The renders of the LG G9 ThinQ had appeared at the beginning of this year. Some reports had claimed that the South Korean company may kill the G-series and rival Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup flagship phones with its V-series. Last month, LG announce the LG V60 ThinQ. The hopes of G-series resurfaced when South Korean publication Naver reported in the previous week that the LG G9 ThinQ will be arriving as a mid-range phone. A fresh report on the same publication states that the LG G9 is dead.
The South Korean publication reported that the LG has axed its G lineup. Hence, there won’t be LG G9 or G10 phones coming in the future. The report further states that the company is planning to launch a new high-end 5G phone in the first half of the year.
Last week’s report had claimed that the LG G9 ThinQ will be powered by Snapdragon 765G. While the company won’t be launching G-series phones in future, the SD765G phone is said to be the same the high-end 5G device that will break in the next few months.
The upcoming SD765G LG phone will have a 6.7-inch or 6.9-inch display and it will be housing a 48-megapixel quad camera setup. It will be equipped with a 4,000mAh battery and it will be priced lower than 1 million won (~$816). The company also plans to sell a Dual Screen accessory for it.
The South Korean company is also said to be working on a new edition of its ”chocolate cellphone.” It was a slider phone that had debuted as LG VX8500 Chocolate in the U.S. in 2006. There is no word on the specifications of the device. LG is also planning to 5G capable entry-level phones.
