LG unveiled the LG G6, the first phone with an 18:9 resolution display during Mobile World Congress last year. The G6 is now due for replacement. With the Mobile World Congress about to happen again in less than a month, A render of the upcoming LG G7 has appeared and if legit, it tells us a little about the front of the phone. The LG flagship features an 18:9 resolution display and even smaller bezels than the last year. The render also unveils the dual-camera setup on the front. LG is reportedly waiting to use the Qualcomm's new top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 chipset, so they might delay the launch of the LG G7.
Last year, LG with the LG G6 had to make a sacrifice and launch the G6 with the previous generation Snapdragon 821 SoC. This was due to a deal between Qualcomm and Samsung that gave Samsung the ability to launch the first phone with the Snapdragon 835 on the market. While, there were rumours that the LG would have to do the same again and use the Snapdragon 835 for the LG G7, more recent speculation disapprove that. It is now rumoured LG will delay the launch of the LG G7 for the ability to put Snapdragon 845 under the hood.

LG recently caused a little ripple in the market by announcing that it wont release any new smartphones in the market unless and until "it is needed," whatever that means. In addition to that, it won't release new models during a certain time period just to match the release dates of its competitors mainly Samsung. The company is also planning to get rid of the 'G' brand name for its flagships. So the next LG flagship might be the LG 7.
