A lot can change in a year and the LG G6 is shaping up to look very different from the LG G5 in the lead up to its official unveiling next month.
We're seeing what looks to be the first official LG G6 photo, or at least the top of the phone, thanks to a leak obtained by The Verge.
It shows the front and and left side of the Android Nougat smartphone and there's a distinct lack of bezel around the screen.
We already know that it'll boast a large 5.7-inch screen and a very unique 18x9 resolution, as confirmed by subsidiary LG Display.
Other expected LG G6 features include waterproof design and dual rear camera to capture wide angle photos.
But you'll have to do without modular accessories (everyone is okay with that) and a user-replaceable battery (that's going to ruffle some feathers).
Big screens in, bezels out
The LG G6 puts greater focus on design than the the LG G5, which tried to push a modular accessories gimmick than went nowhere.
Its 5.7-inch screen and novel 18x9 aspect ratio are a big change from the G5's smaller 5.3-inch screen at the usual 16x9 standard.
This is hardly the first nearly bezel-free smartphone we've seen, as the Xiaomi Mi Mix launched with an all-screen phone in China.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is also rumored to nearly eliminate bezels thanks to its curved screen and supposed lack of a physical home button.
The LG G6 has the advantage of launching before the Samsung Galaxy S8 at MWC 2017 on February 26. That's when we'll see the full LG G6 revealed.
