G3 design leaks taken from @evleaks rendering the LG isai FL are thought to be the LG G3 design to be sold in Japan later this year.

The 2013 edition of the LG G2 exposed LG fans to many new designs including a minimalist bezel and volume controls mounted in the rear. The most recent LG G3 leaks suggest the next model will benefit from a 5.5-inch polycarbonate body finished with a brushed metal effect.

Nixanbal, s Bulgarian tech blog reported speaking with sources close to the story saying the LG G3 will target a premium HTC One M8 style finish with less expensive materials.

The reports said the sources close to the story suggested that the G3’s polycarbonate rear can be taken off; this works out well for those want more more storage because the storage would be removable; this would mean that SD card expansion is doable.

LG G3 specs tipped by the latest reports include a 13-megapixel camera, which is exactly what its predecessor the G2 had, and a reworking of the company’s rear-mounted controls, sporting smaller buttons adding an LED notification light within the centralised power button.

The LG G2 having only gone on sale in the UK last October, the LG G3 has been repeatedly tipped to make an appearance by the middle of the Summer.

Earlier today claimed retail packaging for the upcoming phone leaked, hinting that a gold LG G3 offering is also in the works.

The LG G3 release date is on the horizon, but releasing a new flagship smartphone just in time to compete with both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and iPhone isn’t an easy task. However, reports suggest that is exactly what LG will be doing.

With the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 both recently released, many consumers are looking to buy phones with new features and one of those is the LG G3. Most of the details and specs for the G3 have not been released. but there are have been a number of rumors since December about the LG3.
