LG G5 went on sale
just yesterday and it was inevitable for the flagship to pass through
various torture tests for the cameras. The G5 got scratched, burnt with a
lighter, and then bent for the public to enjoy.

As expected the LG G5 doesn't bend easily as it's actually a chunk of
metal, except for the whatever accessory is inserted within the Magic
Slot - this will surrender rather easy.
The scratch test revealed the LG G5 is actually covered by a thin
layer of plastic. This process of applying small color particles on
metal surface is called microdizing and allows for hiding the antenna
bands within the paint.
LG actually talked about this - the layer some consider as plastic
is actually a rather thick ply of paint, so we think LG hasn't lied
about the metal, nor has misled on the microdizing thing - the paint is
indeed hiding the antennas.
So, the LG G5 is not that prone to bending, though you can easily
bend the bottom because it's detachable. It does endure screen scratches
up to a certain point, but the rear is a lot easier to scratch because
it's actually paint.
The teardown video reveals the LG G5 is easy to open and repair and shows its true metal nature.
