LG G5 launch: Special design and excellent hardware

LG G5 launch occurred at MWC 2016 not long ago and impressed people a lot. As we know, LG G5 is the flagship successor to LG G4, but it comes with many differences, especially in the design. G5 is considered as a great first mainstream modular handset built with a “fluid metal” body and “beveled glass” on the front surface. Moreover, perhaps LG really wants to make their product stand out when equipping it with a modular component at the bottom which you can remove to access LG G5 battery and card slots.

Spec-wise, it is very clear now that G5 sports a 5.3-inch 2K display (smaller than the LG G4’s 5.5-inch 2K screen) with a special always-on mode, a strong Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory (expandable up to 200GB). In addition, the whole machine is run by a decent 2,800mAh cell supporting Quick Charge 3.0 tech (up to 83% in just 30 minutes), and LG Optimus UX 5.0 UI based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. Wow, those are such top specs at the moment.

Nonetheless, LG G5 specs do not stop at that. The phone packs one 8MP selfie snapper and two cameras on the rear: the main has 75° Field of View (FoV) and 16MP sensor while the other’s got 135° FoV and 8MP sensor. According to the firm, images taken by both cams can be merged with effects and a real-time preview. Well, it seems we will have much awesome experience once using this device.

LG G5 price and availability

Last but not least, you may wonder when LG G5 will go on sale and how much it will cost. Accordingly, early April 2016 is expected to see G5 released in some countries with an LG G5 price of $699. Though, the company still has not confirmed that yet, so we’d better wait a bit more. Now, it’s your turn to tell us what you think and feel about this beast!
