NEW DELHI: LG is all set to unveil its flagship smartphone for 2014, the LG G3.

The South Korean electronics giant has reportedly sent invitations to events scheduled for May 27 and 28 in six cities, across the world. The company will host events in San Francisco, New York, and London on the first day and in Seoul, Singapore, and Istanbul on the following day.

The company has not explicitly mentioned that it will release the G3 but the invite features a message that reads, "To be simple is to be Great," with a special focus on the 'G' alphabet. In fact the alphabet sports the same font style used in the LG G range branding. The invite's background features a brushed aluminium texture hinting at a new material and texture.

LG had said in its quarterly financial report that it plans to launch the G3 in the second quarter of 2014.

Alleged pictures of the LG G3 are already doing the rounds with the phone retaining the G2's rear mounted volume rocker and power keys. Purported screenshots of the phone's UI had also leaked online. The alleged screenshots feature flatter icons for app shortcuts. The settings toggles located in the notifications tray also feature flat and round icons similar to the ones found in the Samsung Galaxy S5. The tray appears to be translucent unlike the one found on the LG G2 and LG's existing phones.

LG G3 is said to have display resolution of 2560x1440p, run on a 64-bit processor and sport a 16MP rear camera. It is expected to be powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor. Other rumoured specifications include 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and microSD expansion. Powered by Android 4.4 (KitKat), the smartphone is expected to have connectivity options like 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
