LG has yet another phone for 2018, and it might be the best one yet
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F782859%2Ffabee81c-1161-42f9-9064-45b4df247ad7.jpg)
It’s not déjà vu — LG has yet another new phone, following the release of its flagship LG G7 ThinQ earlier this month and the LG V30s that came out in February.
The LG V35 ThinQ is the new kid, merging the V30s design with features that we first saw on the G7.
However, there are three differences between the V35 and the G7. First, you don’t get a traditional 6.1 inch QHD+ OLED screen, instead of an edge-to-edge one. Second, a larger 3,300mAh battery is on board. And third, there’s more power on the inside thanks to 6GB of RAM.
