Man, I hope not. And, yes, I'm serious. Plastic is a better material for a phone. Doesn't dent, better reception, lighter...

Interesting

Thats pretty interesting because if this is a metal body then where will the antennas go for reception. for example on the htc m8 and m7 the had plastic lines on the back so they could put the antennas but this phone doesnt have any? hmmm very interesting.

I prefer plastic if it's gonna be lighter. Polycarbonate is still more durable than metals imho.
However, I hope we don't have glossy finishings on the G3.

Anyways, the post says 2GB RAM, which we all know is untrue. How to trust that twitter post?

Well yea.. our local SG site also reported this, taken from a dutch site (prolly the same)
http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-lgs-website-reveals-full-specs-and-photos-g3-smartphone

Hopefully they do have 2 variants running concurrently.. as 3GB would be a nice upgrade.
Also, metallic cover and wireless charging don't go together. I wonder how it works here...

From metal might be the phone frame that supports all the component, just like Xperia Z1 and Z2 and not the whole body like HTC One. I bet the silver frame we can see in the pictures is the metal they are talking about.
