Friends+Design
- Very good build and handling
- Unique modular design, with a "magic slot" which lets you plug a handful of external add-ons: such as a semi-pro camera grip with shutter buttons and a bigger battery, or an external sound amplifier by B&O (there will be more 3rd party add-ons available in future)
- Fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate
- The design lacks originality or character, which is a bit of a downer, given that this is a flagship phone
Display
- Excellent display with excellent contrast and sunlight legibility
Software
- Android UI with Optimus UX is a powerful combo, and LG has done well to keep the bloatware in check, but left enough in terms of customization options and proprietary services to enhance your Android experience
Performance
- The Snapdragon 820 chipset offers stellar, top-of-the-line performance, and runs cool
Camera
- Fantastic set of rear and front cameras
- The photos from the rear (primary) camera have plenty of resolved detail, high dynamic range, excellent colors and contrast
- The wide-angle camera allows instant panoramic shots and opens up the door for some nice creative usage
- The 4K videos are great with plenty of detail
- The OIS, and the digital stabilization, are good too
Audio
- Good audio quality
- Excellent call quality via earpiece and speaker
Battery
- Battery life is decent (lasts a day) and the option to always have a spare ready to take over, from the magic slot, is most welcome
- Fast charging support via USB-C
- No wireless charging support
More
- No water proofing
