LG G5 - Always ON!

LG G5 is an upcoming Android smartphone developed by LG Electronics. It was announced on 21 February 2016 during Mobile World Congress as the successor to 2015's LG G4. The G5 is distinguished from its predecessors by its aluminum chassis and a focus on modularity; the lower housing which contains the battery can be slid from the bottom of the device, and replaced by alternative add-on modules that provide additional functions, such as a camera grip or a high-fidelity audio module.

Hardware

The G5 is constructed with an aluminum unibody chassis, available in silver, gold, graphite, and pink finishes. A "micro-dazing" process was used to conceal seams required for the antenna. A rounded rectangular protrusion houses the camera components, and the bottom houses a USB Type-C connector.

Unlike previous G models, the G5's volume buttons were re-located from the back of the device to its side bezel, but the circular power button—which now also contains a fingerprint reader—remains on the rear. The lower portion of the device serves as a battery tray; it can be detached to remove or replace the battery, as well as install add-on modules to add additional functionality. The battery plugs into these modules, which is reinserted to replace the stock battery tray.

The G5 utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 system-on-chip accompanied by 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, except in Latin America, and has 32 GB of internal storage expandable via micro SD card. The G5 includes a 5.3-inch 1440p IPS display, which features an "always-on" mechanism that persistently displays a clock and notifications when the device is in standby. The G5 features two rear-facing cameras; a 16-megapixel primary camera, as well as an 8-megapixel 135 degree wide-angle camera. The color spectrum sensor and infrared autofocus features were carried over.

Model variants

Due to financial conditions and advisories by local carriers, the LG G5 is downgraded for the Latin America market to use the slower, octa-core Snapdragon 652, and only includes 3 GB of LPDDR3 RAM

Software

The LG G5 is bundled with Android 6.0 "Marshmallow". Citing confusion between removing shortcuts to apps and uninstalling them entirely, the G5's home screen does not feature an "app drawer", and instead places all apps on pages of the main home screen similarly to iOS and other custom Android distributions. LG G5 does not support Android Marshmallow's "adopted storage" feature.

Accessories

The "Quick Cover" accessory was unveiled prior to the unveiling of the device itself; it is semi-translucent and features a window for the always-on portion of the screen. Touch inputs can be made through the cover and semi-translucent screen for actions such as accepting calls.

A line of accessories for the G5 branded as "Friends" were unveiled alongside the phone itself, including a wired head-mounted display known as the LG 360 VR (which attaches via the device's USB Type-C port), the LG 360 Cam virtual reality camera, and the LG Rolling Bot. These accessories are all managed via the LG Friends Manager application on the device, which automatically pair and synchronize with these devices. The 360 VR is not compatible with the Latin American G5 model.

Two accessories utilizing the modular battery pack system were unveiled; the "LG Cam Plus" accessory adds a grip to the rear of the device that incorporates physical camera controls, a jog wheel for zoom, as well as a supplemental battery. The "LG Hi-Fi Plus" accessory is a collaboration with Bang & Olufsen which adds a DAC, an amplifier, Direct Stream Digital audio support and upsampling, and is bundled with B&O Play H3 earbuds

Apple iPhone 8

Apple is planning to bring something Unique and Efficient like never before. As per rumors, the brand is working on 10 Different Prototypes. It is very early to clearly suggest what we’re going to experience next year! But before the release of iPhone 8, Apple is preparing to launch iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s+. So there is a plenty of time left for iPhone 8.  Apple has been always known for the quality of the hardware they provide in iPhone’s. I don’t think so any other companies can compete in terms of hardware provided in the iPhone 8 . The display will be Home to Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor and a Selfie Shooter. If we are talking about revolution, the Apple may get rid of a home button. This will be possible with embedding camera and touch ID system directly into the display screen.  The idea of the Edge to Edge Display looks valid. But we are not confirmed if the display size will surpass traditional range or the size of iPhone will be reduced to go with the scr...
