The LG G7 is coming in April and has been pictured in renders online

A render of what is alleged to be the LG G7 has leaked online. Of course, the discussion is ongoing as to whether it will actually be called the LG G7 given recent rumours on the name. 

Regardless the render, published by TigerMobiles, is apparently of LG's next flagship, whatever it may be called, which is pegged for a release in April. The image shows the top and bottom bezels are thinner than on the LG G6 and the side bezels are practically non-existent, meaning LG has apparently enlarged the display panel even more while figuring out a way to trim the bodyshell down further.

This means the screen-to-body ratio will be insanely high, possibly in that 90% territory that Samsung was apparently aiming for with the Galaxy S9 series. Additionally, the screen aspect ratio will be an 18:9 FullVision. We can also see two sensor ports above the display; this could be a dual-sensor front-facing camera, but equally may be a single-sensor camera and an iris scanner, or some other sensor type. There's a pair of keys on the phone's left flank which look like a volume rocker setup. We can't see the back panel, so we don't know about the primary camera setup, or the possible presence of a fingerprint-scanner. What's weird is the absence of a power key.

An iris scanner is already rumoured for the next LG flagship, along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0 capability.

TigerMobiles doesn't mention where this render came from, so we've no idea of its possible authenticity at this stage. Therefore, take this all with a pinch of salt.
