LG has been revealing key details about its upcoming V30 flagship ahead of the Aug. 31 launch, but one important piece of the puzzle is missing: An actual picture of the phone.

Well, it's not missing any more. The image of the phone from all sides comes courtesy of leaker Evan Blass, and even though it's not an official photo (likely a press render), it looks exactly what we thought it would look based on previous leaks. Simply put, it's very likely the real thing.

On the front side, the LG V30 looks a lot like the G6 with even smaller bezels, especially on the bottom and on the sides. It's the currently prevalent trend in smartphones and I like LG's simple approach. The back shows a dual camera, a flash and a fingerprint sensor, and it looks a bit clunkier than the G6's symmetrical design, but still better (in terms of usability) than Samsung S8's awkwardly positioned fingerprint sensor.

Though this is hard to judge from the photo, it also looks that the V30 will have a metallic back, instead of the glass back design on the G6. Also notable is the lack of secondary screen which was so far a staple of LG's V series of phones. With the V30, it seems that LG's consolidated its two flagship lines into a singular design philosophy, leaving the days of wild experimentation (both with G5's modularity and the V20's secondary screen) behind.

So what else do we know about the LG V30? It'll have a 6-inch, 18:9 OLED screen, a powerful camera with an f/1.6 aperture and face recognition. And yes, if there's anything left for LG to reveal, we'll be there Aug. 31 to tell you all about it.
