BARCELONA: LG is unveiling a smartphone with two lenses and jumping into the nascent world of virtual reality.
The main camera on LG’s upcoming G5 smartphone will have both a regular lens for standard shots and a wider-angle lens so you can capture more of what’s in front of you without having to step back.
It will also adopt a modular approach to design, so you’ll be able to pop out the phone’s bottom and swap in new hardware features. Early options include a camera grip with physical buttons to take shots and control video recording.
Today’s announcements at the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain, come as worldwide smartphone growth has slowed.
Frank Lee, a spokesman with LG’s US mobile business, said phone launches no longer generate the excitement they used to, so “it’s our responsibility to bring some energy.”
Beyond improving just the phone, LG is turning to a whole collection of products that work with it. (AGENCIES)
