The LG UX 5.0 includes an LG Friends Manager app which the company says is the highlight of the new UI. It lets you easily connect your G5 to its Friends (accessories or modules) – not only it detects the accessories, it downloads and installs all the required apps from the Google Play Store as well.
The new UI also includes enhanced support for G5’s camera, bringing features such as pinch-based zooming, Auto Shot – enhanced Gesture Shot for selfies, and Multi View – the ability to capture different angles of images at the same moment using the front and rear cameras of the G5 and the LG 360 CAM.
There are also other features like upgraded LG Health, Always on, Smart Doctor, World Clock, File Manager, Quick Help, LG Backup, and Diverse Security Method for fingerprint recognition.
