LG G8 ThinQ / G8s ThinQ Specs & Price: Phone Powered By Snapdragon 855, Triple Rear Cam

Today at the MWC 2019, LG unveiled the V50 ThinQ 5G as well as the G8 ThinQ and the G8s ThinQ.

The LG G8 ThinQ and G8s ThinQ are both powered by the new Snapdragon 855 coupled with 6GB of RAM (no 5G modem, though) but differ in screen size, cameras and batteries.

The LG G8 ThinQ has a 6.1-inch 3120x1440px OLED display, a 3,500mAh battery and a 12MP standard + 12MP telephoto + 16MP ultrawide triple camera.

The LG G8s ThinQ has a larger 6.2-inch OLED of inferior 2248x1080px resolution, a 3,550mAh battery and a triple camera consisting of a 12MP standard + 12MP telephoto and 13MP ultrawide camera.

LG will also have a G8 ThinQ with a dual rear camera for specific regions and markets.

Both the LG G8 ThinQ and the LG G8s ThinQ come with an 8MP selfie camera and a second ToF (time of flight) 3D camera that achieves Hand ID, which reads the thickness and other characteristics of the veins in your palm to unlock the phone. The 3D camera is also used for more secure Face unlock that won’t be fooled with a two-dimensional photo of your face. You’ll also be able to control the LG G8 ThinQ through air gestures called Air Motion. Waving a hand or pinching the air will allow for taking calls, increasing and decreasing volume or taking screenshots while you’re driving, for instance.

The G8 ThinQ will come in Carmine Red, New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue.
