LG G4 official launch set for 28 April; Specifications leaked via GFXBench

LG Electronics has sent out press invites for an event scheduled to be held on 28 April in New York, London and Paris and on 29 April in Singapore and Istanbul.

The tagline in the invite reads, "See the Great. Feel the Great," and carries the 'G' logo from LG's G series flagships. This indicates the event will mark the internal debut of the company's next G series flagship that is widely rumoured to be the LG G4.

Besides, the invite has the tagline engraved on a leather background, which hints that LG G4 could have some kind of design related to leather.

Last year LG issued invitations for the G3 launch on 27 May in San Francisco, New York, London and on 28 May in Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul. The invite had a similar G logo, depicting the G series smartphones, reports the Verge.
