First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone. I have not been able to post on the blog as much as I and you guys would have liked but I am here now. Not digging too deep into my reasons, here we go.
It has been a really interesting battle between LG and Samsung over the years about who reveals their flagship first and when, about whose flagship model beats whose, about how much the model sales and about how the two tech giants rank. While LG has always tried their level best to compete, Samsung just has been one step ahead always. So there'll be two articles. One will be about the LG G5 whose mask was taken off on 21 february and the second will be all about the sleek Samsung Galaxy S7 about whom I will talk in the next article.
So, let's kickstart this blogspot. To be fairly honest, I liked the design of the LG G5 far better than anything that has seen light lately. LG continues to innovate the world and the exciting new designs it keeps bringing. Breaking the design strategy of the previous G's, LG brings something new to the table here, a modular design. A phone that can be divided into two pieces, and that too, fairly easily. Good job LG!

Okay, most of you would not understand what do I mean by modular design. Fair enough. I, myself, was very confused on hearing about the breaking news as I was not lucky enough to witness and experience this peach of a thing created by LG in real. God, would I ever be that lucky. Anyway. Modules means to divide a thing, hardware or software into pieces. Different pieces. Just like that, LG divides the phone into pieces. Pieces which can be interchanged. The bottom of the phone, shown in the pictures can slide out of the phone and give access to the card slots and the battery. It is called the modular component.
It is quite exciting, as LG has introduced two add on accessories which can be installed with the modular component. These modular add ons/accesories are something LG are calling its 'friends'. First is the LG Cam Plus. It consists of a 1100 mAh of extra battery and gives hardware components to the camera, a hardware shutter key, a video button and a zooming option button. The second accessory is the Bang & Olufsen DAC for even better audio quality than the already available stereo speakers provide. While more add ons from other companies would follow.
The Camera:
"The dual selfie camera idea from the V10 has migrated to the G5 too, but as a main camera. One camera has 75° Field of View (FoV) and 16MP sensor, the second camera is much wider, 135° and 8MP sensor. Images from both cameras can be merged with various effects and a real-time preview." - Gsmarena.
Specifications:
Finally, here we go with the regular specifications which are deemed at regular because of all the hype created by the camera and the modular design.
- An always on 5.3 inch QHD LCD, which possesses a dedicated memory and a secondary power sipping chip so that the main processor and chip goes to sleep while the secondary chip remains always on.
- The chip eats only 0.8 percent of battery per hour.
- A snapdragon 820 chipset
- 4 GB RAM
- 32 GB on board storage + SD card slot

Hope you guys enjoyed the article. This is just like a geek's wet dream. This absolute beauty of a device made my LG makes me a proud fan. By far, the most exciting device I have wrote about. Thanks to Gsmarena for the news and the pictures.
Adios!
