It’s also worth noting that the trademark registration might even end up meaning nothing. It wouldn’t be the first time that a company has registered a trademark without actually using it, and while it would be disappointing to LG’s fans, it’s a possibility.
If that’s not the new name for the G4 Pro though, then this leaves the question of what’s going on with the G4 Pro itself. Is the device coming soon, and is it going to get a rebranding? This might not sound so important, but it will actually matter in the long run.
Because the market is changing a lot right now, and trends come and go every day. Larger phones are quite popular at the moment and a new strong release in this market niche could help push that trend even further.
And with that, other manufacturers may follow suit and end up focusing on this style of device more actively. But on the other hand, if it turns out that the new G4 is not meant to be a direct competitor for the Galaxy Note 5, the market might continue to settle into its current state, focusing on medium-sized devices with unusual quirks and gimmicks like extra screen controls and voice input. Things that aren’t mutually exclusive with phablet designs, but still a separate area of development.
