LG isai FL

[Ravynmagi]

I'm not sure what is up with the weird name. But it's a new LG phone showing up in Japan. I'm not sure if it's a high end phone or what not, but the main thing is how freaking small the bezels are and how beautiful the phone is (IMO). It takes after the G2 in design with the volume buttons on the back. But it looks like the power button has moved back to the side, which kinda protrudes from the otherwise tapered edges.

I find the latest LG designs really beautiful in it's simplicity. Here it seems they figured how to make the buttons minimalistic too. Respect to the design team from my side.

Hmm seems to make sense since there's no need for a significant top bezel since your hand won't rest there. And a super slim bottom bezel actually starts to hurt at a point since you get accidental hits.

-Where's the front facing camera? Is it just hard to see in the photos?
- The bottom bezel is not impressive by itself, compared to the G2 or Note 3. However the combined top and bottom seem to be an improvement, though it'll take actual measurements to prove how much you're 'saving'
- Side bezels seem normal
- Back material looks metallic, though for some reason doesn't seem as elegant as the M8 material? Maybe the texture difference?

Not sure where the front camera is, if it has one. Not really much space for a camera on top for sure.

The buttons on the G2 bothered me because they seemed to protrude from the back of the phone. These buttons look flush. I hope they are flush and not recessed. I'm guessing just the plastic around it is recessed to make pushing them easier.

I'm guessing it's plastic material though. To me it looks plastic. The link also has pictures of a white model. These vibrant colors don't usually come in aluminum (though they could).
