hey structure guard from Andhra Authority what's going on everybody and here we are again with the LG g5 now I wanted to give you guys a closer look into how the modules actually work on the g5 and removing this little bottom panel right here where the battery will actually come out and I'll do that in a second but as a quick disclaimer I will tell you that if you'd looked at our LG g5 first look and also the camera future focus that will tell you everything you need to know about the camera and also about how the modules kind of work what we're going to use right now is just an example of what it's like to actually remove everything and to be able to change the functionality of this device as you're pressing this little area you feel that there's a slight movement in the bottom panel that kind of comes out a little bit and after that by holding down on that area you are actually able to just remove the entire area now it is very much recommended that you turn off the device first as we had right here and be able to just pop out the battery like this now this is the entire battery right here the 28 28 hundred rather milliamp hour battery that is here and it comes with this nice little inscription on the bottom that says life's good when you play more and that's exactly what we're going to be doing with the LG g5 by adding in a new peripheral now one thing that you have to know about we're moving the battery on here is that you kind of have to come at an angle on this so by gripping on the side like this and removing the battery you just be able to snap it off like that and you can already see right here that the proprietary connector on here is what will snap into other peripherals that are used with the LG g5 in this case we are going to be using the one that probably is very important to a lot of shooters out there the actual camera module now the camera module is going to add hardware buttons in order to take advantage of the camera and by doing so we're just going to put the battery in at a certain angle like this and just well that snap it into place it does take a little bit of getting used to but after a while it's not all that hard to do and it's going to become second nature and once you have the battery inside of the new module you'll just take out the g5 and light it right in and once you feel the snap and it does not come out by pulling it unless you press this little area on the side you should be good to go now coming in just a little bit closer to the module itself we're going to show you what it looks like when I turn this over now we have the camera module right here which adds a full area right here in order for you to grip now that will allow everything to be easy rather this way that would be easier to use for taking shots because we also have the shutter button right here a button for triggering video recording a dial in order to change the zoom and then a small little area right here where you're just going to flick this toggle in order to trigger the camera but of course when you remove the battery and you put in a new module the battery is being reinserted so we do have to turn the device on now for actually using the module here this is the one that you're going to use that actually makes the phone not all that well let's say pocketable because you have this large area right here that houses a 1200 milliamp hour battery which will bolster the already include 2800 so you will get more battery life out of this particular grip so it's nice to be able to have that function but having the grip right here allows it to feel even more secure when you're actually taking photos with it turn on the brightness and this little toggle on the side right here is what we're going to use to trigger the camera so just by flicking that area right there we'll be able to get right into the camera now shooting with this particular module is a lot easier because you have the hardware buttons already up on the sides and resting your finger on this area right here will make things very easy while you press the shutter button with your index finger much like a point-and-shoot camera so it's pretty obvious already that the grip makes shooting with this camera even easier and as we showed in our camera future focus things are actually quite nice with the wide-angle 135 degree angle view that is available accompanying the regular more narrow field of view in the original lens now pressing the shutter button halfway down will get you a focus just like a regular camera and then you press all the way down in order to take the picture you can also trigger video recording using the other button and there we are doing a video so everything is just nice and easy to use we're just one hand right there now as you can see we already have the pinch to zoom in order to change from the two different lenses and be able to zoom in as needed but this dial that is right here on the corner will allow for the same functionality so if you are holding the phone in one hand on the grip you'll be able to just roll the dial in order to do the zoom this is just one example and probably the best one that's available right now as to what the module is able to do the modular design rather is able to do by adding even more functions to the LG g5 and so there you have it for a quick look at the modular design of the LG g5 we have the camera module on here right now and as you saw in this video it's actually not all that hard to get the battery out of the original g5 construction and be able to change the battery into whatever the new modules may be now if you saw our first look already you know that we were taking a look at the camera module and then we also have a bang and Austin created hi-5 DAC module that was able to pre create hi-fi audio at 32 bit for even better audio listening so those are just the two examples that we had currently for these modules and we are really excited to see what other ones will be made available LG did make it clear that the design and the construction of this modular design will be made available to third-party manufacturers so they will be able to create even more experiences and even actually create third-party batteries so you can bolster the replaceable battery experience on the LG g5 so keep it tuned to Android authority for all of the best including the LG g5 if you haven't already taken a look at our first look and the verses that we have and the future focus videos that we have on this particular device you can go and head on over to Android or decom for even more of all of that subscribe to this channel if you haven't already to keep up with the LG g5 because we are your source for all things MWC 2016
