LG G3 Spotted in Purported Press Renders Ahead of May 27 Launch

It's no secret now that LG is all set to unveil its latest flagship, the LG G3, on May 27. On Tuesday, LG had teased the official trailer and now the smartphone has made an appearance in a leaked press render.

The tech blog Phonarena on Wednesday has posted five alleged press renders of the LG G3, showcasing the brush metal finish and three colours - Black, White, and Gold. The images are pretty clear and sharp, and we can clearly see the purported design of the smartphone in its full glory.

Earlier, LG had teased the G3 with a video, confirming the brush metal finish on the device, although it's yet to be seen whether LG has actually put in metal or is using well-finished polycarbonate. The teaser video featured the tagline 'Simple is the New Smart,' and showed the G3 smartphone partially without revealing the overall design.

The LG G3 has a 5.5-inch QHD AH-IPS LCD display with minimal bezels as earlier confirmed by LG. The back has a rear button interface, with has similar but circular power button instead, which could also be the rumoured fingerprint sensor. Other than that, the rear button interface includes two volume keys, and the camera is accompanied by a dual-LED flash on top.

The camera is rumoured to be a 13-megapixel Sony IMX 214 Exmor RS sensor, with added optical image stabilization OIS +.

Other rumoured specifications of the LG G3 are Snapdragon 805 SoC, with 16GB of inbuilt storage and 2GB of RAM, and the second with 32GB inbuilt storage and 3GB of RAM. Both variants will reportedly support storage expandability with microSD card support.

The event is scheduled by LG on May 27 - London, New York, and San Francisco; followed by a May 28 launch event in Singapore, Istanbul, and Seoul.
