Whereas, select regions in Latin America markets would be getting a 13M rear shooter on this handset, although the front facing camera would be of 5MP in all regions, sporting a Gesture Interval Shot.

Talking about the connectivity part, it will support 4G LTE along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC and GPS. The device measures 9.85mm thick and is powered by a 2300mAh capacity battery, which is going to be removable.
The G4 beat is said to hit the shelves across Europe and Latin America first, and would have color choices of, Metallic Silver, Ceramic White, and Shiny Gold. It would later follow by countries like Canada, India Russia, Singapore, Turkey, South Africa and other markets.

Currently, there is no word on the pricing yet, but you can expect that to reveal pretty soon. If you’re in India and are looking for an LG handset, then company recently launched a new handset in the country named, LG G4 Stylus.
