The LG G6, featuring slimmer bezels and Hi-Fi DAC

Both tech critics and regular users gave praises to the LG G6 upon its launch earlier this year. It is not surprising if the public clamor for the high-end smartphone's successor is getting louder, given the success of the G6. While the South Korean tech giant has yet to reveal the details on the LG G7, a concept design of the device already surfaced, teasing the users with bezel-less display and a dual camera feature.

The concept design of the LG G7 came from YouTuber known as Concept Creator. To note, the realistic image of the LG G7 was only based on the YouTube user's insights on how LG can further improve the G6 smartphone. There are no leaks yet on the G7 design and hardware specs, so the concept image was created purely by imagination, Android Headlines stated.

Many people were amazed by the recent LG G7 concept video, especially because of the impressive appearance of the device. The G7 was shown to be made mostly of glass from front to back, with the rear panel covered by textured glass. The sides are protected by metal frame.

The concept video also shows that the LG G7 will have an even higher screen-to-body ratio compared to the LG G6. The smartphone is visualized to sport a stunning 87 percent screen-to-body ratio, thanks to the slimmer bezels on the left and right sides that are almost non-existent. Although, there are still visible narrow bezels on the top and bottom.

Users would love to see the LG G7 concept video come to life especially that the device is shown in silver, cyan, and red color variants. This suggested color scheme for the G7 will be more appealing, as people may want to see colors other than the G6's black, white, and platinum.

The highlight of the LG G7 concept video would be the dual camera module placed at the rear of the handset. The positioning of the dual-lens setup is similar with the LG G6, although it is noticeable that the camera module is protruding. Below the dual camera is a fingerprint scanner, just like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 design. A USB Type-C port can be seen on the bottom side of the LG G7, while the G7 logo is printed on the rear side. The G7 is still shown to have a 3.5mm headphone jack, in spite of the recent trend in flagship handsets losing this traditional audio jack.

The concept video did not talk about the specs of the LG G7, but the rumors are rife that the handset will be among the first to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, the expected successor of the current Snapdragon 835 chipset. The LG G7 is also likely to boast 6GB RAM, 5.8-inch IPS OLED display, 4,000mAh battery, and Android 8.0 Oreo OS.
