LG G7+ ThinQ
LG on Wednesday announced the launch of two smartphones in latest flagship range - LG G7 ThinQ and LG G7+ ThinQ - at an event held in New York. Key highlights of the handset include Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, wireless charging support, MIL-STD 810G compliance with IP68 certification, and face recognition. In terms of audio, the LG G7 ThinQ series comes with a Boombox speaker and Hi-Fi Quad DAC. It also borrows AI Camera features from the recently launched variant, the LG V30S ThinQ. As with most LG launches, the LG G7 ThinQ price will be announced locally closer to availability.
LG G7+ ThinQ availability
LG G7+ ThinQ will initially arrive in South Korea, followed by availability in major markets in Asia, North America, Europe, and Latin America in the coming days. The G7+ ThinQ will be sold in New Platinum Grey, New Aurora Black, New Moroccan Blue, and Raspberry Rose colour variants.
LG G7+ ThinQ features
As previously rumoured, the LG G7+ ThinQ sports an extra physical button - under the volume control - to activate Google Assistant with one tap and Google Lens with two. Holding down the button will allow for instant conversations with Google Assistant. The phone also sports Super Far Field Voice Recognition that allows it to hear commands for Google Assistant for up to 5 metres away. LG G7+ ThinQ is claimed to be the first smartphone to offer DTS:X that implements virtual 3D sound for all content.
LG also says it enhanced the AI CAM features that debuted with LG V30S ThinQ, and now offers 19 shooting modes for more intelligence-optimised photos, and three effect presets. Low-light photography is also improved, and the rear camera supports Bokeh effects and a Live Photo mode as well.
Specifications
Introduction and Platform
The LG G7+ ThinQ is the successor to the powerful LG G6 and is a flagship offering from the South Korea-based smartphone manufacturer. The device ships with power-packed features that make it stand out in the existing smartphone market. Although the LG G7+ ThinQ hasn't been altered much in terms of design, the smartphone sports a full metal body with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The LG G7+ ThinQ owing to the metal unibody design and sleek looks oozes a premium feel.
It runs the LG Optimus UX 7.0 UI wrapped under the Android 8.0 operating system out of the box.
Display and Performance
On top, sits a 6.10-inch QHD AMOLED display which is great even when placed under bright sunlight. The AMOLED screen is coupled with excellent viewing angles which make gaming and watching videos more delightful. The screen also comes with Corning's Gorilla Glass protection that protects the screen against minor scratches.
The LG G7 ThinQ is designed to ensure a smooth and lag-free smartphone experience as it is armed with a 2.5GHz octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB of RAM. You can also work on multiple apps at the same time without affecting the performance of the smartphone.
Camera and Connectivity
The LG G7 ThinQ ships with a dual 16+16-megapixel rear camera which comes with a dual-LED flash that helps in capturing images and shooting videos even when the lighting conditions are not favourable for photography. On the front, the smartphone is equipped with an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter which aids video calling and simultaneously can also be used for selfies.
The LG G7 ThinQ is bundled with all the standard connectivity options which include 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, dual SIM support, NFC, and a microUSB Type-C reversible port.
Battery and Storage
LG has upped the battery capacity in the LG G7+ ThinQ; the device is fuelled by a non-removable Li-Ion 3,000mAh cell which can easily keep the device functioning for an entire day. If that does not sound enough, there is support for fast charging that can recharge the battery on the device in a jiffy.
For storing personal files and installing apps, there is 128GB of onboard storage space which can be expanded further up to 2TB via a microSD card.
