LG V40 ThinQ
$899.99 (starting)
The Good

Good battery life • Sharp and vibrant display • Five cameras (!) gives more versatility with photos • Fast performance

The Bad

Expensive • Glass design is prone to smudges • Telephoto and wide-angle main cameras can look distored

The Bottom Line

The LG V40 ThinQ checks off all the boxes for a 2018 flagship. And while five cameras might seem like overkill, they let you capture almost any conceivable photo… for a price.

Yes, the LG V40 really has five cameras

It’s official: LG’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the LG V40, has three cameras on the back and two on the front. 

Though the official announcement of the phone is due Oct. 3, the company revealed some details about the phone — including photos and a video — on its Korean website

Interestingly, although the cameras are featured prominently in all these promo materials, LG hasn’t revealed their specs. 

What we did find out, though, is the size of the phone’s screen: It’ll be 6.4 inches. The phone will be the same width as its 6-inch predecessor, the LG V30; the company claims it increased the screen size within the same form factor by reducing the size of the bezels.  Read more…

Now that Apple’s big event is behind us, we can focus on the absolute onslaught of Android phones that are coming in October. 

First among the major names will be LG, which just announced it would launch its new flagship, the LG V40 ThinQ, during an Oct. 3 event in New York City. 

Accompanying the announcement is a short teaser video — an animation which shows a camera taking a photo of the same subject in standard, super wide angle and telephoto modes, which corresponds with rumors that the V40 will have three rear cameras. 

Other rumored V40 specs include a dual selfie camera; the invite for the New York event also comes with the text “Take 5,” which is further proof the phone will have a total of five cameras.  Read more…

LG’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the V40, might have a total of five cameras — three in the back and two in the front. 

This is according to press renders unearthed by MySmartPrice, which show the LG V40 from all sides. 

The “leaked” renders, which show the V40 with a notched screen and three rear cameras, look quite convincing — until you look at the details. 

The front and back photos look pretty much what we’d expect them to — check them out in their entirety here. But the images that show the phone from the don’t quite add up.  Read more…
