The appealing thing about the G5's removable battery was that you could order your spare with an LG dock that would charge it outside the phone and also act as a power block for additional charge.

My wife has a G5 - hasn't had any issues with it. I have a G4, and it had a boot loader defect which bricked the phone - but LG repaired it. The G5 is definitely a nice phone.
I hate Samsung products, personally - every Samsung product I have ever owned has been the most horribly made cheap peice of shit. Plus I hate how they muck with the UI and add tons of bloatware. The Pixel sounds cool but it wasn't out at the time I got a phone (obviously).
Personally, I would hold out for the better phone. You're going to have it for a couple years, why settle for something that's already out of date? I limped along with my old LG OptimusG (like 5 generations older than my G4!) while my phone was being repaired - it sucked, but I survived.

I'm leaning pretty hard towards the Pixel right now. I does lack some basic things like waterproofing, removable batteries, and SD cards, but I keep seeing things like "Its the best android phone ever" and thats hard to ignore. I did get a date on when my Pixel ships and its a week after the Galaxy S8 gets reviled so I can always cancel my order if the S8 revolutionizes the phone industry.My Garage

Wait, it doesn't have SD functionality either? Mmph...strike two.

I've got a 128GB Pixel XL and really like it. The pictures it takes are amazing for a phone.

I actually loved my S5, I think its my favorite phone to date. However it did have a massive flaw, that stupid charger cover. I mean it was more or less my fault since I'm the type who needs to fidget with stuff, but I think I went through like 5 of those covers over 2 years of ownership.
I'm really starting to like the Pixel more and more and I'm happy I went with the 128gb XL. It was a tough choice at the time but I think its actually worth the extra money.My Garage
