LG G7+ ThinQ with SD845, 1000 nits display, AI cameras launched for Rs 39,990

In order to make its presence felt in the flagship smartphone category in India, LG has launched their flagship G7+ ThinQ. The smartphone has been priced at Rs 39,990, thereby pitting it against the OnePlus 6 and Vivo NEX. The handset will go on sale from August 10 on Flipkart.

The G7+ ThinQ adopts the modern trend of sporting a notched-display design — a 6.1-inch QHD+ FullView display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The display supports DCI-P3 colour gamut, with brightness going up to 1000 nits. The G7+ ThinQ also sports a dedicated Google Assistant button like Samsung’s Bixby key on the Galaxy S9+. The glass-metal body also gets IP68 water and dust resistance certification along with MIL-STD 810G standard protection.

The G7+ ThinQ is built around a Snapdragon 845 chipset paired along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Users can also expand storage up to 2TB. The G7+ ThinQ runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with LG UX 7.0 atop. For the optics, there’s a dual camera setup for the rear — a 16MP primary sensor with f/1.6 aperture and the secondary wide-angle 16MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture. An 8MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture looks after selfie duties. LG has baked in several AI features into the camera app with 19 shooting modes and three presets.

The smartphone is kept alive by a 3000mAh battery with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 support. The device also features a 3.5mm headphone jack aided by a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for enhanced audio quality.
