Weeks before LG is scheduled to unveil a new smartphone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a leaked set of photos purports to show the company's upcoming flagship, the LG G5.
While not much to look at -- the device in the photo is almost completely hidden behind a hideous case, (common for prototypes) -- the photos, unearthed by Droid Life, indicate the phone will have dual rear cameras.
According to Droid Life's source, the cameras have a resolution of 16 and 8 megapixels, respectively, but no other details about their purpose is known. The photos also indicate the phone will have a fingerprint reader right beneath the cameras on the back, which is in line with LG's previous phone designs. Other visible details include a SIM/SD card tray on the phone's right edge, and a USB Type-C port on the phone's bottom.
The photos don't do much to confirm a previous report from CNET Korea that the phone will have a modular design with a battery that can be easily exchanged by removing the phone's bottom. Previous rumors also indicated that the phone will have a Snapdragon 820 processor and 3GB of RAM, as well as an 8-megapixel camera, though that's impossible to confirm from the new photos. Check out the entire set of photos here.
As far as rumors go, this entire thing is pretty shaky, as the LG logo is not visible in the photos. We will know more on Feb. 21, when LG is scheduled to hold a "Play" themed event in Barcelona -- and we'll be there to bring you the news.
