Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S7, the LG G5 is expected to come with a design overhaul.
According to Android Authority, LG will be moving away from the curved design and rear button setup of the G series. A leaked diagram of the G5 suggests that the volume controls will be shifted back to the side of the device although the power button (and possibly a fingerprint sensor) will stay at the rear below the camera.
The G5 is also expected to sport a 5.6-inch edge-to-edge Quad-HD display in a thinner, taller and wider metallic chassis. It is said that the G5 will measure 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.2mm. For comparison's sake, the G4 measures 148.9 x 76.1 x 6.3 ~ 9.8mm.
LG is reportedly launching the G5 on the same day as the Galaxy S7 next month at Mobile World Congress 2016. Other rumored specs include dual-displays, dual cameras, a hardware expansion slot and a modular design.
