Motorola entered the Lenovo Tech world 2016 to unleash the brand new Moto Z. Actually, Moto Z is just another super smartphone that replaces the Moto X and launched as the flagship moto device. So far we have seen a lot of smartphones being launched in this year and now Moto Z. So Will this Moto Z can compete with other devices. Let us compare it with the LG’s own modular phone LG G5.
The Moto Z gets fatter when the Moto Mods are attached, however. Motorola's new LG G5-style accessory system arrives in the form of magnetic 'backpack' attachments that connect to the 16 pogo pins on the back of the smartphone.

After the launch of LG G5 handset this spring and Google’s launch of final version of Project Ara , there has been much talk of modular smartphones. Modular smartphones differ from regular mobiles in many aspects, as they are made up of "building block" design i.e., made up of various interchangeable modules containing different hardware components. These can be switched quickly and easily to boost performance or replace faulty parts.
Concept of modular smartphones was given by a Dutch designer, Dave Hakkens, whose Phonebloks mobile is based on a set of small modules (processor, hard disk, camera, etc.) that can be easily changed and updated. Once assembled, they form a smartphone with varying levels of performance and functionality, a bit like a desktop PC. As well as making savings for users, a modular design can also help counter planned obsolescence in smartphones.
Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) get inspired from the idea and developed Project Ara. Initially presented as a similar project to Phonebloks, comprising almost as many modules as a smartphone has components, the handset evolved, little by little, into a slightly less ambitious prototype presented at the last Google I/O conference in Mountain View, California.
It now takes the form of a smartphone with just six interchangeable modules, including a second display, a camera, memory, a speaker, etc. The screen, processor and RAM are all grouped together in one core block that cannot be modified. A developers' kit is due to be released later this year, ahead of a planned consumer launch in 2017.
The only modular smartphone currently available in market is LG G5. It was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, back in February,2016. This handset has a slide-out bottom for changing the battery in just a few seconds. As well as its removable battery, additional interchangeable elements can be added to the phone, such as camera and audio modules. The LG G5 is out now priced at around US $650.
Sprint have Listed LG G5 with detail of per-order and specifications , You can per-order LG G5 form 24th of March online and and March 25 in-store with price of $576.
Smartphone will be released on April 1
The LG G5 will be offered by Sprint for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $24. It will also offer customers the LG G5 for $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate when signing a new two-year contract with the carrier.
LG have launched LG G5 in February, 2016. G5 Comes with slide out battery and more features. Here is LG G5 Review, Price, Specifications, Features. Take a look toward LG G5 Full Specification, advantages and disadvantages.The Design of LG G5 is Pretty Good with metal uni-body and modular design. So, Checkout LG G5 Review, Full Specifications, Pros and Cons.
LG G5 Review
LG G5 Comes with 5.3 inch display with 1440*2560p Resolution. This Smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, it comes with 4GB of RAM. One of the best feature of this smartphone, you can expand it internal storage from 32GB to 2TB via microSD card.
LG G5
The LG G5 runs Latest Android v6.0, G5 packs 16MP rear Camera and 8MP front camera for selfies. LG G5 powered by 2800mAh battery which is Slid-out. LG G5 available in Pink, Silver, Gold, Titan colors.
LG G5 support single SIM and also Dual SIM, both options are available and in the Connectivity features it comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and 4G. And the Sensors in this Mobile include Ambient light sensor, Proximity sensor, Gyroscope and Accelerometer.
But despite everything, it's good to see a company taking a chance by creating a smartphone that genuinely does something different. More accessories are available (including a BB-8-style robot ) and the company has promised others are on the way.
And if the trick does pay off then LG deserves the credit for reinventing a gadget that for most of us remains the same year after year.
I said know this would happen. I even have told my friends about this, finally LG is going after Samsung with everything it’s got in 2016 and the LG G5 is just about the most interesting handset I’ve seen in recent times. LG has listened to consumers, seen what they want, and has built a phone that speaks to their needs and wants.
You can’t please everybody though and complaints thus far seem to be two fold: the G5 is ugly, which, of course, is subjective, or that it doesn’t have a big enough display. Again, a matter of opinion. I’d argue LG really has tried its hardest to meet the needs of practically every consumer out there; from floating voters and existing G4 users, right up to early adopters and power users looking for the next big thing. In this case, the G5’s modular aspect.
I’ve watched the company grow in confidence with each new release. The Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 got LG back in the game, proving it could make decent phones. But it wasn’t until the LG G3 that everybody stood up and took notice. Since then the company has been going from strength to strength and the LG G5 typifies just what is possible when a company is hitting all the right notes.
The LG G5 isn’t incremental. It doesn’t look like the LG G4. It has a bunch of new features and specs but, unlike nearly every other phone that’ll be released this year, it has something completely new, something 99.9% of people had no idea even existed until earlier today. Yes, I am talking about the G5’s modular derrière. But first, let’s get the basics out of the way.
LG G5 Design
I am 100% in love with this phone. I love the way it looks; the design is subtle, fresh and premium. There isn’t an antenna band in sight, the corners are smooth and the build materials are just excellent. I’m also OK with the fact that it has a 5.3in display, a 0.2in smaller than last year’s model. I say, OK, but I kind of would have preferred 5.5in, but that’s just me.
LG isn’t one of those brands you immediately associate with quality design and build materials. Apple is, ditto Samsung and HTC. But not LG, not really, anyway. LG has always been good at hardware and specs and getting everything to play nice. And that was fine. This is, after all, what most people care about. I expected this to be the case in 2016 as well.
How WRONG I was. The LG G5 is premium as hell and is made out of magnesium which looks smart, thanks to its matte finish, and aids grip quite a bit as well. The end result is utterly fantastic and not a lot unlike a slightly smaller Google Nexus 6P. I’m pretty convinced this will be my next phone.
The G5 has a fingerprint scanner around the back in the now-usual spot and the volume rocker and unlock/power key are back in the more traditional place on the side of the handset. The back of the device is almost completely seamless; the only break in the unibody design comes from where the modular component connects at the bottom.
The G5 weighs 159g and measures in at 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7mm, making it both smaller and lighter than its predecessor. The battery is a removable 2800mAh, which you access, along with the SD card, via the modular component at the bottom of the device. The LG G5 ships with 4GB of RAM and comes with 32GB of storage, but you will be able to supplement this with SD cards (up to 2TB).
Oddly, the LG G5 -- like the Samsung Galaxy S7 -- does not support Android’s adaptive storage feature, which essentially forces the phone OS to view external storage the same as internal storage. Samsung said the reason it excluded support for adaptive storage was because the feature wiped an SD card’s contents if removed incorrectly, and that was a risk it wasn’t willing to leave on the table -- not when its customers’ content is so important. I imagine LG will be taking a similar stance.
LG G5 That Modular Thing
As previously mentioned, the LG G5 has a modular component located on the bottom of the device’s chassis. Inside here you get access to the G5’s removable battery and SD cards. This is the dull stuff, though, because the really interesting part is the fact that you can attach accessories to the phone -- accessories like a Bang & Olufsen DAC for superior music quality or LG Cam Plus, which adds 1100mAh battery and hardware controls (hardware key, a video button, zoom controls) to the G5’s camera.
The G5’s modular section will be open to third-party developers as well. What kind of stuff will we see launched in the coming months? The sky’s the limit, really. Game controllers, photography accessories -- you name it. Personally, I think this is one of the coolest thing to happen to phones in a long time. I can’t wait to have a proper go with the G5 and its army of accessories.
On paper this feature seems almost too good to be true. And in practice the feature seems to work remarkably well. However, how it works in actual, real world testing remains to be seen and it is impossible to make a judgement call on this aspect of the G5 based on our limited time with the handset at MWC 2016. Bugs, performance issues and things generally going on the fritz are all associated with first-generation products and new types of connectivity.

LG G5 Camera It’s basically impossible to test a camera out for a first look, so for the sake of this article we’ll just recap what the LG G5 packs in the imaging department.
The LG G5 has two cameras on the rear: one with a standard 78-degree lens and another with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15 degrees wider than the human eye’s field of view. The wide angle lens makes it easier for users to capture more landscape, taller buildings or larger groups without having to position oneself further from the subject.
Like most things to do with this handset, the imaging looks and sounds very impressive. Even more so when you factor in the accessories (LG 360 Cam) you can attach to the phone via the G5’s modular port. Plus the fact that LG has opened up the modular aspect of the G5 to third party developers, making way for even more innovation in the coming months.
LG G5 Release Date
The latest LG G series phone was released back in April, 2015. So there are practically no chances of LG introducing its next generation phone this year. But 2016 is definitely going to witness the launch of LG G5. We are expecting the makers to officially announce about the phone in March 2016. However, according to some leaked informations and media report, LG is getting ready for a pre-Christmas 2015 release. So, the LG G5 Release Date is expected to be scheduled in November, 2015. Every year LG has followed the trend of officially announcing their phone, so this year would not be any exception to this. Consequently the phone will be released in Asian market in the middle of November, 2016. In the subsequent weeks it will be released in USA and Europe. LG G5 Price The LG G5 feels like the prototype of a mobile phone we’ll have been using. It sews together powerful hardware, like a fantastic cam and also modular style, yet fails on looks. The G5 will launch in 4 colors, pink, grey, silver, and gold while no price was revealed. Taking into consideration in 2013’s model went for $600; we’re probably looking at around the same price.
Stay with us for more updates about LG G5, LG’s next best. very soon LG G5 pre-order will started on all the major eCommerce sites like Amazon and other.
LG G5 Initial Reaction
Outstanding! The LG G5 is EASILY one of the most innovative handsets I’ve ever laid eyes on. It is completely unique in the mobile space at present and I believe it, and not the Galaxy S7, will be the benchmark by which all other Android handsets are measured by in 2016.
