LG G3 leaks in new photo here is Black and White brushed metal finishes

The South Koreans next impending flagship smartphone, the LG made G3 has made another round to the leaks tag, and this time we are seeing the phone in two previously seen colors posing for the camera.

The G3 is currently pictured in Black and White color options, which seems to still have that earlier reported brushed metal finish on the backplate. Remember, last Friday we have already see the LG G3 in Gold color option sporting the very same pattern, alongside other details. All we need to know now is whether the phone will be made out of aluminium or any other premium materials, than the designed traditional polycarbonates.

And as said in the past reports, the phoneArena sources also confirms that the upcoming front runner from Lifes Good manufacturer will have a removable battery and microSD card slot on board under the shiny backplate.

LG has scheduled events on 27th and 28th of May, where we expect the codenamed B2 to make its official debut.
