In preparation of the rollout of its first 5G phone, LG is
partnering with 10 major carriers in markets where 5G service
will be launched this year, including the United States, South
Korea, Australia and Europe. In the UK, LG is partnering with
EE - the UK’s number one mobile network - to bring the V50
5G to UK consumers later this year. EE is switching on 5G sites
in 16 UK cities in 2019, the first of which are the capital cities
of London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, as well as Birmingham
and Manchester.
Dual Screens for Richer 5G Experience
To take user immersion and convenience to new heights with its
first 5G smartphone, LG developed Dual Screen as an optional
accessory for the LG V50ThinQ 5G. Designed to resemble a
cover case, Dual Screen opens up to give LG V50ThinQ 5G
owners a second 6.2-inch OLED display for double the viewing,
gaming and multitasking experience. The Dual Screen display
and the LG V50ThinQ 5G can be used independently, allowing
for many interesting usage scenarios. For example, users can
watch a movie on one screen while simultaneously searching
IMDB on the other.
With Dual Screen attached, an icon appears on the display
of the LG V50ThinQ 5G which can be tapped to power on
the second display or switch effortlessly between the two
screens. A multi-window feature divides each screen in two,
making it possible to display and use multiple applications at
the same time. In select games, the Dual Screen can be used
as a dedicated controller, resolving the age old problem of
thumbs getting in the way of the action. The Dual Screen can
be positioned in two convenient angles – 104 and 180 degrees
– and because it runs off the phone’s battery, there’s no need to
charge it separately.
MWC 2018 attendees are encouraged to visit LG’s booth in Hall
3 of Fira Gran Via from February 25-28 for more information
on LG’s newest smartphones as well as other exciting mobile
innovations.
G Series Option for Everyone Else
Another member of LG’s G family will be available in the
months following MWC for markets seeking something
unique in a package that offers a premium fit and finish
without sacrificing performance or the premium essentials that
make the LG G8ThinQ so special. The LG G8sThinQ features
Qualcomm’s fast Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform mated to a
vibrant 6.2-inch OLED display powered by a robust 3,350mAh
battery. Three rear-facing cameras, dedicated night shot mode
and low-light HDR technology makes this device a content
creation powerhouse while Z Camera allows for enhanced
security with Hand ID and Face Unlock. Air Motion, precise
depth-of-field and stereo speakers round out the package that
is bound to appeal to customers looking for a G8 experience at
a competitive price.
