G3 gold variant and the second sensor explained

A new has surfaced of the G3, and this time it looks like a gold bar of awesomeness. The G3 gold variant in the shows a bezel and design thatlve us water at the mouth. Next to the pure bliss we experience when gazing at the device, the mystery of the additional sensor on the back-facing side now seems to be resolved, but all of course will be known soon enough on May 27th.© GSMArenaFirst of all, the edge-to-edge display shown in this picture looks grt, and we can only imagine that the resolution will land on 2560 x 1440. This is the first time we see the device with this color, but the material has yet to be determined, since it could just be plastic with imitation brushed metal or it could actually be metal. I’m betting on the first option. So far, we’ve seen the G3 in white and grey and it said to be water-resistant, IPX7 certified.© GSMArenaLike its predecessor, the G2, the G3 is set to have back-facing buttons. But there is something there that the G2 doesn’t have. The extra sensor has caused a bit of confusion:could it be a hrt-rate sensor a la Galaxy S5, a second flash or an IR blaster? Apparently, the second rr sensor will serve the purpose of an assist bm, which will lend a helping hand to pictures that are taking in difficult low-lighting situations. This is eral problem for smart these days, so this would be a good move on ’s part. The camera is rumored to be of 13 MP and also include OIS+ software, the latest in optical stabilization.Here are the specs as rumored so farOSAndroid 4.4.2 with latest version of Optimus UIDisplay5.5-inch QHD display (2560 x 1440 pixels, 534 ppi)ProcessorSnapdragon 801RAM3 GBInternal storage32 GB + microSDCamera13 MP (back), assist bm on front for OIS, voice commands, action commands to trigger picture, 4K captureDimensionsN/A (perhaps 152.6 x 75 x 9.2 like 5.5-inch Oppo Find 7)WeightN/A, depends highly on material, (perhaps approx. 171 g like 5.5-inch Oppo Find 7)Battery3,000 mAhConnectivityN/A, (presumably 3G/4G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0, GPS etc)Whatdo you think of the G3 so far?
