  • LG G7 ThinQ With An iPhone X Like Notch Leaked In Live Images

    LG G7 ThinQ With An iPhone X Like Notch Leaked In Live Images

    LG was expected to launch the LG G7 at Mobile World Congress 2018. However, days before the event, LG CEO conceded that the company will rework on its next flagship device. It was also revealed that the LG G7 was showcased behind closed doors at MWC 2018 when an Israeli publication leaked its images. Now, live images of the LG G7 have been leaked and they reveal a couple of important aspects. The LG G7 will be launched as the LG G7 ThinQ and also sport an iPhone X-like notch.

    LG G7 ThinQ

    The company launched the LG V30S ThinQ at MWC 2018, a standard LG V30+ with the new software-based AI features. Similarly, the LG G7 ThinQ is also expected to have a wide array of software-based AI capabilities, which explains the ThinQ moniker.

    There has been an industry-wide discussion about Android smartphone makers adopting the notch. OnePlus has already conceded that the OnePlus 6 will have a notch and the conversation is bound to be fueled once the LG G7 ThinQ is launched. Unfortunately, the leaked images do not reveal the bottom part of the smartphone, which means we can’t say for certain whether the G7 ThinQ will also have a chin. However, recent renders have imagined the device to sport a chin, just like the OnePlus 6 will.

    LG G7 ThinQ Specs

    The LG G7 ThinQ with model number LG-G710TM is expected to have a 6.2 inch QHD+ 2880 x 1440 px M+ LCD display with 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core chipset with 4/6GB RAM. The smartphone will have 64GB or 128GB internal storage with a dedicated micro SD card slot. The smartphone is also likely to have an IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. A CAD-based 3D render has also confirmed that the smartphone will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack.

    The smartphone will have a dual primary camera setup with a 16MP RGB sensor and a 16MP wide angle sensor with an f/1.5 aperture. However, after the Galaxy S9 was launched with a variable feature, we could see the LG G7 ThinQ sporting something similar. So far, we do not know much about the front-facing camera. It is, however, expected to have the Face Unlock feature which has slowly become a norm for all smartphones.

    LG G7 Will Have A 3.5mm Headphone Jack

    LG G7 will be the successor to the LG G6, which was launched in early 2017. Though there were rumours about the company rebranding its flagship smartphone, it is most likely to go ahead with the LG G7 moniker. A leak suggests that the LG G7 will have a 6.2 inch display based on M+ LCD technology. The smartphone is expected to launch by the end of April, initially in South Korea.

    The M+ LCD display panel uses RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, and White) liquid crystals, to offers increased brightness. These panels consume 35% less powered compared to a typical IPS LCD panel. Using this technology, the company will be able to harvest brightness similar to an OLED panel without burn-in issues. The display will follow the iPhone X style notch with cutouts for a front-facing camera, ambient light sensor and an earpiece. Additionally, the company might also implement the Face Unlock feature using a front-facing camera.

    LG G7

    A CAD-based 3D render also confirms that the LG G7 will retain 3.5mm headphone jack along with a USB type C port. Similarly, we can expect to see a hi-fi Quad DAC similar to the one seen on the LG V30+.  Like the LG G6, the smartphone has an all-glass design, which is expected to offer wireless charging capability.

    LG G7 Specs

    The LG G7 will have a 6.2 inch QHD+ 2880 x 1440 px M+ LCD display with 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core chipset with 4/6GB RAM. The device will have 64/128GB internal storage with a dedicated micro SD card.

    The device will have a dual primary camera setup with a 16MP RGB sensor and a 16MP wide angle sensor with f/1.5 aperture. However, the literature does not have a word about the variable aperture, similar to the Galaxy S9/S9+.

    LG G7 was expected to be launched at the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona. However, a few days before the event, reports surfaced that LG CEO had asked his team of engineers to work on the LG G7 from the ground up. He also conceded that LG will no longer follow a fixed launch pattern and introduce its flagship smartphones if and when necessary.

    LG G7 Design Leaked By Case Renders

    The notch is poised to be one of the most common features of upcoming Android smartphones. OnePlus has confirmed the presence of a notch on the upcoming OnePlus 6 as well. And now, an LG executive opened a new thread on Reddit to get feedback a notch. Recent LG G7 renders have revealed a notch as well and new case renders solidify the argument

    Having a notch will help smartphone makers to achieve higher screen to body ratio by altering the aesthetics of the smartphone. However, a smartphone with a notch will have a lot of compatibility issues with non-optimised apps.

    LG G7

    LG G7/G7+ Specs

    Both the devices will have 6.1 inch MLCD+ display with a 3120 x 1440 px resolution which translates to a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display will support native HDR10 content, similar to the LG G6. Under the hood, the device will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on the G7 and 6GB RAM and 128GB storage on the G7+.

    G7+

    The devices will have a dual primary camera setup similar to the LG V30+. However, the company might go with a telephoto sensor, instead of a wide angle sensor. Both the models will have a 3000 mAh battery with support for fast charging and wireless charging capability. Considering the time of the launch, these smartphones will run on Android 8 Oreo with custom LG UI.

  • JoJo Bizarre LG V30+ Special Edition Launched

The device has superficial changes like a new white theme with the show’s art engraved on the back of the device. Similarly, there are additional tweaks in themes department with JoJo-themed wallpapers. The smartphone will be available exclusively in Japan for JPY 125,000 (Rs 76,685) and the pre-orders are up on DoCoMo’s network.

  • LG G7, G7+ Design And Specifications Leaked

    LG G7, G7+ Design And Specifications Leaked

    LG unveiled its LG G6 at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017. However, this year the company skipped a major launch and instead, introduced a new variant of the LG V30+. A leaked promotional image of the upcoming LG G7/G7+ flagship smartphones sheds some light on what we can expect from the new flagships. For the first time, LG might launch a standard and a plus variant of its flagship smartphone. In fact, most of the major smartphone OEMs from Sony, Samsung, and Apple already follow this pattern.

    According to the leaked image, the company will launch the LG G7 and G7+ in June 2018. However, unlike Apple or Samsung the only difference between these models will be limited to RAM and Storage.

    The LG G7 and the G7+ might feature support for modular accessories. Interestingly enough, the LG G5 was the first LG smartphone to support modular accessories with the same tagline ‘life is good when you play more.’ Possibly, the company might re-introduce features like a user-replaceable battery, camera add-ons etc. The LG G7 and G7+ will also have the infamous notch, which is expected to house an iris scanner with additional sensors like an earpiece, proximity sensor etc.

    LG G7/G7+ Specs

    Both the devices will have 6.1 inch MLCD+ display with a 3120 x 1440 px resolution which translates to a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display will support native HDR10 content, similar to the LG G6. Under the hood, the device will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on the G7 and 6GB RAM and 128GB storage on the G7+.

    G7+

    The devices will have a dual primary camera setup similar to the LG V30+. However, the company might go with a telephoto sensor, instead of a wide angle sensor. Both the models will have a 3000 mAh battery with support for fast charging and wireless charging capability. Considering the time of the launch, these smartphones will run on Android 8 Oreo with custom LG UI.

  • LG Folder Flip Smartphone Officially Launched

    LG Folder Flip Smartphone Officially Launched

    We are slowly and steadily moving closer to that truly bezel-less smartphone. A display wrapped around the front of the phone with no bezels for distraction. But, smartphones or phones, in general, did not start out like that. Flip phones, in particular, used to be extremely famous before touchscreen devices came into being. While we have certainly moved on from that design, some companies continue to launch flip phones even today.

    Samsung recently launched the W2018 in South Korea which was a flip smartphone running Android OS. Now, LG seems to be catching up on this throwback trend with the LG Folder flip phone.

    Specifications of LG Folder

    The LG Folder comes with a 3.0 inch WQVGA touch-enabled display. Under the hood, the phone is powered by MediaTek chipset 1.1 GHz Quad-core chipset with 1GB RAM and 8GB onboard storage. Similarly, the storage is expandable using micro SD card up to 32GB.

    LG Folder

    The device supports FM Radio and comes with a dedicated button to help the elderly users. The device has a 1740 mAh battery with a micro USB port for charging and data syncing. Similarly, the battery offers up to 350 minutes of continues voice call with a standby time of 260 hours, which is impressive for a battery of this size.

    The device has a single 5MP camera, located on the back of the device which supports autofocus. However, the camera misses out on the flashlight.

    The smartphone supports 3G and 4G connectivity. However, it misses out on the 2G capabilities. Additionally, the smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Hotspot an Bluetooth for the wireless connectivity.

  • Google Assistant Powered LG ThinQ Smart Display Now Available For Pre-Order

    Google Assistant Powered LG ThinQ Smart Display Now Available For Pre-Order

    Evern since Google launched the Pixel 2 and the iPhone X came with a Bionic chipset, the trend of AI has been on a rise. Companies like Apple, Amazon, and Samsung have their own voice assistants, while the others have incorporated Google Assistant. At the CES 2018, LG announced the ThinQ Smart Display with Google Assistant and ThinQ Smart Assistant speaker. Both smart home accessories are now available on B&H for pre-order in the USA.

    Pricing and availability

    The LG ThinQ Smart Display with Google Assistant is priced at US$ 296.99 and the ThinQ Smart Assistant speaker is priced at US$ 196.99. Both models are available for pre-order. However, the website has not mentioned the shipping date.

    Features of LG ThinQ Smart Display

    The device has an 8 inch touchscreen display powered by LG ThinQ Artificial Intelligence. The device offers a premium sound clarity using Meridian Audio’s advanced technologies. Similarly, the device also comes with Google Assistant and support for Chromecast. The smart speaker has a front-facing camera. LG also claims that the device offers an immersive smart speaker experience using a touchscreen display. In fact, the speaker setup can be completed without connecting to a smartphone. However, just like every other smart speaker, the ThinQ Smart Display with Google Assistant requires an active Wi-Fi connection.

    Features of LG ThinQ Smart Speaker

    The device is similar to the most of the smart speakers. It comes in a cylindrical shape powered by  LG ThinQ Artificial Intelligence. Similarly, the speaker also supports Google Assistant and comes with a dedicated button on the top with volume and pause/play button. The smart speaker is certified to support Hi-Res Audio (192kHz/24bit) with built-in Google Assistant and Google Chromecast.

  • LG G7, G7 Plus Could Be Launched In May 2018

    LG G7, G7 Plus Could Be Launched In May 2018

    The LG G7 was expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2018), similar to its predecessor. However, LG announced its plan to rework on its flagship smartphone strategy. The CEO of LG Mobile conceded that the company would now launch smartphones as and when it deems fit. While reports claimed that the LG G7 was completely rehashed a few days before Mobile World Congress 2018, it was showcased behind closed doors.

    Leaked images of the LG G7 revealed a vertically placed dual-camera setup and an iPhone X like notch. While it is possible that this was just a prototype, more reports have solidified the counter-argument. A new report from in ETNews claims that the LG G7 and G7 Plus will be launched in May 2018. Also, the devices will be very similar to the images leaked at MWC 2018.

    Asus Zenfone 5Z

    This means that the LG G7 and its Plus sibling will join an increasingly long list of iPhone copycats on the market. MWC 2018 saw a lot of smartphone makers take the Apple iPhone X route. But, without really justifying the need for a notch. However, LG is still one of the most renowned mobile manufacturers in the world and wouldn’t just put a notch on their device because it’s a “trend”.

    The LG G7 and 7 Plus will also have the AI camera found on the LG V30S ThinQ. The devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset and feature a dual-camera setup on the back. If LG does go with a notch, the company could also introduce a proprietary Face Unlock feature as well.

    Apple

    Conclusion

    When the LG G7 and G7 Plus are launched, the devices will usher in a new strategy for LG. The company is also expected to push the launch of the LG G40 to later in the year instead of its traditional September launch. Whether the new strategy along with a drastic design shift will work in favour of LG or not is to be seen.

    OnePlus 6

    It is also worth noting that the OnePlus 6 expected to be launched in June 2018. It will also have a notch and a new glass design at a price similar to the OnePlus 5T.

  • The LG G7 Will Have An iPhone X Like Notch

    The LG G7 Will Have An iPhone X Like Notch

    At the recently concluded MWC 2018, LG unveiled the V30S ThinQ. This is not a completely new flagship instead, it is exactly like the LG V30 with an AI camera app. However, it is fair to assume that LG had much better plans for one of the largest mobile events in the world. The LG G7 was expected to be launched as a 2018 flagship smartphone.

    That, however, did not happen as the company decided to overhaul its next flagship. The CEO of LG Mobiles conceded that the company would no longer follow a pattern for launching smartphones. This paved the way for a refresh of the LG V30 with trendy AI camera capabilities. However, the LG V30S ThinQ with its unusually long name was not the only LG device present at MWC 2018.

    A leaked report suggests that the company had a plan to launch the flagship LG G7 at MWC 2018. In fact, it was even showed off behind closed doors. However, an Israeli publication managed to record a video of the upcoming LG G7 and it has astonishing features.

    Renders

    Studying the leaked video TechnoBuffalo and leaker, Benjamin Geskin have come up with renders of the G7. The renders reveal the possible design of the LG G7 (or whatever the company decides to call it). The most striking design aspect of the smartphone is the notch on the display. MWC 2018 saw a lot of smartphones launch with a notch. So much so that the iPhone X no longer looks like the odd one out.

    Apart from the notch, the dual-cameras will be placed vertically on the back of the device. However, the placement is different from the ones found on the iPhone X. The fingerprint sensor will be placed just below the camera module. Similar to a lot of recent LG flagship smartphones, it will have an all-glass build with an aluminium frame.

    Expected Specifications

    The LG G7 is expected to have a 6 inch pOLED display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution. Until Corning comes up with Gorilla Glass 6, we expect most flagship smartphones to have the Gorilla Glass 5 on top.

    Under the hood, the G7 will have the Snapdragon 845 chipset. One of the primary issues with the LG G6 was its older chipset. By no means was the Snapdragon 821 a bad chipset but, the Galaxy S8 with the Snapdragon 835 made the G6 look archaic. However, that won’t happen this time around as Samsung no longer has exclusive access to the new chipset.

    LG G7
    LG G7 Leaked Images

    Features like water resistance, wireless charging and fast charging are expected to be retained. The dual-camera setup on the back will be placed vertically, this time around. The implementation is expected to be the same as the G6 and V30. A regular lens coupled with a wide-angle lens. This is also something that has been appreciated by many LG users.

    Conclusion

    There is no denying that LG has seen a rapid decline in its smartphone business. Veterans like Apple, Samsung and new entrants like Xiaomi and OnePlus have had much more popular products in the market. However, a rebranding of sorts and high-end specifications might sway consumers toward an LG flagship device.

  • Samsung Galaxy S9 Vs LG V30+ Vs Sony Xperia XZ1: Specs Comparison

    Samsung Galaxy S9 Vs LG V30+ Vs Sony Xperia XZ1: Specs Comparison

    Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 in India on the 6th of March, for the starting price of Rs 57,900. The latest flagship offering from Samsung has a premium glass design with new hardware. In fact, this is the first smartphone to have a camera with variable aperture. The smartphone is powered by the Exynos 9810 Octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB or 256GB storage. Similarly, the storage is also expandable up to 400GB using a micro SD card.

    The LG V30+ is the one smartphone, that can match the premium Samsung flagship smartphone design. The smartphone is priced at Rs 44,990 and offers a premium glass design with an aluminium mid-frame. The LG V30+ is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. Just like the Galaxy S9, the storage of the V30+ is expandable using a micro SD card. One of the main features of the smartphone is its IP68 certification with MIL-STD 810G military certification.

    Another smartphone that is priced close to the LG V30+ is the Sony Xperia Xz1. Though the smartphone has an outdated boxy design, it has an impressive camera. The smartphone is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage. The Sony Xperia Xz1 is priced at Rs 44,200 and available across the e-commerce websites.

  • LG X4 With HD DMB TV Officially Launched

    LG X4 With HD DMB TV Officially Launched

    LG launched the LG X4 mid-tier Android smartphone in South Korea. The LG X4 is an affordable version of the LG X4+, with similar specifications. The unique selling point of the smartphone is the Digital multimedia broadcasting support. However, unlike LG X4+, this doesn’t have a rugged design.

    Pricing and availability

    The LG X4 is already available in South Korea in Black and Gold colour variants. The smartphone is priced at 297,000 won or Rs 17,780.

    Specifications

    The LG X4 has a 5.3 inch 1280 x 720px 16:9 aspect ratio display. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 Quad-core chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB onboard storage. Similarly, the storage is expandable using micro SD card slot.

    The smartphone has an 8 MP primary camera with an LED flash and a 5 MP front-facing camera.Similarly, the video recording on the front-facing camera is limited to 720, and the primary camera can record up to 1080p@30fps. In fact, the fingerprint scanner can be used as the camera shutter button.LG X4

    The device does support wireless HD DMB TV (Digital multimedia broadcasting), which allows to stream free TV channels on the smartphone. In fact, it doesn’t use any kind of internet connection. Interestingly, this smartphone also supports LG Pay, which can be used to make cardless/cashless payments using the built-in NFC chip.

    The smartphone runs on Android 7.1 Nougat with custom LG UI skin. The phone does support Wifi, Bluetooth, and NFC with support for LTE networks. Finally, the smartphone has a 3000 mAh non-user replaceable Li-ion battery with a micro USB port.

    Conclusion

    The LG X4 has a right choice of specifications for an entry-level or a mid-tier Android smartphone. The pricing, however, seems a bit off for the price tag of the smartphone. However, this phone also offers DMB TV which is missing in most of the modern smartphones.

  • Leaked: Possibly Cancelled LG G7 Design And Specifications

    Leaked: Possibly Cancelled LG G7 Design And Specifications

    LG is rebuilding its flagship smartphone for 2018. In fact, the company might completely ditch the G series. However, that does not mean that the company didn’t have a plan for the LG G7.

    Last year LG launched the LG G6 with a year old processor. Though the smartphone had a lot of potentials, it didn’t do well in terms of business. Since LG doesn’t want to repeat the mistake, it is taking its time to shape up a new smartphone with exciting features and specifications.

    An Israeli publication has posted a hands-on video of the alleged LG G7 that could have been.

    Details of the LG G7

    The LG G7 looks like a refined version of the LG V30+, which is the current flagship smartphone from LG. As the name suggests, this would have been the flagship device from the South Korean smartphone manufacturer. However, this concept didn’t make the cut thanks to LG’s revamped plans.

    As it is clearly visible, LG directly copied the notch from Apple iPhone X and pasted on to the LG G7. However, like the Asus ZenFone 5, the notch might be used just for styling. The specifications of the smartphone are also on-par with the latest Android flagship smartphones of 2018.

    The device has a 6 inch pOLED QHD+ 3,120×1,440px display with a notch. Under the hood, the smartphone was powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with 4/6GB RAM and 64/128GB storage. Like every other LG smartphone, the G7 does have a micro SD card slot.

    The smartphone has a dual 16 MP cameras at the back with f/1.6 aperture. However, the primary lens has OIS and the secondary lens didn’t. The front-facing 8 MP wide-angle sensor is hidden in the notch.

    Finally, the phone has a 3000 mAh battery, which fast charging and wireless charging support. The OS was based on Android 8 Oreo with custom LG skin on the top.

    Expected changes on the upcoming LG flagship

    LG has given the code name for the flagship smartphone as Judy. The company has planned to go with MLCD+ display technology instead of OLED for added brightness and battery conservation. Similarly, the smartphone is also expected to offer premium DTS:X and boom box feature for the improved stereo experience. However, just like the LG G7, the Judy will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset.

  • LG V30S ThinQ Announced With AI Capabilities

    LG V30S ThinQ Announced With AI Capabilities

    Smartphone makers like Samsung and Xiaomi are getting ready to launch their flagship smartphones with Snapdragon 845 at MWC 2018. However, LG has taken a different route by launching the LG V30 with a new software update as the LG V30S ThinQ. In fact, there is a plus version of the model, which offers 256GB storage.

    Though these smartphones have been officially launched, the company hasn’t unveiled the pricing or availability.

    What’s new?

    The company has stressed a lot on the improved camera capabilities and voice recognition, which were missing on the Lg V30.

    The new camera on the LG V30S ThinQ comes with the AI capability called, Vision AI. The vision Ai offers three new features called AI Cam, QLens, and Bright Mode.

    LG V30+ Alpha
    LG V30

    The AI Cam’s dedicated mission is to analyse the subject, which helps the camera to choose proper shooting mood. These modes include portrait, flower, sunrise, city, animal, and Human. With the machine learning, the AI camera will get better over the time.

    The QLens comes handy for those who shop a lot. Scanning a bar-code on the product will get you the complete information about the product. However, this depends on the information provided by the manufacturer. In fact, the company claims that it also shows similar products with the lower price tags. The QLens can also be used to get detailed information on the buildings and landmarks.

    Bright mode deals with the low light photography. The combination of the f/1.6 aperture lens and Bright mode algorithms improve the images quality taken in low light situations.
