Since LG Electronics skipped the ongoing Mobile World Congress in announcing the LG G4, the guessing game is still on regarding the probable design and features of the smartphone. 

A new concept image emerged online showing purported features of the LG G4. The latest render was created by concept designer Jermaine Smit. Smit made a video of his latest visualization and presented it in YouTube, with images posted on Concept Phones. 

Based on the photos, the smartphone borrows the form factor of the recently released LG G Flex 2. The back panel is glossy, which gives a hint of color and elegance to the handset. Its thickness is 8.7 mm. According to Concept Phones, the imagined LG G4 is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 810 SoC with a 3000 mAh battery capacity. It is equipped with a 16-megapixel back camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. It also sports dual stereo speakers. Smit also posted his PayPal address seeking support for his concept-making projects. 

The rumor mill also churned out the possible specs of the LG G4. It is said to boast features such as a 5-inch quad HD display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor, bigger RAM, Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, 16- to 20-megapixel rear shooter, and longer battery life. However, LG has not yet revealed the official specs and features as well as the release date of the handset. Reports have stated that the South Korean tech company is currently "perfecting" the smartphone. 

There were previous speculations that LG will unveil the device in April after the company decided to delay its announcement to avoid clashing with other smartphones. Still, this would be slightly earlier in the year when compared to the release of the LG G3, which took place in May 2014. 

A leaked file spotted by MyLGPhones last month suggested that the LG G4 will come in "LG-F500S", "LG-F500K" and "LG-F500L" versions, hinting that the smartphone will be released in its home court in South Korea before in other countries.
