There have been plenty of leaks and rumors about LG recently. The South Korean company has taken something of a back seat lately, allowing competitors like Samsung, Huawei and Sony to dominate press coverage at MWC 2018. But there is still plenty of interest in what flagship device LG is preparing to reveal. The latest leak, reported by a Korean news website, suggests that the G7 will be launched in May and could cost 100,000 South Korean won (~US94) more than the G6 did at its launch. It has been estimated the rumored smartphone could cost in excess of US$800.

The expected specifications for the LG flagship handset include a Snapdragon 845 processor, OLED display (with a notch), dual rear 16 MP cameras and a 3000 mAh battery. It is likely that a Plus version of the G7 would offer a larger display, more RAM, and more storage space. However, this is still speculation as LG has not yet confirmed any details in regard to these devices.
