LG released a teaser spot on its Spanish blog that partially reveals the next generation of its popular Chocolate handset. According to LG, the new Chocolate will improve usability while maintaining the style and minimalistic design of its predecessor. A handful of carefully crafted profile shots reveal this sleek, simple design — and little else. Drooling over the design and want details? You will have to wait a little longer unfortunately as additional information on this sweet handset will be forthcoming in August. Hit the jump for a few more photos.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
