Review dari Youtuber JerryRigEverything
Seorang youtuber JerryRigEverything meragukan klaim LG bahwa LG G5 mempunyai metallic body. Dia menunjukan bahwa rasa dan berat device seperti mangandung plastic didalamnya yang katanya memiliki metal body. Lalu dia mangambil pisau dan mulai menggores casing belakang device.
Tidak mengherankan casing belakang LG G5 tampaknya memiliki lapisan plastik yang tebal. Setelah menggores dan mengeruk lapisan plastik lebih dalam Jerry baru menjumpai lapisan logam. Setelah semua, apakah itu dihitung sebagai logam/metallic seperti yang telah di klaim LG pada saat peluncurannya.
Dalam merespon pertanyaan dan keraguan LG telah mengeluarkan pernyataan yang ditujukan untuk itu.
�Contrary to erroneous reports online that the LG G5 body is composed of plastic, LG would like to state unequivocally that the uni-body casing of the G5 is composed of a special aluminum alloy, LM201 (Feb. 2016 patent pending). LM201 was developed by LG in partnership with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology for use in high-end sports cars, aircraft and consumer electronic pducts (sic) where durability, rigidity and lightness are required. As a die-cast metal, LM201 was determined to be most appropriate material to accommodate the curves of the G5. After the die-casting is complete, the insulating antenna slit is applied directly to the aluminum casing followed by a coating of primer which provides additional insulation and enhances the surface profile for the �microdizing� process, where pigment containing tiny metal particles is applied directly to the primer to provide a smooth and durable finish. While both anodized aluminum and microdized aluminum will scratch if enough pressure is applied, in the case of the G5 the gray primer beneath the pigment layer may be mistaken for plastic when the coloring is scratched off. We want to reassure our customers that the uni-body of the LG G5 is advanced aluminum alloy, not plastic.�
Untuk sekarang, LG klaim casing LG G5 -nya "unibody" bukan logam/metallic. "Unibody" adalah perpaduan alumunium dan plastik yang kita lihat setelah lapisan cat tergores.
