LG G6 Could Come With Glass Back For Wireless Charging, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 835, 128GB Internal

According to a report coming out of South Korea, LG’s upcoming flagship may have a curved all-glass back with wireless charging in tow. The LG G6 is definitely one of the most anticipated flagships of 2017, and we’ve seen a number of LG G6 rumors / leaks thus far, including the rumor we’ll talk about today.

A new LG G6 rumor just surfaced, and if this info is to be believed, the LG G6 might actually surprise us when it comes to its design. The source claims that the LG G6 will sport a glass back, and something called a ‘2.5D’ display up front. Now, do keep in mind this is not a 2.5D curved glass on top of a display, but a 2.5D display, which is the first time we’re hearing about something like this.

LG G6 is going to be an high-end smartphone, The smartphone is expected to come with a 5.3inch display with the resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixel and will have a completely flat screen. Moreover, it will be powered by Snapdragon 835 chipset along with 6GB of RAM. The phone will be available in two variants 64GB and 128GB internal storage.

The 2.5D display isn’t something earth-shattering though, nor confusing, this is only LG’s name for a bezel-less panel. If the rumor is true, the LG G6 will sport no bezel on the sides, and this display is also slightly curved on the sides, which is probably why LG used the ‘2.5D’ naming here. The source does not mention the phone’s top and bottom bezels, but we’re guessing the device will sport some bezels both on the top and bottom.

Now, in addition to all this, the LG G6 is rumored to sport wireless charging and also water resistance, which was to be expected, mainly because competing flagships have both of these features, well, at least the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge do. The LG G6 will sport a 5.3-inch display, which means it will be identical to the one LG used when they designed the LG G5, but considering the fact that the LG G6 will sport no bezels on the sides, this probably means that the device will be noticeably smaller than the LG G5.

The LG G6 might feature dual-camera setup on the back, which is said to incorporate dual-tone flash. The renders also reveal the dimension of the device, which is 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.2mm. The phone will be waterproof and will come up with a non-removable battery. LG G6 is also expected to come with an IRIS scanner.

With Samsung employing glass in more and more devices – even midrange phones – and LG and Apple rumored to be releasing glass smartphones, it looks like glass might be the material to use in 2017.
