The LG G3 is expected to launch in a couple of months sporting a top of the line hardware. While the leaks aren’t as frequent as an LG fan would have liked, they’re still pouring in and this time it’s the alleged UI of the handset that has been let out courtesy of LGG3kopen.nl.

The icons are revealed to be much flatter and plain, which is in line with Samsung’s revamped TouchWiz UI. We’re yet to discover other aspects of the user interface but it seems like LG is going with a simple and minimalistic design this time around.

As this is merely a leak at this point, we suggest you to take it with a grain of salt. Since the LG flagship is still some distance away from launch, a lot could change by then. But it feels like we’re getting a sense of where the company is headed with a UI revamp.

The smartphone is expected to pack a 5.5 inch 2K resolution display, a Snapdragon 805 chipset, a 13-megapixel camera with OIS and water/dust resistance much like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2. With the amount of build-up that the LG flagship is getting, we would be surprised if it doesn’t live up to the hype.
