LG G5 AND FRIENDS, AKA Modules! The First Actual Modular Phone?
The LG G5
This... This is the LG G5, and it has modules, Extra battery, Camera, and more.Basically the LG G5 is the first look at a modular phone, but nothing we expected as of before. Honestly it looks like a nice Nexus 6P or Nexus 5P but with LG Accessories, and skinned software. This leaves room for way better camera modules from your favorite brands like Nikon, Canon, and Sony. Allthough a Sony camera is nothing new to Android devices, they have carried just about the best camera thus far. This leaves tons of more room for custom roms, and software, but will need to include all of the drivers, framework or flashables for the extras.
My Thoughts
The only thing I worry about now, is does this leave room for LG to release the device with parts that are subpar, just to get the consumer to spend more money on the modules? I've seen somewhere the modules will cost more than $150 depending on the branding, and module you are looking to upgrade. This is by far NOTHING like Project Ara, but it's a start to give us more of an idea. Honestly the device looks pretty good, given it looks like an alien tool for probing, but LG has always been great at this (Starting with the LG G2). All in all, I will review the final product, but will probably not waste my time or money on the modules.. For now.
Also, Thanks to anyone who has stayed tuned this far, I know I have off and on times, but I always do come back to talk about my favorite devices or anything that intrigues me. Soon I want to start up a Youtube channel, but I'm still a bit camera shy. Writing is getting pretty old though, I can write, and make videos, a vlog with a blog is always good.
Thanks for reading, please share my content! Thanks!
