LG outs TV ad for the G5, confirms April 1 release date

LG has uploaded the first TV ad for the G5 to its official YouTube channel. The ad is clearly meant to be just the first of many, which is obvious both from its content but also from its 15-second run time. It's more of a teaser of what's to come from the Korean company's TV ad campaign in the near future, if you will.

The commercial does however helpfully confirm the phone's April 1 release date for the US once more. So you'll be able to walk into a store and leave with an LG G5 starting next Friday, it turns out.

The slogan for the G5 is an extension of the one that's been used for the LG brand for years - "Life's good when you play more".

The LG G5 has a 5.3-inch QHD touchscreen, a dual camera arrangement on the back (16 MP + 8 MP), an 8 MP selfie snapper, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 running things, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, and a 2,800 mAh removable battery. The software on board is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
