Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, LG G5 shown off in leaked live photos


We're just a few days away from the official Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge and LG G5 announcement, but it appears that both South Korean giants have loose hands in keeping their flagship smartphone away from prying eyes. The Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge has been subject to slew of leaks giving us an idea what to expect, same applies to LG's G5 as well.

In the latest dose of leak, Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge and LG's G5 have been listed on a e-commerce website in Dubai called Dubbizle (Dubai's version of Craiglist), revealing live photos of both the devices. It is mentioned that both devices are imported from the U.S. While there is no evidence, that these units are the real deal, but based on previous leaks, these look legit.


As per the image, the Galaxy S7 edge is showed off with  its box contents as well. It looks identical to what we have seen so far in other leaked live shots and press renders, the Galaxy S6 like design, the Note 5 like curvier glass back panel and the reduced camera bump. The package contents will include a USB cable, Wall Charger, Earphones and an USB OTG adpater.


As for the LG G5, the leaked image show the dual camera setup at the back with flash and sensor placed in between, finger print sensor and metal body. The volume button are on the side instead on the back.

Meanwhile, @evleaks has confirmed that the LG G5 will have a secondary ticker display just like the LG V10 and LG X screen. This means that the LG G5 will have an "Always ON" feature for the main display as well as a secondary display above the screen. The secondary display will show notification, time, date and more. However the secondary display is not recognizable in the leaked images.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 edge and LG G5 will be announced on February 21 in Barcelona, Spain.
