LG has been very secretive about its upcoming flagship phone, the G4. Unfortunately, a series of leaked photos has recently surfaced on the Internet courtesy of Evan Blass, one of the Internet's most prolific leaker.
The leaked photos were taken from a microsite dedicated for the G4 and it contains official render of LG's newest smartphone. The microsite has already been taken offline but the images that were taken on it have already caught the attention of the mainstream media.
Based on the leaked photographs, one of the G4's variant sports a curved display that is reminiscent of the G Flex. The most interesting part is leather wrapping that covers the backside of the smartphone. Many tech analysts predicted this feature based on invitations given out by LG to various press outlets.
The LG G4 is 8.9mm thick, 75.3mm wide and 149.1mm tall, according to Hot Hardware.
Additional speculations stated that the LG G4 will run on the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system and will have a 5.5-inch Quad HD display with maximum resolution of 2560x1440. For its hardware specifications, the LG G4 is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip that runs up to 2.5GHz with 3GB of memory and 32GB internal storage.
The LG G4's rumored 16-megapixel camera will have laser autofocus with infrared color spectrum analyzer in order to produce a more accurate color reproduction, according to The Verge. The report added that the smartphone will have a fully replaceable 3,000 mAh battery along with a microSD slot for expandable storage option.
LG will officially unveil the G4 on a press conference on April 28.
