LG Unveils G7 ThinQ Flagship Smartphone
LG Electronics has introduced its latest premium smartphone, the LG G7 ThinQ featuring new AI capabilities to the South African market
The LG G7 ThinQ features a 6.1-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) display, sporting a 19.5:9 FullVision screen ratio. Powered by LG’s leading M+ LCD technology, the Super Bright Display can be viewed easily even under direct sunlight with brightness up to an industry-leading 1,000 nit, displaying 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut.
Powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 45 Mobile Platform, the LG G7 ThinQ offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage and is equipped with a 6.1-inch Super Bright Display.
LG says the G7 ThinQ is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance and is also awarded MIL-STD 810 c certification having been subjected to a range of extreme temperature and environment tests, designed by the United States military to evaluate the performance of equipment in harsh conditions.
The device has an 8MP camera up front rendering clear and natural selfies, with two 16MP cameras at the back that deliver higher resolution photos with more detail as well as a Super Wide Angle configuration.
LG has evolved its signature camera offering by including AI functionality. The AI CAM offers 19 shooting modes for even more intelligence-optimised shots and users can also improve their photos further by choosing from an additional three effect options should the AI CAM recommendation not suit their taste.
The company says the new flagship offers consumers further AI functionality with the inclusion of Google Lens features which is a new way to search using the latest in AI and computer vision.
Available for the first time in the LG G7 ThinkQ, the Boombox Speaker utilizes the internal space of the handset as a resonance chamber to deliver double the bass of conventional smartphones for a powerful “boombox” sound without the need for external speakers.
The LG G7 ThinQ is also the first smartphone to offer DTS:X 3D with 7.1 channel surround sound.
The phone is set go on sale from the 1 June, and will be available from Telkom, MTN, and Vodacom at R13,999 pre-paid, and R649 per month, post-paid.
