LG Launches its First 5G phone with V50 ThinQ

2019 has brought a new tide of interesting and engaging phones from many companies. LG will not left behind.

LG’s V50 ThinQ 5G is a similar phone and looks just like the V40 ThinQ from last year.

But there’s a lot more to talk about it.

Display and design:

The LG V50 ThinQ has a 6.4-inch OLED QHD+ display, which runs at 19.5:9 ratio is bright and colorful, and it's hard to criticize it in any way really. There's a vibrant richness to the color and a clarity that OLED technology brings, and that's on top of the HDR-playback the phone offers.

There's a notch at the top of the phone, but LG offers you the chance to 'hide' it with a black bar either side, which is partly down to the high-contrast ratio of the OLED tech.

It contains a regular fingerprint sensor on the back, along with a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, stereo speakers, and yes, a headphone jack.

Battery:

In terms of battery life, LG V50 ThinQ has a larger 4,000mAh power pack inside (which is why it's tipping the scales at 183g and is now 8.3mm thick) should keep things powering on for longer.

With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset inside pumping things along, things should be more efficient, but we'll need to test things harder to find out in our full LG V50 review, especially with a 5G connection.

Camera:

The LG V50 camera has a triple array. However, they're coming into a world where we're seeing artificial intelligence (AI) enhancements instantly improving the look and feel of photos, and high-powered, multiple sensors combining to offer a brilliant snap.

It comes with a with a 12MP f/1.5 standard + 12MP f/2.4 telephoto + 16MP f/1.9 ultrawide lens setup.

In our early tests, which admittedly were conducted indoors, we found the performance of all three snappers rather good.

Storage:

LG V50 ThinQ is powering a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, complete with 5G support. Speaking of 5G, it comes installed with a Qualcomm X50 Modem, promising up to 20x the speeds of 4G. It won’t heat up much either, as LG included a vapor chamber for cooling the chipset.

The V50 ThinQ comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage;it can be expanded with a microSD card. Other than that, it runs on Android 9.0 Pie with LG’s UI on top.

Price:

LG has not officially announced the price and availability of the phone yet. It will be revealed soon.
