We can’t verify the authenticity of the video, but it seems a little far-fetched to believe that even LG diehards out there would’ve been able to toil away making a very legit-looking promo piece for the company’s recently-teased new Chocolate in such a short period of time — so we’re tentatively going to say we think we’re looking at the real thing here. That said, what we’ve got is nothing short of drool-worthy: the rumored 21:9 800 x 345 display appears real (which is said in the video to be 4 inches diagonal), plus there’s a gorgeous Flash-based 3D UI, multitouch, AGPS, WiFi, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and a glass screen surface that’s said to be scratch-proof, all packed into an impossibly thin case. Yes, we know everyone’s been trying to sound the dumbphone death knell for years now — but frankly, you’d have to have a grossly miscalibrated monitor to not have a special place in your heart what you’re seeing here. Follow the break for the quite-possibly-authentic video in full.
