Whenever it arrives, the LG G5 will be a handset to contend with as the company has gained plenty of fans over the past few years. That’s a slight bump up from the LG G4 and LG G3, both of which had 5.5-inch screens.
Around back will be a 21-megapixel camera, which would pack in significantly more pixels than the LG G4’s 16-megapixel unit. The new model will focus on further improving the camera and on one thing the G4 missed out on biometric security. As for the front, it’ll have an 8-megapixel sensor that supports 1080p videos.
