what's up guys Ron prettier from technobuffalo and every year around this time we hear about Mobile World Congress and it happened in Barcelona Spain we go every single year but this year instead of just bringing you guys regular show floor coverage and video footage of phones and new tech I wanted to cover a little bit more show our experience behind the scenes as press and what it's like to go to pre briefs press conferences before the show floor actually then the show floor itself and a lot of the ins in the house that you guys normally don't get to experience so our first day we ended up going to the LG pre-brief before the show this was on Saturday and this was where LG announced their brand new g5 a awesome awesome looking phone Joe super hyped about but to be honest I found myself more interested in the doughnuts and pastries the LG g5 has a 5.3 inch display a 28 hundred million Bauer battery 32 gigs of memory four gigs of ram and a microSD card expandable slot now that's all traditional specs that's all normal smartphone stuff but what is cool here is that the phone is very google project are inspired meaning it's modular the base of the phone actually swaps out for a camera and audio module that's the chin and LG's already announced they're going to be coming out with more accessories in the future but the idea is that you click a little button the battery actually slides out so yes the removable battery so you guys can go back to stacking three or four batters in your backpack is back up and you slide in the camera module which has dedicated shutter speed roller shutter button which you can have to like to autofocus all that awesome stuff now with the camera module for example the phone does get a little bit thick and a little bit clunky but it gives you an amazing ergonomic feel it literally feels like you're using a normal camera and I cannot tell you how refreshing and amazing that is for such a long time we've seen phone manufacturers improve the megapixel count the optical quality of their cameras it's very refreshing to see LG improve that but also improve the experience of taking pictures by adding this camera module so on the back we're looking at a 16 and eight megapixel camera on the front we're looking at an eight pixel camera and yes I just named up for two resolutions for the back because there are two cameras one is a main the second as a secondary obviously which is actually a wider lens this allows the LG g5 to get ultra wide-angle shots on the rear they said during the conference that most OEM s are chasing resolution autofocus speeds and all that stuff but they felt comfortable that all cameras on phones at this point were good enough so instead of chasing that they wanted to go with a wider field of view the example they gave was at the human field of view is 122 124 degrees most smartphone camera shoots 70 to 75 degrees the LG g5 suits 135 degree wide angle these are all numbers in practice it looks very cool it's hard for me to say that this is all original because Samsung did it with their front facing camera a while back but credit where credit's due because it looks really good the rest of the phone seems really good holding into the hand it feels rounded but solid very well designed the fingerprint reader on the back is now also the power button which i think is a very clever design on LG's part other accessories like the audio modular being called friends by LG according to LG third parties will also be able to make these accessories moving into the future it's going to be really interesting to see how the g5 does with customers but at the moment I'm personally really excited about it it's very refreshing to see a phone manufacturer really try to innovate again and bring project ara type elements to the market let me know what you guys think in the comments below are you pumped about the g5 or you not give us a thumbs up if you like the style of video we would love to hear from you in the comments below and subscribe for more Mobile World Congress coverage and more awesome videos because that's all we make we make awesome stuff thanks for watching run
