New leak sheds light on the design of the LG G3

So far most of the LG G3 leaks have been focused on the specs, but now we're getting word on how the phone might look.

LG G3 leak

The latest leak comes from an unnamed source who spoke to the Bulgarian blog Nixanbal and claimed that the LG G3 will have a polycarbonate matte back, but that the look will be similar to the brushed metal of the HTC One (M8).

Speaking of the back cover, it's apparently removable, which could mean a microSD card slot and battery swapping potential.

Slim fit


The source went on to say that the buttons will once again be on the back, but that they'll be smaller than they were on the LG G2 and that the power button will have an LED in it.

The camera is said to be positioned just above those buttons, with a dual-LED flash to its right and another sensor, thought to be infra-red, to the left. Apparently the camera will have a 13 megapixel resolution, just like the LG G2, which matches other recent rumours.

It's yet again tipped to have a Quad HD 5.5 inch display, but apparently the bezels will be very small, such that the LG G3 is only around the size of the Samsung Galaxy S5, despite having a bigger screen.

Nixanbal handily created a mock-up based on this new information, which can be seen above, though as with all such rumours it should be taken with a pinch of salt for now.
