Have you considered buying used from a site like swappa.com?

Nah, when it comes to phones I don't want non manufacturer warrantied electronics.

Ultimately its up to what you value more.

I have no experience with either phone.

Just from looking at reviews the G5 wins with a better camera, more polished UI, and having a smaller but replaceable battery.

The Axon 7 wins with a slightly larger screen in damn near the same size phone, better audio quality, more internal storage, and a larger non-replaceable battery.

Technically the G5 will have a "sharper" picture since they are the same resolution and the G5 is smaller giving it more DPI, but good luck finding the difference between those screens and the same panel in 1080p on a 5.5" screen.

Personally I don't give a shit about "replaceable" batteries any more. Any battery is replaceable if you have the tools, balls, and internet.

I keep going back and forth between the two phones really. I think part of my problem is that I'm not sure if I completely trust the up and comer over the established LG.
