LG is reportedly moving away from the modular design for its next flagship smartphone. Tentatively named LG G6, the smartphone is expected to arrive in early 2017. The LG’s mobile designers are revisiting the drawing board to work on a robust mono-block design for the G6, according to ET News.
LG G5 is the first flagship to arrive with a modular concept and a couple of add-on modules. Of course, those modules ranging battery pack to improved speakers sell separately. However, LG’s ambitious plan did not work as expected.
LG had spend couple of years working on the modular phone design. While the phone as a whole is a terrific flagship, the consumers did not buy in the additional modules requirement. Mostly because of the hassle of plugging in and removing those mods.
