which modules would you like to see for the lg g5

[suljo94]

So guys Which modules would you guys like to see for the g5?


to kick things off I was thinking of a blackberry priv like keyboard for those who can't stand software keyboards and I also thought that it would be usefull for battery cases they can be attached now without having to hide the connector on the bottom and they now have a way to talk to the phone like the apple case(which looks like hell) but I am corious what you guys can think off

added pictures of blackberry priv

Nice one!
An external stereo speaker would be nice.

It's a pity the modules only plug in on one side, (otherwise you could plug in 2 speakers either side), but they might be able to have a module that matches the top speaker for stereo.

If I remember correctly there used to be a stereo speaker mod for the g3 where both speakers would activate, but we could have dual speakers on the bottom

How do they expect people to use cases with these modules? Will the cases have cutouts or would you need a special case for each module?

Preordered already a LG G5 for 599USD. Want I want to see would be an external display to make the current 16:9 resolution to 21:9. Pretty geeky I know, but for a movie it would be something. Otherwise already mentioned a better speaker.

Thats pretty neat! But how about using simultaneously two different modules? (B&O Hifi plus + QWERTY/Z pad or a device to use multiple sim cards actively (business, privat, data package etc.) Since LG is allowing third party companys to make their own module for the LG G5 there is the potential for good and useless things.

Where did you preorder? is it unlocked or carrier locked?

I live in switzerland and somehow our mobil phones always had great UVPs. Our phones are usually unlocked in term of sim card usage. Bootloader is something i don't know yet. Hoping for the best case.

I see, that's good. I honestly doubt it comes with an unlocked bootloader but if it is an unlocked version hopefully it comes with unlocked bootloader as well, isn't it possible to just root and unlock in the future though?

A super extended battery with high res audio. If I could get that and cm13, I would declare this the best android device ever made.

Perhaps some kind of frame case that has adjustable parts.

I think the modules are imbedded in the lg framework so I don't think they will work on cm

That HiFi DAC + a different and bigger battery = win.

I'd love to see a trackball module like the one on the good old Nexus One and maybe also a USB host type-A module (although it'll be bulky as hell...)

 

[qwerty_man]

A landscape oriented physical keyboard of course!!! I would love to develop the hardware and software for this and make it a kickstarter if LG is actually open to 3rd party modules (no idea yet?).

 

[Gurule92]

I would love a case that connects to the module with an extended battery and maybe a second screen on the back of it, like an e-paper one. That'd be legit

I'm surprised to see that my idea was already mentioned by @onRecord (great minds...), because I fully acknowledge that's it's... a little crazy (but just enough to work!) I think it would be awesome to have an extended display module. I really like the modularity of the G5, but I've had Notes for a while now, and just prefer bigger displays. I'm thinking that the existence of a module that extends the screen about half an inch or a bit more and also contains as much extra external battery as could fit would very possibly convince me to swap my Note 4 for a G5. Usage-wise, it would be sweet to put the soft nav keys and dock on the extension.

It doesn't seem very likely that something like this will ever exist, but I was just thinking what modules would be cool and that was one of the first to come to mind. In any case, props to LG for releasing this legitimately innovative modular feature!

Capacitive buttons +1

An external gaming GPU ? Slide keyboard and a small trackpad would be awesome! Maybe storage moduel? Game controls?(it could be inserted like a phone case!)
Extended battery would be the best xD specially since g5 has a small battery! I wished it had an internal small battery just to last 20-10s for changing the battery without needing to restartit!

A moduel with full size USBs could also be useful! Maybe a moduel with improved wi fi and phone antenna!
