LG is going to introduce its next flagship smartphone next month
The company confirmed that it will launch the next version of its V-series flagship phones in an invitation to media outlets.
LG Electronics President Cho Jun-Ho at the announcement of the V20 last year.
The event will take place in Berlin on August 31, where LG will unveil the follow-up to 2016's V20.
The image in the invitation doesn't say much, apart from the usual "save the date" and the presence of a glowing "V" in what would be the phone's wallpaper.
The only two notable tidbits are the use of black colour in the "wallpaper" and the rounded corners, which might suggest a move to OLED displays — first reported by Korean outlet ET News — and a more rounded design respectively.

OLED displays light up pixels individually, and don't need a backlit panel, which means that black pixels are actually turned off, and give a higher-fidelity, deeper black.
The curvier design would line up with previous rumours, too, such as a recent one from MySmartPrice and notable leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, which published a video that shows how the finalised device might look like.
