Get a grip: Checking out the LG G5's Cam Plus

2016-03-23
LG's flagship phone the g5 has a powerful Snapdragon 820 processor two rear cameras and a unique design this design features a battery that pulls out from the bottom bezel in addition to the benefit of being able to switch out your battery this also allows you to attach other accessories to the handset there are only a couple of accessories from LG that you can use with the g5 in this way one of which is the cam plus the cam plus is basically a camera grip that has physical buttons you can use to control the camera there's a toggle button that launches the camera app zooming dial a shutter button and a separate button for video recording attaching the component is easy enough you just press the button on the left edge and pull out the chin detaching the battery does take a bit of wrangling but once you remove it you hook it onto the grip and snap that back in the cam plus does add bulk to the phone so you wouldn't keep it on your g5 all day but it makes it easier and more comfortable to hold while you're out taking photos the tactile buttons are also reminiscent of your typical point-and-shoot though I found the toggle button too small to use comfortably so I ended up just launching the camera from the touch screen anyway I imagined the camp closed for someone who's determined to get the most out of their g5s camera who knows we'll take a ton of pictures and also want an excuse to use the handsets modular design as of yet LG hasn't announced any pricing or availability for the campus or any of the g5 of their accessories the phone itself will launch in early April though so look for these products after that date
