Select LG partners in the US on Friday began taking pre-orders on the company’s new G8 ThinQ flagship smartphone and will ship the product on April 11.The new handset comes with an OLED display, is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship SoC, features a high-capacity battery. At least initially, LG’s allies will only offer the G8 ThinQ with a dual-module rear camera in the US, perhaps leaving the triple-module G8S ThinQ for later in the year.
Equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen featuring a 3120×1440 resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, the LG G8 ThinQ looks very similarly to its predecessor and features a glossy unibody design. The smartphone is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM as well as 128 GB of NAND flash storage (expandable using a microSD card). As for connectivity, the smartphone supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G/LTE, GPS/AGPS+GLONASS+BDS, NFC, as well as a USB Type-C port. The device features a built-in 3500-mAh battery that can be charged wirelessly.
