LG G5 expected at Mobile World Congress with modular battery
A device ” important ” will be unveiled by LG at the Mobile World Congress 2016. The main suspects are currently LG G5 and LG G Flex 3, which could have some original features in the category.
The Korean company has anticipated to PhoneArena will present a smartphone thick at Mobile World Congress 2016 with the launch event to be held on 21 February. LG did not specify the exact model that is about to present next month, but it is definitely possible that this is one of LG G5 or LG G Flex 3, which is one of the spearheads of its line-up planned for 2016.
To substantiate the hypothesis LG G5 at MWC is a series of render appeared on the site CNet Korea carried out by ” an eyewitness ” who would have been able to get in touch with the next flagship of the company. The render depicting a device made entirely of metal and with a flat form factor with rounded corners. LG seems to abandon many of the stylistic traits typical of its top of the range of the latest generation, such as plastic and the slight curvature.
Despite being introduced a unibody, LG has managed to maintain a removable battery with a very particular mechanism that is explained briefly in the new render. The lower part of the frames can be removed with ease thanks to a sort of design to the drawer, which allows to pull out the compartment as far as possible by preventing any intrusion of liquids and powders. If the rumors turn out to be correct, then, LG will abandon big part of the stylistic path followed in recent years.
The company had been the last of the big names to count the polycarbonate in its high-end, leaving aside metal and glass and choosing rather to introduce a cover rear in another material premium skin. The use of plastic allowed the flagship LG a slight curvature and a flexible form factor, feature, market numbers in hand. It seems that has not been appreciated by the users moving. LG must then change something to reverse this trend.
Recall that at the moment we can only rely on some assumptions based on rumor, since the company has not yet released official information on the subject. The next flagship LG could get about a month now, and only then can we be sure of what will be the novelty of the new model.
