LG has officially announced it will be unveiling the G5 at its February 21 MWC press conference – but it appears the phone has already been on sale, albeit for a brief moment.
An e-commerce website in Dubai appears to have got a hold of the phone and put it up for sale with a selection of photos, but the listing has now been pulled.
The pictures on the listing, if genuine, confirm there won’t be any back buttons on the LG G5, which will, according to this leak, include a dual-camera setup.
Watch your back
It looks like LG is dropping the power button on the back, and will replace it with a fingerprint sensor, in a similar position to the one on the Nexus 6P.
There’s also a volume rocker on the side of the phone, and what looks to be a camera button on the bottom left-hand side. We can’t tell from these photos whether the LG G5 will include a second smaller display, like the V10 did.
The phone was priced at about $680 (about £474) by the Dubai retailer, but there’s no way of knowing whether the device was legitimate or not. The listing claimed the phone was brand new, imported from the US and had a valid IMEI number as well as coming in its original packaging.
The LG G5 is set to be announced in less than a week, and we’d expect LG to be pushing the phone out for sale about a month after that.

That's is some ugly phone maybe the worst LG made
sorry LG but, eww.
Literally, the worst design I have ever seen. It looks like a budget phone from 2009. Grey bar on black!? Every phone that has used this design has been a complete flop. Why would they do this? I was expecting top specs, a fantastic camera, and the slimmest possible equally sized too/bottom bezels, and we are most likely seeing none of this in the G5. Disappointed.
