“The LG G5 and Friends were designed and developed to give our consumers a more playful smartphone experience,” said Jay Won, LG Philippines VP for Mobile Communications. “Our strong sales figures recognize our efforts to bring a truly unique innovation to the global market, and very soon, to the Philippine smartphone scene.”

The new G5 comes in 5.3 inch Quad HD IPS Quantum Display featuring a 3D Arc Glass that curves down to its metal aluminum body. LG brings the Always ON Display from V10 second display, now with G5, it is on the Main Screen that lets you glance view the time date and notifications. At the back, there's a hump that houses its Dual-Camera setup as well as FingerPrint Sensor. Sim Compartment is located at the right side while on the left is the volume rocker and module release. LG G5 comes in Silver, Gold, and Titan.


Under the hood, it runs the newest Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 Processor offering 64-bit performance, Adreno 530 graphics and lower-power Qualcomm® HexagonTM DSP as well as Qualcomm Spectra™ 14-bit dual image signal processors (ISPs) designed to deliver DSLR-quality images and additional power savings. The Snapdragon 820 processor also supports 4K capture and playback and processor is also optimized for VR, generating quality pixels and life-like colors to deliver the ultimate VR experience. Coupled with LPDDR4 RAM for memory and makes use of integrated X12 LTE modem. Turthfully enough we had no trouble navigating as well as multitasking between apps. By today's standard, its a flagship so it performs.

The G5 features two camera at the rear. First is the 8MP 135-degree lens offers a viewing angle that is approx. 1.7x wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15 degrees wider than the human eye’s field of view which let you capture more landscape, taller buildings or larger groups. The other is the 16MP with standard 78-degree lens. LG Still stands by with Laser focus and color spectrum sensor. For its selfie camera, it is at 8MP for high resolutions captures and video chats. Got samples, look here:

Left Side is the wide camera at 8MP. Per exif it shows that it has a smaller aperture at f/2.4. On the Right is the 16MP regular camera that has aperture size of f/1.8 although not wide but delivers great swallow depth of field. This can be seen by samples taken below.

Left Side Focus on the subject which is LG G5 while the background is blurred out. On the Right, it is the opposite as the background is focused while subject is not in focus.

With the Front camera, it register at aperture of f/2.0 which is acceptable and as you can see, it captured with great clarity my selfie.

The LG G5 is equipped with aptX HD, an enhanced codec that supports 24-bit sound over Bluetooth, delivering rich and clear sound over wireless connections without any loss. When paired with the LG TONE Platinum, users can experience superb quality Hi-Fi audio that sounds amazingly close to the original source.

Runs Android Lollipop with LG UX UI and brings customization and additional features like LG Health, LG Quick Remote, Capture Plus including Manager for Apps. LG adapt to the idea of everything on your homescreen but you could setup app window if you want via settings. Although we found that Dual-Mode is NOT available anymore which is a bumber as we sometimes need to multitask doing two thing at a time.

Carries a 2800mAh Removable Battery and supports Quick Charge 3.0. The LG G5 has excellent battery life, thanks to the Low Power Location Estimation technology.

Overall, LG G5 is a very revolutionary device with its modular setup that lets you add more functionalities with a little help from its friends. Focusing on the smartphone alone, LG G5 is a power-packed device with great internal hardware, dual perspective cameras, complete set of connectivity and additional features uniquely LG.

Spotted LG K10 Now Available Online Specs Price Philippines

Just announced last CES 2016, LG K10 is now finally available for purchase. Spotted via LG concept store.

Upfront it features 2.5D Arc Glass design with round corners as well as curved matte textured back that provide good grip as well as slick look. No capacitive keys here and the K10 follows suit with hardware keys on the back. It reminded me of LG G2 aesthetics. It sports a 5.3 inch HD In-Cell Display that is bright and very responsive. K10 has a Quick Cover View Case that lets you see a glance view of time date, battery and may be use to quickly answer calls and notifications.

Internally LG K10 features a Mediatek Octa-Core MT6753 Processor that is clocked at 1.14GHz complimented with 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal storage that can be expanded via MicroSD. Graphics is handled by Mali-T720. Runs Android Marshmallow 6.0 with a touch of LG own UI and added features. Had not encountered any hiccups when navigating the phone and I am sure it can handle social media apps and your online games even HD.

Camera wise it is equipped with 13MP rear camera with LED Flash and 5MP Front camera. Got a chance to get some samples and it revealed that Rear camera has an aperture of f/2.2 and front at f/2.4. Color reproduction is on point but output is just so-so for me as compared its competitors. The smallest aperture number means large hole of the camera which translate to better light conditions.

LG K10 has the regular sets of connectivity such as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Cellular data is handled by ultrafast LTE if not HSPA+ and 3G should be able to do the job. This is a Dual Sim handset with 2 nano sim card slot.

Battery is at 2300mAH wich should last you the day of moderate usage and if your into games or heavy usage i guess 4-5 hours tops.

Oh look seems it is now available with Lazada Philippines!
