While LG did action a acknowledgment to this leak, they didn't absolute abnegate it, and the adjournment is still telling. While its afterlight is as awe-inspiring as we believed, the changes should advice it bigger attempt amid Android phones if marketed able-bodied enough.

Dual 16 MP Rear Cameras + 8 MP Advanced Camera
The camera has additionally accustomed an advancement from aftermost year's G6. The G7 ThinQ will use a 16 MP Sony IMX351 sensor for its capital lens, the aforementioned lens begin in the LG V30. These lenses will accept optical angel stabilization (OIS), an breach of f/1.6, and an bend of 70 degrees.
The aforementioned angel sensor will additionally be acclimated for the additional 16 MP rear camera which will accept a wide-angle lens (107 degrees) with an breach of f/1.9. The advanced camera will be 8 MP with a 90-degree angle.
The G7 ThinQ will borrow a new camera approach from the V30S ThinQ alleged "Bright Mode," which combines four pixels into one big pixel (using pixel binning) to advance the affection of photos taken in low-light situations.
AI Cam
Like the LG V30S ThinQ (which was appear beforehand this year), the G7 is beneath the ThinQ branding which indicates it is added by AI (specifically apparatus learning). Agnate to the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, LG has acclimated the adeptness apparatus acquirements to advance the achievement and account of several features, namely the camera and articulation assistant.
Known as AI Cam, the G7 ThinQ is able to ascertain the objects, scenes, and bodies in the viewfinder and accomplish suggestions for settings modification for the best optimal picture. Just like Huawei Mate 10, LG formed with EyeEm to "teach" the phone what scenes to recognize. The aftereffect is 18 altered scenes it can recognize.
When application this mode, you can see the phone "think" as it recognizes the altar in the photo (it currently can admit 1,162 altered objects). The name of the article will briefly affectation on the viewfinder (known as QTags) which it uses to analyze the arena and acclaim settings. All in all, this should advance the photos taken by abounding of us who still use auto mode to booty photos.
A Bigger Google Assisstant
The additional above basic of the ThinQ branding will be improvements to the articulation assistant, accepted as Articulation AI. Instead of creating their own abettor like Samsungs' Bixby, LG added absolute Google Abettor commands to advance the experience. According to XDA, the G7 ThinQ will allotment abounding of the aforementioned commands begin on the V30S ThinQ for a absolute of 32.
LG is additionally absolutely blame its barter to use the Assistant. It is the aboriginal phone with a committed button to barrage Google Abettor (which isn't remappable). The button is positioned on the larboard ancillary of the phone, beneath the aggregate rocker. According to Engadget, the button offers three ascribe modes: one bang for articulation input, press-and-hold to allocution to Google Abettor (similarly to application a walkie-talkie), and double-click for beheld recognition.
Additionally, the G7 ThinQ includes "Super Far-Field Articulation Recognition." This affection uses the bifold microphone to ascertain your articulation up to 16 anxiety away, alike in blatant areas.
A Hideable Affectation Notch
Known as the "New Additional Screen" in Settings, LG G7 ThinQ is afterward the 2018 Android trend of including a affectation notch. Love it or abhorrence it, this will apparently be the free agency for abounding abeyant barter on whether they should acquirement this device.
Like the Huawei P20, LG does accommodate customization options including the adeptness to adumbrate the cleft altogether agnate to (Nacho Notch's implementation. However, LG does add the adeptness to change the blush of the awning about the cleft to add some acidity (although these don't adumbrate it).
'Boombox' Speakers & Headphone Jack
Stereo speakers are authoritative their way to the LG G7 ThinQ with article accepted as "Boombox Speakers," which uses resonance to amplify the sound. Because complete operates by vibration, LG is bouncing audio signals internally that will access the sounds externally. LG additionally added the admeasurement of the apostle assemblage by 39 percent. According to LG (via Engadget), this should construe to a 15- to 20-decibel improvement.
Standing on the abandoned mountain, the G7 ThinQ will already afresh be one of the few phones to accommodate a 3.5 mm headphone jack. And like it has in antecedent years, it will already afresh be acceptable via a Hi-Fi Quad DAC. The new DAC, the ESS Sabre ES9218, has four digital-to-analog audio converters which advance complete accuracy. According to LG, it offers a clearer complete than its predecessor, while abbreviation distortions and ambient noise. The G7 will additionally abutment MQA format, the accepted Hi-Fi audio book architecture acclimated by Tidal to accommodate lossless audio as heard by the artisan in the studio.
LG G7 ThinQ will additionally abutment DTS:X 3D Beleaguer Sound, a aboriginal for smartphones. This affection recreates 3D beleaguer complete audio in non-surround systems such as headphones. Your handheld cine watching acquaintance should be a accomplished lot bigger with the G7 ThinQ as now you can adore 7.1 beleaguer complete recreated in your headphones.
A Committed Home Button, IP68 Appraisement & Wireless Charging
Undoing the acceptable bureaucracy of a fingerprint scanner acceleration as a home button, the G7 ThinQ will assuredly abstracted this functionality. Citing fans' complaints about acute touches (which I absolutely accede with), the G7 ThinQ will be one of the aboriginal LG G alternation accessories in years to accept its own home button forth the appropriate bend of the phone.
Like the V30, LG G7 ThinQ will accommodate the IP68 appraisement and is MIL-STD 810G compliant. These ratings announce this accessory will be durable, able to bear best elements. Additionally, the bottle aback and wireless charging will acknowledgment for those who can't alive with it.
The array activity will be heavily abased on the adeptness of the Qualcomm chipset, as the accommodation will be a bald 3,000 mAh. For context, the LG V30 and G6 had a 3,300 mAh battery. It's a ambiguous move seeing how the array of the phones is aforementioned as its predecessor. However, aback the G6 was application a 2016 chipset aftermost year, apprehend a apparent advance in array activity over its predecessor. Quick Charge 3.0 is accurate for faster recharging times.
Price & Availability
LG didn't accompaniment the exact absolution date, attached their acknowledgment to alone "in the advancing days" for South Korea. US (along with Europe, South America, and Asia) should accept it anon after. According to SlashGear, preorders for best US carriers will be about May 24 or 25, with an accepted absolution of June 1. Hopefully, LG does a bigger job of carrying the accessory quickly, clashing the heavily delayed V30 which took about two months to ability US shores.
Pricing wasn't mentioned either but according to SlashGear, LG declared the apart adaptation would be added in band with the G6 and not the V30. Aback the G6 debuted at $650, apprehend appraisement to be about $700. The LG G7 ThinQ will appear in the afterward colors: Aurora Black, Platinum Grey, Moroccan Blue, and Raspberry Rose.
With these specs, 2018 is abstraction up to be a abundant year for customers. Instead of jumping on the Samsung Galaxy S9 aboriginal in the year, it ability be account blockage out the LG G7 ThinQ. Depending on pricing, this could be appalling adversary alms abundant specs with little compromises. Let us apperceive in the comments beneath if you are aflame about LG's abutting offering.
