Here's everything LG's gorgeous new phone can do
The LG G5 comes in four different colors. Gold, silver, dark gray, and pink. LG said it's coming out in early April.
And LG gave the G5 a premium aluminum unibody design.
It looks gorgeous.
The home button is on the back and has a fingerprint sensor.
LG moved the volume buttons from the back around the home button to the side.
The back isn't removable, but you can add a microSD card for expandable storage in the SIM card tray.
It features USB-C for fast charging and connecting to computers.
The top and bottom edges are slightly curved.
A cool new feature is an "always-on" 5.3-inch screen that lets you glance the time and basic notification information.
But the most interesting feature is the bottom.
Because it's removable.
This lets you swap batteries.
You can also swap out the bottoms with different modules that do different things. This is the B&O Play DAC module that plays music in amazing quality.
This is the Cam Plus camera grip module. The dial is for easier zooming and there's a shutter button for greater control over focus and exposure.
Along with the main yellow battery, the camera grip module also comes with an extra built-in battery.
Another cool feature is the dual lens camera. One of the lenses has a wide 135-degree field-of-view with a 8-megapixel sensor and the other has a 78-degree field-of-view with 16 megapixels.
You can zoom from the wider lens to the narrower lens seamlessly.
You can take a picture with both lenses at the same time.
This mode lets you take a picture with all three cameras at once, including the front facing camera.
And of course, you get LG's signature manual camera mode for more control over your shots.
