Mystery LG handset is back

The mystery LG handset returns

Remember that mystery LG handset we showed you last week? Serial leaker evleaks has come up with another photograph of the device, which still looks to be the LG Optimus G2. Since the original photo was released, LG has sent out invitations for a May 30th event that will take place in Macau. As the invite shows, the phone that will be announced will be pretty thin, even with a slight camera bump, and will have a more colorful screen.

Getting back to the new picture, the angle really shows off how thin the bezel will be on this model. Will this be the LG Optimus G2 or could it be a new LG designed Nexus phone? Remember, a pair of major U.K. retailers, Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U removed the Google Nexus 4 from their shelves as we told you on Thursday. And Google I/O is coming next Wednesday.

Don't scream! At least some of your questions will be answered as soon as next week.

Do you eat letters? Anyway if this looks like a GS4 you might as well say it looks like a lot of phones because the front of the phones nowadays always look similiar.

What's the problem of being a 14 year old? I said I gave you a simple acceptable answer. You want a more acceptable answer? Ok, let's start! This mystery LG handset looks alot better than S4 because of the reflective earpiece, slim bezels, LG logo on the bottom and the gorgeous design! Ok, that's all! So, what are you gonna say? Stop acting like an 8 year old, you keep calling me a 14 year old over and over non-stop! Stop it okay?

I actually cant see that one here in this new leak.. This new leak seems flat across the front panel like d gs4, while the first leak seems to have a curve edge like d gs3.. The first leak looks like d g pro and i still cant imagine this new leak coz it may have been covered by something plastic And if d first leak comes true then the side bezels are not that slimmer than gs4.

probably not a nexus phone. Doesn't seem to resemble the nexus 4. Looks like this will be the LG Optimus G2.

really hope its not a nexus phone because that means it most likely wont be on Verizon. Its bad enough that google may be releasing a 4glte model of the nexus 4 and putting out on those carriers that have that. 6 months after the device originally came out. This is a beautiful phone and may be the first LG smartphone i get :)

You mean Nexus 5 should resemble Nexus 4? I really hope not! An improved and fresh design for Nexus 5 is what we need right now and not another follow-up in the steps of the S3 -> S4 design DNA.

The Nexus 4 resembles the Galaxy Nexus (except the back). We should see something similar for the front but this doesn't seem to have a resemblance. I'm not saying the Nexus 5 should resemble Nexus 4. It just something that google wants to make it so. The nexus 5 will probably have a different back texture.

If this has a qualcom 800 I just might be interested. The less bezel the better for me too!
