Dont know how true but not liking the
1. small 5.3" display
2. The small 2800 mAh battery
3. Part about the "LG says the display’s backlight only illuminates one small part of the overall display, which translates into the always-on section draining only 0.8 percent of the phone’s battery every hour."
Over the course of one day of 10 hrs, the drain is 8% which is huge!

The LG G5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), a removable 2,800 mAh battery, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It has a 5.3-inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution (QHD) display at 554ppi.

LG G5 has two rear cameras: one standard 78-degree lens and another 135-degree wide angle lens (which LG proudly claims is “the widest available in any smartphone”). LG expects the wide angle lens to help capture landscape, tall buildings, and larger groups. The front camera is 8MP.

Other specifications include a USB Type-C 2.0 port that is USB 3.0 compatible, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, and Wi-Fi 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac. The phone weighs 159g and measures 149.4 mm in height, 73.9 mm in width, and ranges between 7.7 and 8.6 mm in depth. It will be available in four colors: Silver, Titan, Gold, and Pink.

LG today also unveiled “companion devices” for the G5 called LG Friends. The company today detailed six of these accessories, but like the modules, you can expect more in the pipeline:

360 CAM: Connects to the LG G5 for shooting 360-degree content. It features two 13MP wide angle cameras, built-in 1,200mAh battery, 4GB of internal memory, a manual mode, 2K video, and 5.1 surround channel recording via three microphones. Images taken with the 360 CAM can be uploaded to Google Maps Street View and YouTube.

360 VR: This virtual reality headset can be connected exclusively to the G5. The foldable goggles are meant for watching VR content on the go, and LG claims the accessory is “one-third as heavy as competing smartphone VR goggles.” Presumably Google Cardboard is excluded from this claim, though the 360 VR is compatible with Cardboard content and 360-degree images and videos captured with the LG 360 CAM.

Rolling Bot: This is a ball camera. It rolls around, capturing images and videos with its embedded 8MP camera connectable via Wi-Fi. LG claims the Rolling Bot isn’t “just a toy” and “can be used as a security system for the home, pet care companion as well as a remote controller for compatible home appliances.”

Tone Platinum: A Bluetooth headset with “superior” sound quality (Harman Kardon Platinum grade). LG has deemed it “the world’s first Bluetooth headset equipped with aptX HD codec,” which means lossless 24-bit audio.

Smart Controller: Control drones, watch a drone’s video stream through the LG G5 in real time, and generally move other smart devices that LG has yet to reveal.

H3 by B&O Play: High-end earphones that deliver 32-bit sound. Unlike the other accessories, this one is compatible with all LG smartphones.

If you have a category called “LG Friends” you need an app to manage them all, which LG naturally named Friends Manager. This app, which only works with the LG G5, automatically detects “nearby Friends” and connects to them in “three simple steps.”

The question is, how many would like to see natural
colours instead of unnatural vibrant colours that are
too saturated as in the Galaxy S5?

LCDs always-on information on the display with very
low power draw has the better advantage.

It's not really an advantage for AMOLED with its
saturated colours. So to conclude that it is better
than LCD is misleading.

"AMOLED makes images pop out" is not always the
consumers' preference for realistic natural colours.
Many consumers would agree that they prefer LCD
screens with its new IPS technology though.

One thing for sure is that there is no need to use
design app for power consumption.

Moreover every consumers' values are different in
areas of consistency, budget, realism and even things
like "lack of burn-in". :)=:p
Very seldom heard of people disliking Samsung's AMOLED display before. And in most reviews, no matter how good they said LG's LCD is, in the end most of the reviewers still say they prefers AMOLED.
