LG G5 hands-on—LG may have made the most innovative phone of MWC

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 82%.


The battery detaches from the bottom bezel too, so if you want an extra battery you don't have to rebuy the bottom part.

NEW YORK-If you're tired of samey smartphones that change little from year-to-year other than the obligatory internal spec bump, get a load of LG's latest flagship, the G5. Phone manufactures have been making us choose between either a plastic phone with a removable battery or a more premium feeling metal device with sealed components, but the G5 brings the best of both worlds.

The phone is one solid part from top of the device to the bottom of the 5.3-inch LCD. Hold down a button on the side of the phone, and you'll be able to pull off the entire bottom bezel and the attached internal battery.

From there you can detach the battery from the bottom bezel of the phone and swap in a fresh one.

Besides replacing the battery, you can also replace the bottom bezel with something else entirely-LG plans to build several modular accessories that clip on to the bottom of the phone, replacing the stock bezel.

Removing the bottom to swap modules also pulls out the battery and kills power to the phone.
