LG G5 rumored specifications surface with a possible release date

A tipster named Zealer posted some rumored specifications for the upcoming LG G5 flagship on Weibo earlier today. However, the post was taken down soon after. Luckily, Tech Grapple got a shot of it.

According to Zealer’s Weibo post, the LG G5 will sport a 5.6-inch QHD display, which is slightly larger than this year’s LG G4. Other rumored specs include a Snapdragon 820 processor, an Adreno 530 GPU, a 21MP rear-facing camera, and an 8MP front-facing shooter for video chats and selfies. The camera seems to be the biggest enhancement here, which will replace the 16MP rear-facing camera on the LG G4. LG may also include the tinker display like the one on the LG V10 as well as the same dual front-facing camera setup.

Most Interestingly, the rumor indicates a possible Iris scanner for scanning one’s eyes. This will be the first of its kind if LG can ready the technology in time for production. One can also expect 3GB or 4GB or RAM to ensure that multitasking is a breeze.

The LG G5 may release as early as February of 2016, which is right when Samsung plans to unleash their next Galaxy flagship. If this is the case, it’ll be quite the battle time come launch.
