LG has confirmed to Android Authority that the "LG G5 SE is indeed the LG G5" that's meant for select markets including Latin America, China, and other regions. LG appears to be following the lead of HTC which on Tuesday unveiled the HTC 10 and HTC 10 Lifestyle smartphones catering to different markets. The HTC 10 smartphone in the US packs the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC while the HTC 10 Lifestyle comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 SoC.

As for the specifications of the flagship, the LG G5 features a 5.3-inch QHD display (1440x2560 pixels) featuring always-on display technology.

It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded using a microSD card. It sports a 16-megapixel and an 8-megapixel rear camera, with the former featuring a 78-degree lens and the other with a 135-degree wide-angle lens. On the front side, there's an 8-megapixel camera.
