LG G5 Magic Slot: Leak Shows Game-Changing Innovation (PHOTO)

Along with Samsung, LG is expected to headline this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which takes place from Feb. 22 to 25. The Korean tech company will unveil its flagship G5, which recent leaks show will come with a very interesting new feature: a Magic Slot.

The intriguing slot is now being considered an innovation since it introduces modular parts that recall Google's own Project Ara. While the G5 will not feature a completely modular handset, the image reveals that the G5's owner can swap components through the Magic Slot located at the bottom of the device.

To demonstrate this clearly, take a look at the photo below. While it did not capture the actual accessory, it shows its box that has a photo of a battery module. This can be swapped with a camera attachment dubbed the LG Cam Plus. Another rumored module involves the LG Hi-Fi Plus for audiophiles, according to Android Authority. This particular audio module could be the outcome of LG's partnership with Bang & Olufsen, which was only announced Friday.
