After the launch of the G7 ThinQ, LG is now gearing up for its upcoming 2019 flagship already. We introduce you the LG G8 ThinQ, with 4K resolution display and 6GB RAM. Keep reading for more info now!

The early stage of LG G8 ThinQ

With the LG G7 ThinQ now on sale, it’s only natural that the rumour mill begins focusing on the company’s 2019 flagship – LG G8 ThinQ. Fortunately, we were able to grab a hold of some of its specs for you. For starter, our source claims that the handset is likely to arrive with a 4k resolution display, although most people know that LG has always had a thing for LCD panels. Hence, the tipster failed to mention why the company would make all these changes.

But the most logical reason would be related to virtual reality technology. After all, the 4K panel would significantly improve the viewing experience. Thus, it could potentially attract a whole new range of customers that are looking for a smartphone capable of displaying high-quality VR content. Nevertheless, a focus on VR next year would certainly be a bold change for the brand. However, it is worth noticing that the decision to include a 4K display may simply be a marketing strategy.

Under the hood, LG G8 ThinQ specs can include a 5.5-inch Full screen and take power from the Snapdragon 845 chipset. The device’s storage provides 6GB RAM, 64GB ROM, with 400GB of expandable inbuilt storage. Besides, LG G8 camera offers Dual 18MP primary cam and an 8MP secondary snapper. Lastly, it bears a non-removable Li-Ion 3,300mAh juice box and runs on Android P system.

LG G8 ThinQ release date and price

We believe LG G8 ThinQ price could be somewhere around Rs. 57,251 ~ $850. But, considering the handset is still at least one year away, it’s still too early to guarantee the accuracy of any of these speculations. After all, LG’s focus at the moment is to be shipping as many G7 ThinQ units as possible, as well as preparing the future launch of the V40 ThinQ. So be patient and stay tuned with us for more updates about this device!
