Is this our first look at the LG G4?
Talk about the LG G4 at AndroidForums.com!
Every company falls victim to a leak or two ahead of their flagship devices’ official unveiling, and LG is no different. The LG G4 has escaped our grasps for far too long, but we might have just gotten our first look at the thing.
Surprise, surprise: it looks like almost every LG flagship device we’ve seen the past couple of years, rear button placement and all. The leak was provided by @onleaks, which is manned by one of the editors from credible French technology blog NowhereElse.Fr.
We’d say that’s pretty good reason to believe this leak will hold up, but if the HTC One M9 debacle taught us anything it’s that no one truly knows anything until the official goods are delivered. It’s also worth noting that the leakster stressed that this was a “non-final” render, so there is certainly a chance for some details to change.
There isn’t much to be known about the LG G4 right now, but it’ll supposedly sport dimensions of 148.9 x 76.5 x 9.9mm — that’s about 5.8 inches tall and 2.9 inches wide — and will undoubtedly come with a top-line Snapdragon 810 chipset. The device’s size indicates LG’s going with a display size somewhere between 5.2 and 5.5 inches. There are also murmurings that LG is thinking about embedding a fingerprint scanner in the rear home button.
With LG looking to a Spring announcement and a possible summer launch we’ll only hear more about the LG G4 from here on out. There’s no doubt in our minds it’ll live up to the eventual hype, but it’s up to LG to make a phone worthy of achieving that goal.
