LG G7 will receive a camera with f / 1.5 aperture and a button for starting AI

The upcoming flagship smartphone LG G7 is getting more and more details. We already know that the company succumbed to fashion on the displays with a cutout, and now the sources told about the appointment of an additional button on the gadget's case.

What did they tell?

Perhaps LG will really release a modification of the flagship with an OLED display , but at least in Korea there will be a standard model with a matrix M + LCD. The feature of this panel is an additional white subpixel (RGBW), due to which the maximum brightness increases. The screen will consume 35% less compared to conventional IPS. On most parameters, technology is not inferior to OLED, and production costs significantly cheaper. This will help make the LG G7 more accessible. The diagonal will be about 6 inches, and the "bang" can be hidden by analogy with the Huawei P20 / P20 Pro .

The heart of the smartphone will be the top-end processor Snapdragon 845, it is reported about 6 gigabytes of RAM (although in some countries there may be a version with 4 gigabytes of RAM), a drive for 64 or 128 gigabytes. The vertical camera on the back is double, the main module will receive a high-speed optics with a f / 1.5 diaphragm - like the main competitor Samsung Galaxy S9. The second is likely to be wide-angle. The front camera supports face recognition for unlocking, and the system will run 30% faster. The fingerprint scanner is also there.

LG G7 (this, by the way, is not yet the final name) is enclosed in a glass case with a metal frame, as well as protection from water and dust according to the IP68 standard. On the eve of 3D-rendered on the eve, you can see that the 3.5-mm headphone jack has not been canceled yet.

The additional key on the end provides quick access to the functions of artificial intelligence, including Google Assistant, proprietary Q Lens and Q Voice. It is curious whether users will be able to reassign the button at their discretion. In the same flagships Samsung without third-party software can turn off activation assistant Bixby, but no more.

When to expect?

According to recent data, the presentation of LG G7 will take place in late April, and by mid-May official sales will begin (at least in South Korea).
