LG reconfirms plans to release a new high-end smartphone in the second half of 2015

I wish they'd do a Nexus 5/LG G2 refresh. That or a decent G4 compact instead of a watered down G4 mini.

G5! Come on! get a better CPU, refine the LCD, calibrate the colors, and keep the replaceable battery.

Hmm I loved the Optimus G, Nexus 4, and Nexus 5 so I am hoping that LG gets back on track with this new series. I guess this means that LG won't be doing a Nexus 5 2015 though since they have another flagship on the table.

A Huawei P8 with stock Android is pretty hard for LG to beat anyways so LG is probably better off letting them have it

Cool... LG, don't screw up and add metal to your phones for crying out loud.

Good move, i like the g4 but not enough to get one. Hoping this will be the pro 3 - powerhouse.

Between the g-flex series, the g series, the g pros...it's getting Samsung-complicated in the LG lineup. Personally found the G4 design (mainly the shape of the front) very uninspiring, a step backward almost.

Hoping the North American Xperia Z4 or related variant gets announced soon. Between SD 810 overheating, blah camera on HTC One M9, Samsung dropping SD cards, and LG G4's lackluster design, it's been a disappointing run for the flagship crop of 2015. Galaxy S6 Edge is pretty but I really want SD card this time around!

Incoming 6 month refresh cycle? Anyway, given that the SD810 is buggered for smartphones, we might see better SoCs before 2016 from the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony etc.

G Flex 3 anyone?

its gonna be pro series

Might go with metal and glass back. That'd be original! Oh wait...

All jokes aside, I'm sort of glad that they have a backup plan in case G4 underdelivers. I hope they push through with the Odin chipset they were making, or at least were trying to.

On my country, Indonesia, it costs $654, it's 3000mAh version, with dual sim lte (which usually costs $15 more), with free 64gb class10 premium microSD (worth $40), leather plastic case (cost $38 and $15 each), vr plasticboard (worth $20, available later), quadbeat 3 headphone (worth $15), additional 2900mAh battery external charger (worth $35, can charge 100% in an hour), free 2years google drive 100gb, usb OTG cable (worth $3), line (chat app) doll (they sell phone with free really big doll, worth $5), new curved gorilla glass 4 (yeah, not 3, available later) replacement for a year including user damage, and $153 cashback for those who preorder this month. Don't forget calibrated screen profile of DCI standard, which is worth more than $6000
While galaxy s6 costs more than $770, single sim, no headset, no case, no free glass replacement, no microsoft cloud memory, no VR, no online service (music, book, movie).
Is it fair to compare them side by side? :D it's cheaper than note4 in fact

I would like 14 nm chip with powerful graphic chip, min 3 GB DDR5, larger camera pixel size for night shots, UFS 2.0, at least 3800 mah battery, better voice recording, better ois, stereo speakers, useful finger print sensor. Are you reading this, LG?
If you build it, we will buy. I'd pay 800e for that phone.
