This is a successor to the LG V50 ThinQ and many design aspects including the Dual Screen attachment provision have been retained. The new phone will be out with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC but the South Korean company itself has highlighted the camera section in the device.
High-End Specifications
LG has not cut corners while equipping this new device, the LG V60 ThinQ. The tall display measures 6.8inches with an OLED panel and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The aspect ratio is 20.5:9. The Full HD+ screen offers a resolution of 2,460 x 1,080 pixels. There is a waterdrop notch to house the front camera.
As mentioned, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC will be the processor and the Qualcomm X55 modem ensures the phone can be connected to a 5G network. LG clarifies that the phone will support both the mmWave and sub-6GHz technologies. The processor gets RAM support of 8GB and an internal storage capacity of 128GB. There’s a provision for a microSD card. The Android 10 OS out of the box will be the operating system. The display has a fingerprint scanner under it.
As for the camera, the primary shooter is a 64MP sensor and has a 13MP wide-angle sensor for support. The third camera is a time of flight (ToF) sensor. The front camera for selfies is 10MP. Some of the special features of this camera setup include the capability of 8K video recording with the “Steady Cam” feature that stabilizes the video being shot even if your hands are not steady.
