If you are looking for a flagship phone – consider the LG G5. The specs on this phone are very comparable to other flagships, especially with its dual cameras. Plus – it is now available in Malaysia for only RM 2699.

The LG G5 SE was recently spotted on the official in LG Russia website. Compared to the LG G5, this new LG G5 SE seems to have three things changed under its hood. This includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 instead of the 820, 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, and no 4G LTE support but rather just 3G (even though the Snapdragon 652 SoC supposedly comes with an integrated LTE X8 modem).

There's word that LG trademarked "LG G5 SE" last week, whatever that means, it actually seem like a move to follow Apple's iPhone SE strategy and making the smartphone smaller. Well, it turns out to be quite true as a packaging of L5 quick cover case for the LG G5 and G5 SE is real.

LG G5 is indeed one of the most innovative and escentric smartphone designs we've seen so far from CES 2016, allowing the user to take out the battery easily from the bottom and switching "gears" for different purpose such as taking a picture. If that's not good enough for you, iFixit has reported the G5 is repairable with a rating of 8/10.

Look no further if you want to watch a standard LG G5 torture test. This video will go through a bend test, scratch test and burn test where JerryRigEverything tests it out himself.

Do you still remember the LG G5 that was announced way back in February? Although it's been quiet, but we have some news about it. First, it seems that there's going to be a LG G5 lite version, and it has passed through TENAA regulatory agency with some tech specs revealed.

The recently announced LG G5 offers a modular design which includes a slide-out battery, camera and hi-fi audio attachments on top of a metal unibody chassis. Announced at MWC 2016 with a number of companion devices, the LG G5 garnered a number of awards as well. Check out what LG had to say about it and the full list below:

So just in case you missed the trash talk by LG at Samsung on Twitter (which was taken down already) during the first day of MWC 2016, initially, we wanted to do a comparison between theSamsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 to see which one is better. That was until Xiaomi Mi 5 came along and kind of dropped the mic by showing a high AnTuTu score (142084 points) which surpasses both of them, with 133054 points (G5), followed by 116668 (Galaxy S7). Although the Mi 5 comes up on top with the score, it doesn't mean that it's better. So which one is better? Let's find out in thiscomparison between the three flagships. 

Apart from modular attachments and rear dual-cameras the LG G5 was also announced with the LG 360 VR, the LG 360 CAM, LG Rolling Bot, LG Tone Platinum and H3 by B&O PLAY friends, all controllable from the LG G5 using the LG Friends Manager and LG Smart Controller. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but do check out the list of LG G5 Friends and the video and infographic in this article.

LG officially announced the LG G5 at MWC 2016 today featuring a metal uni-body and modular attachments to swap out the battery, increase the camera performance or make the smartphone into a HiFi audio device. As rumoured, the LG G5 offers a modular slide-out battery connected to the bottom panel which you can slide-out after you turn off the phone. You can then slot in another Slide-Out Battery or increase the camera performance with a Slide-Out CAM Plus attachment featuring dedicated buttons for the power, shutter, record, zoom anda an LED indicator with a more comfortable grip. The LG CAM Plus also offers an extra 1200 mAh battery with auto focus and exposure lock.

The LG Hi-Fi Plus attachement features Bang and Oluffsen or B&O PLAY for 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC upsampling audio. It also supports 32-bit 384 KHz high-definition audio playback. The LG G5 itself is always on and features an extreme Wide Angle Lens consisting of two rear cameras. One is a standard 78-degree lens while another has a 135-degree wide-angle lens, so you can switch between the two when you need to. The Always-on feature means that you can always see just the time, date and notifications on the screen even while the G5 is in sleep mode (perhaps useful in a darkened room according to the video below) which saves battery by only requiring 0.8 percent of the battery's full capacity per hour, so you don't have to always turn on the display to check things out.
