Starting by glancing through the front of the phone, LG G7 ThinQ comes with the reigning feature – the notch. The company has decided to buy into the current trend with its fresh new 6.1-inch 19.5:9 3120 x 1440 pixel display. It’s an evolution on the Full Vision panel, now surrounded by even thinner bezels.

The screen is HDR 10 compliant and protected by a Gorilla Glass 5 protective layer.

As for the notch itself, LG maintains it’s a “new second screen”. The company pioneered secondary screens with the V-series back in the day, but has switched its phablets to conventional OLED panels since.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage that is expandable via microSD. A flagship chipset also implies the a standard connectivity set, including LTE-A, 3-Band carrier aggregation, Cat.16/13 (1Gbps/150Mbps) Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0 and Dual-SIM support in some markets.

As far as camera is concerned, the G7 sticks to the tried and true LG formula, with a pair of 16MP snappers – one with a 71-degree field of view, the other, with a super wide 107-degree one. The primary module sits behind an f/1.6 lens and is complete with OIS, phase detection and laser autofocus. An 8MP, f/1.9, 90-degree camera takes care of selfies.

The LG G7 ThinQ has a 3,000 mAh battery to keep it alive, charges through the Type-C port, at up to Quick Charge 3.0 rates. Qnovo battery tech is on board, to prolong the battery endurance over the years. It runs on Android Orea.
