Evan Blass created quite a stir among LG fans when he "revealed" certain details for the upcoming LG flagship. The man behind @evleaks on Tweeter declared that the LG G5 will sport a full metal body to match the premium feel offered by most of its rivals in the industry. According to him, the G5 will also have a secondary display with a resolution of 160×1040. The second panel, hailed as a "ticker" display will function in more or less the same way as it does on the LG V10. If Blass' sources are right, then the ticker display will become a typical LG signature for all its mid to high range smartphones in 2016.

There are other stipulations that were specified in the leak and we will get to them, but what intrigued us most was the"Magic slot." It seems that the LG G5 will feature a certain port that will enable the smartphone to connect with and detect both advanced gadgets like a 360 degree Virtual reality camera as well as basic hardware devices like a keyboard. If you are wondering whether it also has micro SD card expansion capabilities to complement the magic slot, you will have to keep wondering for a while longer as it was not mentioned.

Other leaked specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 3GB RAM and at least 32GB of in-built storage under the hood. On the camera front, the 16 megapixel shooter with laser autofocus and RGB sensor will probably be the same one seen in the LG V10. The G5 will supposedly have a fingerprint scanner on the back rather than being embedded in the Home button. All of this will be powered by a removable 2800mAh battery, which is surprising after considering that the G4 has a 3000mAh battery. Although the slightly smaller 5.3 inch Quad HD display will probably consume less power as well.

Before you start taking these speculations too seriously, take our advice and refrain from believing too much into the "leak." While some of the features mentioned will surely make their way into the final version, the rest may not.

Poland leads the way for LG G3 smartphones around the world as it is the first country to officially get the much awaited Android Marshmallow update for the G3. According to our reports, the update started to roll out for unlocked LG G3s in Poland on the 30th of December and is thought by many to be more of a soak test.

Interestingly enough, it is not an over the air update like most updates are nowadays. It can only be installed by connecting the smartphone with a PC via LG PC suit and we are not sure if or when an OTA update would be available. Although the aged LG G3 will not be able to take advantage of certain unique Marshmallow features like better support for USB Type-C ports and finger print scanners, reports indicate a much faster and smoother user experience after the update.

The news was anticipated by smartphone enthusiasts because the LG G4 had also received its Android 6.0 updates in Poland first. If LG follows the same trend as it did with the G4, then South Korea is next in line. The good news is the fact that irrespective of the country that you live in, your G3 will get updated to Marshmallow as well. The date on which it will arrive however, is difficult to predict.

LG first rolled out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to the customers in Poland and South Korea. Now, they are getting ready to roll out the same update to the customers across Europe.

The size of the update is 1.55GB and is now available through the LG Bridge PC software. Till now the update has been released in Germany for H815 devices, but it is expected that the update is soon going to be available in couple of other regions as well. As per an alleged list of devices that are part of the update, the upgrade will be pushed out in Portugal, Poland, Romania, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Croatia, Hungary, and Switzerland.

But, the update is only being pushed to the LG G4 LH815 variant, so you if you own a model different than the G4 series you will get the update later on. This update will optimize battery, give you an updated Knock Code, app permissions, Direct Share, Silent Mode sound profile, auto-brightness change and Allow Peeking added to Settings, and more. Few apps have been renamed, like QMemo+ in the notification panel will be Capture+. Check out the official list of changes from the official link given below:
