G5, A modular phone with its Friends – The most innovative from the company 

LG has introduced its latest flagship Android smartphone – the LG G5. The company launched this new smartphone alongside a range of plugable accessories and modules. It’s really going to be one of the most ideal device introduced during this year’s Mobile World Congress.With first impressions, some may notice that the LG G5 has some rear design elements similar to the ones found in Huawei’s Nexus 6P but little bit smaller. The camera module is extruded in wier but occupies less space. The fingerprint scanner is also positioned similar to the Nexus 6P’s one.

Although G5 has integrated antenna into its body but they are not visible, unlike others showing stripes through the body. Consumers will have access to LG Friends, a collection of companion devices, with which the G5 can be transformed into a dedicated camera if a camera grip is attached, or a Hi-Fi player and more.First thing of all, LG G5 is a whole new design with innovation and has nothing from its predecessor G4. It’s is encased in a metal aluminum body with a slide-out battery. This thing is one of the most prominent features which would be easily adopted by consumers having ability to easily swap out a drained battery with a fully charged one within seconds.LG G5 offers QHD IPS Quantum Display with resolution of 2560 x 1440. It’s a 5.3 inch screen that serves at the pixel density of 554 PPI. The display offers the Always-on feature which shows the time and date continuously on the screen even when the phone is in sleep mode. It’s like what Galaxy S7 recently showed off and like we have seen by Nokia/Microsoft as a Glance Screen.

For power consideration, LG has made it for the Always-on display to require only 0.8% of the battery’s full capacity per hour.

To minimize power consumption, LG redesigned the display driver IC memory and power management function so that the display’s backlight only illuminates one small part of the overall display. Thanks to this technology, the Always-on Display requires only 0.8 percent of the battery’s full capacity per hour to operate. With consumers turning on their smartphones up to 150 times a day mostly to just check the time, the G5’s Always-on Display will make a notable difference in the life of the battery over the course of the day.

LG G5 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset with a Quad-core processor along side 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The smartphone equips with the Dual Camera configuration with a 16 megapixel with standard lens and another 8 megapixel camera with 135-degree wide lens. The phone is backed up by a 2800mAh and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Along side the LG G5,  LG has introduced a wide range of companion devices, aptly called LG Friends, to deliver fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries. Friends Manager is the hub application that allows the G5 to connect with LG Friends quite easily. LG Friends Manager automatically detects nearby LG Friends and connects quickly and easily in three simple steps, eliminating much of the hassle of pairing devices.
