 LG seems to be planning to leave the plastic behind and switching to metal, but still make it possible to change the battery. Like Samsung LG is expected to equip its flagship product with more memory and better cameras. The screen is rumored 5.6-inch with 1440 times 2560 pixels.

 

 One of the more spectacular tasks is to G5: an also should have a tailored module location like can be used to equip the phone with an amplifier for better sound.

 

 The whole point of buying an expensive smartphone is a lack of compromise, and it starts with things like long battery life, water protection, fingerprint sensor and wireless charging. They should be equally obvious that good screen and cameras.

 

 A must have feature that may distinguish the Samsung and LG phones is support for memory cards for extra storage. It has been a little different bids on Samsung’s Galaxy S7 phones have a memory card slot or not. A G5 without a memory card slot would be a minor sensation because LG has always been had it before.

Other vendors are expected to launch new handsets in various price ranges at Mobile World Congress, Huawei, Lenovo, the Oppo, Sony, HTC, Xiaomi and Blackberry.

 

 This is a trend that has grown stronger. And the answer to the question whether it is worth spending a few extra hundred dollars on one of the top models are not as obvious as a few years ago. Especially if the best camera is the top priority.

 

 Further proof of how important this part of the market came last week when Qualcomm launched three new processors for mid-range and entry-level models. Among the newcomers are the Snapdragon 625 that replaces a model that was introduced last September. It is based on a 14nm-manufacturing process which promise better Battery life. The first handsets with the processor will come in the second half of the year.
