LG

South Korea’s LG has needed to play second fiddle to Samsung for years however that doesn’t suggest it’s now not going large on MWC announcements. The company can be unboxing its cutting-edge flagship, the LG G5, at an event on Sunday afternoon — admittedly a few hours before Samsung’s huge monitor in order that the LG G5 will have its very own second within the limelight.

We already understand the G5 will consist of a hint-enabled case — thanks to LG PRing this tidbit already. The case will allow users take calls, check the time/date and notifications while not having to flip it open to get to the display screen, thanks to the phone having an constantly on show. The case is paying homage to HTC’s Dot View case, released with its flagship HTC One M8 telephone back in spring 2014. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery….

What else can we recognise about the LG G5? Rumors endorse a steel unibody layout, which might be a step up from LG’s usual plastic layout; a fingerprint scanner (and probably iris scanning tech); and twin digital camera lenses at the rear, which would be another ‘inspired through HTC’ moment.
