I had a G5 for years and it's a surprisingly good phone. Not only one of the last decently-specced phones with both a headphone jack and a removable battery, but the fact the battery is so easy to remove and can even be charged outside of the phone is outstanding. The screen is great for the time and had LG built upon it and created an ecosystem of multiple phones with interchangeable (and useful) modules, perhaps the gimmick might've worked. My only gripes would be the large resolution with such a small battery and the weird form factor of the phone itself, which made finding cases and other accessories for it a nightmare, especially after a few years. But I do miss smaller flagships with removable batteries.
i bought the LG G5 because it was the only seemingly reasonable smartphone that i kud find with a user-replaceable battery. a user-replaceable battery is my top priority in a smart phone. sadly the phone had so many bugs that i didn't buy multiple ones and when the screen failed from cracking when dropping, i'm just not interested in fixing it. too many software bugs. 😢 But i absolutely loved the removable battery. sadly i've had a few times that it just spontaneously turned off on me. i assume because the battery supply was disconnected unintentionally, but it didn't happen too much to be horrid. overall, i loved it with one dooming problem: software bugs. 😢
Yup and alot of politicians and fortune 500 execs used it until fairly recently since it was OP on security. I remember listening to old radio shows and people arguing how BlackBerry is a "man's" phone and iPhone is a "little girls" phone. Good times.
i do know that if you talk a lot in your job(I work at tech department on a callcenter) you are kind of forced to talk very calmy as it stresses your voice/throat less. So at the end of the day, your throat doesnt hurt. No point in shouting. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I can see the P18k being useful for people who go on arctic expeditions or something like that. It could’ve been sold very well if they made it for that purpose or something similar with other optimisations for that sort of thing but as a normal smartphone it’s only going to fail realistically.
Imagine adding backtracking satellite sos and a couple of things more….. then i can assure you it would’ve been a great deal but sadly they didn’t used their cards right
We have powerbanks, just buy as many of them as you want, I don't get the point of having a brick sized phone only for the purpose of battery. And for those people who want bigger battery. There is a niche category of rugged phone which are twice the width of normal phone.

No the battery gate thing didn't actually improve the battery in fact it harmed the battery. As instead of actually slowing down the system they just made the chips go ham on nothingness. Making their older phones much warmer much slower and their batteries both degraded faster and died faster. Apple is a smart enough company where this decision was most certainly to make people switch to newer phones.
Maybe because Blackberry as a company actually was successful before failing so miserably, whereas Amazon's fire phone was just failure, right from the get go.

had lg g5 as well after a few years of taking the batteries in and out constantly throughout every day to switch out, the bottom tabs wore out completely and made a hole in the battery had to buy new batteries which had the original satisfying strong click when i first got it i finally lost my lg g5 over a cpu overheat and broken screen (possibly the ribbon cable? theres no cracks or anything) while trying to render a video if i boot it up now, all youll see is rainbow static i can say for certain that my lg g5 was amazing and i absolutely loved it
@PROXY isnt that a faulty battery? try buying a new one if the red led goes off when plugged in, it means its fully discharged so first try leaving it to charge for an hour if you have an external charger, use that just to be sure its not the phone base/phone after that, check the voltage with the written value with a multimeter
Blackberry had the best security though on their phones which is why apparently government agencies used them. I think they still might. You can still use a blackberry, they just cut off tech support and patch and security updates, but they still work good. My friend's company phones were blackberries up until the pandemic started and they ended up upgrading and using encrypted communications through an app now.
I'm still shocked how quick you go into the content! I'm so used to auto-skipping the first 30 seconds of filler bullplop before people get to the point
Im. Dry surprised the Samsung note 7 wasnt on this list it certainly was the most expensive fail and was a global phenomenon. I proudly still own one of the very rare originals as 99.5% have been recovered . Less than. 100 are in the wild, mine only charges to 60% as this was Samsung first defensive move.
Biggest fails: - removing 3.5mm headphone kack - not including headphones - not including chargers - forcing wireless charging - punch hole camera's - oversized and underused screen size (notches and punchouts) - refusing to increase battery life by choosing too small battery capacities Basically every smart phone right now
hole punches arent fails, bc it sells well, i had an phone with humongous bezels, regret it, i think that holepunch is cool, bc even you can hide the corner holepunch by special wallpapers.
no headphones is not great I guess but it's no big deal because they sucked anyway I really like the immersion of notches and hole punches and I think they add character to the front of the phone no charger yea kinda sucks but not biggest fail wireless charging is cool and I use it a lot but it's not a replacement for wired yet with the headphone jack I didn't even realize my phone didn't have one until I checked
When a phone walks in with a ittty bitty waist with a round thing in yo face u get Sprung. You wanna pull out tough cause u notice that phone was *STUFFED* (sorry I couldn't resist😅)
I LOVED the G5. It felt so cool swapping batteries, like reloading your phone. But, in hindsight it was awful. I had to keep an extra battery with me and charging for my job because my phone would be dead by noon with light usage. Also I couldn't keep a case on it lol.
Same, absolutely loved the LG G5, quick swapping a battery always felt like doing a good tactical reload on a handgun. That part made up for the not so great battery life
I had one from 2016 till earlier this year (2022) when Sprint had to shut down their 4G networks . Never had a big issue with the batteries until I started listing to music throughout the day. I honestly enjoyed just how easy it was to fix on my own, no glue to worry about and parts where cheap. Hell eventually the board went out due to vape leakage and by then it was cheap enough to just buy another G5 and have a parts phone. Almost wish I could've gotten the modules but, I could never justify the price of 'em with how I actually used it
It didn't help that the battery life was bad and necessitated swapping batteries. It came in handy vs the battery being not changeable but a better battery was needed.
@@AnonymityAyeah, I was a heavy LG phone user as well before they went under. Had a G3, G4, G5 and then a LG Stylus as my last one. After that I switched to some older model Galaxies and LOVED the S8 Active, but they don't make active models anymore. Probably would still be using it if the sim card internal reader didn't stop working. Since 2020 I've been using Motorola phones and they're pretty decent now, midrange nothing fancy but they work. I really miss the 2012-2018 era of every new phone being leaps and bounds better. Now it's barely noticeable to me.
I have said million times and I say again: You are the best TH-camr that is out there. The amount of effort you take for your videos is so much and you deserve so much more. You are the true meaning of a TH-camr. Love ya 👍
The "best TH-camr that is out there" put Pixel 4 in the 2nd place of "fails." At the same time he has a separate review of Pixel 4, where he says: "I really liked the Pixel 4 phones," "it's a good phone," "I like a lot of things about it" and he says that he RECOMMENDS Pixel 4. How can he recommend a phone that he puts at the top of his list of fails later? I always liked Arun's videos in the past, but I'm a little confused now...
@@lopezlopez7132 because in context, Google should have done better. Pixel 4 failed in terms of Google capability to make the phone to be the best among the contenders. It doesn't mean the Pixel is bad in anyway. It just it is very underachieve. Not even 90Hz display, no expandable memory, camera, battery, etc. It is still good tho, but compare to others, it just not so good

No, apple's reasoning was "if we slow their devices down to a crawl they'll have to upgrade to a new device". The blatant *excuse* they gave was battery life longevity. This is much more in line with the type of thing apple would do.
In actuality, this is against Apple’s ideas only because they’re focusing a lot on subscriptions now. There’s always the risk a consumer will switch away from iPhone when they become dissatisfied with its performance, so Apple has actually made an effort to keep iPhones in the running as long as possible, because every iPhone is a portal to Apple Music, iCloud+, Apple TV and all the other subscriptions they’re hoping on being the future for them (phone sales across the board are slowly declining, this is their plan to respond). Still very scummy they never gave you the option to turn off throttling in the first place, but it at least makes some sense?
no the reasoning is preventing current exceeding what the battery can provide, which falls as the battery ages. would you rather have a phone that’s slower but the battery life is still decent and it works, or a phone that when you try to do too much, shuts down with no warning? i think most people would rather have the former, as undercurrent shutdowns would prevent heavy workloads more than it being slower
@@morgan0 , and you know this to be true, how or why? it seems that you assume too much. *shrug* I wud not prefer either one of your options. when people give a dichotomy of only two choices, it is almost always a false dichotomy. i'd prefer a third option: let me choose. duh. but Apple is so horrible in my opinion that i have never had one and i never want a company deciding for me what is best for me. i utterly disagree with their entire 'we know what's best for you' facade.

No the battery gate thing didn't actually improve the battery in fact it harmed the battery. As instead of actually slowing down the system they just made the chips go ham on nothingness. Making their older phones much warmer much slower and their batteries both degraded faster and died faster.
Apple is a smart enough company where this decision was most certainly to make people switch to newer phones.

try buying a new one

if you have an external charger, use that just to be sure its not the phone base/phone
after that, check the voltage with the written value with a multimeter
Blackberry had the best security though on their phones which is why apparently government agencies used them. I think they still might. You can still use a blackberry, they just cut off tech support and patch and security updates, but they still work good.

Here I am after Motorola Razors failure which resulted in Galaxy Z flip and other awesome foldable phones.
Biggest fails:
- removing 3.5mm headphone kack
- not including headphones
- not including chargers
- forcing wireless charging
- punch hole camera's
- oversized and underused screen size (notches and punchouts)
- refusing to increase battery life by choosing too small battery capacities
Basically every smart phone right now
Then don't buy one.
hole punches arent fails, bc it sells well, i had an phone with humongous bezels, regret it, i think that holepunch is cool, bc even you can hide the corner holepunch by special wallpapers.
couldn't disagree more really
@@DavidNikkiZane why?
no headphones is not great I guess but it's no big deal because they sucked anyway
I really like the immersion of notches and hole punches and I think they add character to the front of the phone
no charger yea kinda sucks but not biggest fail

Christopher Budden them other brothers can’t deny
When a phone walks in with a ittty bitty waist with a round thing in yo face u get Sprung. You wanna pull out tough cause u notice that phone was *STUFFED* (sorry I couldn't resist😅)
I LOVED the G5. It felt so cool swapping batteries, like reloading your phone. But, in hindsight it was awful. I had to keep an extra battery with me and charging for my job because my phone would be dead by noon with light usage. Also I couldn't keep a case on it lol.
Same, absolutely loved the LG G5, quick swapping a battery always felt like doing a good tactical reload on a handgun. That part made up for the not so great battery life
It also eventually would swell batteries as the capacitors rubbed from the play. I saw a few of these phones on displays with bubbled appearances.
I had one from 2016 till earlier this year (2022) when Sprint had to shut down their 4G networks . Never had a big issue with the batteries until I started listing to music throughout the day.
I honestly enjoyed just how easy it was to fix on my own, no glue to worry about and parts where cheap. Hell eventually the board went out due to vape leakage and by then it was cheap enough to just buy another G5 and have a parts phone. Almost wish I could've gotten the modules but, I could never justify the price of 'em with how I actually used it
It didn't help that the battery life was bad and necessitated swapping batteries. It came in handy vs the battery being not changeable but a better battery was needed.
@@AnonymityAyeah, I was a heavy LG phone user as well before they went under. Had a G3, G4, G5 and then a LG Stylus as my last one. After that I switched to some older model Galaxies and LOVED the S8 Active, but they don't make active models anymore. Probably would still be using it if the sim card internal reader didn't stop working. Since 2020 I've been using Motorola phones and they're pretty decent now, midrange nothing fancy but they work. I really miss the 2012-2018 era of every new phone being leaps and bounds better. Now it's barely noticeable to me.

I remember having a blackberry in high school. It was awesome at the time.
No, apple's reasoning was "if we slow their devices down to a crawl they'll have to upgrade to a new device". The blatant *excuse* they gave was battery life longevity. This is much more in line with the type of thing apple would do.
I feel like apple has to much money to care if you have a iPhone 6 instead of the 13
In actuality, this is against Apple’s ideas only because they’re focusing a lot on subscriptions now. There’s always the risk a consumer will switch away from iPhone when they become dissatisfied with its performance, so Apple has actually made an effort to keep iPhones in the running as long as possible, because every iPhone is a portal to Apple Music, iCloud+, Apple TV and all the other subscriptions they’re hoping on being the future for them (phone sales across the board are slowly declining, this is their plan to respond). Still very scummy they never gave you the option to turn off throttling in the first place, but it at least makes some sense?
Would apple want a reputation of devices crashing after about 6 years?
no the reasoning is preventing current exceeding what the battery can provide, which falls as the battery ages. would you rather have a phone that’s slower but the battery life is still decent and it works, or a phone that when you try to do too much, shuts down with no warning? i think most people would rather have the former, as undercurrent shutdowns would prevent heavy workloads more than it being slower
@@morgan0 , and you know this to be true, how or why? it seems that you assume too much. *shrug* I wud not prefer either one of your options. when people give a dichotomy of only two choices, it is almost always a false dichotomy. i'd prefer a third option: let me choose. duh. but Apple is so horrible in my opinion that i have never had one and i never want a company deciding for me what is best for me. i utterly disagree with their entire 'we know what's best for you' facade.
