However, till now, very little was known regarding the looks and design of the impending device from the South Korean company.
Now, a series of new images have surfaced online which shows what the LG V30 may look like. These images are based on CAD, which is a tool used by manufacturers to create realistic looking model images of the finished smartphone.

This is the first time that fans have been offered a peak into how the upcoming handset will look and some of its features as well. The Leaked renders were posted through Twitter by well-known tipster On Leaks. The images showcase the device from all angles giving a detailed look at what LG has in store for the handset.
Previous reports have already indicated that the company would be dropping the secondary panel for the LG V30.
