LG has trademarked two new monikers for the smartphones — LG V60S and LG K50S. The development comes ahead of IFA 2019 so there’s a possibility that we could hear more about these two phones at the trade show.
As per the report, LG Electronics had filed a trademark for the name “LG V60S” in South Korea. The filing was submitted to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) on 2nd August which has been listed online.
With LG V60 and LG K50 getting an “S” edition smartphones, it’s hard to say if the new devices will be an upgrade or downgrade over the original model. The LG G8S, which was launched soon after the launch of LG G8, was a slight downgrade. However, the LG V30S was a clear upgrade over the V30.
At the upcoming IFA 2019, South Korea-based LG is expected to announce LG V60 flagship smartphone, which the company has been teasing with its dual-screen feature. It should be a clear upgrade over the V50, though we don’t have specifics yet. We are expecting the LG V60S to be placed somewhere between LG V50 and V60.
Since the LG K50 is an entry-level smartphone, we are expecting the LG K50S to be an upgrade over the original model. We also expect the company to announce the LG G8X along with these two smartphones at IFA 2019. However, the report adds that while the LG V60S will be revealed at IFA 2019, the phone will be officially launched in 2020.
