrum sensor.

Performance

As it runs quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, the device turns out to be a capable performer. From playing games, shooting videos, shuffling between apps and others, the phone does it all effortlessly. It even handles multitasking amazingly.

Verdict

The LG G series devices have always faced some or the other problem. But LG G5 has worked on those trivial issues to offer great user experience. Its catching point is the modular base that allows you to add features and functionality to the phone.

It's only the build quality which we believe needs some improvement. The camera also is great as it has dual setup. With this price, the smartphone is less likely to pose any major problem.

So if you're looking for a high end device, this is surely a buy!
