LG’s G-series of smartphones are known to be flagships but that might change according to a new report. It is said that LG has revamped its mobile phone line and will launch the LG G9 ThinQ as a mid-range phone rather than a flagship.
The source says the LG G9 ThinQ will launch with a Snapdragon 765G 5G processor under the hood rather than the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform.
LG is said to have made this decision after reviewing the market and the success of its phones. If the company launched the phone with a Snapdragon 865 processor, it will cross the $1000 mark and at that price range, folks will rather purchase an iPhone or a Samsung phone. With the Snapdragon 765G inside and probably some other tradeoffs, the LG G9 ThinQ can be more affordable.
The phone is expected to arrive this month which means it may be announced before the end of the week. We have no idea what it will cost but we will advise you brace up for similar pricing to that of the recently-announced Nokia 8.3 5G which starts at €599.
Leaked renders of the phone from early January show it has a waterdrop notch in its OLED display, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and four rear cameras. It will also have a dedicated Google Assistant button and an audio jack.
