Murphy’s Law is an old adage which tells us that, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” This law instead of encouraging pessimism, encourages us to be adequately equipped for all situations. This has led to customization and development of modular technology that brings together many elements in one product. This is slowly seeping into the smart phone space as well. In the era of customization, modular technology products are the consumer’s choice. Smart phones have proven to be perhaps the defining technology of the 21stcentury. But the smart phone saturation in the market has led to the development of revolutionary technologies that make smart phones intuitive, adaptable and unique devices whose components can be customized and tailored according to ones need.
The wide array of applications enables us to customize and use the phone for a number of things like gaming, taking photos, etc. Customizable technology is nothing new. Smart phones have been successful because of the variety of customizing options they provide which allows users to personalize everything from apps to operating system layouts. But every device has its limitations and to overcome this LG is the first one to develop modular smart phone, the LG G5.
LG’s innovative Modular Type design gives the LG G5 the ability to transform into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more. One can make it a phone, camera, player depending upon one’s mood. With the G5, LG introduced a paradigm-shifting smart phone ecosystem — the LG Playground. As part of the ecosystem, LG brought forth a wide range of companion devices, aptly called LG Friends, to deliver fun while providing a whole new mobile experience that transcends far beyond the traditional smart phone boundaries. The very diverse range of Companion devices with LG G5 includes LG 360 VR, LG 360 CAM, LG Rolling Bot, LG Tone PlatinumTM, H3 by B&O PLAY, LG Smart Controller and LG Friends Manager.
