Based on leaked images and teasers, we know that the upcoming LG G4 will feature a leather back, but is this going to be the same faux leather design that Samsung used in the past? Or will it be the real deal? For those who aren’t fans of the faux leather design, you can rest assured knowing that LG will be using real leather.
In a recent post on LG’s website, the company revealed that the leather used on the upcoming LG G4 will be made using cow leather. Apparently this is more than just slapping a piece of leather onto the back of the phone because according to the company, it is a carefully crafted piece of material that takes a total of 12 weeks to complete.
The company claims that only high quality cow leather will be used and it will also feature 0.001 micrometer pores for breathability, with the end result being a piece of leather that is smooth and soft to the touch, while at the same time allowing heat to escape through the micrometer pores. We’re just taking LG’s word for it now and we’ll probably need to feel it for ourselves to get a better idea.
The LG G4 will be officially launched on the 28th of April and according to the rumors, it is expected to be priced a little higher than the competition due to its “premium” status, which we’re guessing the leather backing might have contributed to it.
