EVLeaks post a picture of an unknown LG phone: Optimus G2 anyone?

   The guys and or girls over at EVLeaks are busy at the moment and it seems that with their latest leak they've decided to promote their Facebook page a little. The device which they used is the one pictured above which the guys speculated is the LG Optimus G2.

   Obviously there's nothing more to go along with this device except for what you see on the screen, but according to the comments on the post some people have been busy doing some maths and they think that the screen checks out at 5.5", which puts it in the same ballpark as the Optimus G Pro, but it seems a little on the large size for average consumers and remember that's only a guess.

   One other interesting point is that seemingly new speaker grill. We're not sure whether or not we're fans of that at the moment, it looks strangely like a HDMI port to out eyes! Similarly there appears to be a lack of physical buttons, which is great, but again we're not sure if there are touch buttons on the left and right of the LG logo, much like HTC opted for with their HTC One. The rumours say that this will be the first phone with the Snapdragon 800 processor inside from Qualcomm, but again there's no way to check this out until we get some more details from LG or the tipsters!

   What do you think? Does this look right to you? Do you like the design? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

• iFixit have torn apart the HTC One! You can see the deconstruction here, but they say that the device is built to last and it shouldn't come apart very easily, but by the same token it will be very difficult to replace any faulty parts, so replacing the battery is not an option!

• HP's budget 7" Android tablet, the Slate 7, was supposed to be launching this month, for whatever reason, we're not sure what that is yet, the device has been pushed back until June. That might be a bad move because we fully expect to see an updated Nexus 7 at Google I/O!
