LG India today has launched the flagship LG G5 smartphone. The phone boasts a modular design with the removable battery, which can be replaced by some modules to enhance the user experience and functionality of the device. The phone comes with a full metal unibody design. It was available for pre-order for over a week now but now, the device is available directly.
Apart from that is the LG Friends, a bunch of accessories that would be optional to purchase – LG 360 VR, LG 360 Cam, LG Rolling Bot, and the LG Cam Plus (which is one of the modular pieces that has a higher battery capacity and options to help with the camera experience, helping add the battery capacity by 1200 mAh more).
The LG G5 has a 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor powering it along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, which can be further expanded by using an external MicroSD card. It isn’t just the modules that are good about the device, but also the camera that seems a lot interesting – a dual camera setup on the back – 16MP + 8MP cameras with the secondary lens having a 135-degree wide angle view. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
LG also has a Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi audio module to enhance the audio experience. The phone comes with a 2800 mAh battery with the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology.
Running the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, the LG G5 has an Always On display that shows the time and date information with the notification count, and the area that lights up all the time takes out 0.8% of the battery per hour.
There is a fingerprint sensor on the back of the device and the phone has the USB Type-C port, with a hybrid Dual SIM slot, where the second slot can either have a Nano SIM or a MicroSD card. The LG G5 is available in Titan, Gold, and Silver options.
