This is the most innovative step taken by LG. It’ll definitely be a worthy one this year.
Something new…in market…of course vl be above 50k bracket but unique feature hope to well
Battery capacity and design of its rear is underwhelming.

This is not a practical phone. Who has the time and space to carry extra hardware in this age.
google’s project “Ara” also tried to do similar thing but failed. hope we will see better things in future like upgradable processor,Ram and GPU etc.
