The LG G5 is currently under the wraps but new rumors are suggesting that it may get unleashed in the next quarter of 2016. Speculations are rife that it will be arriving with the best features from its 2015 flagships like LG V10 and LG G4.

One of the USPs of the LG V10 flagship smartphone is that it comes with a secondary ticker screen for checking notifications and accessing frequently used apps. According to Venture Beat, the LG G5 rumors indicate that the smartphone will be arriving with a 5.3-inch main display. It will support Quad HD resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.

Like the LG V10, a secondary ticker screen will be present above the main display of LG G5. It will offer a resolution of 160 x 1040 pixels.

Like most flagships of the coming year, the LG G5 is expected to fueled by the Snapdragon 820 chipset that will feature a quad-core processor and Adreno 530 graphics. The chipset will be accompanied by 3 GB of RAM. It will be available in a single storage variant of 32 GB. It is not sure whether an expandable storage slot will be available on the LG G4 successor.

The LG G5 will be housing two camera lenses on its rear panel out of which the main camera will be of 16-megapixel. Both the cameras together will allow users to shoot photos and videos at 135 degrees.

The LG G4 is powered by a mammoth battery of 3,400 mAh. However, the LG G5 will be coming with a comparatively smaller battery of 2,800 mAh capacity.
