LG G5 is LG’s latest flagship smartphone.
Design and Display
Many people who were drawn in by the easy-to-handle LG Nexus 5 were not so impressed with the humongous size of the Motorola Nexus 6 released in 2014. Such people will surely be excited about the new LG Nexus 5X which is designed to fit perfectly well into the hand of virtually any mature person.
The phone has a plastic body with nice curves – not just a rectangular slab. It flaunts a chic svelte profile at only 7.9mm thick.
LG Nexus 5X sports a 5.2-inch IPS touch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels for highly enjoyable viewing experience. The screen features scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and smudge-resistant oleophobic coating.
Camera and Storage
The smartphone packs an impressive 12.3-megapixel main camera with massive 1.55-micron pixels, dual flash and super-fast laser autofocus. The shooter can be used to record stunning 4K videos.
There is also a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture for selfies and video calls. LG Nexus 5X comes with onboard storage of either 16 GB or 32 GB. Sadly, you will not be able to add more storage space with a memory card.
