After seeing the unannounced
LG G6 in various renders and
live photos, it looks like we can now take a peek at the new phone in an image pitting it against last year's
LG G5.
This new image - embedded above - seems to have originated on Weibo (China's most popular Twitter/Facebook-like platform), and shows a white variant of the G6 next to a silver/black G5.
While it sports a 5.7-inch display (vs. the 5.3-inch screen of the G5), the G6 is about as taller as its predecessor, and only a bit wider. That's because LG greatly minimized the bezel around new phone's display, which is called "
Full Vision." Another thing that's visible in the image is that the screen of the G6 has rounded corners - this was pretty much confirmed by LG itself when teasing the handset's
new interface.
Breaking away from the G5, the
LG G6 is not a modular phone, and has a flat rear (there's no camera bump whatsoever, as
recently revealed). Moreover, the new handset is dust- and
water-resistant, which can't be said about any previous global flagship from LG.
The LG G6 will be fully unveiled at the end of this week, on
February 26, during a
MWC 2017 press event. Stay tuned as we'll bring you more details about the device directly from MWC!
