LG to unveil the LG G4 on April 28th

LG's next flagship device, the LG G4, will be unveiled at a media event on April 28th. The manufacturer has started sending out invitations for the event telling recipients to "Save the Date". On the front of the invites, LG says to See The Great, Feel The Great. The event will be held in New York, London, Paris, Seoul, Singapore and Instanbul. Because of the time difference, it will actually be April 29th in the latter three countries when the event starts.

Rumored specs for the LG G4 have been all over the map this year. Part of that is due to the premium phablet that LG is rumored to be launching in the second half of the year. The LG G4 Note is expected to feature an LG G Pen stylus similar to the S Pen that comes with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. If the speculation turns out to be legit, LG plans on going right after the Samsung Galaxy Note series with its own top-shelf phablet. We can expect LG to continue using a plastic build for the LG G4, although the G4 Note is rumored to feature a premium metal design.

Also remaining on the LG G4 is the 1440 x 2560 QHD display it introduced last year with the LG G3. One change can be found under the hood where the Snapdragon 808 chipset will be found. As we pointed out to you earlier today, this is a 64-bit hexa-core CPU with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores and two ARM Cortex-A57 cores. The Adreno 418 GPU handles graphics.

Earlier this year, LG refuted the gossip about the overheating Snapdragon 810, but perhaps there is another reason why LG is turning to the Snapdragon 808 for the LG G4. The Snapdragon 810 is probably reserved for LG's next flagship phone and that appears to be the LG G4 Note.

While you can't tell the players without a scorecard, you can be sure of one thing. Whatever questions you might have pertaining to LG's high-end models this year, they will be answered on April 28th.
