LG’s V-series phones traditionally aim to raise the bar in film and photography features. Perhaps it’s no surprise then that the brand new V40 ThinQ features 5 cameras and endless options when shooting film and photos.
LG has announced the release of its new flagship smartphone in January, the V40 ThinQ.
The latest from LG follows many of the latest smartphone trends, adding a triple-camera layout on the back that combines a 12 megapixel telephoto zoom lens, a 16 MP super wide-angle lens and a standard 12 MP camera.
The cameras will also have a triple-shot function, which means all three cameras take the same picture and offer you the choice of three different formats. Or, alternatively, you can choose to have the device construct a short video clip out of the three images.
On the front, there are two selfie cameras, which can create the blurry background effect (Bokeh), among others.
The V40 Thinq has almost no bezels around the 6.4-inch OLED display with its QHD+ resolution (3120 x 1440), and is very thin at 7.7 millimetres, only weighing 169 grams.
The device has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and 6 GB of data storage (RAM). It also comes with either 64 GB or 128 GB of memory, which can be extended with a memory card to up to 2 TB.
The V40 ThinQ will be released at the end of January, an unusual time to release a new device, since most manufacturers aim to release products that can be bought as Christmas presents.
It will not run the latest Android 9 operating system, and will initially just feature the older Android 8.1, which is also not the norm for new phones. Prices have not yet been confirmed, but are expected to be between 700 and 900 dollars in the US. – dpa
