The weird painted metal of the LG G5 wasn’t exactly a hit, so it’s no surprise to hear that LG is changing the design for the LG G6, though it’s not clear exactly what the new phone will be made of.
Journalist David Ruddock tweeted that according to his sources it will have an “all-glass design language similar to Samsung”, though Samsung actually still uses a metal frame on its flagships. But Ruddock followed this up with a correction, stating that rather than an all-glass body, the LG G6 has “a highly reflective metallic material on the rear.”
So it sounds like the G6 could be made of metal then, but with a glass-like finish. That, however, is at odds with an earlier rumor, which claimed the G6 actually would have a tempered glass back.
Conflicting claims
And this isn’t the only claim that doesn’t line up with what we’ve heard before, as Ruddock also claims that the battery won’t be removable, while an earlier rumor suggested it would be.
Finally, he adds that the LG G6 will have a 3.5mm headphone port, which isn’t surprising, but is worth noting now that Apple and Motorola are moving away from them.
The end result of these new leaks is that if anything we now have less idea of what to expect from the LG G6 than we did previously. Still, with the phone likely not out until April 2017 we’ve got a while to work what’s true and what’s not.
- We're expecting the Samsung Galaxy S8 in early 2017 too
