The recent LG G5 has made its debut with the specs of:

  • 5.3in, QHD 1,440 x 2,560 resolution display
  • Snapdragon 820 processor
  • 4GB of RAM
  • 32GB storage
  • microSD slot
  • Expansion slot with camera and audio modules announced today
  • Dual rear cameras: 78-degree 16MP; 135-degree wide-angle 8MP
  • 8-megapixel front camera
  • 2,800mAh removable battery
  • 74 x 7.7 x 149mm (WDH), 159g
another thing is that the G5 sports an expansion port on the bottom of the device. The entire bottom of the phone snaps off, allowing the owner to change batteries or swap in one of LG’s expansion packs. If that's not enough it has an available microSD slot and a full metal body that comes with it.
Any thoughts or suggestions towards this new device? Is a removable battery considered an advantage/disadvantage?
