According to the publication, the acquired image reveals the half upper portion of the latest LG G6. There are several interesting details which can be taken from the leaked photo.

First eye-catcher featured on the image is the antenna bands. It seems that the company is now gearing towards producing devices with antenna bands. The image reveals that antenna bands can be spotted near the top of the smartphone.

Looking at the image, another interesting detail is the shape of the handset. One can spot that the corners of the display are rounded. This appears to be similar with the one in the rumored Samsung Galaxy S8 and in the Xiaomi Mi Mix. The publication also noted that the upcoming LG G6 will have a huge 5.7-inch display.
