LG also stops modular smartphone

las vegas - After Google's modular Project Ara smartphones last year put in the refrigerator, it is now the turn of LG to abandon the same idea. LG has told The Wall Street Journal. The successor to the modular G5 focuses more on design.

The G6 has not been officially announced. May happen next month around the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The LG G5 was expanded with additional modules like the bottom was loosening. At launch, there were a camera grip and a module for music in better sound quality.

After dropping out of Google and LG Lenovo Moto now the only manufacturer of expandable smartphones. On the back of the Moto Z may have additional modules such as, for example, be clicked a speaker, a camera, or better a larger battery.
