14 DAY TRIAL // LG has already scheduled a press event on February 26 to announce the upcoming flagship G6, during the Mobile World Congress 2017, the year’s biggest tech event. There are many reports with leaked images of the new phones and the latest show some design details.
The report from Android Pure shows the LG G6 in Ringke bumper covers, confirming previous leaked images that revealed a brushed metal rear for the upcoming flagship. Take the latest images with a grain of salt, as nothing is for sure until the smartphone is actually announced.
Presuming that the pictures are accurate, the upcoming LG G6 won’t have any physical buttons in the front and the rear dual-camera setup will feature a flash module. LG decided to place the fingerprint sensor on the back of the smartphone, right under the two camera sensors. The LG G6 branding is also located on the back, near the bottom of the rear cover.
Google Assistant integration and Android 7.0 Nougat
The power button and volume rocker seem to be placed on the left side, while the right side houses the SIM slot. Antenna lines and the 3.5mm headphone jack are visible at the top of the device, while the USB Type-C port is featured on the bottom and the case has a cover for protecting the opening.
The G6 is expected to come with IP67 or even IP68 certification, meaning that it’s sealed off from water and dust, thus protecting components inside the phone. This leak reveals that LG might make the smartphone available in silver and black colors, which isn’t surprising considering that they’re the two most popular colors for a phone.
The G6 is said to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 chipset and a 5.7-inch display with 2,880 x 1,440 pixel resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. Moreover, it will run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and there’s talk of Google Assistant integration.
