The new LG G8 ThinQ will be made official at Mobile World Congress later this month and now we have some pricing details on the device.
According to a recent report, the handset will retail for CAD $1,199 in Canada, which is about $908 at the current exchange rate. The handset should cost around $900 in the US. This pricing positions the LG G8 ThinQ in the premium smartphone market, competing with other flagship devices from brands like Samsung, Apple, and Google.
Specifications and Features
The new LG G8 ThinQ is rumored to come with a 6.1 inch QHD+ display, which is expected to deliver vibrant colors and sharp details, making it ideal for media consumption and gaming. The display technology is likely to be OLED, which LG has been known to use in its high-end devices, offering deep blacks and excellent contrast ratios.
Under the hood, the LG G8 ThinQ will apparently feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. This chipset is one of the most powerful available, providing excellent performance for multitasking, gaming, and other demanding applications. Paired with 6GB of RAM, the device should handle most tasks with ease and offer a smooth user experience.
Innovative Camera Technology
Last week, LG also revealed that the device would come with an Infineon Technologies Time of Flight (ToF) front-facing camera. This advanced camera technology is designed to improve facial recognition and augmented reality (AR) applications. The ToF camera works by measuring the time it takes for light to bounce off objects and return to the sensor, allowing for more accurate depth sensing and 3D mapping.
In addition to the ToF camera, the LG G8 ThinQ is expected to feature a versatile rear camera setup. While specific details about the rear cameras have not been confirmed, it is likely that LG will include multiple lenses to offer a range of photography options, such as wide-angle, telephoto, and possibly even a macro lens.
Additional Features and Expectations
The LG G8 ThinQ is also expected to come with a range of other features that are standard in flagship smartphones. These may include a large battery with fast charging capabilities, wireless charging, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The device is also likely to run on the latest version of Android, with LG’s custom skin on top, offering a range of software enhancements and unique features.
One of the key selling points of the LG G8 ThinQ could be its audio capabilities. LG has a history of focusing on high-quality audio in its smartphones, and the G8 ThinQ is expected to continue this trend. The device may feature a high-fidelity DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for superior sound quality, as well as stereo speakers for an immersive audio experience.
We will have more information about the new LG G8 ThinQ smartphone when it is made official later this month. The official announcement at Mobile World Congress will likely provide detailed specifications, feature demonstrations, and availability information.
As the smartphone market becomes increasingly competitive, the LG G8 ThinQ will need to offer compelling features and performance to stand out. With its rumored specifications and innovative camera technology, it has the potential to be a strong contender in the premium segment.
