LG G4 release date, specs roundup: Phone to launch April 29 in South Korea

With LG's nonstop effort to give the tech world glimpses of what the LG G4 would be like, one will be forgiven for thinking that the highly-anticipated flagship has been officially introduced. Interestingly, the LG offering is still partially covered with a veil, to be fully removed on April 28. 

Although that release date is a week away, LG Korea revealed that the handset won't hit the shelves in its home fort until April 29. Unfortunately, there is no mention whether this date applies to other regions or to South Korea only. 

Looking back, the LG G4's predecessor, the LG G3, was first made available in the said country before any other areas saw the handset in all its glory. If this is LG's plan for the 2015 flagship, then it is once again asking for patience from users outside South Korea who are eyeing the device. 

As if the smartphone is not alluring enough, LG is cooking up more irresistible offers to net more buyers. Just recently, it announced that users in South Korea who pre-order the device will get a 64 GB memory card on the house, plus free screen replacement within the first year. 

The upcoming product is quite a catch for its 5.5-inch Quad HD display and its 16-megapixel rear-facing shooter that LG claims works like a DSLR camera. The South Korea manufacturer has also revealed the f/1.8 aperture, which will allow users to capture great photos even in low-light conditions. 

Furthermore, it has an 8-mgeapixel camera to take care of selfies while it is expected to rely on a 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (or 808) processor for power and performance. LG opted to integrate 16 GB and 32 GB storage capacities paired with 3 GB RAM. 

LG will show off the LG G4 on April 28 and eventually on April 29 in countries like New York, London, Paris, Istanbul, Singapore and Seoul.
