New year, new phone. At least that's the gist of a recently posted video on LG's YouTube channel, which teases its next flagship device -- you know, the one with everything that people want in a phone (or so says LG). The video ends with the launch month: February 2017. Do we think this is the LG G6 bound for next month's Mobile World Congress show in Spain? Heck yeah!
The follow-up to last year's LG G5 couldn't come soon enough. While it took a novel approach to modular parts, it ultimately felt gimmicky and failed to catch on. With Samsung on the rocks after its Galaxy Note 7 debacle, this is LG's chance to shine. If Samsung's Galaxy S8 arrives after MWC, LG would have a leg up on its longtime rival.
We've heard a few rumors about the upcoming G6 phone, which could have:
- 5.7-inch QHD display
- 18x9 aspect ratio
- No modular design
The video also hints at a few more, like a large screen, a smaller body (which could mean a smaller bezel) and water-resistant coating.
Stay tuned to CNET as more rumors and official details come in.
