There is less left for the Korean manufacturer to show us its new flagship. It is not the first time we have talked to you about first details of the LG G8 ThinQ And now we can confirm what this expected device will be like, which will most likely see the light of day on February 24 at an event scheduled by the Korean firm within the framework of MWC 2019. And yes, the design of the LG G8 ThinQ is already a reality.
Although initially a notch in the shape of a drop of water was expected, as we can see in the image that heads these lines, finally the LG G8 ThinQ design will not have this element. The reason? the notch will be larger but because it includes new sensors to give a really curious use to the device.
The LG G8 will hit the market with On-Screen Sound technology
And it is that in the same announcement of LG to promote its press conference scheduled for the Mobile World Congress 2019, the Seoul-based manufacturer boasts a device that will not be necessary to touch to use it and, seeing the size of the notch on the LG G8 ThinQ screen, it is clear that we can surely control the device through gestures.
This is the design of the LG G8 ThinQ with a large notch on the screen
As you can see in this image that the XDA guys have leaked, we can see that the notch on the device screen has different sensors. On the one hand we have the front camera of the device, something logical and expected, but the other sensors are a complete surprise.
On the one hand it is clear that the LG G8 ThinQ design includes a fingerprint reader on the back. This has been a great disappointment, especially if we consider that the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have a biometric sensor integrated into its screen. And knowing that its great rival would incorporate this component, it is clear that the Samsung phone already leaves with an advantage.
In return, we can be almost assured that the LG G8 ThinQ will have a facial recognition system really powerful, which will allow you to do without the fingerprint reader, although it will still be available to perform certain functions. But we will have the big surprise with the rest of the sensors that the front of the next workhorse of the Seoul-based firm incorporates and that may be the big surprise of the year.
We don't know how the gesture system of the LG G8 ThinQ will work, but it is clear that it has to be something quite new, especially if we take into account how he announced his particular press conference with this enigmatic video. And it must be quite an advance, especially if we take into account the current situation of the company, where LG intends to recover the poor results of its telephone division, which is currently in the doldrums.
Unfortunately the rest of the design of the LG G8 ThinQ does not stand out in any respect. To begin with, we find a phone that seems to be made of tempered glass and steel, something common in high-end terminals. In addition to having a traditional fingerprint reader on the back, at this point we also find another disappointment: the device's camera is made up of a dual-lens system.
We do not quite understand this point, especially if we take into account that the LG GV40 does have a triple camera system. A really strange move on the part of the company, although we will have to see how the company responds. LG G8 ThinQ camera before criticizing her.
Finally say that the device will have the traditional volume control buttons, in addition to the on and off key of the terminal. And that fourth button? as in previous models, the LG G8 ThinQ design it will include a dedicated button to activate the Google voice assistant, or they could even surprise us with their own assistant to perform certain actions without having to touch the phone ...
