The LG G edge seems like a high-and-mighty premium device

Towards the end of August, word surfaced online that Chinese device maker Xiaomi was working on a competitor for the Samsung Galaxy edge series of devices. Samsung really blew our minds away when, in 2014, it unveiled the Galaxy Note edge, the first smartphone to arrive with a secondary, curved display.

Well, it seems that other manufacturers are willing to be picking up the trend. Xiaomi is rumored to be working on the Mi edge model that, just like the Galaxy S6 edge, will feature not one, but two curved displays. You might remember that, back at CES 2015, LG too teased a similar model with a dual-edge design. But what if such a phone actually becomes a reality?

The folks at DBS Videography have created a concept that perfectly depicts what an LG G edge handset would actually look like in real life. And they have added some specs to match.

The LG G edge could be a titan

According to their vision, the LG G edge could be the second smartphone to make a debut in the wild with a 4K AMOLED display attached, after the Xperia Z5 Premium. The smartphone should feature a 5.5-inch screen, an iris scanner plus a dual infrared sensor and a 13MP frontal camera.

The main camera will be of the 24MP variety with OIS 2.0 (next-gen optical image stabilization) and f/1.8 lens. The G edge will also come equipped with a fingerprint scanner and will have built-in NFC.

As you might have guessed, the LG G edge is seen as being powered by Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 820 processor fitted with 4GB of RAM and should run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. A USB Type-C port will be offered on board, a standard most high-end dhandsets will soon adhere too.

The LG G edge offers 64/128GB internal memory options and support for microSD card slot for expansion up to 2TB of storage. Such a beastly phone will rely on a 5,000 mAh removable battery to maintain the life flow. It appears that the LG G edge combines every single great feature we could think of.

What do you think? If the pricing were right, would you buy the LG G edge?
