LG V50 ThinQ was expected to debut at the beginning of April alongside the Galaxy S10 5G. But the launch was delayed as the phone was yet to be optimized for perfect user experience. The delay of this LG model, as well as the Samsung 5G model, led to the delay of the rollout of the world’s first 5G network launched in South Korea. While Samsung was still able to release the Galaxy S10 5G in April, LG was not. Now, we finally know when its 5G-enabled flagship will finally hit the shelves. LG V50 ThinQ will be available starting from May 10 and it will come alongside an additional accessory adding a second display to the handset.
Despite the upcoming availability of two 5G smartphones in South Korea, it will still be hard for consumers to use 5G networks as local carriers are still in the early stages of building their networks based on the new connectivity standard. But there is nothing to worry about as the coverage will extend a lot in the coming months.
According to the company, due to its dual displays, the LG V50 ThinQ offers a similar feel as a foldable phone and it will be great, especially for gaming. The second display can be used as a controller while the game runs on the primary display. So, its good for gaming and multi-tasking.
The LG V50 ThinQ will be priced at 1,199,000 won that is equivalent to about $1035. It is a very interesting price as the phone is $173 cheaper than the Galaxy S10 5G edition. Coming to the main specs, the V50 sports a 6.4-inch Quad HD+ display, and it is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with a Snapdragon X50 5G modem. It will be offered just in the 6/128 GB memory configuration with expandable storage. On the rear side, it sports a triple camera with an ultrawide sensor and a telephoto lens, while the battery comes with a generous 4000mAh capacity.
