LG G5 Review
Smartphone development has reached a point where you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy a capable device. When you can get a smartphone that does practically everything you need and want for less than Rs. 15,000, what advantages do the premium flagships have to offer that could justify their prices?
Overall quality and finesse are hard to quantify, but more often than not, you'll get much more from a top-end smartphone. The only way you'll get a good combination of power, camera quality, looks and innovative features is if you raise your budget and get into the big leagues.
Look and feel
The LG G5 has a metal body, with a separate frame and rear shell. However, we were unimpressed with the way the phone felt at first, giving us the impression that we were holding a mid-range plastic phone rather than a flagship metal device. Although we eventually warmed up a bit to the way the G5 felt, it still doesn't have quite the same level of quality as many other similarly priced devices we've reviewed recently.

Although we eventually warmed up a bit to the way the G5 felt, it still doesn't have quite the same level of quality as many other similarly priced devices we've reviewed recently.
The metal shell of the phone is ever so slightly curved at the edges, but because of the separate frame, the phone doesn't always feel so good to hold. Additionally, although the G5 has a 5.3-inch screen, the phone's size gives the impression of more bulk than there really is. There's also the problem of the removable modular base, which simply will not sit perfectly flush with the rest of the rear and looks a bit odd as a result.
Camera
The LG G5 has a unique dual-camera setup at the rear, with a 16-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel support sensor. There's also an 8-megapixel front camera. The rear cameras can shoot up to 2160p 30fps video, while the front one can shoot video at up to 1080p at 30fps. There's also a slow motion mode for the rear camera, which bumps up the frame rate to 60fps at full-HD resolution. Other features include optical image stabilisation, laser autofocus, and a colour spectrum sensor.

Other features include optical image stabilisation, laser autofocus, and a colour spectrum sensor.
The camera software is well designed, and maintains a comfortable layout that includes all the important buttons that you'd ordinarily need. Recording video is a one-step procedure thanks to separate buttons on the camera's viewfinder screen for this, and there's also a key to quickly exit the app, since the on-screen Android keys disappear in full-screen apps. There are also standard toggles for the flash, camera switching and shooting mode, and a detailed settings menu which lets you control resolution, HDR settings, the self-timer and more. Interestingly, there's a toggle that lets you switch quickly between normal and wide-angle modes.
Performance
The LG G5 runs on the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, with two cores clocked at 2.15GHz and the other two clocked at 1.6GHz. It's one of the most powerful smartphone SoCs around right now, and along with a generous 4GB of RAM, makes the LG G5 one of the most capable performers available. Everything from booting to opening apps and games is snappy and immediate, and this shows particularly when using resource-heavy apps such as the Web browser with many tabs open, or with graphically intensive games. Multitasking is great too, and you can keep several apps running at the same time without the user experience being affected.

The stellar performance shows even in benchmark tests, with the phone producing incredibly high scores in our suite of tests. AnTuTu returned a score of 140,429, while Quadrant came back with 41,647. GFXBench scored 54fps, while 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited returned 27,033 points. Performance in Geekbench is fantastic as well, with a single-core score of 2306, and 5511 for multi-core. This is one of the most powerful Android smartphones you can buy today.
