According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technobuffalo.com\/2014\/10\/15\/lg-g4-features-specs-camera-unveiled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Techno Buffalo<\/a>, a leaked report indicates, &#8220;LG&#8217;s new camera module features an increased correction angle of 0.7 for stabilizing shaky video and snapping quick photos\u2014up from 0.5 on the G3. Meanwhile, that 20.7 MP camera is a pretty big step up from last year&#8217;s 13 MP shooter, which we actually thought did a pretty great job.&#8221; They also note that Sony uses a similar lens on its flagship phones, which are regarded as some of the best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note 4\/5-worthy Stylus Embedded<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several rumors suggest that LG could return with new stylus technology superior to that used in the LG G3. <a href=\"http:\/\/phandroid.com\/2014\/12\/08\/lg-g-pen-trademark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phandroid<\/a> caught wind of a &#8220;G Pen&#8221; trademark listing. This could be a standalone product or it could be included with the LG G4 in an attempt to compete against the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and its S-Pen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4K Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the LG G3, the company was one of the first to introduce a 1440p Quad HD resolution on a 5.5-inch phone display. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidpit.com\/lg-g4-release-date-price-specs-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AndroidPIT<\/a> reports that resolution may be upped to a 4K display in the G4 to better compete with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6, which will reportedly also have a 4K display. AndroidPIT does note that such a high pixel density display doesn&#8217;t appeal to all users, especially when constrained to a smartphone-sized screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eye\/Retina Scanner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is likely that the LG will include the fingerprint scanner already found on many of its latest handsets, including the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gazellethehorn.com\/thehorn\/2014\/06\/16\/lg-g3-meta-review\/\" rel=\"noopener\">LG G3<\/a>. AndroidPIT feels the company could also expand on that technology with an eye\/retina scanner. If included, LG would be the first to incorporate retina recognition in a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Which of these rumors do you hope prove true in the new LG G4?<\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of <a
