After Xiaomi, Huawei, and Nokia, LG has also introduced its latest smartphones at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The South Korean tech giant has added the LG G8 ThinQ and V50 ThinQ at the event. Both of the brand’s new flagships are loaded with Qualcomm’s latest top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 processor. Notably, the V50 ThinQ has arrived as the company’s first smartphone with 5G connectivity. In addition, the new V series offering also sports a modular design that lets you attach an additional screen to it. LG G8 ThinQ
The LG G8 ThinQ will be available in three colour variants including Carmine Red, New Aurora Black, and New Moroccan Blue. For the V50 ThinQ’s launch, LG has partnered with 10 major telcos in markets where 5G service will be launched this year, including the US, South Korea, Australia as well as several European countries. However, the brand hasn’t yet revealed pricing and availability details of any of its new smartphones at the moment.
Talking about the LG G8 ThinQ first, similar to its predecessor, the phone has a notch above the screen and a small chin. Just like the G7 ThinQ, the new model gets a dual camera setup at the rear, but it is stacked horizontally instead of vertically. The smartphone is equipped with a 6.1-inch FullVision OLED display with a resolution of 1,440 x 3,120 pixels. Just like the latest flagships from many brands, the G8 ThinQ also utilises Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 processor, aided by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.
