LG G5 review | TrustedReviews
Since Anders mentioned the LG G5 I've been taking a closer look at this phone which I hope to get a look at soon. I mention the phone here again as it has a Module system where extra modules to have the phone perform different fuctions can be attached, the DAC Module is a case in point. When the B DAC is attached the user gets an extra heapdhone socket and better audio quality for their music collection thanks to the DAC so this module alone would be a good reason for music lovers to look at the G5. A camera module also exists which I'm told - from other sources apart from this review - performs just as well as a good SLR. Would I buy one? Probably not though I'm still interested in going to have a look at a G5, the Samsung Galaxy S6 along with the Oppo DAC provide me with enough clout in the Android Mobile World for the moment. The review mentions the build quality of the LG G5 and I wasn't surprised to read the comments so that will be something I'll be interested to see for myself, the Galaxy S6 is of an excellent build and I doubt I'd settle for anything less now so thank Goodness the S6 has other competition from HTC etc. http://www.trustedreviews.com/lg-g5-review -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
Re: Lg g5
there’s certainly plenty out there in the world of Android phones and more than plenty of time to match. I’ve been looking ahh the price of one of the LG phones, the G5 is more expensive than I thought it would be though I didn’t see any variable internal memory sizes, I only saw a 32GB model though the place where I looked were selling the G5 like hot cakes. > On 9 May 2016, at 5:36 PM, Anders Holmberg <and...@pipkrokodil.se> wrote: > > Hi! > I’ve heard both good and bad from people using Lg phones. > But we’ll see. > Don’t think i will waist money on that. > There are other things i want as well but they are so steap in price that i > can not afford them. > /A >> On 06 May 2016, at 16:45, Dane Trethowan <grtd...@internode.on.net> wrote: >> >> If you manage to get one then let us know how you get on. >> >> >> I know a Mobile Engineer who works at one of our big phone company's in >> Australia, he tests mobile phones and wouldn't advise anyone to buy a LG >> device. >> >> >> I've seen a couple and to me they look very flimbsy compared to what's on >> offer from Samsung and Sony. >> >> >> I do know that LG take shortcuts in the manufacturing process wherever they >> can but then again there are a lot of manufacturers that probably do that. >> >> >> And - again a personal observation and this one is general - most of the >> people I've seen on lists with Android phones having problems seem to own a >> LG phone. >> >> >> LG have launched a phone in Australia which is capable of receiving DAB+ >> Digital Radio broadcasts but I'm wary of this unit given its price of $425 >> Asutralian dollars, just sounds far too cheap for anything too good. >> >> >> Actually getting the phone to receive DAB+ is probably easier than it looks, >> the phone already has a front end and antenna?

Re: Lg g5
Hi! I’ve heard both good and bad from people using Lg phones. But we’ll see. Don’t think i will waist money on that. There are other things i want as well but they are so steap in price that i can not afford them. /A > On 06 May 2016, at 16:45, Dane Trethowan <grtd...@internode.on.net> wrote: > > If you manage to get one then let us know how you get on. > > > I know a Mobile Engineer who works at one of our big phone company's in > Australia, he tests mobile phones and wouldn't advise anyone to buy a LG > device. > > > I've seen a couple and to me they look very flimbsy compared to what's on > offer from Samsung and Sony. > > > I do know that LG take shortcuts in the manufacturing process wherever they > can but then again there are a lot of manufacturers that probably do that. > > > And - again a personal observation and this one is general - most of the > people I've seen on lists with Android phones having problems seem to own a > LG phone. > > > LG have launched a phone in Australia which is capable of receiving DAB+ > Digital Radio broadcasts but I'm wary of this unit given its price of $425 > Asutralian dollars, just sounds far too cheap for anything too good. > > > Actually getting the phone to receive DAB+ is probably easier than it looks, > the phone already has a front end and antenna?

Re: Lg g5
Hi again! I'm on an Android list, someone has just bought themselves a LG G5 phone so you might like to join that list and see what comments he has to make about the phone if any at all.

Re: Lg g5
If you manage to get one then let us know how you get on. I know a Mobile Engineer who works at one of our big phone company's in Australia, he tests mobile phones and wouldn't advise anyone to buy a LG device. I've seen a couple and to me they look very flimbsy compared to what's on offer from Samsung and Sony. I do know that LG take shortcuts in the manufacturing process wherever they can but then again there are a lot of manufacturers that probably do that. And - again a personal observation and this one is general - most of the people I've seen on lists with Android phones having problems seem to own a LG phone. LG have launched a phone in Australia which is capable of receiving DAB+ Digital Radio broadcasts but I'm wary of this unit given its price of $425 Asutralian dollars, just sounds far too cheap for anything too good. Actually getting the phone to receive DAB+ is probably easier than it looks, the phone already has a front end and antenna? All that needs to be don is to modify the SDR unit to receive the appropriate frequency's, I'm assuming of course that all phones now days use SDR units - SDR being Software Defined Radio -. The other thing which occured to me when thinking about the new LG unit was that many - if not all - the DAB+ stations in Australia can be received over the Internet as is and in probably better quality most likely. Anyway it will be most interesting to see how LG go with this phone, about time we had a phone that offered DAB+ radio. On 6/05/2016 11:58 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi!
