A number of additional companion devices have also been announced, although these have been created by a number of LG’s partners.

The CAM Plus is a camera module that gives you a camera grip with physical buttons for power, shutter, record, and zoom. I was a huge fan of the Hi-Fi digital to analog converter in the LG V10 so I’m super stoked about this attachment.

LG latest smartphone under its flagship, it sports a 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum display with 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution and density of 554ppi. According to LG, the feature only requires 0.8 percent of the phone’s battery power per hour, making it extremely efficient.

The rear-facing camera promises to be brilliant, with a 16mp main camera, including an 8mp sensor, which helps to provide 135° viewing angle for gorgeous panoramic photos. Despite being “always on”, LG said the battery drain is minimal as only 0.8 percent of the hourly battery usage comes from this feature.

Aside from attachable modules, the company has also released a slew of companion devices, dubbed LG Friends. The phone has often been speculated and has been around for a really long while.

LG has struck the first blow in the MWC 2016 smartphone battle with the unveiling of its new flagship smartphone, the LG G5. The smartphone is powered up with 2,800mAh slide out the battery. Such an approach usually means no removable battery, but the LG G5’s new “Modular Type” design enables you to slide out the battery like an oversized SIM card tray. Only available in the LG G5, Friends Manager, the hub application that allows the G5 to connect with these attachments, automatically detects nearby such devices and connects quickly and easily in three simple steps. Here are retail details for the new LG G5, including the LG G5 release date, price, and deals. G5’s other features include 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

LG G5 ditches its predecessor’s plastic body in favour of a svelte all-metal unibody design, which ships in a range of colours, including Silver, Titan, Gold and Pink.

The CAM Plus can be attached via the battery slot and it will offer the grip and positive ergonomics usually offered by the DSLR cameras. The wide-angle lens can be used to capture more landscape, taller buildings, or larger groups without having its owner having to reposition themselves. The design had floated around the internet for months, but the LG G5 is still something to behold. It packs a 2,800 mAh battery which comes with Quick Charge 2.0.

Last but not least, the H3 by B&O Play high-end earphones announced by LG today are supposed to deliver the 32-bit sound of the LG Hi-Fi Plus with B7O Play.
