As mentioned in our last LG G5 post, LG will make an appearance at the MWC 2016 next month to go head on with Samsung and Sony. We have already showed you how the render might look like based on the eyewitness testimony, now there's another one leaked in the internet and it looks quite similar to the previous render.

It's reported that the G5 is probably going full metal, the four corners are curved and the volume buttons are placed on the left just like the first render. What's interesting to note that, the power button is actually placed at the bottom along with the speaker, while the headphone jack remains at the top. The device will have a fingerprint sensor on the back too.

So what's after CES 2016? Well, that would be the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 in Barcelona. AndLG has announced that they are preparing a surprise for us there, as they will unveil a “major smartphone” to the market.

The teaser, which shows a green jukebox speculated that the “major smartphone” could be the LG G5.

From the render, it seems that LG is going full metal on the G5, the four corner edge are all curved and the volume buttons are located at the left side, it's also notable that the way the battery is removed is rather unique and seems a lot easier to take out.
