More evidence of the app drawer’s impending elimination with Android N has surfaced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week.

Just days after LG announced its new G5, which ships without an app drawer by default, HTC has unveiled the One X9 — which follows the same path.

LG’s new G5 ships with a new launcher that lacks an app drawer, meaning every title you download from Google Play ends up on your home screen. There’s a rumor that claims Google will take the same step with its Android N upgrade later this year.

Here’s why that decision makes sense, and why it doesn’t matter to existing Android users.

Mobile World Congress doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow — and yet Samsung has already stolen the show with its new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

Packing improved designs that are IP68-certified for water-resistance, always-on displays, and stellar specifications, these are the South Korean company’s best smartphones yet.

Read on to find out what you get under the hood, and when they’ll be available.

After unveiling its latest flagship at Mobile World Congress this morning, LG has published the first promotional videos that give us a closer look at the G5, its many awesome features, and its modular “Friends.”

The clip below features its LG Cam Plus add-on, the Hi-Fi Plus developed with Bang & Olufsen, a rolling robot that keeps an eye on your home, and more.

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.
