Hasta La Gadget!

LG has teased the Optimus G’s successor for awhile, but we’ve seen precious little of the phone’s design. We may have just received a better peek: a tipster has sent @evleaks some images that appear to come from a promo video for the flagship device. While the snapshots are clearly victims of Mr. Blurrycam, they’re detailed enough to suggest a big break from last year’s model. They show both a previously seen buttonless front as well as an extremely slim profile that moves the volume controls to the back. There’s also no mention of the Optimus badge — all the on-screen graphics simply refer to the phone as the “G2.” None of the images are verifiable, so there’s no guarantee that they reflect the real thing. If we happen to see something similar-looking on August 7th, however, it won’t come as a surprise.

Here’s an image purporting to be of the Galaxy Note 2’s bezel, and if it’s a fake, it’s a very good one. Taken by a (sharper-than-usual) blurrycam snapper wearing factory-style dust booties, the hardware suggests a chunky, squared-off design for the second-generation phablet that rejects the Galaxy S III’s more curvaceous body. The ruler draped from corner-to-corner jibes with earlier rumors that it would have a slightly expanded 5.5-inch canvas for your S-Pen fun. We just have one question: does that photo make it look curved along the horizontal axis, or is the loose component just bendy?

Well, look who decided to make a sudden appearance yet again. Not long after receiving a quick, unexpected visit from the legendary (and very crafty) Mr. Blurrycam, the purported Sprint-bound LG LS860 has decided it was time for another showing. This time around, though, the Cayenne’s a little more revealing than during its previous exhibition, flaunting its powered-on 4-inch, WVGA screen and what appears to be a flavor of Android 4.0 running on the background — this would allegedly be paired alongside a dual-core, 1.2GHz S4 CPU, which is a slight change from what we’d previously heard. As far as whether or not LG’s Cayenne will be involved in the next wave of LTE-enabled slabs headed to The Now Network — for that, our friends, we’ll have to wait to find out.
