LG G7 ThinQ Hands-on: Improvements where it matters
The LG G7 ThinQ was officially launched today. It's a power-house with a large 6.1" super bright display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, and booming speakers. Oh, and it has a notch. Is the phone worth your attention? Let's find out.
By all accounts, the LG G7 ThinQ has had a troubled history. The Korean company's mobile division intended to launch the flagship at Mobile World Congress 2018 in March, reportedly, but put the breaks on plans after LG chief Jo Seong-jin ordered the team to "[start] from scratch" and find a "strong[er] selling point". For a time, it wasn't clear when the LG G6's successor would see the light of day—after LG posted a whopping 233 billion won ($219 million) quarterly loss in January (the 11th consecutive down quarter), Mr. Senong-jin cryptically told reporters at the Consumer Electronics Show that LG would launch smartphones only "when they [were] needed".
The LG G7 ThinQ is official: here are the specifications
LG launched the LG G7 ThinQ at an event in New York on Thursday. The phone has a 6.1-inch Quad HD+ display with a notch, dual rear cameras, and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC.
After months of rumors and leaks, LG officially announced the LG G7 ThinQ today. The phone is the successor to last year's LG G6. It has a refreshed design, a display notch, the latest-generation system-on-chip (in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845), and a new dual camera setup.
