LG G5 SE Cases - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently bought a LG G5 SE and I would like to ask you owners about cases.
I found some nice cases at Amazon UK but they don't mention that it would fit the SE version.
Do you guys know if a G5 case would fit a G5 SE?
Asking this because according to the phones specs, the SE is slightly thinner then the normal G5 (0.5mm).
Anyway, anybody here with a G5 SE using a G5 case?
Thanks!

LG5 and LG5 SE are completely equal in size and case.... So yeah. Just go for them.

Almost.
G5: 149.40 x 73.90 x 7.70 mm
G5 SE: 149.40 x 73.90 x 7.30 mm
I wonder if this 0.5 mm makes a difference when using the case.

I believe that this is a mistake on gsmarena.com site - G5 & G5 SE have equal size - and it's 7.7mm(as mention on lg.com web-site)

That is true, indeed. I should have checked their official website instead of relying on gsmarena.
Thanks!

DayDream ready ?

Qualcomm confirmed that only SD821 will be compatible with Daydream view, but recently the Moto z(which has SD820) got upgraded to 7.0 nougat, and alongside that update, it's now compatible with the Daydream view VR, so.... Is there a chance the G5 will be compatible with Daydream anytime soon ?

I guess very likely via inofficial ways i.e. xda but officially questionable. The moto z is still not officially regarded as compatible afaik.

"Another Redditor who received the update confirms that it enables Daydream support, which would make the Moto Z and Z Force the first devices outside of Google's own Pixels to support the company's new VR platform"
Yeah I've seen that. Not sure whether this is intended as this info is not from an official source like moto themselves but lets hope for the best
So i've installed the 7.0 KDZ and the Daydream app+VR framework from google. I can open the app and browse stuff, but as soon as i want to go into VR mode it crashes.
Is LG G5 compatible with Daydream View on Nougat (7.0). I wouldn't thought so since LG is selling their VR headset,
According to an article about the T-Mobile G5 update, the screen needs to be AMOLED.

Source? Never heard of this...

It is also mentioned in the TMobile G5 forum too.

Here they say:
"Google doesn’t specifically demand an OLED display in the CDD, but the need for low latency and persistency probably means that only phones with OLED panels will make the cut. That could increase even further the demand for AMOLED displays, which is already on the rise and expected to boom in 2017."
Which is much more precise, and there are the full requirements, this confirms that if the G5's IPS display doesn't respect those specification it will never support daydream.
But it also says that the only soc supported is Snapdragon 821, beside that the Moto z supports daydream, at this point who knows xD

LG G5 se

Is there a section for this phone on XDA...
I know its very similar to the G5 but a slightly lower spec.

It's just what he dreamed last night. Lenovo is not to be trusted with any updates, make no mistake, it's no Motorola.

Font by AMP: Motorola Is Confirm.
The Moto G3 did not update to nougat because at that time there were problems with Lenovo, but Motorola has already confirmed the Update to Android O, only remains to see if it is true and wait
As Moto X Play is getting 7.1.1 (Comes with 5.1), we can hope for 8.0. It is very probable!!

Every decent smartphone manufactured after 2014 would undoubtedly be capable, it's just that matter of what manufacturers think they should do, I don't think android o will be pushed to Moto g4 plus if Google will complete it and release after this September

No, it cannot. Check the second post of the thread and you'll know why.

iPhone 6S, Galaxy S7, LG G5 or Moto Z

So stupid me decided that he wants to try an iPhone, and I bought 6S(coming from OnePlus Two). I used it for 4 days and I decided that I'm not happy with the screen size, the storage and the limited functions. So I have the opportunity to return it and get Galaxy S7 or LG G5. The problem with the S7 is the Micro USB mainly, the LG G5 fits my suits the best and I like it, but everyone is hating on the LG G5 and the Moto Z doesnt have 3.5MM. So any thoughts on my dilemma ? Thanks ^^
i like g5 on eBay or Amazon $110 gets you one and nimax Rom runs great on 830t moto z force 2 is sweet $159 down at tmobile get free projector from moto but can't hear g5 swap batteries and great cam hope that's any help
Its a decent phablet with great cameras and swappable battery which get charged in 40-50min. If you size of it not an issue for you you can get it cheaply.
S7 or Moto Z

I'm back. ???. I ended up getting a h830 today. Mint condition. Works good. Needs a new battery. Already unlocked the bootloader. Will be flashing to try. I run fulmics on my g3 and maybe even in My g2. Been a while. Gonna downgrade I guess to get twrp and root. I had a sprint and Verizon g5 back when no root was available. Don't know if it is yet depending on how well the battery holds up on downgrade. I may flash this very soon just for trial
Been stuck on Samsung for the most part. Getting annoyed with my s8. I got like 10 phones laying around and my s8 can be rooted. But my mate se is the only one bootloader unlockable

LG g5 h830 is a awesome smartphone.. the screen with correct KCAL settings via kernel ADIUTOR, is great.. 550ppi is a very awesome screen and very comfortable. snapdragon 820 is old, but still a incredible Qualcomm SoC

Kcal is working perfect for me I got a lucky g5 my GPS works. My last 2 g5s neither GPS worked. The new battery getting me about 5 hours sot. But kcal makes or breaks mine has a horrible ghosting problem. But auditer and kcal 100 fix this. I bought a oppo clone Helio p80 supposedly off wish. But if it's a decent clone. I'm ditching my s8s and running the g5 and knock off as dailyz. I got a v40 unlocked bootloader but it needs a screen so I'm gonna wait for the v60 so the frame and lcd come down a bit on price

That's cool. I do most of my gaming on my PS4 or psvr. A bit of remote play on my 10 inch Sammy tablet. As long as I'm near the house I even got ds4 support
