This is the LG CAM Plus module. It's designed to make the phone easier to handle while taking photos, and also houses an extra 1,200 mAh battery. The sides of the module also have extra controls for the camera: there's a circular zoom jog for precise zooming, a 2-step shutter key, and a separate button for video recording.
