LG G5 Release Date, Specs, Features & Rumors: New Flagship Coming in November?

The bad news is that for the ones planning to get hold of a Google Nexus 6P, it could take a while. It seems that Huawei underestimated the demand for the highly anticipated handset and has now found itself pushing back release dates in the process.

There may be some who will end up waiting for it while others could opt to look for alternative phones to consider. So with that in mind, how about getting hold of a soon-to-be-released device like the LG G5?

Though not as hyped as the Google Nexus 6P, the LG G5 is reportedly all set to make its debut in time for the Holidays.

The successor to the LG G4 could be a good alternative, one that would come out in two variants – the LG G5 and the LG G5 Pro.

The device will sport a 5.6-inch display which could be true HD or 4K screen resolution, calling to mind Sony’s own smartphone offering – the Sony Xperia Z5 – which should be something better than what the Google Nexus 6P has to offer.

Aside from the impressive screen display, why should you seriously consider a shift towards the LG G5?

The LG G5 is something that will not come short of power as well if it does end up beating the gun on Samsung as far as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor is concerned.

Initially believed to be still in production, there is growing belief that LG may have just pulled the rug from under Samsung when it comes to the said chip. This however remains to be confirmed though it has been indicated at the LG G5 page.

Other worthy specs to consider for the LG G5 include 4 GB of DDR5 RAM, a choice of internal storage (32, 64 and 128 GB), a 20 MP main camera, a 10 MP front-facing camera, Iris Eye recognition scanner, and a 4000 mAh battery. The device is likely to come out with Android Lollipop out of the box, hopefully 5.1.1.

Going through the specs, the LG G5 does offer some tempting specs which could show up the Google Nexus 6P which is now having issues delivering to the market.

However, that is if it does come out by December as rumors suggest. The conservative release date is expected to come out by February 2016, most likely one of the many devices expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2106 event in February (22 to 25).

If the LG G5 does take that long, there is a chance that Huawei could have satisfied the Google Nexus 6P demand by at least majority by then. Should it not, the LG G5 seems like a decent device to consider alternatively.
