Considering the lukewarm responses to the LG G4, not to mention the disappointing sales, LG needs a new flagship smartphone to help turn things around, and that new device will be launching on October 10th, according to reports out of South Korea. While the name of the devices wasn’t mentioned in the reports, we do know that it’s a flagship, which means it’s almost definitely the highly-anticipated LG G4 Pro phablet that’s supposed to take on the Galaxy Note 5.
A new LG smartphone passed through TENAA yesterday, which could be the anticipated second flagship that LG has planned for the second half of the year. Last week, LG’s Cho Juno confirmed that a new flagship would be unveiled sometime in Q4 2015 and reports from Korea suggest that October 10th could be the launch date. According to the source, an LG official recently let the release date slip during a briefing about the company’s plans for the second half of the year. However, nothing else about the handset seems to have been mentioned. We don’t know much about the next LG flagship, although the TENNA pictures suggest that the company’s laser auto focus technology may be heading to the phone’s front camera too. LG is expected to launch a large Note-like handset, with names like the G4 Pro, G4 Note and G4 Script all floating around. However, we didn’t spot a slot for a stylus or pen in those TENAA images.
