Last updated: Apr 17th, 2017.
The LG G5 was launched April 1st, 2016 by the South Korean manufacturer following a Mobile World Congress unveiling. This was some of LG’s biggest innovation yet with the introduction of dual rear cameras and an always-on display, and it represents one of the first times LG directly challenged Samsung to have the top smartphone on the market.
Other unique features of the LG G5 include its Magic Slot. The Magic Slot allows you to extend functionality of the device by popping the bottom off. You can add a camera grip with controls for manual capture, as well as a Hi-Fi audio module for improved audio capabilities. LG also announced cool new toys to go along with the LG G5 like VR goggles and a rolling robot.
