When LG announced that their launch event has something to with “LG G5 and Friends”, I didn’t think that LG was going to announce LG G5 as a semi-modular premium smartphone.
Last February 21, LG announced its latest flagship smartphone, the LG G5. It’s amazing in many aspects, and it’s definitely huge step up from its predecessor, the LG G4. It also categorically stands out as a device among all the new smartphones announced at MWC 2016 because it’s semi-modular, something that I thought wouldn’t be available until the end of the year.

It’s semi-modular because not everything in it may be changed or modified on the fly. Based on the demo, the new LG G5’s modular functionality opens it to a multitude of available and soon-to-be available accessories.
