The G5 doesn't just have USB Type C, it has USB 3.0 - one of the first
smartphones to combine the two.
Dual rear cameras, one with an ultra wide angle lens, give you more photography flexibility without the stereoscopic 3D gimmickry.
The G5's modular "chin" allows the user to swap the battery, but also pop in
LG's camera/extended battery and DAC/amplifier modules. This is definitely unique in the current smartphone market.
Through a special metal treatment process, LG obviated the need for plastic antenna bands on the body of the G5.
The always-on ticker display consumes "between 0.3 and 0.8% battery per hour" according to LG.
LG claims the G5's screen is up to twice as bright as the G4's in sunlight conditions, with a maximum output of 900 nits.
