Display
Kicking off with displays, although the smaller, 5.3-inch G5 keeps up with the 5.7-inch V10 in terms of resolution, similarly rocking a 2K-1440p definition (it even has a higher 554ppi pixel density, compared to the V10's 513), the V10 boasts a pretty strong trump card, in the form of a secondary 2.1-inch 160 x 1040 512ppi screen. This second screen technology lets you glance at the phone for notifications or access favorite apps while the main display is locked/dimmed -- a highly-swank facet, considering that the V10 was the only model with such a feature as of its 2015 Q4 release. That said, these two LG flagships, with their QHD Quantum IPS screens, both land a seat in our list of the best smartphones as of 2016, so it's not that big of a loss for the G5, despite a difference of roughly 0.5 inches in screen space.

Performance
Going inside the engine room, the V10 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core, dual-cluster (1.82GHz + 1.44GHz) processor, while the G5 rocks a newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core chip running at 2.1GHz. Now, before you go out and say that the G5 clearly wins this bout, with the higher maximum clock speed, consider that the V10's higher number of processing cores potentially translates to more-efficient multitasking for the larger model, especially since both devices boast monster (as of 2016 Q3) 4GB LPDDR3 RAMs. As for storage, the V10, with its larger screen, offers a comfortable 64GB eMMC internal memory, compared to the G5's 32GB-only built-in storage. Despite having half its cousin's on-board memory, however, the G5 will not likely be shaken by the difference, since it levels with the V10's whopping up-to-2TB microSD card support -- a premium-class perk that not many flagship contenders offer.

Battery Life
Next stop: batteries. When compared in terms of raw battery capacity, the V10 leads the way with its 3000mAh power cap, versus the G5's 2800mAh. But, as you may have guessed, there is a twist -- and a pretty big one at that. The G5 features an LG-proprietary modular battery tray, which means that you can slide its battery out by simply pressing on a button on one of its edges. This technology not only allows you to pop in a fresh battery on the fly, which, by the way, sounds a whole lot more convenient than waiting for the installed power pack to finish charging, it also makes a gigantic difference for G5's usability, in the form of modules. The proprietary connector mentioned above lets you plug in various modules, such as the LG Cam Plus manual camera controller (which by the way, extends its battery capacity to 4000mAh) or an external speaker, to the G5's main body. This also opens up the possibility of third-party sellers creating their own G5 modules, while LG gets to introduce future modules tailored to the G5 as well.
