For some time now, we’ve been hearing about a larger LG G4 device called the LG G4 Pro - or LG G Pro 3, depending on who you ask. It was previously billed as a “super-premium” smartphone by LG executives, but all news of it has disappeared until now, with leaker @OnLeaks confirming that there are still plans for the device – though nothing beyond that is available. LG’s LG G4 is 5.5-inches and many would say that is already close enough to a phablet-sized device – thanks to its thin bezels, the LG G4 manages to be quite compact, so there is space in LG’s lineup for a larger device, perhaps even with a stylus, though that’s all up in the air at the moment.

Previous rumours for the device pegged it to have the new Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and 27MP camera, which kind of sounds more like a wishlist than a genuine rumour. What we do know is that the Snapdragon 820 won’t be sighted in a device until at least Q1 or Q2 next year, a period when LG should be readying its LG G5 for launch – no doubt the launch of another flagship device could cause some timing issues.
