Last year LG separated itself from some of its competitors and unveiled its current flagship three months after the Mobile World Congress, during the month of May. Apparently, this year things could change. The company would return to the old tradition of publicizing its flagship phone during the Barcelona event. This is assured by the Korean media ETNews, who also gives an exact date of the release of the device. As revealed, the LG G8 will debut on February 24 in Barcelona, hours before the largest mobility fair opens its doors.
At the moment, not much data has been leaked about the LG G8 ThinQ, although it is likely that it has a different design than its predecessor. Rumors agree that the new equipment could include an accessory capable of adding a second panel. It would not be a folding phone, it would be like a kind of case that would include an additional removable panel. The goal would be to add it if we needed more display space at any given time. Remember that it would not be the first time that LG experimented with external modules in its terminals. The LG G5 landed with an extra accessory system to enhance its features, such as an additional battery or speaker.
LG is keeping the secret of its next flagship very well. At the moment, no possible features have been filtered, such as screen size, photographic section or processor. In any case, the normal thing is that it improves to its current LG G7 ThinQ. This model hit the market with a 6.1-inch IPS M + LED super bright panel with Quad HD + resolution (3120 x 1440 pixels) and a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio.
Inside there is room for a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, along with 4 GB of RAM. The LG G8 is likely to include the Snapdragon 855 and 6GB of RAM. Likewise, the LG G7 also has a double 16-megapixel sensor and a front 8-megapixel sensor. The team also boasts a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging and wireless charging, as well as a fingerprint reader or facial recognition.
