It was earlier reported by Korean media that LG is likely to reveal its speculated G6 device a month earlier at MWC 2017. The same report even claimed that the reason behind LG’s decision to launch the G6 a month earlier is because it hopes to boost sales of the product. “Although G5 was introduced in February at MWC, it was initially scheduled to be released in April.” said a representative who knows situations of LG Electronics well. “It seems that LG Electronics has pushed forward the release date of G6 after believing that release dates of its products are late compared to its competitors’ products.”
It appears like it didn’t take long for leaksters to reveal the upcoming smartphone. The first render and sketches of the G6 have been leaked online, courtesy to Android Authority.
“LG is not waiting for the Galaxy S8. LG G6 is on the way and it seems like it is going to have a similar design like the G5. Another detail that might be interesting: G5 thickness has bottom 7.6, and upper side 8.4. The G6 is going to have bottom wider and upper part slimmer a bit,” user Shai Mizrachi posted online along with the pictures.
What to expect
According to the information leaked online, the LG G6 smartphone will feature a dual-camera set-up and a fingerprint sensor positioned on the back side under the main camera. The device is expected to measure 149.4 x 72.43 mm, however, no details regarding the thickness of the smartphone has been revealed yet. Rumour has it that the smartphone may feature a 5.2 to 5.5-inch display with Quad HD (2560x1440 pixels) support.
