In the first half of 2016, LG released their latest flagship mobile phone, the G5, which made the technology circle climax again and again. Because G5 is a modular mobile phone, its unique body structure can make the chin part separate when the mobile phone has a full metal body. Through the changeable module design of plug-in battery, the metal body can also replace the battery, and instantly revive with full blood. This is just the tip of the iceberg of G5 module design. Its most powerful point is that G5 has different expansion functions by replacing different chin components. LG has released two replacement modules LG CAM Plus and LG HiFi Pluswith B&O Play at the press conference, LG CAM Plus Not only is it equipped with a physical shutter button and a dial wheel, which makes the phone instantly turn into a professional camera, but also it is very comfortable to hold it. In addition to the amazing photography effect of G5, it makes you instantly turn into a photographer. The other LG HiFi Pluswith is also attracting attention. For music lovers, this module provides the built-in frequency rise technology on the previous V10, It also supports playback of 32 bit, 384 kHz high-quality audio sources, making the G5 a professional HiFi player instantly. LG also promises to develop interfaces so that third parties can bring more possibilities to G5.
These blockbuster functions have made the vast number of technology enthusiasts suddenly explode, and they have launched a wonderful reverie on modular mobile phones. But is the situation really as beautiful as LG said? Xiao Bian himself is also immersed in meditation. In the age when all mobile phone manufacturers have taken corporate reports as the first priority, even Apple cannot escape. In order to grasp more users and constantly compromise his principles, can LG really develop a unified module interface with G5? This requires that G5 has a very high sales volume as the basis. After all, third-party manufacturers are not fools. It is impossible to invest too much R&D and cost to develop accessories for a mobile phone, let alone an interface that we do not know whether to use consistently. After all, if LG unifies the existing interface of G5 as the future standard, it will not be able to make too many changes in the appearance and size of mobile phones in the future. This is not what third-party manufacturers and consumers want to see. At present, Apple may be the only manufacturer that can uniformly let third-party developers develop accessories for it, not because of how powerful Apple is, but because Apple's interface is fairly unified, and its understanding is also huge. If LG needs to develop its own mobile phone expansion module, it may have to rely more on itself. However, because today's mobile phones are updating too quickly, LG cannot invest too much resources and time in customizing module components for LG G5. This can be seen from the fact that the HiFi Pluswith customized by B&O for G5 can be used by other brands of mobile phones through the data cable.
LG G5 has indeed injected new blood and direction into today's highly homogenized mobile phone circle, but its modular concept can never be as beautiful as LG said. Today's manufacturers and companies are all connected, such as data cables, headsets, and other universal accessories. Of course, third-party manufacturers are not worried about R&D and production, but such as module components, which can be used in a mobile phone, It's not just shouting slogans.
