The LG G5 impressed everyone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month with its modular design and add-on accessories called “Friends“. It’s been making waves and getting positive feedback and people are already anticipating for its arrival. We knew that the phone will come to Verizon and ATT and other mobile carriers this Spring and in Canada beginning April 8. A souped down version will also roll out in South America.
A new 15-second video commercial is up on YouTube entitled “Play Begins” showing a man inserting an extra battery module on his LG G5, smiling as he watches something on the screen while in the subway. It was a super short clip but we can say LG is telling us the smartphone will be perfect for “play”. By that we mean not just video playback but also for mobile gaming and virtual reality. LG said that play begins this April 1 and not mid-April.

The April 1 is very much close to the March 31 global launch we previously mentioned. Even US Cellular announced that it’s going to open pre-sale earlier on March 28 with the Friends following in April. AT&T is now taking pre-orders.
We don’t care much about the exact day now. We’re just glad that we could get our hands on one, hopefully, next week. The LG G5 is coming. Very soon.
