LG G7 and G7+ ThinQ with 6.1-inch notched screen, SD845 chip, and AI cameras now official!

In an event in New York, LG launched the G7 and G7+ ThinQ. They are the company's top-of-the-line phones designed to rival the flagship phones of Samsung, Apple, and Huawei.

LG G7 ThinQ

On paper, it is one of the most feature-rich flagship smartphone yet. It boasts a MIL-STD 810G rated metal and glass construction with IP68 water and dust resistance.

Different colors of LG G7 ThinQ

On the top, it has a 6.1-inch QHD+ HDR 10 compliant 19:5:9 notched FullVision IPS M+ panel uses an RGBW arrangement with 1,000 nits of luminance, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, and better contrast.

Under the hood, you'll find the Snapdragon 845 chip, up to 6GB RAM, up to 128GB UFS 3.1 expandable storage, and 3,000mAh battery capacity w/ Quick Charge 3.0 and wireless charging.

It also has a dual camera setup at the back with 16MP f/1.6 w/ 71-degree wide-angle lens + 16MP f/1.9 w/ 107-degree wide-angle lens w/ PDAF, laser AF, OIS, and LED flash.

It also has LG's new AI CAM which now offers 19 shooting modes and the Super Bright Camera that uses pixel binning and AI to make photos up to 4x brigher and automatically adjust the camera settings when shooting in lowlight.

However, the selfie camera is still a bit uninspiring at just 8MP.

The LG G7 ThinQ phones still has emphasis on audio though. As a matter of fact, it now has a Boom Box stereo speaker setup with DTS-X and 7.1 surround sound. LG promises that it has deeper bass and better audio quality than most smartphones found in the market today.

It still has the VERY IMPORTANT 3.5 mm headphone jack, 32-bit ESS HiFi quad DAC setup and a new dual microphones with Super Far Field Voice Recognition that can pick up voice from up to 5 meters away.

It boots with Android 8.0 Oreo w/ LG UX out of the box. LG also promised that it will be updated to Android P.
