With the LG G5’s new dual-lens technology, you can switch instantaneously between a normal and wide-angle field of view, allowing you to get the whole picture. You can zoom in (up to 8x) with the standard lens to capture tight shots, and then seamlessly switch to the wide-angle lens when you zoom out, to photograph images up to 15° beyond the human field of view. In addition, the LG G5 camera includes automatic face detection, making it easier than ever to take a selfie. Store all those images in the included 32 GB hard drive, which is upgradeable to 2 TB via microSD card, sold separately.
The LG G5’s curved 5.3″ Quad HD display features 3D Arc Glass and lets you see the time, date and important notifications without waking the phone and draining the battery. With automatic screen brightness adjustments, you can watch go90 or NFL Mobile from the beach and anywhere outdoors without squinting.
The LG G5 will come in silver and titanium. The LG G5 and select LG companion device modules and accessories will be available this spring.
