Snapdragon 820 sits at the core of this one, paired with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage that stretches further with a microSD card up to 200GB. That's still a capable combo for everyday use, and the 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS display at 554 ppi holds up well for a phone from this era, sharp enough for text and video alike.

The dual rear camera pairs a 16MP f/1.8 main lens with an 8MP wide-angle, backed by laser autofocus and 3-axis OIS for steadier shots. LG G5 price in Malaysia starts from RM860. Battery capacity sits at 2800mAh, and since it's removable, swapping a spare is an option most current phones don't offer anymore.

Rounding things out, you get USB Type-C, NFC, a fingerprint sensor and even an IR blaster, features that were ahead of their time when this launched in 2016 and still get the job done today.
