LG ready for another big step with forthcoming LG G4

Although a lot of the buzz surrounding Android smartphones in the days since MWC 2015 has involved the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, and to a lesser extent the HTC One M9, LG hopes to make a dent in that in the next few weeks. According to an LG official, the company was present at MWC 2015 and met with carriers and other resellers to discuss their new device. Making a positive impression will be important as the company has set a goal of 10 million units to sell during 2015.

LG says they have sold between 6 million and 7 million LG G3 devices, one of 2014’s best smartphones, since it hit the market in May 2014. According to the LG official cited by sources, the LG G4 will be unveiled in April, when everyone will be learn what they have done to change up the specs and features of the smartphone. Producing a solid entrant to the market and achieving sales success will be an important part of LG’s longer-term strategy as it will show they can keep the momentum going after the success of the LG G3.

Rumors are already swirling about LG following the path of Samsung and switching to a metal chassis for their top device. Another frequent claim is that LG will implement a fingerprint scanner. However LG equips the LG G4, it appears all but certain that the heart will be Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 810 processor. LG went out of their way to note they “have no problems” sourcing chips from Qualcomm and noted the chip supplier had more than adequately address some “not big technical issues.”
