According to speculations, LG will be adjusting its release cycle and will be coming out with the next flagship, the LG G5, early next year.
Meanwhile, additional rumors place the South Korea-based tech giant to be developing not one, but two flagships for next year, and after the G5, it will be unveiling the follow-up to the V10 in the latter part of 2016.
In a report by Digital Trends, a publication out of South Korea posted an article saying that LG will be changing some of its release plans for its flagships next year.
The South Korean tech manufacturer will reportedly launch the G5 in April next year, followed by the V10 successor supposedly in the second half of the year. Interestingly, the publication also cited internal sources saying that the V10 lineup will be the successor to the G Flex series, which LG will reportedly discontinue next year.
Techno Buffalo likened this change of pace for LG to that of Samsung. According to the industry observer, it seems that LG is copying its South Korean competitor. Samsung is known to come out with a new addition to its Galaxy S series early in the year and then follow it up with another flagship, usually a new Galaxy Note, in fall.
However, although some reports already place LG to announce the G5 early in 2016, there are still no confirmed details about the next flagship's specs.
According to speculations, the LG G5 will come in an all-metal unibody design, with a 5.6-inch QHD display (a bump from the 5.5-inch screens of the LG G3 and G4). In addition, the new G5 will also reportedly be featuring the new Snapdragon 820 processor, and at least 3 GB of RAM. Supposedly, LG will also be incorporating biometrics security features for the new G5, such as fingerprint and iris scanners.
