LG G5

LG brought its A-game to MWC 2016. The LG G5 is a proper head-turner with its always-on display and modular add-on concept. The handset is also big in the camera department, bringing two separate shooters with different fields of view, allowing for zooming action and some cool effects.

And while the G5 is definitely worth plenty of attention of its own, LG believes it's the ecosystem of accessories that will give it the edge over its competitors. The LG 360 VR headset is pretty much self-explanatory in its purpose and so is the LG 360 Cam, while the LG Rolling Bot spices things up with a quirky design and unorthodox functionality.

The body itself is very clean. The shapes are nicely rounded and LG even added a curve on top of the front panel to make the whole package even more attractive. The top houses the 3.5 mm jack and the bottom has the USB Type-C connector, a microphone and a speaker grille on the left. Upon closer inspection of the bottom bit one of the G5 major oddities becomes instantly apparent. The chin below the screen slides by pressing a key to its side to reveal the user-removable battery.

The LG G5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, just as expected, along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage with an additional microSD card slot. That is going to be the setup of choice for a lot of the 2016 flagships and it should be quite powerful. During our time with the G5, we actually managed to sneak a quick AnTuTu benchmark and got a score of 72681 points. That's slightly lower than the best score we've got so far (Huawei's Kirin 950), but since what we had for testing was a G5 unit running early software the score was actually very impressive.
