The G5 will have a 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB internal memory options.
To keep the device running, the LG G5 will have a massive 4,000 mAh battery; perfect for that rumored 4K display screen as this type of screens consumes more juice out of the device.

Another additional feature that LG placed in the G5 is its iris scanner, located at the front camera. It can be used a biometric security feature. The price point for the LG G5 is going to be around $900, pretty steep considering the fact that it is in the same price range as its major competitors like Apple, and Samsung.
