New LG V30 renders leak out

While LG shared plenty of things about its upcoming V30 smartphone (including details about its cameras and user interface), the device won't be properly unveiled before August 31 - that's two weeks from now. However, we've already seen the V30 in some screenshots snapped from a leaked video.

Today, we can take another look at the handset - this time thanks to clear renders revealed by the ever-reliable Evan Blass (aka @evleaks). These appear to be press renders that LG itself will be using to promote the new smartphone once it fully announces it.

As expected, the V30 looks like an enlarged LG G6, as it sports a FullVision display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and very thin bezels all around. Rumors have it that this is a 6-inch AMOLED screen with 1440 x 2880 pixels, but, for now, we can't confirm these details. In case you're wondering, the display is not curved, although the glass covering it seems to be a bit bent on the sides.

On the back, the LG V30 unsurprisingly has a dual camera (with an f/1.6 aperture - a first for a smartphone), in addition to a fingerprint scanner. Overall, we'd say that this is a pretty nice metal-made device.

The LG V30 might be released shortly after its announcement, so we're hoping to see it in stores starting September. Needless to say, this won't be an affordable phone, so you'd better start saving if you're planning to buy it.
