Apparently, LG may have slipped up and left a trail to a new G4 micro site embedded within the source code of an official teaser page. The site showcases full renderings, marketing material, and more of LG’s upcoming G4 smartphone…
The site provides detailed information about LG’s upcoming flagship. The specifications shown on the site are the G3’s (given away by the Android 4.4.2 mention and the camera specs), but it’s likely those are just a placeholder for the real deal upon announcement. This micro site could be under construction at the moment, but what’s even more interesting is how it was discovered. Apparently, LG’s source code on this page had a URL string which at its base URL directs to the micro site. See the source code and URL highlighted in the image below.
Upon visiting that URL, you’re directed to a nearly put together micro site revealing full renderings, 360 views, features, and everything else you’d like to know. It’s possible that this was a mistake on LG’s behalf, but considering how many teasers we’ve seen lately it could also be very intentional.

As mentioned, the specifications page on the micro site listed below seems to have LG’s G3 smartphone specifications in place, but all other renderings and features seem to be accurate. Though, there’s no way to be 100 percent sure until LG’s official revealing on April 28, 2015.
The site lists a lot of the teased features we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks including a 5.5-inch QHD IPS Quantum
Display, improved f1.8 16-megapixel camera, leather backing design (for most models), a thickness of 8.9mm, removable 3,000 mAh battery, and SD card slot. There is a lot of information listed.
Here are some snippets of test from the site:

Ideal for low light and portraits, this lens produces beautiful bokeh and bright, professional-looking photos that pop with clarity and detail.

vivid with an infrared sensor that

Nexus 5: 5.49″ tall
LG G3: 5.76″ tall
LGG4: 5.87″ tall..
The complete opposite of what I was hoping for (a 5.3″ screen inside of 5.5″ tall body)
This is just sad 🙁 9mm thick and a 2mp front camera…
The dimensions just killed my hopes and dreams 🙁
5.5″ screen with that much bezel, means the device size is most likely the same, or bigger than the G3.
Hopefully that isnt true :/

Really, really nice looking device. But Android 4.4.2?
Those are G3 specs. We believe it to be a placeholder.
