MWC 2016: I like LG G5 more and more

When I saw LG G5 for the first time, I thought, "how ugly it is," ... I'm not an expert on style, so I went back to the LG booth to - calmly - take a look at the new model. And you know what? I like it!

The appearance of LG G5 is highly controversial. In general, the beauty of the phone is quite debatable, but when it comes to quality, you cannot criticize anything. There were used good quality materials, the phone fits comfortably in my hand, it is ergonomic. I wish the volume keys had disappeared from the back, but the switch which was left there (along with a biometric scanner) is extremely handy. In G5 everything is great: the screen, the camera, the pace of work ...and the battery. Removable - but this is not the end.

As you probably already know, in LG G5, you can remove the entire bottom of the housing, replace the battery, and instead of the standard "piece" of the phone, pin in its place the Bang & Olufsen amplifier or a grip to the camera. Trying audio capabilities under conditions of fair was not feasible, but I tried to take some pictures with a photographic attachment. It actually makes it easier to manipulate the phone to take pictures. I checked also, what is the comfort of the exchange of modules and the battery. The message is simple: a few decent snaps and done. It can be done even with one hand but both hands will be more convenient and faster. I like the idea. We'll see, how it will behave in the longer usage.

In addition to great G5, at the LG stand I could also see and try new products before the MWC. There were both models LG X screen and LG X cam, as well as a bit more subdued LG Stylus 2. The phones also are not missing anything, but my heart stole a bit older model - LG V10 in the gold-white housing. Unfortunately I have not noticed it at the stand - but maybe it's better, because I do not know whether I would resist the temptation to take it and escape to the beach?
