Phones

LG V10

LG announced the V10 smartphone in September 2015. It features a secondary display above the main screen, as well as two 5MP front-facing cameras (the secondary being 120° wide angle). Introducing a fingerprint sensor and home button combination as well as a leather back, it also includes comprehensive manual photo and video modes for advanced and quick editing while on the move.

LG V20

LG announced the V20 smartphone on September 6, 2016. Like its predecessor, it features a secondary display above the main screen while also being MIL-STD-810G drop compliant with its thin aluminium back. Though no longer having dual front-facing cameras, the LG V20 gains an 8 MP, 135° wide angle secondary rear camera over the V10 while maintaining the less common features such as an IR blaster, FM radio, high fidelity 24-bit dedicated audio recorder and microSD card slot in line with the professional use case of the LG V series.

LG V30

LG announced the V30 series, consisting of the LG V30 and LG V30+, on August 31, 2017. It forgoes the V20's secondary display for an 18:9 near bezeless screen and forgoes the removable battery in favor of IP68 waterproofing and a wireless charging glass design. Compared to the V20, the second screen was replaced with a software floating bar. [1] The only difference between the standard LG V30 and the LG V30+ is the fact that the LG V30+ has 128 GB of storage, while the LG V30 has 64 GB. [2] [3]

LG V30S ThinQ

In February 2018, LG announced an update to the LG V30, the LG V30S ThinQ, which marks the first phone with the ThinQ branding. The phone's hardware is similar to that of the LG V30, with the main differences being in storage, RAM, and color options. The LG V30S ThinQ also contains a number of new software features. [5] [6]

LG V35 ThinQ

A new addition to the LG V30 series, the LG V35 ThinQ [8] was released in May 2018. The phone contains most of the build and design of the LG V30 with the addition of upgraded hardware, listed below:

LG V40 ThinQ

On September 27, 2018, LG Mobile Global posted on their YouTube Channel about the design video teaser of the upcoming LG V40 ThinQ. The teaser teased with the phrase "Take 5", hinting that the phone will have 5 cameras altogether (a first for LG), a soft, silky feel ("Silky Blast"), and a selection of colors like Moroccan Blue and Aurora Black. [9] On October 3, 2018, LG officially announced the LG V40 ThinQ in New York City alongside the LG Watch W7 hybrid watch. [10] This phone released on October 18, 2018.

The dual selfie cameras, a feature introduced on the V10, return on the V40 ThinQ, and are housed within the "notch".

LG V50-V50s ThinQ

LG announced the V50 ThinQ on 24 February 2019 and the V50s in October 2019 at MWC 2019. The V50-S is largely identical to the V40 externally, albeit with a flush rear camera similarly to the LG G8 and a 5G logo. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 system-on-chip and Adreno 640 GPU, as well as 5G support and a slightly larger battery. To compete with folding smartphones, the device offers a case accessory known as "LG DualScreen", which contains a second, 6.2-inch 1080p display panel. It is powered using pogo pin connectors on the phone, but communicates wirelessly. [13] [14]
