The 5.3-inch QHD display (screen diagonal 13.46 cm) has a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels with a pixel density of around 554 ppi . The battery has a capacity of 2,800 mAh and can be replaced. The System-on-a-Chip is a Snapdragon 820 clocked at 2.1 GHz with four cores from Qualcomm , which is supported by 32 GB of flash memory and 4 GB of RAM . The memory can also be expanded by up to 2 TB with a microSDXC card.

The LG G5 also has an infrared sensor . The G5 is available in Germany in four colors: silver, titanium, gold, pink. When it was launched, LG used Android 6.0 as the operating system . In the meantime there was an update to 6.01. LG G5 is now distributing an upgrade to Android 7.0 in several countries, including Germany since November 24, 2016. The last officially released upgrade to Android 8.0 was released in November 2018.

Instead of the battery module, for example, a camera module or an audio module can be used, each combined with a battery, with which the corresponding features can be expanded and improved. The G5 not only offers "external" modularity, but is also very easy to repair inside. So are iFixit the G5 a rarely reached repair score of 8, the successor G6 achieved only a value of the sixth
