LG V30 back cover poses for the camera on Note 8 announcement day

Only a few days separate us from the official premiere of LG's high-end phablet - the V30. As usual, more and more information has leaked out as the August 31 announcement date draws closer, and today, some pretty intriguing images emerged online.

Reliable tipster Roland Quandt shared a quartet of photos showing the rear cover of the V30, merely a few hours before the unveiling of one of its chief big-screen rivals - the Samsung Galaxy Note 8:

Quandt's best guess is that the color of the back plate is the silvery Ice Platinum, but it's also possible that the hue is actually Marine Blue. Both of these color options are available on the LG G6, so we'll let you decide on that one.

It's also interesting to note that these real-life photos of the phone's back are in line with the renders released by Evan Blass about a week ago, which gives them even more credibility.
