A substantial leak with dozens of images of the new LG G4 made their way online this week after one of the company's microsites was discovered.
While LG has been giving up information on its upcoming flagship handset, the LG G4, a little at a time, a G4 microsite was discovered containing a number of official images of LG's new smartphone.
The new model, with an optional leather back in several different renders was brought forward by Evan Blass, also known as @evleaks, one of the Internet's most prolific leakers. The smartphone is revealed at all angles, and sports a number of cosmetic tweaks, including a carbon fiber-like weave on its display.

The leaked images also show other options of what appear to be a variety of swappable back plates, which include six separate backs made of real leather available in black, camel, maroon, baby blue, desert sand, and yellow variants.
The images also feature three plastic back plates in white, black and desert sand featuring a subtle rippled texture. It is assumed the models in leather backing carry a premium cost.
As apparent in the images, the LG Quick Circle case, allowing users to view their notifications in a view window even with the cover closed, is making a comeback with the G4.
Specs on the site, which were shown briefly and then pulled offline, details a 5.5-inch curved shell with a quad HD screen, a microSD card slot, and a replaceable 3,000mAh battery. It also includes a 16MP f/1.8 camera with an infrared color spectrum analyzer to reproduce color more accurately, laser autofocus, and a full manual shooting mode.
LG is set to hold a simultaneous press conference on April 28 and 29 in New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Seoul and Istanbul, where they have confirmed they will be official unveiling the LG G4.
