LG G2 caught in leaked slides: super-thin body with volume keys on the back

Some time ago we’ve told you that the forthcoming LG Optimus G2 (or that’s just G2) may be so thin that LG has opted to put its buttons on the back of the phone. Well, now we know that rumor had some merit as you can see from the few images here.

The G2 will be one of the thinnest phones around, perhaps even thinner than the Huawei Ascend P6. Moreover, it will also have super-powerful guts that include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. Plus let’s not forget its 5-inch full HD screen and a 13-megapixel camera on the back. Flexible display will have to wait for some G3, though…

Check out the few slides from LG’s presentation that was leaked to the Interwebs, compliments to the ever-savvy EVleaks. Hopefully, the Korean company will officially launch its new flagship device on August 7th. Can’t wait. 

With its 5.6mm body, Umeox X5 steals the “world’s thinnest smartphone” title from Huawei Ascend P6

Just when we’ve told you that Huawei Ascend P6 is the world’s thinnest smartphone in the world a new device appeared to steal that title from the Chinese company. It’s Umeox X5 which will be available in few European countries (including France) during the summer.

However, it’s important to add that this phone isn’t as solidly built as Huawei’s baby, though it’s decent nonetheless. The X5 has a 5.3-inch screen with most likely 720p HD resolution, dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera on the back and 3-megapixel front-facing camera, while Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean is running the show right from the get-go. And the most important part – it has a 5.6mm-thin body which is 0.5mm thinner than the Huawei Ascend P6.

We’re still not sure how much this phone will cost but if you’re looking for a thin device, we say go for the Ascend P6. It’s much better phone with better software, aluminum body and it comes from a more reputable company that will likely stay in the business for the years to come…
