The Perfect Smartphone for the 5G Era
Giving consumers the ability to enjoy all 5G has to offer
as soon as service becomes available, the groundbreaking
LG V50ThinQ 5G has been carefully crafted to provide an
exceptional user experience. LG’s first 5G handset will exceed
expectations, offering uncompromising reliability and allowing
users to experience high-quality content at 5G speeds, expected
to deliver up to 20 times the speed of 4G.

Display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio offers users a heightened sense
of immersion whether they’re viewing a video or enjoying a
game.

performance that can be enjoyed with or without headphones.

audio quality and low latency ideal for immersive listening
experiences over headphones or earbuds.
LG’s 5G smartphone features optical innovations that enable
users to take extraordinary pictures and videos of the highest
quality. Looking beyond still images, LG implemented Video
Depth Control in both the front and rear cameras to ensure
that moving subjects remain in focus. By analysing distance
and depth with Dual FOV technology, users can capture
exactly what they see making it possible to produce videos that
look incredibly polished and professional.
LG’s first 5G device is powered by the newest Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 855 Mobile Platform with the Snapdragon
X50 5G modem and LG’s optimised software to deliver the
advanced processing power required for 5G. The phone is also
equipped with a 4,000mAh battery, 20 percent larger than in
the V40ThinQ, and a new Vapour Chamber heat-dissipation
system which is more effective than conventional heat pipes
to keep internal temperatures low and support sustained apps
processing performance even when multitasking.
Inheriting the V series’ thin, stylish design, the LG V50ThinQ
5G is only 8.3 millimeters in thickness and weighs only 183
grams. To maintain its sleek profile with uninterrupted lines,
the rear lens housing on the new V smartphone are completely
flush with the back of the phone. All this is achieved without
sacrificing the durability of the LG V50ThinQ 5G, which
continues to comply with 14 U.S. military MIL-STD 810G
standards.
