In one of the biggest departures from expected design, the LG G5 is a real gamechanger. Not only does it boast a range of add-on modules called Friends, but the variety of uses and new features makes it a top choice for conducting your business. Here's why.

It's faster and more powerful

The LG G5 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, making it super-fast, and it also has an extended battery life. It runs on the latest mobile OS, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and the fingerprint scanner adds an additional level of security.

It has a sleek new design

The LG G5 boasts a professional look and feel with its aluminium 'unibody', bevelled glass on the front and slim design. The 5.3-inch Quad HD display makes for crisp, clear viewing. It's available in silver, titan, gold or pink – all stylish colours, adding to the appeal.

Friends make your experience customisable

These add-on modules are a fascinating new aspect to smartphones. The bottom module of the phone can be replaced with a variety of Friends, all of which are optional extras. There are currently five Friends: two cameras, a headset with enhanced audio, a headset for virtual reality and a companion bot. For business, the headset addition is ideal: just think how much easier that would make your conference calls. Best of all, the Friends add-ons are easy to use and quick to install.

It has a host of useful features

With 32GB of memory, you will be assured of enough space to store important documents, files and images. There are two back cameras on the LG G5, one of 8MP and one of 16MP. The former boasts a 135-degree-wide lens – the largest on any smartphone in the market. The Cam Plus Friend has a built-in battery, which will give your smartphone an additional eight hours of battery life – essential if you're working a 14-hour day.
