LG G5 earlier this week was spotted in render images showing the front and back panels. The smartphone is said to launch alongside some other accessories and detachable modules. It has been mentioned that the flagship smartphone will be featuring a "Magic Slot" at the bottom that can be swapped out. The slot is supposed to plug the two modules - LG Cam Plus and the DAC (digital to analogue converter).
The company is reportedly also supposed to launch the LG 360 Cam, a spherical camera meant to capture 360-degree videos and images, along with the LG 360 VR, and a non-airborne drone called Rolling Bot at the upcoming MWC 2016 trade show.
Couple of days ago LG announced its partnership with Bang & Olufsen Play (B&O Play) to deliver "enhanced high-quality audio experience" in the upcoming LG G5.
The company has already launched the LG G5 Quick Cover case ahead of the smartphone's MWC launch.
