LG has recently confirmed that it will be present at the upcoming IFA 2019 tech trade show. Reports have claimed that that South Korean company may launch the LG V60 ThinQ smartphone at IFA 2019. A new leak claims that the firm may unveil a new phone called LG G8X. PriceBaba in collaboration with OnLeaks has shared 360-degree renders of the smartphone.
The leak reveals that the LG G8X will be arriving as the successor of the LG G8 ThinQ that was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in February. However, the LG G8X sounds more like an enhanced version of the smartphone. The publication has shared some renders of the phone to reveal its front and rear design.
The front side of the LG G8X features a display with waterdrop notch. Even though the LG G8 ThinQ had arrived with flagship specifications, it came with an outdated display design that featured a wide notch. Like the G8 ThinQ, the G8 8X is also equipped with a horizontal dual camera setup. Next to the camera module is the LED flash and some sensors. Interestingly, there is no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on the device.
According to OnLeaks, the front notch of the phone has less space to house facial recognition sensors. Hence, the smartphone seems to be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. By this, it could become the first LG phone to come with the advanced fingerprint scanning feature.
The leak reveals that the smartphone will be featuring a 6.2-inch display. The right edge of the device is fitted with a power button. The volume up and down buttons are found on the left edge of the device. There is a dedicated key below the volume buttons that can be used to access the Google Assistant.
The top edge of the LG G8X has a SIM card tray. The bottom side of the smartphone features a loudspeaker grille, a USB-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack. The presence of an earpiece just above the front camera is an indication that the company could be ditching the Crystal Sound OLED speaker that emitted through the display.
Ther is no information available on the other specifications of the LG G8X ThinQ smartphone. Probably, it could be featuring the Snapdragon 855 or the faster Snapdragon 855+ SoC. The display of the phone may continue to support quad HD+ resolution. Hopefully, more details of the phone may get revealed through leaks ahead of the IFA 2019 launch.
