LG V30 midframe leak tips a wireless charging coil, might mean a sealed battery

The LG V30 is coming down the pipe in all of its OLED glory, and an alleged spy shot of its midframe appears to indicate that a wireless charging coil will be present, too. Not that it comes as a huge surprise these days, considering that the competition is increasingly shipping with the cable-less charging technology, but it's nice to know LG will be on board as well.

The coil apparently won't be in the back panel, but rather built into the frame itself, which lends credence to the reports that the V30 will sport a sealed glass back to allow wireless charging to pass through. Unfortunately, it may also mean that a repeat of the replaceable battery scenario that was all the rage with the V20 may not be happening. This would certainly be a pity, as the V20 is one of the few flagships to still feature a replaceable battery, but let's wait and see if this latest leak will turn out to be credible in the end.
