LG G3: Leaked Retail Box Confirms Gold Color model

LG, South Korea's second largest smartphone maker, seems to be excited about its next big-ticket handset, which might go on sale this summer.

The LG G3 could be the latest flagship phone to join in the footsteps of the Apple iPhone 5S, the Samsung Galaxy S5, the HTC One (M8), and other high-end phones that have been colored gold.

The G3 is expected to come in gold color variant, alongside the standard black and white colors, according to tech website The Verge.

The tech site has received an alleged photograph showing a gold colored LG G3 retail box. This means that the forthcoming LG G3 phone will indeed come in gold color.

Sources close to The Verge also revealed that the G3 will resemble the KDDI-bound super thin LG LGL24 isai whose press images leaked out just a day back.

Unsurprisingly, LG has not revealed a single detail about the successor to the G2. However, the South Korean tech vendor did confirm that the G3 handset will feature a Quad-HD (2560 x 1440) display.

LG G3 is the one of the most awaited handsets of 2014. While there've been rumors of a Quad-HD screen, new rumors point out at two versions of the handset.

Rumor has it that the Quad-HD variant of the G3 will come with a 5.5-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Meanwhile the second variant has a lower resolution screen (1080p) and an impressive 3GB RAM. Both variants of the G3 tipped to come with Android 4.4 Kitkat mobile OS.

There's no information available as when LG will announce the LG G3 handset. However, the device is expected to go official as soon as next month, citing fierce competition.
