So anyone been following the leaks... flood... tidal wave (?) of leaks about the next LG G-series phone? One of the worst kept secrets in the mobile world recently. Everyone knows everything important about it already except the price and the release date.
But some of those specs look good:

The phone itself looks good too:

They are claiming a screen that has 534ppi and uses less battery power to do so than current screens. The camera also looks great, f1.8, laser autofocus and some sort of colour detection sensor (not sure what exactly this adds). That and a 3000mah replaceable battery is fairly impressive.
But then the downside. Most seem to think the leather covers are amazing. Not so sure i like them myself. Also the lack of a Snapdragon 810 SoC is very unusual as nobody else is using the 808 chip in the G4. The heating and battery problems the sd810 is reported to cause in the HTC One M9 are likely why it was dropped.
With the fancy looks, screen, big battery and camera this could be aimed as a fashion phone. That's my worry for it given the lack of raw processing power all the competitors are aiming for. Still, think i would happily sacrifice some speed for a two day battery life.
I'm going to upgrade from a Samsung S3 running cyanogenmod soon. I'm thinking the choice could be this or a wait for the Oneplus Two.
Anyone else interested in this one?
