Every year, since it launched the first Pixel phone, Google has shown us what it can do with a very good camera software and a single sensor. Thanks to developers, you don’t have to own a Pixel phone to be able to experience how good Google’s camera app is as the APK can be ported and modified to work on other devices. Some devices already have the ported version of the Pixel 3’s camera but a new one has been released that works on a number of LG phones.

The ported version brings the camera performance of the Pixel 3 including the popular Night Sight feature to a bunch of LG phones including the LG V20 thanks to XDA Senior member, cstark27. The APK works on the LG V20, LG V30, LG V35, and the LG G6. if you own the LG G7 ThinQ and the LG V40 ThinQ, you can also try it but it is said to be unstable. However, there is a chance a newer version that works well with the two phones will be released in the near future.

It was revealed in the previous month by Android Headlines that apart from the LG G7 ThinQ and the rumored LG V40 smartphones, LG is also working on a phone called LG V35 ThinQ which is codenamed as Emma. Today, the same publication has shared leaked renders of the LG V35 smartphone to reveal its design.

The LG V35 ThinQ renders reveal that it features a tall display that offers an aspect ratio of 18:9. It is speculated that the V35 features a FullVision OLED display of 6 inches. However, it is unlikely to feature P-OLED display that were made available on the LG G6 and LG V30 smartphones in 2017. The Quad HD+ resolution supporting display of V35 ThinQ is expected to offer a screen-to-body ratio of 80 percent.

The rear side of the LG V35 ThinQ features a horizontally arrange dual camera setup. It is expected to feature the same pair of 16-megapixel camera sensors that is available on the LG G7 ThinQ. The V35 ThinQ is rumored to be packed with various AI capabilities for camera.

The V35 ThinQ may also feature 32-bit ESS Sabre 9228 quad DAC and far-field voice recognition like the G7 ThinQ. The backside of the V35 also features a fingerprint reader. The handset will be available in Black and Grey color variants.

In the U.S., AT&T won’t be releasing the new LG G7 ThinQ. The publication claims that the LG V35 ThinQ will be exclusively available through AT&T in the country. AT&T is also mentioned at top-left corner in the display of the LG V35 ThinQ in the first render.

The LG V35 ThinQ may debut on August 10 as the date is mentioned on its display in the first render. As far as the LG V40 (codenamed as Storm) is concerned, the flagship phone may debut in fall this year. Unlike the AT&T exclusive LG V35 ThinQ, the LG V40 phone is expected to be available through all the carriers in the U.S.

LG is known for releasing G-series and V-series flagship phones in a year. The South Korean company was expected to launch LG G7 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo this year. However, instead of launching G-series flagship, it announced the LG V30S ThinQ and LG V30S+ ThinQ smartphones. Recent information reveals that LG’s next flagship will carry LG G7 ThinQ moniker and it will be unveiled on May 2. Newer information revealed by AndroidHeadlines states that LG’s upcoming V-series phone will be called LG V35 ThinQ.

Citing information received through a reliable source that has been crosschecked by LG’s in-house documentation states that the successor for LG V30/V30 Plus and V30S ThinQ / V30S+ ThinQ phones will be indeed called LG V35.

Design

When LG had launched the LG G6 with 18:9 display in 2016, it was marketed as a large-sized display phone designed for one-handed operation. The South Korean company is expected to use the same marketing strategy for the LG V35 ThinQ that will be equipped with an edge-to-edge design. The company will also advertise it as a lightweight device that offers immersive experience. It is expected to hit the market in two colors like Black and Grey with premium glossy finish.

Display

Leaked information reveals that the LG V35 ThinQ won’t be featuring the MLCD+ technology display that is speculated to arrive on the LG G7 ThinQ. Also, it seems that the P-OLED (polymer OLED) display that is available on the LG V30 and V30S smartphones won’t be available on the LG V35 ThinQ as its internal documentation does not contain any information on POLED panel. The handset will be arriving with an 18:9 aspect ratio supporting 6-inch FullVision OLED display that will offer 80 percent screen-to-body ratio. The documents do not suggest that it will have a notched display like G7 ThinQ.

Cameras

The LG G7 ThinQ is expected to come with a pair of 16-megapixel camera sensors. The same dual camera setup is expected to available on the V35 ThinQ. For color capturing, it will include an f/1.6 aperture 16-megapixel primary sensor that is equipped with a glass lens and 10-bit HDR compatibility. It will be coupled with a 16-megapixel secondary wide-angle lens that will offer a field of view of 107 degrees. The camera features like AI Cam, Google Lens, Super Bright Mode and camera related AI tweaks that are available on the G7 ThinQ will be also coming to the V35 ThinQ.

Artificial Intelligence

The LG V35 ThinQ will be a “super-smart device” and the company will be greatly focusing on its AI benefits. AI will allow users to carry out various tasks and do more on the phone by using less time while using voice assistant, camera and other features of the phone.

Audio

The LG V35 ThinQ will include the 32-bit high-performance ESS Sabre 9228 quad DAC. It will be packed with various customization features and digital filters for improving the audio output. Also, it will be equipped with far-field voice recognition in order to take advantage of the capabilities of the voice assistant at a larger distance of up to 17 feet.

LG chose not to announce its upcoming flagship phone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. Instead, it had announced the V30S ThinQ and V30 ThinQ+ as AI driven edition of the LG V30S smartphone from last year. Earlier this week, an Israeli tech publication had shared leaked photos of LG G7 Neo smartphone from MWC 2018. It was revealed that the handset is packed with flagship specs. At that time, popular leakster Evan Blass had claimed that it could be a prototype of the scrapped version of the LG G7. He said that LG may have scrapped it in favor of the upcoming LG Judy phone. Fresh information shared by Blass claims that it is indeed the next flagship phone from the company. He has also revealed that it had showcased the LG G7 Neo behind closed doors to select group of invitees.

In the previous month, Blass had revealed plenty of information on the specs of an upcoming LG flagship phone that is codenamed as Judy. The tipster has now claimed that the Neo is the original codename of the LG’s next generation flagship and it is the very same Judy phone.

The LG G7 Neo was spotted at MWC 2018 with iPhone X-like design with a notch on its top bezel. Since it bears resemblance with the iPhone X, LG employees are reportedly unhappy about the copied design.

It features a 6-inch screen that supports 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a screen resolution of 1440 x 3120. These specs match with the display configuration of the LG Judy phone. According to Blass, the LG G7 Neo shown at MWC 2018 has OLED panel, but when the phone will be officially unveiled later this year, it will be coming with MLCD technology display.

The other specs of the forthcoming LG flagship are Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 16-megapixel dual rear cameras with f/1.6 aperture, 3000mAh battery, boombox speakers. LG has confirmed that it will be launching its next flagship phone in the first half of the year. The tipster had revealed in the last month that it will be announced by June this year.

Apart from the LG G7 Neo, the South Korean company had also revealed the upcoming LG Q7 and V35 smartphones and a new smartwatch privately to its select clients.

The post LG G7 (Judy) Was Showcased Secretly at MWC 2018 Along with LG Q7, V35 and New Smartwatch appeared first on Gizmochina.

The LG V30S ThinQ was the phone LG unveiled at MWC this year but the V30 ThinQ wasn’t the only device the manufacturer took to the show. Images and photos of a phone called the LG G7 Neo have been posted online by an Israeli publication that got to spend some time with the device.

The LG G7 Neo is said to have a 6” display with a new OLED technology. The screen also has a 3120 x 1440 resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Yes, that aspect ratio is as a result of a notch in the display.

If you watch the video below below, the phone is shown to sport a notch in some scenes and doesn’t have one in others. Even in the image above, you can’t see the notch. But can you see the clock, network, and battery icons are positioned above the “rest of the display”? Confused? Don’t be.

The notch sort of “hides” on the homescreen too just like it happens when you are playing a video on a device with a notch like the iPhone X, Essential PH-1 or the new ASUS Zenfone 5. It sure is a pretty neat trick. It is said that an 8MP wide-angle camera resides within the cut-out.

On the rear, the LG G7 Neo has dual cameras. Both are 16MP sensors but one has a F/1.6 aperture with OIS while the other is a wide-angle lens with a F/1.9 aperture. Below the setup is a fingerprint scanner but this doesn’t double as a power button like in the LG G6.

The LG G7 Neo is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor and has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It also has a 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant. The battery capacity is said to be 3000mAh and there are other features like BoomBox Audio and DTS-X.

Little bird told me that in the same venue that this G7 was being shown, there was also a Q7 and V35. And a new watch.

According to Evan Blass, the LG G7 Neo may be the device canceled in favor of the new codenamed Judy set to arrive in H2 2018. In another tweet, he also said he was informed that LG also had the LG Q7, LG V35, and a new watch at the event.
