Leaked photos of an upcoming LG handset shows subtle changes, fans might see in what rumors claim is the next-gen G4.
Nearly a year after the South Korean electronics giant, LG unveiled its 5.5-inch G3 smartphone, leaked images highlight subtle changes fans might see in the next-gen G4.
PCMag noted that four photos posted on an XDA Developers forum tip the same flash placement, speaker and back-based power button. Android Central, however pointed out, the phone's top right corner apparently makes room for a stylus or probably an old fashioned antenna.
In one of the images, the baseband version refers to MSM8936 i.e. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 610, a mid-range part rare to feature in any flagship devices, Android Central noted. Also, contrary to the overhauled software design promised by LG's mobile boss, the phone is running the old LG UI 3.
Besides, the leaked images boast some pretty robust bezels, while LG's past two flagships have featured minimal horizontal borders.
Based on the above points, Android Central concluded that these leaked images are of an upcoming LG phone, however not the LG G4.
ModernReaders noted some other takeaways from the sighting as far as the G
s features are concerned. The camera as well as the power buttons is housed in a rather rectangular box than the G3, which boasted a more circular motif. Furthermore, it looks like the phone will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop. Boasting an easy-going theme for the icons, it features non-poppy colors for system apps and rounded toggles are still there.
Smartphone fans looking for something upscale can still pick up the LG G3, which sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, Quad HD IPS 2,560-by-1,440 display with 538 ppi.
According to ModernReaders, LG G4 is slated to launch towards the end of April.
It looks like fans will need to wait and watch until they hear from LG as this is a leak and as such, more rumors about the device can be expected to surface soon.
