The LG G5 will rival Samsung's Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge this year, and it will be launched in Barcelona, Spain just a day before the commencement of MWC 2016. Now, the South Korean smartphone brand has started teasing the device's features. The company's latest post on Facebook teases the 'Always ON' feature, which will be included in the LG G5. The device will compete with the HTC One M10, the Samsung Galaxy S7, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, and the Xiaomi Mi 5.
The GIF file shows the silhouette of the LG G5 displaying things like time and notification icons, which is similar to the LG V10's secondary display. However, its on the main display of the LG G5, which points towards a possibility of LG using an AMOLED display on the device. So, this will be the first time when flagship smartphones from Samsung, HTC, and LG come equipped with AMOLED displays at the same time.
