Audio Module For LG G5’s Magic Slot Works With Other Phones

The new Magic Slot organisation , found in the upcoming LG G5 , seems very slick in theory , but it ’s some grade - A proprietary dogshit . You require all the magic this slot is gon na slither into your mitt ? Then get quick to love the G5 and only the G5 . Forever .

So color me impressed that at least one accessory for your new favourite slot will work with other phones . The 32 - scrap DAC LG is offering in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen will give you significantly better audio quality than a traditional phone sound recording output . But that ’s provided you have great headphones and access to some high quality audio data file . ( Finally a use for Tidal ! ) As YouTuber TK Bay illustrate in a late video , it also shape with other phones with the service of a USB - C cable .

You should n’t of necessity grab the B&O DAC just to use with your non - G5 phone , but this is neat news for G5 user who desire to get the most out of their dongles .

However this is one important notation : this interconnectivity via USB - C seems to be fix to the DAC and its included blanket for right now . If you ’re hoping to make habit of theexpanded battery or camera dongleorrobot controlleryou are are likely s.o.l .

Also it ’s super clunky carrying around a little cylinder block , and a speech sound , and multiple cables , and phone . If I really require to heed to music that need a DAC I think I ’ll hold out for an update toV - Moda ’s sleek ( and expensive ) headphone DACinstead . At least that one latch onto the back of the phone so I ’m not go around with a long bowed stringed instrument of interconnected devices in my pouch .
