The LG G5

biebiebie

Interesting comparison of the G4 vs G5.
I found it interesting (read disappointing) that LG have dropped multi screen on the G5 (something the S7 still boasts)

Apparently customisable themes for the G5, did the G4 have downloadable themes?

Used the themes change the colour of the status bar and dialler from the mint green?

You couldn't completely rule it out. They're using the Snapdragon 652 in the G5 model they'll sell in South America. Sony are pulling a similar stunt with the Xperia X, a 652 inside, €599 in Europe, and the X Performance with the 820 for Asia only.

The 652 is a massive leap forward from the last generation of 6XXs, but it's still a mid-range chip.

Have they confirmed the chip for Europe? I presume the highest spec would land here but I see that some markets are getting it with a Snapdragon 652 instead of the 820.

Clove UK have the following specs

RAM & Memory
Powering the LG G5 is a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Processor, matched up with 4GB of RAM.

And LG UK themselves say...
Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (Quad 2.1 GHz)

That's the thing holding me back. Plus I'd have to order from EU Global, so would warranty be covered in Europe as it would probably be imported from Asia.

That's why I just thinking I'd wait til Amazon UK might stock LG, April is so far away

What are the camera issues? Is it not the same sensor as the G4 (tbe non wide one)? That one is great.

I think that was in reference to the Huawei Ascend Mate 8 camera not the G5

Yep sorry, we were talking about the Mate 8, I'm reading many not happy with its camera module.

You guys are forgetting one thing (if you're with 3 and if not I have no idea)
If you're in a basement or a bad signal area and you lose internet it takes a Samsung between 2-5 mins to get a signal back, the LG G5 get's it back within a milisecond.

I have had this problem with SG 4 , 5 and 6.
That to me is a total deal breaker referring Samsung.
LG G4 is def the best flagship phone I've ever owned and I've had quite a few, LG G5 I'll hold off for now....bide my time.

Damn no silver, yet

Really wanted a black colour not gone on the Titan grey.

Maybe I'll go for the pink :pac:

DBrand should have skins out as soon as the phone is released. They normally have a good range of dark ones, I've two for my G4 and they hold up well.

Cool. I was looking at my beloved Supcase who have the Unicorn beetle on pre order but looking at the grey strip on front would annoy me. Silver I could get used to, hopefully!

Yep they're offering the 2 least appetising colours IMHO... why no silver or gold?

Amazon page now says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

So does that mean that preorders are sold out?

Shouldn't be much of a problem with Android N though? Let's you multi-screen using stock Android afaik.
