LG refutes claims that the G5 is plastic

LG has come out and said that the G5 does not have a plastic body as a recent YouTube video may have indicated.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything recently released a video in which he took a razor blade to the back of the G5. He scraped off what seemed to be a thick layer of plastic, which led some to believe that the G5 isn’t an “all metal” handset as previously thought.

LG's Senior Director for Global Communications, Ken Hong, took to the YouTube comments to clarify the G5’s build. "What you're seeing there is primer, not a plastic cover,” he revealed.
