LG G5 Smartphone
Do more with the G5 smartphone! It’s got three cameras, one in the front and two in the back…one for standard shots and another for wide angle situations so you don’t have to step back to get more into the picture. The camera even lets you take selfies without awkwardly pressing the shutter button. It simply recognizes your face and will take a selfie after just one second.
The Modular Design lets you slide out the bottom of the phone and snap on a number of new accessories right to the phone – including the LG CAM Plus that turns your LG G5 into a DSLR-like camera with a comfortable grip with real camera buttons like on/off, shutter, video, zoom and more. Plus, with an embedded battery in the LG CAM Plus, you can shoot more photos and video without draining the battery in their LG G5. The removable battery slides out so you can replace it with a fresh one, so you don’t have to have any low battery anxiety. And, a new Always on Display that lets you see the date and time without waking up your phone OR draining your battery. The LG G5 comes in four colors (Silver, Titan, Gold, Pink) and is in stores now!
