There are only a few high-end phones left to hit the market in this cycle. Except for a few like the Nexus, the Xiaomi Mi 5 and some more, we'll have to wait for the next wave of high-end mobile phones. One of them will be the LG G5, which we now know will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and with an outstanding camera.
Best camera
Many users have claimed that the LG G4 It has a high-quality camera. Despite this, the well-known DxOMark has not considered this phone to be among those with the best camera. Whether it really has one of the best cameras or not is something we really don't know, because I haven't been able to test it, but the truth is that it's very likely that LG wants to make sure its phone is considered among the best. Perhaps that's why the LG G5 will have a higher-level camera. We don't know many specific details about the camera, except that the sensor will have a size of 1 / 2 inches, thus improving the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and iPhone 6s Plus, whose sensor is 1/3 inch in size. However, something very relevant would also be the fact that it will be Sony the manufacturer of this new sensor, and that it will be a sensor that only LG will have, a specific sensor for its mobile phones.
Beyond the forecasts, the commercial photography setup of the G5 incorporated a dual rear camera: a main sensor of 16 MP (f/1.8, OIS) with laser focus and a secondary of 8 MP ultra wide angle with a field of view of 135°. You can record in 4K, offers controls manuals complete and capture in RAW (DNG)The front is made of 8 SM and includes a handy on-screen “virtual flash” for selfies.
Modular design and LG Friends modules
The most striking thing about the G5 is its modular design with a metal body. Using a tab at the base, the so-called Magic Slot, which allows you to change the lower piece and, in the process, have 2.800 mAh removable battery on a unibody chassis. The anchorage is strong and safe, although it requires pressure to fit well and, when changing modules, the system is restart. It's not waterproof, but it gains versatility.
Amongst the official modules include: LG CamPlus (grip with physical buttons, zoom wheel and +1.200 mAh extra) and LG Hi-Fi Plus (DAC/AMP of 32 bits developed with B&O for high fidelity audio). These are joined by LG Friends as VR glasses and the 360° camera, expanding the ecosystem. It's a gamble daring which allows for the improvement of specific uses without affecting daily operations.
Display, performance and connectivity
The screen is 5,3-inch Quantum IPS with resolution QHD (554 ppi). Maintains good cinereous vultures to be IPS, it enhances the contrast and, with a boost mode, it looks very good outdoors. Integrates the function Always On to check time and notifications without turning on the panel.
With the Snapdragon 820 y 4GB DDR4 RAM, the G5 delivers top-notch performance without any noticeable overheating. It features 32GB UFS expandable via microSD up to 2 TB, USB‑C 3.1, Quick Charge 3.0, LTE Cat 9, WiFi ac dual band, Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD, NFC, infrared y fingerprint reader rear. The speaker audio is powerful, with some distortion at maximum volume; with headphones, the stand 24 bits via BT shines.
A great mobile of its generation
In addition to this, it is also stated that the LG G5 will feature a new generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and Kryo 2+2 coresThis means the smartphone won't feature the supposed new processor LG was working on.
Although it is not known exactly when the smartphone will be launched, it has been stated that will not arrive immediately, so its launch would be part of the next wave. This is striking considering other rivals tend to get ahead of the curve. In any case, the generation of large phones from one cycle begins to lose relevance when the next one is already making headlines.
With this set —versatile dual chamber, modular design with removable battery, QHD display visible outdoors and hardware solvent— the G5 is positioned as a distinct proposition within the high-end range, ideal for those who value experimenting with modules and making the most of mobile photography with manual and RAW options.
