In February this year, LG announced its flagship smartphone - the LG G5. The company also revealed a number of companion accessories called LG Friends for the handset, and now LG has launched a dedicated website for these accessories to help customers easily find and purchase them.

LG fans in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and South Korea can visit the new LG Friends website and directly purchase one of the six available accessories: Cam Plus, Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play, 360 VR, 360 CAM, Rolling Bot and LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100.

Customers can go to the new website and click on the LG G5 accessory they want to purchase. After clicking on a specific accessory, customers will be taken to a webpage dedicated to that product. Customers will also notice a "Buy Now" section, which includes the flags of the United States, UK, South Korea and UAE. Customers have to click on one of the flags to find the availability of the product in that country.

The LG 360 VR is one of the companion devices of the LG G5, and is a virtual reality (VR) headset that can be coupled with an LG G5 to view VR content. The VR headset weighs 118 grams, or about 4.16 ounces, which is quite light when compared to many other VR headsets sold in the market.

"A casual device that incorporates Virtual Reality technology to enjoy VR content anytime, anywhere. When playing VR content using LG 360 VR, turn your head in the direction you want to see, just as if you're inside the scene," says LG Friends.

According to the LG Friends website, the LG 360 VR is available in the United States at T-Mobile and customers can preorder the headset at B&H. The website suggests that customers in the UK can find the accessory in LaptopOutlet.co.uk.

The dedicated webpage of an accessory will not show the name and flag of a country if the product is not available there. For instance, the webpage of the LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play, an audio player for the LG G5, does not show the U.S. flag in the "Buy Now" section as the item is not available in the United States.

However, LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play is available in the UK, UAE and South Korea and the product's webpage shows the flags of these countries in the "Buy Now" section.

LG suggests that more accessories for the LG G5 will be added to the LG Friends website in the near term.
