LG confirms the LG G4 leather back cover

It seems LG really doesn’t want to have any surprises left for April 28th. First, LG announced some of the changes heading to its software and then confirmed the phone will have a 16MP shooter with a f/1.8 aperture. Yesterday LG highlighted their “Quantum QHD” display in a teaser. And now this morning we have news that LG has confirmed that the LG G4 will in fact have a leather-clad design.

Early this morning or late last night, depending on your time zone, LG Mobile posted the image seen above on its Facebook page. Alongside the image was the following description:

Always have authentic luxury in hand.
The brand new LG G4 with vegetable-tanned leather cover.
See the great, feel the great.

As you can see, the image falls perfectly in line with all the leaked LG G4 images that surfaced last weekend. That means you can expect additional colors aside from the one in the above image.

For those not impressed with the leather rear cover, the good news is that the leaked images for the LG G4 suggest that at least a few rear cover options will not have the leather-clad design and will likely be made of plastic — though LG has yet to confirm this detail.
