Tech site GSM Arena says it got its hands on a pair of pictures of the G3 in gold, the most coveted color in smartphone design these days.
A luxe, brushed metallic finish on the front and back panels would definitely give the phone some eye-catching sheen and would also close the gap between LG and its other gilded rivals — the copper Samsung Galaxy S5 , rose gold HTC One M8 , and of course, the phone that started it all, the champagne iPhone 5S .
In addition to its new exterior, the LG G3 could also sport a redesigned custom interface that runs on top of its Android 4.4 KitKat OS. Check out the gallery for screenshots.
