With an official release date set and a lot of speculation about what's inside the phone, the only thing missing is the design of the LG G5. Well, thanks to an early release on Amazon, we now have a look at a possible case (along with a render) of the latest flagship phone from LG. When/Where As stated earlier, the LG G5 now has an official release date. The LG G5 will be unveiled at this year's Mobile World Congress on, February 21st (same as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge). Design It is possible that this year's LG flagship will feature a premium all metal build. This would be a big change from the plastic or leather that was featured on previous LG smartphones. It is also being suggested that LG will keep the removable battery and expandable storage. The idea is that the LG G5 will feature a large battery tray, similar to the one that holds your SIM card. Display Rumors are suggesting that the G5 will have a 5.6-inch display, with a resolution of 2560X1440. Depending on the bezel size, the phone could potentially be the same size as last year's G4 (5.5-inches). Camera There is still some debate as to what camera the G5 will have. While some rumors are saying that it will have a 21MP sensor, others are suggesting that it will feature a 20MP camera with a custom 1/2-inch Sony sensor. Then there is the matter of the dual-lens camera, and what that could feature. Power According to reliable sources, the LG G5 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chip and 3GB of RAM. Currently, the LG G4 runs on a Snapdragon 808 chip. Based on the release date, the G5 is expected to ship with an LG skinned version of Android Marshmallow. Miscellaneous Some other features that the LG G5 may come equipped with include; a USB-C port on the bottom, a lone fingerprint sensor on the back (volume rocker is said to be moved to the side), and an "accessory slot" that allows for modular hardware expansion. As of right now, there is no word on what the pricing of the LG G5 will be. However, that detail will more than likely be unveiled during the G5's launch.

Three Days Later It's been three days since Apple held their event, announcing the new iPhones, Apple TV, and new iPads. It is no surprise that, due to all of the buzz around Apple and all of their new announcements, that a lot of us missed the announcements of from other companies on that same day. One of these announcements came from Logitech, hours after Apple ended their keynote. The Logitech CREATE Not long after Apple ended their keynote on September 9th, 2015 Logitech announced their own new product. This product is the Logitech CREATE Keyboard Case for the iPad Pro. Yes, not long after it's announcement, the iPad Pro was already pegged to receive its first third-party accessorie. According to Logitech, they worked closely with Apple to develop this keyboard case, in order to get the most out of the new iPad Pro Smart Connector. The Logitech CREATE will be the first third-party keyboard that will work with the iPad Pro's Smart Connector. “With a full-size keyboard designed to work with iOS 9, the Logitech CREATE will help make the iPad Pro a creativity and productivity powerhouse. Even the color and finish of the keyboard are meticulously crafted to feel and look like the other half of your iPad Pro.” By using the Smart Connector, the CREATE is automatically pairs with and is powered by the iPad Pro. The CREATE Keyboard Case features a full-size keyboard, and similarly to the Apple Smart Keyboard is covered in a tightly woven fabric to protect it from spills and minor scratches.
The CREATE will be available in the U.S. and select other countries. According to Logitech, it will be available the same day the iPad Pro is available to purchase. Logitech will provide more information, including pricing, closer to the CREATE's release. LG has announced that they will be making the first rollable keyboard. The LG Rolly is a Bluetooth keyboard made for your mobile devices, that rolls into a slim stick that fits in a pocket or bag. The Rolly is a full-size keyboard that is powered by a single AAA battery, and features a built-in stand for your devices. The keyboard is said to be able to run for three months, before needing the battery to be replaced. The Rolly will be officially launched in Berlin, at IFA 2015; the largest electronics trade show in Europe. LG is also rumored to announce their latest G Pad tablet, at IFA 2015.
It seems LG is hoping these products help improve their last quarter's results ($211 million, down from $516 million in the same time period last year). It is believed that these poor results are due to LG slackening the demand for their newer TVs and smartphones. |
