Android Headlines notes that if the LG G6 releases on the rumored date, the South Korean manufacturer will get a small opportunity to sell its new flagship. This is because Samsung is not expected to unveil its highly anticipated Galaxy S8 by then. The S8 is speculated to arrive sometime late April.
Samsung and LG are two of the biggest competing smartphone manufacturers. However, the outlet says the LG G6 may lag behind at some point. For one, the Galaxy S8 is rumored to feature the Snapdragon 835, while the G6 is reportedly coming with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 processor.
MIC has gathered the latest specs rumors surrounding the LG G6. One of the hottest features that the upcoming device may feature is an alleged major tweak in design. It is said that the smartphone will come with a thinner body frame.
The LG G6's predecessor featured a modular design. If LG decides to scrap this, fans may be more interested in the rounded edges that the G6 will reportedly come with. However, there is no official confirmation on these reports yet.
The LG G6 is expected to sell at $50 more than its predecessor. The G5 was tagged at $720 when it was released, which means the upcoming device may retail at $770.
