Yet another LG G5 leak ahead of official unveiling bares all
August 04, 2025
LG was planning on giving the world its first look at theG5in Barcelona this Sunday just ahead of theMobile World Conference, but peeks of the device have been cropping upall over the place. However, a leak on Twitter by VentureBeat’sEvan Blasshas given us what may be our best look so far at the front and back of this flagship smartphone outside of a case.
Although Blass has since deleted his tweet after being bombarded by negative comments (a “blood bath,” he called it), we managed to snag the image before it vanished. The shots reinforce what we’ve already seen so far: volume buttons mounted on the left, an unobtrusive fingerprint sensor on the back. Since we haven’t been able to locate a power button so far in any of these leaks, there’s heavy speculation that the fingerprint sensor will be pulling double duty, serving as the device’s power button as well.
It’s really best to reserve full judgement until we see the LG G5 formally unveiled on the 21st. The nature of leaks is that they’re often not the most aesthetically pleasing shots, and they can give a bad first impression of the device. Blass put it well in his explanation for taking the leaked photo off of Twitter:
Stay tuned for the official release of the G5 this Sunday. Our team is currently on their way to Barcelona to provide on-the-ground coverage of MWC all week, so when you want to tap into all the sweet mobile tech we’ll be seeing this year, check back in with AA.
