LG is kicking off Mobile World Congress early this year with the anticipated unveiling of its new G5.

The device sports impressive specifications and an all-new modular design made out of metal, which lets users slot accessories into its bottom edge. LG calls these add-ons “Friends,” and you’ll be amazed at what they can do.

LG’s upcoming G5, which will be announced this Sunday, February 21, will be unlike any smartphone it has launched before.

Not only will it deliver an all-new design made out of metal, but it will have a unique expansion slot in its bottom that will allow users to pair it with accessories that add extra functionality. These photos give us an early glimpse at it all.
