LG has been around in the phone market for many years now. It started back in the day of brick phones with number pads, slowly shifted to QWERTY devices and eventually segued into modern smartphones. In more recent times, LG has been one of the few smartphone manufacturers that hasn't been afraid to experiment and the line it has done most of its experimentation with has been the V-...
Anytime an Android flagship is announced, it’s a natural reflex to immediately see how it compares to Apple’s flagship iPhone. In the case of LG’s recently unveiled V40 ThinQ, it will go head to head with the iPhone XS Max. In a battle of notched phones, the V40 ThinQ and iPhone XS Max differ in many areas but overall, they’re very similar. Adorning the notched OLED displays is an all-...
In releasing the V40 ThinQ, LG took a very similar path as OnePlus when it released the OnePlus 6 earlier this year. LG and OnePlus both went from a standard and impressive device (V30 and 5T) to one that adopts the current design fads of the notch. As a result, both companies went with the trends instead of trying to differentiate themselves. Some will hate this while others won’t...
LG just introduced its newest smartphone, the LG V40 ThinQ, and it’s exactly what you’d expect. It falls squarely in line with the trend of modern smartphones while the Pixel 2 XL falls on the other side of that. It’s kind of unfair to compare the two as the Pixel 2 XL’s successor is just around the corner and in every spec breakdown (except camera), it looks outdated—Snapdragon 845 vs...
Samsung has long dominated the Android market and LG wants to reverse that trend with the V40 ThinQ, its newest Android flagship. Given the impending battle, we decided to take a look at how the V40 ThinQ stacks up against Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9. Though the V40 ThinQ is not marketed as a plus-sized device, it really is with its 6.4-inch notch-laden OLED display. This puts it in the...
When LG introduced the V30 last year, it became an unfortunate afterthought even though it was one of the best Android devices of the year. A year later, LG hopes the V-series can have a mainstream breakthrough with the V40 ThinQ, improving upon many areas over its predecessor. Going from the V30 to the V40 ThinQ, the changes are mostly incremental. LG returned the same design language...
LG made its latest flagship official, but we don’t know all that much about it yet. It’s the V40 ThinQ. We already knew that, though the South Korean company felt it would be necessary to make a half-announcement before the full-blown announcement. So we have a 30-second clip and some photos to take a look at. But, to be completely honest, the video and the photos don’t give us a whole...
LG might unleash an all-out beast for photography this fall. In a new leak, mobile industry insider Evan Blass exposes the South Korean company’s design for its upcoming flagship. While most high-end phones pull off impressive shots with one or two cameras, LG wants to push boundaries and show what three cameras can do. The V40 ThinQ, which will make its debut next month, should have...
It has been nearly a year since LG released the V30, one of the most underrated device from 2017, but so far this year we haven’t heard much about a possible successor. That was until a new set of leaked renders revealed LG’s follow-up, dubbed the V40 ThinQ, that improves upon its predecessor in one key area while adding a feature that will prove to be polarizing with fans. The LG V40...
Before LG’s 2018 flagship is even announced, we’re seeing leaks for two other upcoming high-end phones. The V35 ThinQ and V40 ThinQ are both in development with their codenames and release dates surfacing online this week. Mobile industry insider Evan Blass took to Twitter to reveal what they’re known as internally and when we should expect to see them. LG appears to be preparing one...
