LG fans who loved the curved design and high-end specs of the LG G Flex 2 should be excited to know that its successor will be launching in less than a year.

The rumored LG G Flex 3 is said to be the first handset that will feature the Snapdragon 820 chipset. With this change, the next LG flagship hopes that it no longer has to face the overheating issues found in the G Flex 2, which was attributed mainly to the device's Snapdragon 810 processor.

It was previously suggested that the G Flex 3 will have a metal construction. While this is unlikely to happen because of metal's lack of pliability, a curved metal design of the G Flex 3 shouldn't be totally ruled out. After all, LG Display has been making curved TVs which have a metal build. It remains to be seen whether the G Flex 3 will boast a metal design while keeping the curved shape that the Flex series are known for.

Previously at Tech Times, specs of the upcoming G Flex 3 were also revealed following several information that were leaked online. According to the report, the G Flex 3 will have an impressive 4GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage which can be expanded, 20.7MP rear camera and 8MP front-facing camera.

The G Flex 3 will also have a 6-inch display with 2K resolution. This is definitely bigger than the G Flex 2's 5.5-inch screen.

It will also be interesting to know how the G Flex 3 will fare in terms of camera superiority against its hottest competition. The 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 5 has 16MP (rear) and 5MP (front) for its cameras while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus has 8MP (rear) and 1.2MP (front).

The LG G Flex 3 will also feature a fingerprint scanner, which seems to be one of the most sought-after features these days, thanks to the increasing campaign on the importance of guarding one's private information.

The new G Flex 3 is expected to be officially announced in March 2016. While details such as pricing are yet to be confirmed, the handset will likely have a more premium price point than the G Flex 2's and could be somewhere near $500.
