LG refused to develop modular smartphones

LG отказывается от разработки модульных смартфоновLast year’s flagship LG G5 is the first smartphone of the company which was implemented modular structure.

Earlier this year LG unveiled its flagship smartphone G5, which became a feature of modular design.

Now the company said it will not release this gadget due to the fact that he is not in demand.

Because of several disadvantages, LG G5 has not had much success: the company has released only two plug-in modules, they were quite expensive, and for their replacement it is necessary to turn off the smartphone. However, last month, the LG spokesman Ken Hong said that they do not intend to abandon the idea of modular smartphones and will continue to develop its next flagship G6. However, information was received that the new flagship will have modules.

G5 had a good advertising that touted modular smartphone. However, the gadget was hard to assemble and it was very expensive. As a result, manufacturers are faced with the fact that the customers did not want to buy a model because of the complexity in the application of new modules. All these factors led to a complete failure of the project.
