8 Coolest Smartphones Coming In 2016
6. LG G5 Its styling might not melt the eyes like a Galaxy, but LGs self-leaked and soon-to-be-sold flagship is a serious contender for smartphone of the year. With a 5.3in QHD display (complete with always-on notification element), a dual-lens setup for extra-wide snaps and a Snapdragon 820 chip inside, the G5 seems set to make a serious splash. Due to hit shelves around April, theres no firm word on pricing yet, but, for the closest thing to a modular mobile, it could be worth setting aside some pennies. Yes, you read that right: the LG G5 has its heart set on true customisation, in the form of an interchangeable bottom element. Simply tug off the base and stick in something more appealing from the Cam Plus camera grip (with extra shooting controls) to the Hi-Fi Plus, a slot-in with audio-boosting smarts. Better still, all of the bases are attached to the phone's battery, so you can swap a drained cell for one fresh full of juice. How useful this will be in practice remains to be seen, but the G5, complete with USB Type-C port, 4GB of RAM and all of LGs photographic prowess on-board, certainly has the building blocks of a super phone.
