    LG tipped to unveil V60 ThinQ at MWC 2020

    Smartphones have made an amazing turn in terms of appearances, sizes shapes and over the years companies have gone out of their way to make sure that they surprise us with their new releases. It seems that the future is just so unpredictable especially if it comes to these smartphones.

    There are those that have a number of cameras on the back while others have huge screens and the more subtle ones just divide the screen into two halves so it could fold.

    Now, LG took a more subtle approach and gave its flagship smartphone not one, but two screens. Yes, the company released the phone late last year and promised to start shipping it as this year’s first LG phone.

    The phone has two screens that touch onto each other when the phone is (much like a Nintendo DS but without the controller). The LG V60 ThinQ phone has also been confirmed to have a 5G reception which will be one amongst the few phones that have this type of network reception.

    According to sources, the company plans to launch the phone in Barcelona.

    The company wanted to launch the phone as its first flagship product so as to expand its 5G presence in the market.

    5G Connectivity

    As most know, 5G is not really that much available in a lot of smartphones as for most companies it is still in the “testing phase”. LG is hoping to take advantage of this situation. They will release their phone in advance so as to reduce its number of competitors. But, this is not to say that it is going to win any crowns for it.

    There are still a number of smartphones out there that are going to be better competitors than the brand is expecting. There are a number of flagships that are coming this year. Even Samsung’s very own rumoured S20 is releasing this year, and this is just to mention but one.

    This year’s smartphone wars are going to be nothing short of a bloodbath so there is a lot o gearing up that users and manufacturers are to do to prepare.

    However, if there is anything that is going to make the new LG V60 ThinQ stand out is its second screen. The release of the smartphone may entail a second screen cover for the rest second screen.

    The cover may upgrade the folding structure and a free stop hinge technology. Also, it would allow the user to hold the second screen at any angle.

    I am not saying that this is the best feature of the phone. However, it is something unique and frankly, with this new range of competitive smartphones, this is generally all that a company needs to have in order to compete in the big leagues.

    Wrapping Up

    It is yet to be confirmed if LG will be able to compete and live up to its other counterparts. Even better, it is still too early to make any verdicts.

  • V60 ThinQ Dual-Screen Flagship Phone Could Launch At MWC 2020

    V60 ThinQ Dual-Screen Flagship Phone Could Launch At MWC 2020

    Many are waiting with bated breath for the MWC 2020. LG is expected to release another dual-screen smartphone at the event. This piece of news emerged from the Korea Herald. The report says that LG is working to launch the V60 ThinQ at the upcoming Mobile World Congress. The Korea Herald’s report suggests that the LG V60 ThinQ Dual-Screen will be a 5G-enabled smartphone. The device is likely to feature a secondary display, similar to LG G8X ThinQ that was released last year. However, the major difference here would be that the hinge mechanism that attaches the screens will have undergone a complete redesign. Naturally, it would be far ahead of its predecessor, V50 ThinQ.

    The hinge on the LG G8X ThinQ is designed to move 180-degrees. This means that the second screen can wrap up all the way. However, the two displays are separated by an inch or less. Due to this unfortunate gap, users cannot enjoy a flawless viewing experience. The reason behind the redesign could that the company wants to fix this issue. However, as long as there is a hinge, chances are that visual interruption will be a problem. Maybe working with software could put an end to this? We have no concrete idea of what LG is working on, but we do know that the V60 ThinQ will feature a revamped hinge design.


    A Foldable Phone Or A Dual-Screen Phone?

    Where Huawei Mate X, Galaxy Fold, and Moto Razr smartphones are all foldable models, LG is still trying to make the dual-screen hinge-design model work. While Samsung’s Galaxy Fold did not really receive any great feedbacks, it was quite better than its G8X ThinQ. Besides all this, LG has filed some patents. From a look at that, it looks like the company is working on a couple of models – one with a fold-out display and one with a rollable screen.

    LG Display has also made quite stir with supplying foldable OLEDs for smartphones, laptops, and tablets. From all this, it is apparent that LG believes in the foldable design model. Maybe the company is of the opinion that testing out its second-screen concept for a little while more will make it a better device. Although not a lot of details is known about the upcoming LG V60 ThinQ, we do know that it will feature at the MWC 2020.

    Instead of investing heavily in foldable phones, LG has chosen to focus on Dual Screen accessory. Where Samsung and Motorola are working on foldable devices, LG has something completely different in mind. The company does not seem to be changing its focus anytime soon either. The V60 ThinQ Dual-Screen is expected to be launched by LG at the MWC 2020 that is scheduled in late February. This flagship device will be released along with a newer Dual Screen accessory. The new accessory is what will feature the redesigned hinge mechanism. We are not sure if the separation will be completely gotten rid of or whether it will merely be reduced. LG hopes that with the release of V60 ThinQ, sales will increase.
