Update: The LG G6 launch date has been set! Mark February 26 in your diary, as LG has sent out save the dates for a MWC 2017 event on that date.
The LG G6 will be the South Korean firm's flagship smartphone for 2017, taking over from the questionable G5.
The LG G5 certainly wasn't boring though. With two rear cameras and an accessory slot that allowed you to modify the hardware it was a phone that really thought outside the box.
But while these extras were great, it didn't nail all the basics and failed to sell well, so there's plenty of room for improvement for the LG G6.
Rumors for what LG is planning on its next flagship phone are growing steadily - here's everything we know so far about the LG G6.
The LG G6 release date is almost certainly February 26, as the company's press conference is scheduled for noon in Barcelona.
LG's actually spells out the time and date without mentioning the new phone, but it does frame the invite in a hint-driven 18x9 aspect ratio – the same as the rumored LG G6 extra-wide screen.
Furthermore, a YouTube video direct from LG confirmed it will be launching in February 2017.
The video doesn't confirm it's the LG G6 either, but it would make sense as the LG G5 was announced in February 2016 and launched in April. The LG G4 also landed in April, so April 2017 seems a good bet for release date of LG G6.
If it's launched in February, it may not take two months to come out as LG said the G6 is launching "in the very near future."
A report from "industry insiders" also suggests the company wants to release the LG G6 closer to the announcement date and will push to get the phone on sale in late February or early March.
LG G6 design
Hottest leaks:
A luxurious look
A glass or metal body
No modules
Rumor has it LG will be stepping up the design of the G6 to a more premium look and quality than we've seen on previous phones. An anonymous source told Korean site ChosunBiz LG will be using a tempered glass back on the new flagship.
The LG G5 had a painted aluminum body, which some didn't like. Being glass it may not be as durable as a full-metal jacket would be, but that may be the price we pay for a better looking phone from LG.
Then again, LG might not be moving away from metal after all, with another source claiming the G6 will have "a highly reflective metallic material on the rear."
While we haven't seen leaked images of the handset yet, we have, courtesy of @OnLeaks seen renders supposedly based on an official factory CAD.
The leak adds that the dimensions are apparently be 148.8 x 72.3 x 8.3mm, which would make it a similar size to the LG G5, but marginally thicker.
Whatever design it gets, the focus according to LG is on "aesthetics and usability."
The interchangeable modules - or what LG calls "friends" - are out by the sounds of things, with LG's chief technologist Skott Ahn saying that LG is moving away from modular designs.
It's a decision we've been expecting, with an earlier report from the Electronic Times in Korea saying the same thing, while another source claimed the decision had been made in order to make the LG G6 waterproof.
