Rumors are now saying a 5.6" screen. If it ships with 4gb of ram this might just turn my v10 into a hand-me-down.

I'm hoping most importantly that the G5 will have a removable battery. I'm also hoping for stronger battery life than the G3 has. With all RAM and a strong processor, it will be fast, but if it doesn't have a removable battery, I'll pass on the G5 and move from my G3 into an LG V10, and then wait to see if anyone will ever manufacture an android phone with a removable battery and a micro SD slot.

Man they did a lot with this phone but for me they focused on all the wrong things.

It's basically the same size as the g4 yet it has a smaller screen and battery. They threw an extra wide angle lens on the camera but the main 16mp shooter is (from everything I've read so far) the same camera that's on the g4 and v10.

Since I currently own a v10, I'm disappointed they didn't throw in 64gb of internal storage, and to get an audio dac that's comparable to the v10 you need to purchase a separate module, which I would never carry around with me separately.

I always said I wouldn't buy a phone without a removable battery but man the s7 edge is calling my name now!

I was honestly worried that them focusing on making it a metal body would kill the removable battery. But while I am happy with them saying it's removable, it doesn't look like the back itself comes off. Which puts a huge question mark on whether there is going to be a zerolemon battery for it?
