Pros
Metal body with semi-modular design Gorgeous high-res display Powerful hardware Impressive snappers Cons
Flimsy build Modular accessories are pricey
With so many smartphones being launched every other day, we have often lamented the fact that they lack in innovation. This is true especially in the flagship segment, where it’s a given that devices will rock top-of-the-line specs. There’s little to differentiate between mobile devices nowadays, except for their pricing or value-for-money factor. Amidst this rather sad state of the mobile industry, the LG G5 comes across as a breath of fresh air and it has caught our attention ever since we laid our eyes on it at this year’s MWC. As noted in our first impressions , the G5 is loaded to the brim with innovative features, and spec nerds needn’t worry, as it matches up to other high-end handsets with its innards. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } But is it the best smartphone your money can buy? With its arch-rivals, the Samsung Galaxy S7 duo already getting rave reviews from critics and consumers alike, the G5 is in for an uphill battle. So what exactly does it brings to the arena? Let’s find out in our review.

Design: greater than the sum of its parts
Dimensions : 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.6 mm Weight : 159 grams
While most phone makers follow a uniform design language for their devices, LG has been constantly changing (read improving) the aesthetics of its flagship ‘G’ series. The Korean giant had been holding back until now to go the all-metal way for its flagships. But that changes with the G5, as the smartphone is crafted entirely from metal. Looking at the fascia, the LG G5 has minimal design attributes with the screen taking the centre-stage. Like its predecessors, the G5 offers rounded corners and sports a narrow bezel around its display panel with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 70 percent. What makes the mobile distinctive is its curved top panel above the display, which is home to the secondary snapper, an earpiece and a couple of sensors. Below the panel, you’ll find the LG logo and there are no hardware buttons for navigation. They are available virtually as part of the software interface. Another major change in the G5, in comparison to its previous avatars is the fact that the volume rocker isn’t available at the back. While LG pioneered the power toggle flanked by the volume buttons at the rear of the G2 , its latest flagship sports the keys to increase or decrease the volume towards the left edge. Further below, the left side has a button, whose purpose we’ll get down to it in a while. The right spine hides an ejectable tray, which can accept two nano-SIMs or a nano-SIM and a microSD card. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Up top lies the 3.5mm audio socket along with a noise-cancellation mic and an IR blaster, while at the base, there’s USB-Type C port, speakers, and the primary microphone. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } At the back of the LG G5, what will catch your attention is a strip in the middle which has not one but two camera sensors, along with the LED flash and Laser autofocus module in the middle. The strip juts out slightly and thus makes the phone a bit wobbly when it’s placed on a flat surface. Below it, you’ll find the power switch. Unlike the G3 ( review ) and G4 ( first impressions ), the button is now in a circular shape and it also serves another purpose – fingerprint authentication. Sadly, the button is very feeble and seems that it might break anytime. Towards the bottom, there’s G5’s branding. Our review unit was in a silver hue, which also adds to G5’s premiumness. You can also purchase the device in gold or grey options. However, it’s one thing that the phone looks premium and the other, if it feels the same – and that’s where LG’s offering fails to impress us. It sports a metal body, but that doesn’t offer a great in-hand feel, as the quality of the metal feels sub-par. In fact, we would go as far as to say that it’s predecessor, the G4 seemed much better with its leather back and metallic frame. The LG G5 maintains a sleek profile, thanks to its waist measuring 7.7mm. It’s not as lightweight as most devices out there and tips the scale at 159g. But you’d be able to use it single-handedly since LG has shrunk down the display. Unlike the phablet-sized G4, which had a 5.5-inch display, the G5 features a more manageable 5.3-inch screen. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } While Google’s Project Ara has been raising our hopes of a future where upgrading a phone would be as simple as swapping the required modules, LG has become the world’s first smartphone vendor to offer a modular design. Although we should mention, it’s not entirely modular, since only the base is removable, which only allows you to extend some capabilities of the LG G5. Removing the base is very easy though, as all you need to do is to press a button which is placed on the right edge, and the portion pops out. This design also has an additional advantage – along with the base, you can remove the battery too. This is the only smartphone that offers such capability even though it’s built out of metal and we’re sure that this will please power users. Now you may ask what would you be able to do by removing the base? Well, LG has an entire ecosystem of accessories for the same, which are aptly dubbed ‘Friends’. If you are a shutterbug, you can opt for the Cam Plus, which turns the G5 into a proper camera, offering better grip and dedicated controls for shooting pictures or videos, and zooming in on the subject. It also comes with a 1,200mAh battery, and thus adds to the available battery of the handset. Audio purists would love the Hi-Fi Play, which is a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and is built in partnership with renowned audio company B&O (Bang and Olufsen). It offers 32-bit audio playback along with and an additional 3.5mm socket. There are some other devices LG has launched for the G5, like the 360 camera and earphones, but they aren’t actually modular. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } A niggle we have with LG’s modular implementation is that the G5 switches off every time you remove the base, since the battery also gets detached. We believe the brand could have offered something like a reserve battery, which would have made the addition of modules hot-swappable and an instantaneous process. LG gets full marks for its ingenious design language of the G5, which also offers semi-modularity. However, it lacks a certain class that we see on other smartphones in the top-tier segment. Display: 2K is twice as good
Size : 5.3 Inch Resolution : 1440 x 2560 pixels Display Type : IPS LCD Pixel Density : 554 ppi
With the G3, the Korean company was among the first few manufacturers to jump on the 2k bandwagon. The LG G5 also keeps things the same with a rich 2k resolution, although the sharpness is slightly better thanks to the smaller display of 5.3-inches, which results in a pixel density of 554ppi. The IPS panel also offers good colour saturation and wide viewing angles. The brightness levels are also decent, although we did find it to be a tad low for our liking, especially in outdoor conditions. It was slightly difficult to make out the text under harsh sunlight. LG debuted the always-on display with the V10 ( first impressions ), which flaunted a secondary display. With the G5 however, the brand has managed to incorporate the feature on the main display itself. As the name suggests, the display is always awake to tell you the time as well as missed notifications. LG’s implementation is certainly better than the always-on display on the Samsung Galaxy S7 duo, because you are also able to see missed notifications directly on app icons (limited to four apps). if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Protecting the display against scratches and minor knocks is a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Software: Marshmallow candy, coated with a Chinese flavour
Operating System : Android OS Version : 6.0, Marshmallow
Unlike most Android skins, LG’s UI is known to only add a coat of visual changes in terms of icons along with some useful additions on top of Android. With the G5 however, the company is following in the footsteps of Chinese companies with its skin simply dubbed LG UX 5.0. While earlier, LG’s devices offered a dedicated app drawer, now the homescreen doubles up as an app launcher too. Of course, the LG G5 ships with the latest iteration of Android, i.e. 6.0 Marshmallow. Talking about the basics, you won’t find anything surprising as such. The lock screen lets you access the voice command, phone app or the camera directly, while the notification drawer has the quick toggles on top, with notifications below. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } While we are on the fence about LG’s decision to not offer the app menu, there’s a workaround option by switching to EasyHome , although it results in bigger text. You can also install the LG Home & App drawer app from LG SmartWorld to get the usual interface. The SmartWorld app also lets you download themes and wallpapers for the handset. The UI also offers a dedicated homescreen towards the left, monikered as Smart Bulletin . It provides an at-a-glance view of your step count, calendar schedule, music playback controls, etc. The brand must be applauded for keeping the preinstalled apps to a minimum on the device. There’s Facebook , Evernote , and Instagram along with some useful titles from LG. Management acts as a one-stop app for options to enhance battery life, optimise the phone with Smart Doctor , and check the status of memory or RAM among other things. LG QuickRemote lets you control home appliances with the available IR blaster, whereas LG Health tracks your steps actively along with activities such as running or cycling. If you’ve purchased accessories for the G5, you can control them via the LG Friends Manager app. We also liked the option to re-install apps you’ve uninstalled, since the phone keeps them in memory for up to 24 hours. LG was the first brand to offer double-tap-to-unlock functionality, which has now become a must-have for most smartphones. But what’s interesting is that it has also managed to offer the double-tap-to-lock feature, which is really handy, since it’s not always ideal to reach for the power toggle at the rear of the G5. In the locked state, the phone also lets you make use of the volume keys. Pressing the volume up key twice opens the Capture+ app to quickly jot down notes, while you can access the camera app by double-pressing the volume down button. The UI also offers Smart settings , which lets you define the sound profile, and the state of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending where you are. Whenever you are at home for instance, you can set the sound profile to loud, connect to the Wi-Fi network automatically, etc. Similarly, whenever you plug in your earphones, the LG G5 can open an app chosen by you, instantly. While talking about the interface, we must highlight LG’s default keyboard app. More often than not, we always replace the Google keyboard app with SwiftKey irrespective of the phone we’re reviewing, but with the G5, we didn’t feel the need to do that since the available keyboard is really accurate and supports swipe-to-type as well. The keyboard also intelligently suggests emojis for the text you’ve typed. You can also tweak the layout of navigation buttons and choose between a white or black background. The fingerprint module on the LG G5 can store up to five fingerprints, and it’s quite fast, but not as quick as some other devices we’ve come across recently. Thanks to its 360-degree authentication, the scanner is accurate and you can unlock the phone by keeping your fingers on the button or by pressing it. You can also use the fingerprint-based security to lock content in the gallery and QuickMemo+ app. Overall, the LG UX has some nifty features but feels a little inconsistent, and reminds us of yesteryear’s TouchWiz UI from Samsung. Camera: widening your horizons
Primary camera : 16 MP Flash : Dual-color LED Flash Secondary camera : 8 MP
Without a doubt, Samsung smartphones reign when it comes to photography in the Android arena. However, one brand that manages to keep up with the Chaebol is its counterpart LG. The previous flagships from LG have impressed us, and the G5 takes it up a notch. What’s more interesting is that LG isn’t following the herd since most high-end offerings nowadays are reducing the megapixels in a bid to offer better image quality. Instead, the LG G5 offers not one, but two cameras at the back – one with 16-megapixels resolution with a wide aperture of f/1.8 and the secondary shooter rated at 8MP. But unlike many other implementations of dual sensors, the G5 gives you the ability to get the wide-angle view of 135 degrees with a single click. The phone also brings forth useful features such as laser autofocus, LED flash and optical image stabilisation. The camera interface on the LG G5 would please novices and shutterbugs alike. It’s filled to the brim with a wide range of options. Kept in the landscape orientation, you can switch between clicking photos or videos, preview images or return to the homescreen with options towards the right. The left side offers you the ability to access various modes, switch to the front camera, toggle flash or access settings. There are a number of modes available such as Multi-view , which make use of the all three camera sensors or Popout , which utilises the rear cameras to offer some cool effects. Of course, you get a Manual mode that lets you play with ISO, exposure levels, shutter speed and more to get the desired output, along with allowing saving images in the RAW format. The LG G5 impresses us with its camera quality across situations. Long shots have a good amount of detail along with accurate colour reproduction, and so do the close up images, which look even better with the depth-of-field effect. The HDR mode also does its job well and low-light shots aren’t as noisy. All this is expected from a top-end smartphone, and that’s why the wide-angle view sets it apart from the competition. You can instantly fit a larger scenery in the same frame, without affecting the quality. Although, if we were to nitpick, at full size, the wide-angle images show some signs of pixelation in comparison to pictures taken with the main snapper. We have already taken a comprehensive look at the camera performance of the LG G5 , but here are some samples for your viewing pleasure. The front 8-megapixel camera will be loved by selfie addicts. The images are sharp and vibrant as well. If you’re shooting in poor lighting, the screen flash feature comes handy. We also liked the fact that you can open the camera app by pressing the volume rocker twice, even when the LG G5 is locked. In terms of videos as well the LG G5 won’t disappoint you. It lets you capture videos in UHD resolution, along with slow-mo and timelapse videos. The slow-mo videos can be captured at 60 fps, which results in a smoother output. All in all, the LG G5 is among the best smartphone cameras available in the market and the dual cameras can also offer amazing results, when used wisely. However, it’s not able to match up to Samsung’s latest, the Galaxy S7 duo ( camera review ). Performance: zip, zap, zoom
CPU : Quad core, 2.1 GHz + Quad core, 1.5 GHz, Snapdragon 820 GPU : Adreno 530 RAM : 4 GB Memory : 32 GB + Up to 2 TB SIM Slots : Dual SIM , GSM
LG has always packed Qualcomm’s top-tier processor in its flagships so much so that the G Flex 2 ( first impressions ) was the first device to use the Snapdragon 810. However, due to the heating fiasco in SD810, the Korean giant had to use Snapdragon 808 in the G4 instead of the flagship 810 silicon from the chipmaker. But with the G5, the company has employed Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC, the Snapdragon 820. In fact, when it was unveiled at MWC in February, it was among the first few phones to come with this processor, which offers four custom-built Kryo cores based on 64-bit architecture. The processor offers two high-power cores tuned at 2.15GHz, while the low-power cores run at 1.6GHz. The CPU is accompanied by the Adreno 530 GPU for rendering graphics. The hardware makes sure that the LG G5 flies through anything thrown at it. There was nary an instance where we felt that it wasn’t able to handle heavy apps or games. We played Injustice: Gods Among us and Modern Combat 5: Blackout for hours, and it didn’t break into sweat even once. Multitasking on the LG G5 is buttery smooth as well, thanks to 4 gigs of RAM. Even with multiple apps opened, it usually hs around a gigabyte to spare. The Snapdragon 820 also manages heat dissipation efficiently, with the phone only getting warm at the upper portion of the rear. The good thing is that this happens only when you push the phone to its limits with heavy gaming or 4K video recording. The phone comes with 32GB of flash memory on board, out of which around 23.2GB is available to you. It should be sufficient for installing apps or storing your multimedia files, but if not, you can slide in a microSD card of up to 2TB to extend the storage. However, it’s worth noting that the LG G5 doesn’t support Marshmallow’s Adoptable Storage, which lets the OS treat the microSD card as internal storage. The LG G5 supports two SIM cards, with the secondary slot being of hybrid type. It has also got you covered when it comes to other connectivity options, with Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, IR blaster, and GPS on offer. With its high-def display, watching movies or playing games is a delightful affair on the G5. However, the speaker output isn’t that loud, and the fact that they are placed at the base results in an even poorer experience, since your hands are placed naturally on them, when the mobile is held in the horizontal position. Battery: good, but could be better
Capacity : 2800 mAH, Li-ion Talktime : Up to 19 Hours (2G) Standby Time : Up to 240 Hours (2G)
Time and again, we have stated that specs are just a number, and that notion is strengthened further with the battery life of the LG G5. On paper, the 2,800mAh capacity seems a tad low considering today’s standards and the 2k display it has to power up. However, in real life, the battery should get you through your entire working day. Even with the Wi-Fi hotspot or GPS turned on, and gaming for a considerable time, the phone had some juice left towards the evening. On an average, we got screen-on time between three and a half to four hours, which is decent for the battery capacity. The phone excelled in our battery loop test as well, since it was able to run an HD video on loop for roughly 13 hours and 30 minutes, with both the brightness and volume set at 50 percent and only cellular connectivity turned on. But sadly for the G5, the competition, including the S7 duo and HTC 10, offer much better battery life. On the plus side though, you have the option to swap out the battery. But be warned that sliding out the battery from the base requires a lot of effort and patience since more often than not, you fear that you might break it. You can also enable Battery Saver to extend the battery life. Although that doesn’t seem to do much apart from turning off the Always-on display. There’s Game optimizer mode too, which puts less strain on the battery while gaming. Since the LG G5 is equipped with the Snapdragon 820, it also features Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 technology. But it’s odd that the bundled adapter supports only the Quick Charge 2.0 standard. The handset also lacks wireless charging capability. Even then, charging is quite fast as the device can juice up from zero to 100 percent in approximately 90 minutes. Verdict In today’s market, you can get affordable flagships such as the recently-launched OnePlus 3 ( review | FAQs ) or LeEco Le Max 2 ( first impressions ) at almost half the price of the G5, which offer a beefy 6 gigs of RAM. However, the Korean titan has ensured that the hardware powering the show on the G5 is just one part of the story. LG’s latest flagship justifies its price tag by packing in interesting innovations – a semi-modular design, dual camera sensors along with catering to power users with features like removable battery, while keeping the sticker price of Rs 52,990, which is similar to other premium flagships. That said, it’s one thing to offer innovation, and another to make it work flawlessly – and that’s where the G5 starts faltering. It might be the first smartphone globally to feature a semi-modular design, but that’s not how modularity was supposed to be when it was teased a couple of years back. The idea of modularity – which Google’s Project Ara is also envisioning – is to be able to swap components from the device for new ones. For example, adding a better camera module in place of the default one. But that’s not possible with LG’s top-end offering. You can only extend its capabilities with the Cam Plus module or Hi-Fi Plus module, for turning the phone into a camera or an audio-centric device. Plus, there’s an additional cost involved, since you have to pay Rs 6,990 for the Cam Plus. LG is yet to reveal the pricing of the Hi-Fi Plus. There are some other accessories as well under LG’s Friends programme – the 360 CAM, 360 VR, and a Tone Platinum Bluetooth headset. However, they aren’t modular as such. The brand has promised to offer more modular devices with its Playground initiative, and in our opinion, that can certainly make the LG G5 more lucrative. It’s more prudent since Lenovo-owned Motorola recently took covers off its Moto Z flagships that also come with snap-on functionality dubbed Moto Mods . While one can argue that its implementation isn’t exactly modular, some of the accessories showcased by the company seem quite useful. Plus Lenovo has opened the platform for developers for launching compatible mods. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate LG for its efforts, but they aren’t very practical. And, if those are removed from the equation, then Samsung’s Galaxy S7 duo scores higher on almost all counts – beautiful design, slightly better display (thanks to the AMOLED panels), superior cameras (due to the dual-pixels technology) and better battery life, along with waterproof capabilities. You also get to choose between the Galaxy S7 ( review ), which is compact, or the Galaxy S7 edge ( review ), which is a phablet and ups the style quotient with its dual edges. Completing the holy trinity of Android flagships for 2016 is HTC 10 ( review ), which is a great smartphone as well, although we’d probably pick the G5 over it. In sum, the LG G5 is a special smartphone in the Android space, but it’s very difficult to recommend it over Samsung’s latest pair of flagships. But if you are among those who want to stand out from the crowd, then you can’t go wrong with it.

While it might not a heavyweight in the smartphone industry, it’s hard to overlook LG’s contribution to the same. At a time when headphone jacks were disappearing like a puff of smoke from smartphones, audiophiles turned over to LG’s doorsteps as the brand’s then flagship offerings shipped with high-res 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC . More recently, the company unveiled an outrageous swivelling phone called the LG Wing that puts forward a unique and dare I say, unusual take on smartphone form factors. Now that the shift towards foldable smartphones is catching steam, LG has approached the same in a very different way. You might remember last year’s G8X ThinQ ( review ) which came with a DualScreen case accessory, thereby giving users a secondary screen to interact with alongside the main screen. That way, you could basically open the phone like a book and essentially multi-task better using both screens. However, in my review of the phone, I had concluded that the G8X was creating solutions to problems that don’t really exist. Furthermore, the smartphone’s build quality left a bit to be desired. Enter, LG Velvet , a good-looking successor which carries on the G8X’s legacy by offering a dual-screen case, albeit backed by slightly dated specs. In markets outside of India, the LG Velvet is a 5G smartphone powered by the mid-range Snapdragon 765G SoC. However, in the country, LG has opted for a Snapdragon 845 version of the phone. Qualcomm is soon going to release the Snapdragon 888 chipset in a month’s time, which begs the question – is the LG Velvet, with its dual-screen pizazz worth it? More importantly, do you want a phone with two displays? Let’s try and answer them both in this review.

Verdict Design and display Dual-screen Cameras Performance and software Battery Final Verdict Editor’s rating: 3.5 / 5 Pros: Cons: Key Specs LG Velvet
Verdict The LG Velvet on its own is one of the most elegant looking devices you can buy currently, but using an old chipset does not help the phone’s cause. The DualScreen accessory is more of a problem than a solution and masks the real charm of the Velvet. Purchase this device only if you are heavily invested in multi-tasking for which operating two screens at a time is a necessity. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } Design and display Display: 6.8-inch Super AMOLED Resolution: FHD+ ( 2,460 x 1,080 ) Refresh rate: 60Hz Protection: Gorilla Glass 5 SIM: Dual nano Connectivity: USB Type-C Let’s put the DualScreen case aside for a minute and marvel at the LG Velvet’s premium looks. The handset’s narrow aspect ratio and tapered edges lend it an incredibly lightweight yet premium in-hand feel. The Velvet is an instrument of precision, be it with its triple camera setup that sits flush to the chassis, or the elegant curves on the sides or its razor-thin girth at just 7.9mm. It would be a travesty to slap the phone in a case, DualScreen or otherwise, yet the glass sandwich construction nearly slipped from my hands on more than one occasion. The weight and width strike a perfect balance making for a very comfortable user experience. Oh yes, the phone is also IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. The rear of the device, as expected, is a fingerprint magnet too but despite that, I must admit – it’s been a while since a phone’s design has left me this impressed. LG Velvet’s undulating black colour scheme carries over from the front to the back and is very easy on the eye. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } As for ports, the Velvet features a 3.5mm headphone jack, although it lacks the company’s signature quad DAC seen on LG’s earlier flagship phones. Apart from that, there is a Type-C port and a speaker grille at the bottom, with the earpiece at the top doubling up as a speaker as well. The volume controls are present on the left, along with a dedicated Google assistant toggle, while the power button is on the phone’s right-hand spine. All buttons feature a slit-like design owing to the curvature of the back and front but despite that, they offer ample tactility. Up top, the LG Velvet features a dual nano-SIM slot with room for an additional microSD card slot as well. There is no physical fingerprint sensor as the LG Velvet uses the in-display variety. LG has always been at the top of the smartphone display game along with Samsung. Previous LG phones that I’ve used had some of the nicest panels with solid colours and optimum brightness levels and the scenery remains unchanged with the LG Velvet. The smartphone features a substantially large 6.8-inch Full HD+ (2,460 x 1,080) P-OLED display with a cinematic 20.5:9 aspect ratio. As a matter of fact, the LG Velvet showcases deeper reds and more pronounced blacks as compared to my Galaxy S20 Plus ( review ). LG doesn’t specify how bright the display can get, but I didn’t face any legibility issues even when viewing the screen under the harshest of sunlight. My only gripe? LG is still sticking to a 60Hz panel when competitors like Xiaomi are pushing 144Hz on the Mi 10T Pro ( review ). Also, the waterdrop notch housing the selfie camera looks outdated in front of a deluge of punch-hole cameras in the market. Furthermore, the curved edges don’t contribute to any extra screen real estate and instead only add to the phone’s aesthetics. Consequently, the panel on the Velvet is surrounded by relatively thicker bezels. Even so, the visual experience coupled with the phone’s excellent audio backup (more on that later) make it a joy to watch any content on the LG Velvet. The phone has WideVine L1 certification for HD streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar and there is also HDR support on the LG Velvet. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Dual-screen Till now, I’ve described the LG Velvet as a standalone device and have not paid much attention to its dual-screen case. Since the case happens to be the biggest selling point of the phone, let’s now talk about how you can operate the phone with it. Point to note, currently, the LG Velvet can only be purchased with the case included. Packaged in a separate box, the LG DualScreen accessory is slightly thinner than what I had previously seen with the LG G8X. Towards the back, the case offers a more rugged finish and has precise cutouts that align with the Velvet’s cameras. Towards the front, the case comes equipped with an ambient display that shows basic information such as time, date, day, battery percentage, and notification icons. Inserting the Velvet in the case is a fairly straightforward process, but taking it out requires unnecessary effort. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } The phone snaps with the case’s Type-C port and is firmly held in place. Much like the G8X ThinQ, the DualScreen case provides ample protection to the device from all sides due to its thick construction. The secondary display is an exact replica of the Velvet’s screen minus the sloping edges. However, the screen is not exactly adjacent to the Velvet, sitting ever so slightly above it due to the hinge’s construction. The entire setup can swivel 360-degrees. Let’s get into some of the advantages of such an arrangement. I had discussed most of them in my earlier review of the G8X DualScreen. The most important aspect is the ability to open two apps simultaneously on both screens which can be a big productivity boost. For instance, you can watch a YouTube video while replying to a text on WhatsApp, or, you can use the camera app to take photos and view them simultaneously in the gallery. If you’re into game streaming, then you could quite easily play a game on the bottom screen while watching your Twitch or YouTube Live stream on the top. I was able to access Gmail on one screen while monitoring my Swiggy order simultaneously. The second screen also works to immediately display the photo I have taken while the viewfinder is on the first screen. Slack can be open on one side, while WhatsApp can be viewed on the second screen and so on and so on. Then, there’s the LG GamePad utility that was also present on the G8X ThinQ, and it provides virtual controls and joysticks on the bottom screen whilst gaming on the Velvet. These buttons can be remapped to perform the required in-game actions. It goes without saying that LG Velvet’s dual-screens also make the phone an excellent e-book reader. Also, the entire second screen can be made into a virtual keyboard to give you a better typing experience. Bottom line: The biggest use case for the DualScreen is the ease of multi-tasking. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } However, all is not rosy and it didn’t take long for the setup’s thickness to affect my day to day usage. With the case attached to the phone at all times, the otherwise slender LG Velvet becomes cumbersome to carry around in your pocket. Then there is the added task of having to open the case to get any work done as the ambient display cannot be interacted with. While you can type on the phone with the secondary display rotated all the way to the back, the experience is uncomfortable, to say the least. Even then, the second screen is unceremoniously placed under my fingers where it will quite likely get scratched. In this positioning, reaching the volume and Google Assistant buttons is also not easy. Adding to my woes, you can’t charge your phone through the case unless you use a very small magnetic adapter that I nearly lost twice in three days. Removing the phone from the case places significant stress on the Type-C port which is very likely to get damaged over time. Suffice it to say, using the phone with the dual-screen case isn’t as seamless an experience LG would have you believe. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } Cameras Rear cameras: 48MP main, 8MP wide-angle, and 5MP depth Front cameras: 16MP Video shooting: 4K @ 30fps, 1080p @ 30/60fps, 720 @ 30/60/240fps LG has made use of a triple-camera setup which includes a 48MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP depth sensor. Towards the front, housed inside the waterdrop notch, is the phone’s 16MP selfie-shooter with f/1.9 aperture. LG phones have generally faired well in the camera department and the Velvet holds up to the company’s reputation. Daylight performance is very satisfactory with crisp detailing even in an overcast environment. The camera focuses rapidly on the subject and the shutter speed is just as fast too. While Samsung phones tend to introduce more saturation in the shots, LG’s colour science with the Velvet sways in favour of balanced hues. As such, there is realism in shots with colours reproduced more to the actual tone of the subject. You can digitally zoom in to 10X but the image quality takes a bad hit after 3X. Even so, the dynamic range is ample and the sensor’s exposure handling is also quite good in most conditions. There is a fair bit of warping at the edges in ultra-wide shots but detailing at the centre and colour reproduction is on par with the primary sensor. There are no macro capabilities on the ultra-wide sensor like we have seen a couple of phones. Finally, the depth sensor does its job of background separation for some very good portrait shots. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } At night, the camera churns out pretty impressive shots even when there is little external lighting from street lamps. There is a dedicated Night Mode, but the need for it arises scarcely unless you are shooting something in extreme darkness. The primary sensor’s exposure and detailing are quite good for low lighting conditions but the ultra-wide lens will not give you any usable shots. Shadows and highlights are brought out in most of the scenes with autoHDR. In short, you will not be disappointed shooting with this device irrespective of the lighting conditions. The 16MP selfie shooter did a decent job when the lighting was good. Skin tones matched and there was no overzealous sharpening of facial details. However, as the lighting dropped, exposure was not being handled well and shots were turning out to be increasingly noisy. With the DualScreen accessory attached you have something called a reflector mode wherein the second screen throws some more natural light on your face for a better shot. Not very effective but a viable alternative to the blinding screen flash of the main screen. In the video department, the LG Velvet can shoot up to 4K @ 30fps, 1080p @ 30,60fps and 720p @ 30,60, 120 fps. To be fair, the video quality is not bad, but there are much better options to shoot videos such as the iPhone SE 2020 ( review ) or the OnePlus 8T ( review ). if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } divn2-ss-261{width:800px;float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;}html[dir="rtl"] divn2-ss-261{float:right;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-1{position:relative;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;height:600px;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:3e3e3e;border-color:RGBA(62,62,62,1);border-radius:0px;background-clip:padding-box;background-repeat:repeat;background-position:50% 50%;background-size:cover;background-attachment:scroll;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-background-video-container{position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:hidden;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-2{position:relative;width:100%;height:100%;}.x-firefox divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-2{opacity:0.99999;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-3{position:relative;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:hidden;outline:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0);z-index:10;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide-backgrounds,divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-3 > .n-particles-js-canvas-el,divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-3 > .n2-ss-divider{position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide-backgrounds{z-index:10;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slider-3 > .n-particles-js-canvas-el{z-index:12;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide-backgrounds > *{overflow:hidden;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;z-index:20;display:block;-webkit-backface-visibility:hidden;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-layers-container{position:relative;width:800px;height:600px;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-parallax-clip > .n2-ss-layers-container{position:absolute;right:0;}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide{perspective:1500px;}divn2-ss-261[data-ie] .n2-ss-slide{perspective:none;transform:perspective(1500px);}divn2-ss-261 .n2-ss-slide-active{z-index:21;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow{cursor:pointer;overflow:hidden;line-height:0 !important;z-index:20;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow img{position:relative;min-height:0;min-width:0;vertical-align:top;width:auto;height:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:100%;display:inline;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow img.n2-arrow-hover-img{display:none;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow:HOVER img.n2-arrow-hover-img{display:inline;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow:HOVER img.n2-arrow-normal-img{display:none;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated{overflow:hidden;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated > div{position:relative;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated .n2-active{position:absolute;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-fade{transition:background 0.3s, opacity 0.4s;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal > div{transition:all 0.4s;left:0;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal .n2-active{top:0;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-previous.nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal:HOVER > div,divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-next.nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal .n2-active{left:-100%;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-previous.nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal .n2-active,divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-next.nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal:HOVER > div{left:100%;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow.nextend-arrow-animated-horizontal:HOVER .n2-active{left:0;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-vertical > div{transition:all 0.4s;top:0;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-vertical .n2-active{left:0;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-vertical .n2-active{top:-100%;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-vertical:HOVER > div{top:100%;}divn2-ss-261 .nextend-arrow-animated-vertical:HOVER .n2-active{top:0;}
Performance and software Chipset: Snapdragon 845 RAM: 6GB Storage: 128GB, expandable to 2TB Software: LG UX 10 with Android 10 LG Velvet utilises a chipset that made its debut in flagship smartphones more than two years back. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 is not really a bad SoC, but it is past its time. Most other competitors, such as the OnePlus 8T, Realme X50 Pro ( review ), or iQOO 3 5G ( review ) pack in the much more refined 7nm Snapdragon 865 chipset. What this means is that LG Velvet lags behind not only in terms of raw power but also power efficiency. This is revealed prominently in benchmark scores when compared to the OnePlus 8T. LG Velvet’s Geekbench 5 single-core and multi-core scores happen to be 515 and 2,110 respectively while the same for the 8T are 868 and 3,147. As for Antutu, the Velvet’s 349,835 score is demolished by the 8T’s 591,424. Part of the reason for the difference in scores is that the LG Velvet packs in only 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The OnePlus 8T on test had 12GB of RAM but even the starting variant, priced at Rs 42,999 has at least 8GB RAM. The Velvet’s drop in performance is noticeable in daily usage with slight stutters when shifting between heavy apps like Instagram, Google Maps and Spotify. Also, the relatively lower RAM means fewer apps stay open in the background. However, normal usage is more than fine which includes opening a few tabs on Chrome, browsing through Facebook or streaming content. Scrolling and touch response was smooth and responsive. However, I wouldn’t play a lot of heavy intensity games like Call of Duty: Mobile or Shadowgun Legends owing to the occasional frame drops and overheating after about 30 minutes. On the authentication front, the phone packs in an in-display fingerprint sensor that registers in a jiffy but it had a few mishits while recognising my finger. Face unlock is quick but the 2D face scan could be less secure than your fingerprint. LG has not certified the Velvet with wired High-res audio and also dispensed off with the fan favourite 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC . To compensate, the company has included a 3D Audio Engine that offers four settings which are Auto, Cinema, Music and Voice. The audio experience was quite immersive and full, although I did not have any LG phone with quad DAC to test it against. Wireless codecs like Qualcomm’s aptX, seen in most wireless audio products, is also supported on the Velvet. The dual speakers were extremely crisp, loud and had a depth to them, making them easily one of the best mobile speakers I have used in a while. The phone supports GSM/LTE/HSPA/VoLTE connectivity options. I tested the phone on Noida’s Jio network and faced no problems with call drops or microphone quality. There is a slit in the DualScreen case so that you can take calls with the case but you will need to open the case to answer the phone first. Software-wise, the LG Velvet comes with its customised skin called LG UX 10 based on Android 10. A significant part of the competition has already ported to Android 11, with some like the OnePlus 8T offering it out of the box. LG is also known to be notoriously slow in providing software updates, so that is something to keep in mind as well. However, apart from the lack of an app drawer, LG’s theme was to my liking. The skin is reasonably light on the OS with minimal bloatware, most of which is tucked away in different folders. The DualScreen accessory is instantly detected by the phone and the main display offers options to keep content playing on the main screen or shift it to the second screen. You also have the option to swap screens or put the main screen to sleep while you watch some content on the second display. Different apps work differently with the DualScreen and it will be a learning curve to find out what functionalities suit your needs. Battery Battery: 4,300mAh Charging speeds: 18W FlashCharge 0-50 percent: 50 minutes Despite its remarkably thin chassis, the LG Velvet happens to have decent 4,300mAh battery housed inside, and the device lasts for reasonably long time. This includes powering a secondary display, although when not in use the screen remains in sleep mode. In PCMark 10’s Battery 2.0 test, the phone showed a score of 12 hours 45 minutes, which is a shade lower than what you would expect from a 4,300mAh cell. However, in real-world usage, even with the second screen, I was getting about 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time. The phone usually lasted me till the end of the day with about 15 percent battery left. You will get Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4.0 on the Velvet which will juice up your battery at 18W. Compared to some of the 50W, 65W or even 120W chargers, the Velvet’s charging speeds are do seem slow. You will need at least two hours to charge from 0-100 percent. Final Verdict On its own, the LG Velvet has one of the most best designs I’ve seen on a smartphone in some time. It has the looks, feels good in the hand and it is one of the thinnest phones on the market. Its image taking capabilities are excellent and the audio experience is one of the best. However, middling hardware, slow charging speeds, baseline refresh rate and a bleak promise of software updates play to the detriment of the device. Of course, you can’t buy the LG Velvet standalone as you could back in October when it was announced for a starting price of Rs 36,990. The DualScreen accessory is part of the deal and is inevitably going to be part of the conversation around the phone. My personal experience with the phone didn’t entail the usage of the DualScreen for a prolonged time. While the software implementation has been thought out, there are some obvious caveats like not able to drag and drop items from one screen to the other. Putting the phone in the case is fairly easy but taking it out is quite a task and I fear that constantly yanking on the case’s Type-C port will result in it breaking. With the case on, the LG Velvet loses a lot of its charm and feel-good factor. No matter how hard LG tries, a DualScreen will not really be a replacement of foldable displays. For these reasons, I think the LG Velvet and its compulsory DualScreen accessory might not be a right fit with the Indian audience. The OnePlus 8T or the iQOO 3 5G are some of the finest devices that you can purchase for Rs 44,990 from a hardware standpoint. Vivo’s X50 Pro is also a device worth considering for some of the top-end smartphone photography and video shooting. Buy the LG Velvet if you think the DualScreen can serve your purpose, and can fit a sizeably thick smartphone inside your pockets. Editor’s rating: 3.5 / 5 Pros: Great design Capable cameras Decent battery life Amazing audio experience Cons: DualScreen accessory is cumbersome Screen locked at 60Hz refresh rate Chipset should have been better

Flimsy build Modular accessories are pricey
With so many smartphones being launched every other day, we have often lamented the fact that they lack in innovation. This is true especially in the flagship segment, where it’s a given that devices will rock top-of-the-line specs. There’s little to differentiate between mobile devices nowadays, except for their pricing or value-for-money factor. Amidst this rather sad state of the mobile industry, the LG G5 comes across as a breath of fresh air and it has caught our attention ever since we laid our eyes on it at this year’s MWC. As noted in our first impressions , the G5 is loaded to the brim with innovative features, and spec nerds needn’t worry, as it matches up to other high-end handsets with its innards. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } But is it the best smartphone your money can buy? With its arch-rivals, the Samsung Galaxy S7 duo already getting rave reviews from critics and consumers alike, the G5 is in for an uphill battle. So what exactly does it brings to the arena? Let’s find out in our review.

While most phone makers follow a uniform design language for their devices, LG has been constantly changing (read improving) the aesthetics of its flagship ‘G’ series. The Korean giant had been holding back until now to go the all-metal way for its flagships. But that changes with the G5, as the smartphone is crafted entirely from metal. Looking at the fascia, the LG G5 has minimal design attributes with the screen taking the centre-stage. Like its predecessors, the G5 offers rounded corners and sports a narrow bezel around its display panel with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 70 percent. What makes the mobile distinctive is its curved top panel above the display, which is home to the secondary snapper, an earpiece and a couple of sensors. Below the panel, you’ll find the LG logo and there are no hardware buttons for navigation. They are available virtually as part of the software interface. Another major change in the G5, in comparison to its previous avatars is the fact that the volume rocker isn’t available at the back. While LG pioneered the power toggle flanked by the volume buttons at the rear of the G2 , its latest flagship sports the keys to increase or decrease the volume towards the left edge. Further below, the left side has a button, whose purpose we’ll get down to it in a while. The right spine hides an ejectable tray, which can accept two nano-SIMs or a nano-SIM and a microSD card. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Up top lies the 3.5mm audio socket along with a noise-cancellation mic and an IR blaster, while at the base, there’s USB-Type C port, speakers, and the primary microphone. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } At the back of the LG G5, what will catch your attention is a strip in the middle which has not one but two camera sensors, along with the LED flash and Laser autofocus module in the middle. The strip juts out slightly and thus makes the phone a bit wobbly when it’s placed on a flat surface. Below it, you’ll find the power switch. Unlike the G3 ( review ) and G4 ( first impressions ), the button is now in a circular shape and it also serves another purpose – fingerprint authentication. Sadly, the button is very feeble and seems that it might break anytime. Towards the bottom, there’s G5’s branding. Our review unit was in a silver hue, which also adds to G5’s premiumness. You can also purchase the device in gold or grey options. However, it’s one thing that the phone looks premium and the other, if it feels the same – and that’s where LG’s offering fails to impress us. It sports a metal body, but that doesn’t offer a great in-hand feel, as the quality of the metal feels sub-par. In fact, we would go as far as to say that it’s predecessor, the G4 seemed much better with its leather back and metallic frame. The LG G5 maintains a sleek profile, thanks to its waist measuring 7.7mm. It’s not as lightweight as most devices out there and tips the scale at 159g. But you’d be able to use it single-handedly since LG has shrunk down the display. Unlike the phablet-sized G4, which had a 5.5-inch display, the G5 features a more manageable 5.3-inch screen. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } While Google’s Project Ara has been raising our hopes of a future where upgrading a phone would be as simple as swapping the required modules, LG has become the world’s first smartphone vendor to offer a modular design. Although we should mention, it’s not entirely modular, since only the base is removable, which only allows you to extend some capabilities of the LG G5. Removing the base is very easy though, as all you need to do is to press a button which is placed on the right edge, and the portion pops out. This design also has an additional advantage – along with the base, you can remove the battery too. This is the only smartphone that offers such capability even though it’s built out of metal and we’re sure that this will please power users. Now you may ask what would you be able to do by removing the base? Well, LG has an entire ecosystem of accessories for the same, which are aptly dubbed ‘Friends’. If you are a shutterbug, you can opt for the Cam Plus, which turns the G5 into a proper camera, offering better grip and dedicated controls for shooting pictures or videos, and zooming in on the subject. It also comes with a 1,200mAh battery, and thus adds to the available battery of the handset. Audio purists would love the Hi-Fi Play, which is a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and is built in partnership with renowned audio company B&O (Bang and Olufsen). It offers 32-bit audio playback along with and an additional 3.5mm socket. There are some other devices LG has launched for the G5, like the 360 camera and earphones, but they aren’t actually modular. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } A niggle we have with LG’s modular implementation is that the G5 switches off every time you remove the base, since the battery also gets detached. We believe the brand could have offered something like a reserve battery, which would have made the addition of modules hot-swappable and an instantaneous process. LG gets full marks for its ingenious design language of the G5, which also offers semi-modularity. However, it lacks a certain class that we see on other smartphones in the top-tier segment. Display: 2K is twice as good
Size : 5.3 Inch Resolution : 1440 x 2560 pixels Display Type : IPS LCD Pixel Density : 554 ppi
With the G3, the Korean company was among the first few manufacturers to jump on the 2k bandwagon. The LG G5 also keeps things the same with a rich 2k resolution, although the sharpness is slightly better thanks to the smaller display of 5.3-inches, which results in a pixel density of 554ppi. The IPS panel also offers good colour saturation and wide viewing angles. The brightness levels are also decent, although we did find it to be a tad low for our liking, especially in outdoor conditions. It was slightly difficult to make out the text under harsh sunlight. LG debuted the always-on display with the V10 ( first impressions ), which flaunted a secondary display. With the G5 however, the brand has managed to incorporate the feature on the main display itself. As the name suggests, the display is always awake to tell you the time as well as missed notifications. LG’s implementation is certainly better than the always-on display on the Samsung Galaxy S7 duo, because you are also able to see missed notifications directly on app icons (limited to four apps). if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Protecting the display against scratches and minor knocks is a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Software: Marshmallow candy, coated with a Chinese flavour
Operating System : Android OS Version : 6.0, Marshmallow
Unlike most Android skins, LG’s UI is known to only add a coat of visual changes in terms of icons along with some useful additions on top of Android. With the G5 however, the company is following in the footsteps of Chinese companies with its skin simply dubbed LG UX 5.0. While earlier, LG’s devices offered a dedicated app drawer, now the homescreen doubles up as an app launcher too. Of course, the LG G5 ships with the latest iteration of Android, i.e. 6.0 Marshmallow. Talking about the basics, you won’t find anything surprising as such. The lock screen lets you access the voice command, phone app or the camera directly, while the notification drawer has the quick toggles on top, with notifications below. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } While we are on the fence about LG’s decision to not offer the app menu, there’s a workaround option by switching to EasyHome , although it results in bigger text. You can also install the LG Home & App drawer app from LG SmartWorld to get the usual interface. The SmartWorld app also lets you download themes and wallpapers for the handset. The UI also offers a dedicated homescreen towards the left, monikered as Smart Bulletin . It provides an at-a-glance view of your step count, calendar schedule, music playback controls, etc. The brand must be applauded for keeping the preinstalled apps to a minimum on the device. There’s Facebook , Evernote , and Instagram along with some useful titles from LG. Management acts as a one-stop app for options to enhance battery life, optimise the phone with Smart Doctor , and check the status of memory or RAM among other things. LG QuickRemote lets you control home appliances with the available IR blaster, whereas LG Health tracks your steps actively along with activities such as running or cycling. If you’ve purchased accessories for the G5, you can control them via the LG Friends Manager app. We also liked the option to re-install apps you’ve uninstalled, since the phone keeps them in memory for up to 24 hours. LG was the first brand to offer double-tap-to-unlock functionality, which has now become a must-have for most smartphones. But what’s interesting is that it has also managed to offer the double-tap-to-lock feature, which is really handy, since it’s not always ideal to reach for the power toggle at the rear of the G5. In the locked state, the phone also lets you make use of the volume keys. Pressing the volume up key twice opens the Capture+ app to quickly jot down notes, while you can access the camera app by double-pressing the volume down button. The UI also offers Smart settings , which lets you define the sound profile, and the state of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending where you are. Whenever you are at home for instance, you can set the sound profile to loud, connect to the Wi-Fi network automatically, etc. Similarly, whenever you plug in your earphones, the LG G5 can open an app chosen by you, instantly. While talking about the interface, we must highlight LG’s default keyboard app. More often than not, we always replace the Google keyboard app with SwiftKey irrespective of the phone we’re reviewing, but with the G5, we didn’t feel the need to do that since the available keyboard is really accurate and supports swipe-to-type as well. The keyboard also intelligently suggests emojis for the text you’ve typed. You can also tweak the layout of navigation buttons and choose between a white or black background. The fingerprint module on the LG G5 can store up to five fingerprints, and it’s quite fast, but not as quick as some other devices we’ve come across recently. Thanks to its 360-degree authentication, the scanner is accurate and you can unlock the phone by keeping your fingers on the button or by pressing it. You can also use the fingerprint-based security to lock content in the gallery and QuickMemo+ app. Overall, the LG UX has some nifty features but feels a little inconsistent, and reminds us of yesteryear’s TouchWiz UI from Samsung. Camera: widening your horizons
Primary camera : 16 MP Flash : Dual-color LED Flash Secondary camera : 8 MP
Without a doubt, Samsung smartphones reign when it comes to photography in the Android arena. However, one brand that manages to keep up with the Chaebol is its counterpart LG. The previous flagships from LG have impressed us, and the G5 takes it up a notch. What’s more interesting is that LG isn’t following the herd since most high-end offerings nowadays are reducing the megapixels in a bid to offer better image quality. Instead, the LG G5 offers not one, but two cameras at the back – one with 16-megapixels resolution with a wide aperture of f/1.8 and the secondary shooter rated at 8MP. But unlike many other implementations of dual sensors, the G5 gives you the ability to get the wide-angle view of 135 degrees with a single click. The phone also brings forth useful features such as laser autofocus, LED flash and optical image stabilisation. The camera interface on the LG G5 would please novices and shutterbugs alike. It’s filled to the brim with a wide range of options. Kept in the landscape orientation, you can switch between clicking photos or videos, preview images or return to the homescreen with options towards the right. The left side offers you the ability to access various modes, switch to the front camera, toggle flash or access settings. There are a number of modes available such as Multi-view , which make use of the all three camera sensors or Popout , which utilises the rear cameras to offer some cool effects. Of course, you get a Manual mode that lets you play with ISO, exposure levels, shutter speed and more to get the desired output, along with allowing saving images in the RAW format. The LG G5 impresses us with its camera quality across situations. Long shots have a good amount of detail along with accurate colour reproduction, and so do the close up images, which look even better with the depth-of-field effect. The HDR mode also does its job well and low-light shots aren’t as noisy. All this is expected from a top-end smartphone, and that’s why the wide-angle view sets it apart from the competition. You can instantly fit a larger scenery in the same frame, without affecting the quality. Although, if we were to nitpick, at full size, the wide-angle images show some signs of pixelation in comparison to pictures taken with the main snapper. We have already taken a comprehensive look at the camera performance of the LG G5 , but here are some samples for your viewing pleasure. The front 8-megapixel camera will be loved by selfie addicts. The images are sharp and vibrant as well. If you’re shooting in poor lighting, the screen flash feature comes handy. We also liked the fact that you can open the camera app by pressing the volume rocker twice, even when the LG G5 is locked. In terms of videos as well the LG G5 won’t disappoint you. It lets you capture videos in UHD resolution, along with slow-mo and timelapse videos. The slow-mo videos can be captured at 60 fps, which results in a smoother output. All in all, the LG G5 is among the best smartphone cameras available in the market and the dual cameras can also offer amazing results, when used wisely. However, it’s not able to match up to Samsung’s latest, the Galaxy S7 duo ( camera review ). Performance: zip, zap, zoom
CPU : Quad core, 2.1 GHz + Quad core, 1.5 GHz, Snapdragon 820 GPU : Adreno 530 RAM : 4 GB Memory : 32 GB + Up to 2 TB SIM Slots : Dual SIM , GSM
LG has always packed Qualcomm’s top-tier processor in its flagships so much so that the G Flex 2 ( first impressions ) was the first device to use the Snapdragon 810. However, due to the heating fiasco in SD810, the Korean giant had to use Snapdragon 808 in the G4 instead of the flagship 810 silicon from the chipmaker. But with the G5, the company has employed Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC, the Snapdragon 820. In fact, when it was unveiled at MWC in February, it was among the first few phones to come with this processor, which offers four custom-built Kryo cores based on 64-bit architecture. The processor offers two high-power cores tuned at 2.15GHz, while the low-power cores run at 1.6GHz. The CPU is accompanied by the Adreno 530 GPU for rendering graphics. The hardware makes sure that the LG G5 flies through anything thrown at it. There was nary an instance where we felt that it wasn’t able to handle heavy apps or games. We played Injustice: Gods Among us and Modern Combat 5: Blackout for hours, and it didn’t break into sweat even once. Multitasking on the LG G5 is buttery smooth as well, thanks to 4 gigs of RAM. Even with multiple apps opened, it usually hs around a gigabyte to spare. The Snapdragon 820 also manages heat dissipation efficiently, with the phone only getting warm at the upper portion of the rear. The good thing is that this happens only when you push the phone to its limits with heavy gaming or 4K video recording. The phone comes with 32GB of flash memory on board, out of which around 23.2GB is available to you. It should be sufficient for installing apps or storing your multimedia files, but if not, you can slide in a microSD card of up to 2TB to extend the storage. However, it’s worth noting that the LG G5 doesn’t support Marshmallow’s Adoptable Storage, which lets the OS treat the microSD card as internal storage. The LG G5 supports two SIM cards, with the secondary slot being of hybrid type. It has also got you covered when it comes to other connectivity options, with Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, IR blaster, and GPS on offer. With its high-def display, watching movies or playing games is a delightful affair on the G5. However, the speaker output isn’t that loud, and the fact that they are placed at the base results in an even poorer experience, since your hands are placed naturally on them, when the mobile is held in the horizontal position. Battery: good, but could be better
Capacity : 2800 mAH, Li-ion Talktime : Up to 19 Hours (2G) Standby Time : Up to 240 Hours (2G)
Time and again, we have stated that specs are just a number, and that notion is strengthened further with the battery life of the LG G5. On paper, the 2,800mAh capacity seems a tad low considering today’s standards and the 2k display it has to power up. However, in real life, the battery should get you through your entire working day. Even with the Wi-Fi hotspot or GPS turned on, and gaming for a considerable time, the phone had some juice left towards the evening. On an average, we got screen-on time between three and a half to four hours, which is decent for the battery capacity. The phone excelled in our battery loop test as well, since it was able to run an HD video on loop for roughly 13 hours and 30 minutes, with both the brightness and volume set at 50 percent and only cellular connectivity turned on. But sadly for the G5, the competition, including the S7 duo and HTC 10, offer much better battery life. On the plus side though, you have the option to swap out the battery. But be warned that sliding out the battery from the base requires a lot of effort and patience since more often than not, you fear that you might break it. You can also enable Battery Saver to extend the battery life. Although that doesn’t seem to do much apart from turning off the Always-on display. There’s Game optimizer mode too, which puts less strain on the battery while gaming. Since the LG G5 is equipped with the Snapdragon 820, it also features Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 technology. But it’s odd that the bundled adapter supports only the Quick Charge 2.0 standard. The handset also lacks wireless charging capability. Even then, charging is quite fast as the device can juice up from zero to 100 percent in approximately 90 minutes. Verdict In today’s market, you can get affordable flagships such as the recently-launched OnePlus 3 ( review | FAQs ) or LeEco Le Max 2 ( first impressions ) at almost half the price of the G5, which offer a beefy 6 gigs of RAM. However, the Korean titan has ensured that the hardware powering the show on the G5 is just one part of the story. LG’s latest flagship justifies its price tag by packing in interesting innovations – a semi-modular design, dual camera sensors along with catering to power users with features like removable battery, while keeping the sticker price of Rs 52,990, which is similar to other premium flagships. That said, it’s one thing to offer innovation, and another to make it work flawlessly – and that’s where the G5 starts faltering. It might be the first smartphone globally to feature a semi-modular design, but that’s not how modularity was supposed to be when it was teased a couple of years back. The idea of modularity – which Google’s Project Ara is also envisioning – is to be able to swap components from the device for new ones. For example, adding a better camera module in place of the default one. But that’s not possible with LG’s top-end offering. You can only extend its capabilities with the Cam Plus module or Hi-Fi Plus module, for turning the phone into a camera or an audio-centric device. Plus, there’s an additional cost involved, since you have to pay Rs 6,990 for the Cam Plus. LG is yet to reveal the pricing of the Hi-Fi Plus. There are some other accessories as well under LG’s Friends programme – the 360 CAM, 360 VR, and a Tone Platinum Bluetooth headset. However, they aren’t modular as such. The brand has promised to offer more modular devices with its Playground initiative, and in our opinion, that can certainly make the LG G5 more lucrative. It’s more prudent since Lenovo-owned Motorola recently took covers off its Moto Z flagships that also come with snap-on functionality dubbed Moto Mods . While one can argue that its implementation isn’t exactly modular, some of the accessories showcased by the company seem quite useful. Plus Lenovo has opened the platform for developers for launching compatible mods. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate LG for its efforts, but they aren’t very practical. And, if those are removed from the equation, then Samsung’s Galaxy S7 duo scores higher on almost all counts – beautiful design, slightly better display (thanks to the AMOLED panels), superior cameras (due to the dual-pixels technology) and better battery life, along with waterproof capabilities. You also get to choose between the Galaxy S7 ( review ), which is compact, or the Galaxy S7 edge ( review ), which is a phablet and ups the style quotient with its dual edges. Completing the holy trinity of Android flagships for 2016 is HTC 10 ( review ), which is a great smartphone as well, although we’d probably pick the G5 over it. In sum, the LG G5 is a special smartphone in the Android space, but it’s very difficult to recommend it over Samsung’s latest pair of flagships. But if you are among those who want to stand out from the crowd, then you can’t go wrong with it.
