We’ve heard rumours for a while now that LG is developing a second flagship smartphone to be released in the second half of 2015, with the new series of handsets possibly being called ‘G Note‘. At the Taiwanese launch of its G4 smartphone, LG Electronics has re-confirmed its dual-flagship plans as it attempts to boost sales in both Taiwan and the rest of the world.
With Taiwan being responsible for 220,000 sales of its G3 and G Pro 2 handsets, LG is hoping that the release of a second flagship later this year will boost sales by up to 30 percent. LG has estimated that the G4 will manage around 300,000 sales in Taiwan over the next twelve months. Overall, the G4 is expected to reach 10 million sales worldwide.
The Director of Mobile Business at LG’s Taiwan branch, Eason Shao, said that “hardware specifications for the second phone have not yet been finalized”.
It’s unknown whether this second flagship handset will follow the tradition of the G Pro series by sporting larger displays than the G series, or if it will possibly be smaller, perhaps of the five-inch or less variety. Speculation is still rife that it will compete head-to-head with Samsung’s industry leading Galaxy Note range. I’m sure that there will be many leaks and rumours around this second flagship in the months ahead.
