As the February 26 launch event of the LG G6 flagship draws nearer, we continually get inundated with multiple leaks about the device. The latest we are getting about the LG flagship are a set of images of the device thanks to case maker Ringke cases. The images give us ample view of the G6 captured from all direction.

The images are, no doubt, meant to promote the protective cases which Ringke will be supplying for the sleek device but they did tell a few stories about the G6. First, the renders look very much like those of the flagship earlier leaked, with the dual-lens rear camera and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor standing out. As earlier revealed, the LG G6 will have a clean front without any physical button to distort the smooth feel.

The LG G6 will likely have a clean front with no physical buttons and a large, 5.7-inch display with extra slim bezels. Another feature which is on display is the USB Type-C port at the bottom and then instead of yanking off the 3.5mm jack, LG retained it at the top edge of the smartphone. The volume rockers and power button are also visible on the left side of the phone.

In a related development, an LG smartphone recently popped up on benchmarking website Geekbench, only identified by the model number  LGE LG-H871. The device is thought in some quarters to be the LG G6 but curiously, it packs a Snapdragon 820 chip listed as MSM 8996, along with 4GB of RAM.

Although we can’t be certain this is the G6, there had been rumors in the past that the LG flagship uses a Snapdragon 820. Perhaps, it could be for one of its variants which recently appeared in an LG trademark filing as G6 Lite, G6 Compact et al. The G6 itself is also touted to feature a Snapdragon 821 chip and to have two versions with 4GB and 6GB RAM respectively. We can say for sure, tough, if the device is the G6 but all will unravel at MWC 2017 in Barcelone. Once again, February 26 is the date.

While the Chinese smartphone market is on holidays, LG is obviously one of the beneficiaries of the huge media attention that has been diverted from China this week. The upcoming LG G6 flagship has courted lots of media attention and that seems not to be on the verge of abating. We keep getting more leaks and the latest happens to be the real live photo of the G6. Yeah, finally we get to see what the flagship phone looks like in real life.

The leaked live shot of the flagship shows only the rear view of the flagship but it looks stunning all the same. The render shows that the G6 will indeed sport a horizontally aligned dual-lens rear camera setup with the dual-tone LED flash sitting in between both lenses.  There is also a fingerprint sensor located at the rear, just under the rear camera. Another prominent feature on display is the glossy looking body the device packs. The metal body frame is said to be covered with glass and it indeed looks premium. Finally, just at the bottom part of the rear, the model name G6 is engraved on the all-black body.

Looks like we are not going to see only the LG G6 when the Korean giant chooses to take the wraps off the flagship on February 26. A recent trademark filing by LG has revealed that the LG G6 might actually get a couple of other variants that might not be as studded, specs-wise, like the G6 itself.

The LG trademark filing included names such as G6 Compact, G6 Lite, G6 Sense, G6 Young, G6 Fit, G6 Forte, G6 Prix and G6 Hybrid. Well, the company might not launch devices bearing all the names trademarked but one or two of the trademarks will likely find their way in as actual gadgets. The most likely are the G6 Compact and G6 Lite. While the G6 Compact may come with perhaps a smaller screen size, the G6 Lite may keep the same screen size as the 5.7 inches the G6 is rumored to sport, but with a slightly inferior specs lineup. Both may be unveiled together with the G6 or at a later date.

This isn’t the first LG flagship that would have more than one versions, so the news doesn’t sound plausible. The LG G5 launched with a G5 SE version, the G3 S came as a mini version of the G3, as well as a G Pro Lite for the first gen LG Optimus G Pro.

The media is reverberating presently with news concerning the two major smartphone makers in Korea, taking about LG and Samsung. LG is expected to launch its next-gen flagship LG G6 on February 26 and we have been fed daily with leaks concerning the flagship.

The rumor mill is agog once again with news that the LG G6 would launch with a higher price tag than its predecessor. The increment is said to be to the tune of between $40 – $50 and the reason for this is said to be tied to the new features the G6 brings along with it. One of the rumored inclusion is an IP 68 certification which allows the G6 to be able to withstand submersion in water of 5 feet depth for up to 30 minutes. The G6 is also rumored to come with a premium glass chassis with a sealed battery compartment. Don’t forget also that the G6 is touted as packing a battery that just won’t explode even under heat.

A group of three photos said to be those of LG‘s expected G6 flagship have appeared online gifting us a more detailed view of the device. The prototype photos capture the LG G6 from three different angles, one showing the front view, another the rear view, and yet a third which shows the bottom edge where the USB ports and speaker grills are situated.

It is quite apt that the leaked prototype looks very much similar to the earlier leaked images of the G6, just that the LG G6 prototype is not yet in the finished state. Despite the unfinished state, we still get to see the device in its true outlook, especially the ultra-slim bezels around the screen. The screen isn’t a curved one but the device features a high screen-to-body ratio. There is no front home button, instead, the LG logo sits under the display and it may perform some virtual button functions.

The back view reveals, even more, details of the LG G6 flagship, showing the horizontally aligned dual rear cameras on the device. The dual lenses are separated from each other by the LED flash which sits at the middle in a spectacular design. The fingerprint sensor is also clearly visible at the rear, lying just under the cameras.

The third and final leaked prototype photos captures the device from the bottom edge revealing the presence of a USB Type-C port as well as an opening for the mouthpiece and speaker grills. February 26 is the set date for the G6’s release and hopefully, before then, more leaks would surface.

Another render of LG‘s next generation flagship, the LG G6 has again appeared, originating from South Korea. The renders is no different from the first one which leaked earlier on, just that the device is captured from a different angle on this one. Specifically, the device is shot from the side on this render which happens to be the second photo of the G6 we are getting but it isn’t much different from the first one.

The LG G6 comes with a design which is markedly different from all what LG had done in the past. The device in question comes in silver with a blue color scheme around the display. There is a SIM card slot at the right side and the fused antenna band lines are also visible. The G6 will feature an all-metal body and is said to have a near bezel-less display with a screen to bezel ratio of up to 90%. Since the SIM slot sits at the right, the volume rocker will likely be at the left side.

In addition the design shows the device with well chamfered edges and there are words that the G6 would be water resistant. It is said to come as a 5.7-inch device which would cram a Snapdragon 835 chip inside. There are also rumors of a lower Snapdragon 821 chip onboard and this seems to have been corroborated by Forbes in a new report. The LG G6 is expected to be launched on February 26 at MWC 2017 and when that happens we’ll get the true picture.

LG is expected to launch its next-generation LG G6 flagship at the Mobile World Congress next month. Already, the Korean company has sent out invitations to a launch event holding on February 26. Ahead of the official unveiling, a real live render purported to be that of LG G6 has been spotted online and it reveals a device with a top-notch design. It looks sleeker than the one leaked earlier by a case manufacturer.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix premiered a new era of smartphones with an exceptional screen to body ratio and recently Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun hinted that the competition this year would be in the aspect of displays. Seems like we’ll really be seeing a fierce competition in that aspect because the LG G6 features a design with minimal bezels around the sides. Recall that Samsung is rumored to be towing on the same line with its Galaxy S8. The screen to bezel ratio on the G6 is said to be more than 90%.

The LG G6 flagship is also expected with an all-metal body as well as a 5.7-inch display with 2:1 aspect ratio. Only the front of the device is shown and it is markedly noticed to be without a front screen button. That is an indication that the device might use onscreen buttons. The volume rockers are located on the left side of the device and it can be noticed that the G6 will use the fused antenna band design.

Earlier rumors had tipped the G6 as coming with a headphone jack and would be water resistant. The device was also said to be powered by a Snapdragon 835 chipset but a recent rumor appeared on Weibo suggesting that the G6 (later confirmed by Forbes in a new report) would be powered by a Snapdragon 821 chipset. We are not sure about the authenticity of the source but if it turns out to be true, LG would leave a large number of its fans disappointed.

LG has revealed that it put safety as a priority while developing the flaship G6 which will hit the market any moment from now. According to the Korea Herald, the company has been imlementing new technology and performing tests that would eventually improve the safety and quality of the G6.

The company had earlier confirmed that it has employed heat pipes made up of copper that can dissipate the internal heat inside its smartphones. It is the same technology that is used in the batteries of PCs and notebooks that decreases the internal temperature by 6 to 10 percent. Moreover, LG has been designed the G6 in such a way that the internal components that heat up remain as far apart as possible to prevent the concentration of heat at one place.

The Korean company did take things a bit further by conducting battery-heat-exposure tests with the device being subjected to temperatures up to 15% higher than the standardized temperature set by the US and Europe. The battery is also said to undergo tests like piercing with a sharp nail, and having heavy objects dropped on it from a high altitude. They also aim to subject the device to a new life-endurance test like repeated drops, and exposure to extreme power voltages, all in a bid to ensure the G6’s battery is very safe. Such tests could also reveal any defects on the smartphone and that would be nipped in the bud before the device is unveiled.
