And the rumors begins, LG is preparing to reveal its 2015 flagship which will be called "LG G4". Today, we got a glimpse of what it might look like, as an early Press render image leaked on twitter that showcases the back of the smartphone in what appears to be a gray color scheme.

As you can see above, LG G4 appears too look a lot like its predecessor, LG G3. A beefed up camera sensor is the biggest difference between the newcomer and the 2014 top dog. LG's power/lock key, volume rocker, laser focus, and dual-LED flash have remained intact. The same goes for the placement of the sole speaker on the back of the phone.

The render is reportedly an early one, so the final device might look a tad different when it launches. Purported measures of the LG G4 are 148.9 x 76.5 x 9.9mm.

LG Optimus G Pro is about two years old, but still LG updated the phone to the latest Android 5.0. Lollipop update. The update is now officially available in South Korea, LG's home country, so we hope that Optimus G Pro owners in other parts of the world will also get the new OS at some point.

At launch, the Optimus G Pro ran Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This is LG's last flagship handset to use the "Optimus" brand, while also being the company's first phablet to sport a 1080 x 1920 pixels display (measuring 5.5 inches).

The LG G4 was very much unlikely to be unveiled at the MWC a few weeks from now, and recent reports in Korean media leave no doubt about that. An LG insider is quoted saying that the successor to the QHD-packing G3 flagship has an April launch date on its road map.

The Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015) in Barcelona will be a battle for attention between hotly-anticipated top-end smartphones from Samsung and HTC, and LG aims to distance itself from all that clamor. An April release will let the dust settle after the high-profile launches and let the spotlight shine solely on the LG G4. The device will hit markets worldwide sometimes during June.
