In theory, LPLE should be up to 40% more power efficient than its preceding location-based tech. It also comes with a new Low Power Location Estimation (LPLE) Technology, which helps for very low power consumption for location-based services. LG G5 supports GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, and BDS. The fastest mobile data option is 450Mbps LTE Cat.9 and you get 42Mbps on 3G. There is a dual-SIM version on sale, too. It comes in GSM and CDMA flavors (the latter will happily work on GSM networks if the bands match up). The LG G5 has all the connectivity goodies. In our outdoor visibility tests, the LG G5 screen offers well above average legibility at max brightness. LG hasn't provided any ways for you to adjust the screen color temperature. Regarding color accuracy, the screen is similar to the V10's - it has an average deltaE of 5.4, which isn't perfect but is above average regarding accuracy. On the other end of the spectrum, the LG G5 screen offers a rather low minimum brightness level of only 3.6nits (just like LG G4 and V10), which means it will go quite easy on the eyes when you use the phone in pitch dark settings. The technology helps sunlight legibility not by making the screen brighter, but by processing darker parts of the images on screen to make them easier to read by brightening them up selectively. To help things even further, LG G5 comes with something called Assertive Display algorithm for adjusting pixel color values in real time on GPU level in bright sunlight. It's a good thing that at least in auto brightness mode, the phone is able to push it up to 378nits in response to bright ambient light. However, the maximum brightness is surprisingly low at 306nits. The screen of the LG G5 has an impressively high contrast ratio (1885:1) due to its especially deep blacks (deep for an LCD anyway). It's a 5.3" Quantum IPS LCD unit of Quad HD resolution, which sums up in 554ppi screen density. The LG G5 has screen similar to the one used on the V10, but smaller. The bad news is the battery life is still as unimpressive as before. The good news is that there were almost no differences compared to our pre-production unit so all initial review conclusions are still valid. Update, Apr 04: We recently received a retail G5 review unit and we've updated all tests on this page accordingly.
