LG G4 is reportedly going to be out in the market sometime this year, but only very little information has been rolled out regarding the device. The specs that are making their rounds on the Internet have been based purely on consumer speculations.

Earlier reports have mentioned that the LG G4 will be a totally revamped device, and will be sporting an aluminum casing. However, the unit’s leaked images suggested otherwise. It would appear that the LG G4 will be sporting a curved type of plastic material, based on the photo that was posted on News Everyday.
Moreover, Expert Reviews has stated that applying a metal body to the LG G4 was highly unlikely, since the company reportedly intends to make use of computer controlled CNC routers to create new bodies for their devices. Sadly, the company is not fully ready to undergo such transition as of the moment, considering that they will have to produce large volumes in a relatively short notice.
Plus, preparing the new machines and producing the new non-plastic cases will take a lot of time – months, as stated in the report. That said, expectations that the LG G4 will have a body made of plastic could be correct. After all, this will also be in congruence with the images that have been previously leaked.
Since the LG G4 will look pretty much like its un-upgraded predecessors, fans are curious about what the company is going to do in order to make it more appealing. According to ZDNet, as translated by Google Translate, the LG G4 may look like last year’s model, but it will be incorporated with new features and will be improved to make it worth the purchase.
On the bright side, however, the LG G4 Note might sport the metal casing that avid LG users want. Earlier this year, execs from LG confirmed that they will be rolling out a new device that will be much better than the LG G4 before 2015 ends. It turned out that they were referring to the LG G4 Note, which they say will have a boost in its specs and an all-aluminum casing.
