    LG G7 ThinQ Will Launch On The 3rd Of May

    The LG G7 ThinQ is one of the most anticipated flagship smartphones of 2018. The company postponed the launch of the LG G7 as the company wanted to rework on their flagship smartphone. The company has now confirmed that the LG G7 ThinQ will be launched on the 3rd of May in New York.

    A report claims that the LG G7 ThinQ will be available in Aurora Black, Platinum Grey, Moroccan Blue, Moroccan Blue (Matte), and Raspberry Rose. The availability of these colours will depend on the market.

    This will be a first for LG and its G series of flagship devices. Up until 2017, LG unveiled its flagship devices, mainly the G series at Mobile World Congress. However, this time around, the company has tried something new, in order to resuscitate its dwindling smartphone business. The LG G7 ThinQ, apart from retailing with a new moniker, will also have a few striking design changes when compared to its predecessor. One of the most talked about changes is on the front of the smartphone. The LG G7 ThinQ is expected to have an iPhone X style notch which has become one of the most imitated iPhone features so far.

    The notch will have an earpiece, front-facing camera, proximity and ambient light sensors. The LG V30 had a mediocre front-facing camera and the G7 ThinQ might have a better front-facing camera with features like Face Unlock. On the back, the smartphone might have a dual camera setup similar to LG V30, with an RGB sensor and a wide-angle sensor. This time, the G7 ThinQ might offer features like slow motion video recording and 4K video recording at 60fps. The smartphone might also come with a virtual voice assistant similar to Siri and Bixby. In fact, the smartphone might have a dedicated physical button to trigger the voice assistant.

    The LG V30+ launched in India at a price of Rs 45,000. Similarly, the LG G7 ThinQ is also expected to be priced less than Rs 50,000 to compete against the likes of the OnePlus 6 and the Asus ZenFone 5z.

    Specs Comparison: Nokia 8 Sirocco Vs Samsung Galaxy S8

    HMD Global recently launched their flagship smartphone, the Nokia 8 Sirocco in India for Rs 49,999. Nokia 8 Sirocco is a successor to the Nokia 8, which comes with a premium all-glass design. Samsung’s last year flagship, the Galaxy S8 currently retails in India for Rs 49,990, which is a head to head competitor to the Nokia 8 Sirocco.

    The Nokia 8 Sirocco is the first smartphone from HMD Global to have a curved display with wireless charging capability. The smartphone is also IP67 rated for water and dust resistance. However, the Nokia 8 sirocco does have some shortcomings. The smartphone is powered by the last generation processor, the Snapdragon 835. Also, for a 2018 flagship, the smartphone still sports a 16:9 aspect ratio, even though the Nokia 7 Plus, priced at Rs 25999, has an 18:9 aspect ratio. We can only imagine its popularity had it been powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. Despite the 16:9 aspect ratio, it has a great build and design.

    Though the Samsung Galaxy S8 is a year old flagship, it still makes sense to compare it with the latest flagship offering from Nokia. The Galaxy S8 and the Nokia 8 Sirocco are equally powerful. The Galaxy S8 and S9 have a similar design with common features like IP68 certification, wireless charging and the same Infinity Display. In fact, the difference between the Galaxy S8 and the S9 is limited to camera and processor.

    The Nokia 8 Sirocco might have an edge over the Galaxy S8 in terms of camera. The Nokia 8 Sirocco has a Zeiss branded dual camera setup with a 12MP RGB sensor with an f/1.75 aperture and a 13MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture. The smartphone supports bokeh effect and 2X lossless zoom, whereas the Galaxy S8 misses out on both the features.

    Apple recently launched the 6th Gen Apple iPad 2018 at an educational event in Chicago. The iPad 2018 is a successor to the company’s cheapest 5th Gen Apple iPad 2017. In terms of design and aesthetics, both iterations of the iPad have a same metal unibody design. The cellular LTE models have a plastic antenna band and the Wi-Fi only models have a complete metal unibody design. However, both models miss out on a laminated display, which creates an air gap between the display and the touch panel.

    The Apple iPad 2017 currently retails for Rs 25,990 for the 32GB storage variant. Similarly, the Apple iPad 2018 will be available from late April for a price of Rs 28,000. So, what are the upgrades that one can get by paying additional Rs 2,000?

    Apple iPad 2018

    The 5th Generation and the 6th Generation Apple iPads come with a 9.7 inch 2048 x 1536 px resolution display with 264 ppi. Though these have the same display, the 6th generation iPad supports input from Apple Pencil, which is missing on the 5th Gen iPad. The Apple Pencil will retail for Rs 7600 in India. Additionally, the 6th Generation Apple iPad is powered by the Apple A10 chipset, whereas the 5th Generation iPad is powered by the Apple A9 chipset. Both the iPads have 32GB and 128GB storage options with 2GB RAM.
