Hey guys. I'm currently using an LG G4. I want to upgrade my phone. Which one should I get? I'm currently setting my eyes on the LG G5 for $280 and Note 5 for $30 more. Which one should I get? Need honest answers. I'll be using the phone normally like an everyday user, I don't do much smartphone gaming.

Thanks.

The LG G5 will probably have good software updates. My LG G3 was upgraded a while back to Android 6.0 which is pretty good considering the age. It has more up to date hardware Snapdragon 820. And a removable battery. Although as far as build quality goes the Note 5 is a really nice looking/feeling phone. And the G5 is notably plasticy feeling because they coated the metal case in something that makes it not feel as premium.  The camera is probably also better on the note, and the S Pen is cool if that's your kinda thing. The G5 uses USB C and the Note 5 uses Micro USB, worth taking into consideration as well.
