LG G6 renders show it might not carry on G5’s modular design

If this rendered leak from @OnLeaks and Gear India on Twitter is true, LG might be dropping the modular approach for the G5 in favor of what looks like a more conventional, iPhone-esque device. The renders show a flat 5.3-inch quad-HD display and the lack of a removable chin like in the G5. The bottom bezel of the G5 can be detached so users can swap LG’s accessories (what they call “Friends”) and have different experiences and functionality from the phone. Unfortunately, that doesn’t look like it’s being carried over to the next flagship. That’ll be a bummer for those who heavily invested in the accessories.

What still remains, though is the 3.5mm headphone jack and there’s now a USB Type-C port and bottom-firing speakers on this device. The back panel might come in glossy and matte finishes and it’ll have dual-camera support LG has been doing for its last few flagships. You can also see a round fingerprint scanner at the bottom of the camera setup.
