    Meh the specs are just too underwhelming, LG might start building premium unibody phones like Samsung and Apple currently does for all future models, thus forcing them to stop offering microSD and replaceable battery support.

          Jerry101923, 16 Sep 20158GB of internal?! Why??...its a marketing strategy

          you can get other good features from this phone.
          any way you can use micro sd card to expand some apps and downloads
          and files.

          overall this is a good phone

            i like this phone

            im satisfied with its specs.
            i don't have problem with 8gb because i can use micro sd card slot
            this phone does really look excellent one of the best looking devices i have ever seen

            12mp camera is really good on an lg phone
            octacore processor is nice
            LG UI is really the best to me.

            im gonna get two units of this phone once it becomes available

            nice job LG

              Anonymous, 17 Sep 2015Yup, I mean that...thanks for the correction!;Pyou could make a metal unibody with a removeable battery, just make it like a camera where it slides in from the bottom and locks in place. with a flap matching the outside rim. similar to how they do sim cards and sd cards. so it is doable at least

                        If they can make metal uni-body with removable battery like the Samsung Alpha, then thumbs up LG for understanding Android users...

Who knows? Maybe it have almost bezel free design. They released the poster very early in S.Korea. Could be photoshoped too. Maybe there's a fine print says *Product shown not according to real size.

                                I'm not a fan of all metal bodied phones coz it think its more prone to dents and irreplaceable when damage. (Warranty Alert) but this phones has a great look so to speak. an eye catcher to be exact but specs wise maybe it lacks in some point but a sure winner in the mid-range category (in my opinion). hope its not that expensive although it has a metal kinda thinggy craze.. it fits my size i like 5.7" or 5.8" incher phones. 1080p looks nice and the camera maybe lg should have puts up a little more pixel at the rear and led flash in front and hopefully NO stylus.. its kinda weird for me to use one of those pencil like whatever you may call that stick freaking popping at the upper part of what ever. I just don't like it at all. LG make it affordable please or else its (hulugan) as my option.

                                  Alph4, 16 Sep 2015I don't get the point of expandable storage. I have a Moto ... moreYour moto G produces photos and videos that are not that large compared to the 1080p 60fps or even 4k of the flagships. Those take up tons more space so they need a lot of storage. Not everybody has wifi all the time. Not even an unlimited data connection.

                                      Looks very nice, although I wish they would make it a 6" phablet, like the G Pro series. This thing would be perfect.

Some people store their media on the SD card, all movies/tv shows/music/docs ...etc. Internal storage is used for apps but the rest is on the card. Cloud doesn't work well in countries with less stable internet connections, so an offline backup is essential. Lollipop allows moving apps to SD.
