Not more than a week ago, LG G4 is unveiled as the company's top of the line phone. Speculations about this new smartphone mushroom all over the internet and one that catches much attention is the device's rumored full metal body. The LG G4 is apparently the company's reaction to the stylish and chic Smartphone bandwagon trend that Apple and Samsung spearhead this year.
The news on LG G4's metal body start with ZDKorea which reports that the shift to thrash plastic for a metal body is to go for the kill against closet competitors Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple. The metal body, according to the same site, allows for the infusion of the Computer Precision Control (CNC) Technology that permits better maneuvering and access to phone. However, the same Korean site details that the metal body may only be available for LG G4 Note and not with LG G4; but the same remains a speculation. LG G4 is instead crafted from a polycarbonate material. These materials come from thermoplastic polymers that can be easily worked, molded and thermoformed hence its wide use in modern smartphones.
The reason behind this limitation with G4 is that the CNC technology may take some time to complete major beta tests and LG may not be able to have it ready in time for the launch. Nevertheless, there is no stopping LG from releasing a full body metal casing within launch timeline should the CNC Tech gives favorable results.
LG G4 is set for release on April this year but LG Electronics has not yet confirmed this. Rumor has it that G4 makes us of the Neo-Edge technology thus the new device is reported to be twice slimmer at .7mm compared to its predecessor G3 (1.5mm bezel). Its screen sports to be at 5.3-inch screen with Quad HD display and is equipped by a 16MP rear camera with resolution at 5312×2988 pixels.
Furthermore, reports also suggest that LG Electronics invests millions of dollars to develop their own processor which is either called UX 4.0 or Nunclun. This processor spells LG's independence from Qualcomm's Snapdragon which is currently installed in G3.
