LG unveils smart cover for the new phone that doesn't yet exist

LG's latest flagship phone, the G5 won't be revealed until February 21, however, the company isn't letting that get in the way of showing off its accessories.

The LG Quick Cover has a semi-transparent mesh front that protects the handset's display. However, it still allows the user to view important information, such as time and date via a window and, impressively, to take or drop calls just by touching the cover.

"The latest LG Quick Cover offers the advantages of previous Quick Covers but with even more features. The touch function, recently introduced on the K10's Quick Cover View, is now available on the G5 Quick Cover's semitransparent mesh cover. It enables users to take calls and control alarm settings without opening the case for the ultimate in convenience," said LG.

LG hasn't revealed much about what to expect from its latest phone other than it will have an "always on" display. We'll have to wait until its official press conference at the Mobile World Congress to find out more.

The Quick Cover for LG G5 will be on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 22-25.
