Hasta La Gadget!

Come 27th of May, LG is expected to announce their next flagship smartphone, the LG G3. LG has not really been coy about the handset, and it was recently that they uploaded a teaser video to tease us about its impending announcement. However in the meantime, @evleaks has managed to get a leaked render of the upcoming handset.

As you can see in the image above, the LG G3 is expected to make its way onto Verizon’s network, at least based on what we can see from the carrier logos plastered across the handset. As it stands we’re not sure which carriers the LG G3 will be making its way on, but we can only assume that it should at least make its way onto all the four major carriers – AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint.

As a quick recap for those who might have missed the news, the LG G3 is said to pack a 5.5-inch display with a QHD display, giving phones like the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 a run for its money (at least until the Galaxy S5 Prime). It also appears to sport some kind of brushed metallic look, lending a more premium feel to the device, especially for those who might not appreciate plastic as much.

Availability has not yet been mentioned either, but presumably LG will have more details to share with everyone else come 27th May, so do check back with us then for the details. In the meantime, who else is excited for the LG G3?

LG G3 For Verizon Press Render Leaked

LG is yet to unveil its 2014 flagship smartphone. The LG G3 is expected to be far better than its predecessor. We exclusively confirmed first that it is going to have a 2K display, the company corroborated the report a little later. Now what about the things you’ll actually seen on that display everyday? Purported LG G3 homescreen screenshots have leaked online which hint at a fresh new user interface as well as a new “concierge” service.

The screenshots show a much cleaner and flatter user interface, a revamped notification drawer with circular icons and a revamped weather widget. Digitaltrends, which claims to have received these screenshots from a “trusted industry source,” says that the screens originally had a 2,560×1,440 pixel resolution, yet another confirmation of the fact that the G3 is going to have a 2K display. LG will be the first major manufacturer to adopt this display technology.

Underneath the weather and time widget you can see that the G3 advises the user to take an umbrella as rain is expected. Sources claim that its a part of LG’s new “concierge” service which will debut with the G3, though apparently the name of this service hasn’t been finalized as yet. It will essentially be LG’s own take on Google Now but the scribe hears concierge will “go beyond Google’s system.”

Essentially the service’s focus would be to learn the user’s habits in order to deliver better suggestions. The service wouldn’t be groundbreaking in any aspect but it would certainly be a welcome addition on LG’s next flagship. Rumor has it that the LG G3 is scheduled for release this July.

Assuming the rumors about the LG G3 are true, we sort of know what the phone could look like along with some of its hardware features. However given that most high-end Android smartphones tend to pack similar hardware, one of the ways that OEMs can help differentiate their products from the competition is to offer up new features in terms of software.

Well thanks to an alleged LG-LS990 user agent profile, some of the LG G3’s software features have been revealed. Now the LS990 is not a confirmation that this is the LG G3, but many believe that this could be Sprint’s version of the LG G3 given the model number. Based on this, there is also a chance that the software features listed could be carrier-specific, but we guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, a handful of apps have surfaced such as QMemo+, QVoice+, EasyHome, Enterprise Suite, and SmartShare Cloud. These are apps that LG users should be familiar with but there are some new apps that we haven’t heard before, like the Concierge-Board, Favorite Contacts, Tangible Reality IO, and G-Board.

We can’t say with certainty as to what sort of apps they are although Tangible Reality sounds like it could be pretty interesting. Other apps that appeared includes PayPal and McAfee Mobile Security. With the rumors that the LG G3 could feature a fingerprint scanner, it is possible that LG could be shooting for a similar feature that Samsung offered on the Galaxy S5. Take it with a grain of salt for now but do check back with us a later date to see if there are any additional details that can be had.
