LG gives fans their best view yet of the new G5 phone weeks ahead of its official launch

LG appears to be pretty excited about its new smartphone and, like a kid at Christmas, just can't help reveal some of its secrets.

Yesterday, LG revealed that the G5 will feature an always on display that will show the time, date and notifications without ever needing to touch the screen.

The news was unveiled on LG's official Facebook page with the words "Never go asleep while others do. LG G5, Always ON."

Now the Korean tech giant has published more pictures of the new flagship phone tucked inside its new smart case.

LG says that its latest tech case will offers advantages over its previous Quick Covers and will include even more features.

The Quick Cover is made of semitransparent mesh and enables users to take calls and control alarm settings without ever having to open the case.

Users of the case will be able to check the time, date and notifications on the Always-on Display of the yet unseen LG G5 even with the cover closed.

LG also incorporated a unique film with a glossy metallic finish to enhance the smooth and luxurious look and feel of the cover for maximum consistency with the speculative LG G5.

The premium materials being used on the case could indicate that the G5 will be made of metal, indeed some reports from the LG supply chain point to a new all-metal case.

And there are also rumours that the G5 will feature a removable bottom.

This will allegedly replace the current case used in the LG G4, and let smartphone owners quickly gain access to the battery.

One of our biggest criticisms of last year's G4 was that it didn't feel premium enough against most of the top-end competition. Luckily we haven't got long until we see the G5 in all its glory. The phone will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on 21st February and Daily Star Online will be in Barcelona to bring you all the news as it happens. Source: DailyStar UK
