New LG smartphones - ambiguous devices from the Korean brand

Unlike Chinese colleagues, the LG brand does not stamp new models in batches, and the rulers are updated methodically and accurately. It is difficult to judge how well it works, since the brand cannot become a sales leader, which means that something doesn’t work with smartphones. Nevertheless, LG is known for its innovations - a curved device, a coating that wipes out spots itself, and other curious chips. One of the best trumps of the company - POLED displayThis is a kind of Samsung response with their AMOLED matrix. The technologies are generally the same, because both are based on matrices with self-luminous pixels, but the difference between the LG variant is a plastic substrate, it is from here that the name of the technology appeared P. Below are the innovations of LG smartphones of 2018, as well as the expected 2019 models.

LG G7 ThinQ

The flagship of the company, which in a number of parameters exceeds all that the brand has created earlier. The matrix has an aspect ratio of 18.5: 9, a diagonal is 6.1 inches, the resolution is QHD +, the type is SuperLCD (a kind of IPS). Screen feature in high brightness - 1000 nits. The model shows itself perfectly in bright sunlight.

The second feature is smart camera. The device has 19 scenes that allow you to choose the best settings for a particular situation. The rear camera is represented by two matrices: a wide 16 megapixel and 16 megapixel with an enlarged aperture. The model itself understands the conditions, and if there is little light, it will turn on the night mode. The main camera is 8 megapixel with the ability to shoot bokeh and a wide angle capture.

The third key feature is improved speakers and built-in sound processor, which gives a 3D sound. In the company, the new speakers are called the Boombox, as they have high volume and excellent bass.

Important! The phone has IP68 protection, which implies the safety of the device in the water. The device is not afraid of dust and was tested to obtain a safety standard for military standards.

The device has a Snapdragon 845 chip, 4/64 GB of memory. The device is equipped with NFC, has two Wi-Fi standards, the case has a separate button for quick access to a Google assistant, which can be activated from a distance. The case of the model is glass with a metal edging, there are four color options - black, platinum, blue, red.3000 mAh battery. Price at the end of 2018 - from 40 thousand rubles.

Now the model's price tag has become more loyal, but at the time of release it was extremely illogical to buy it for 60 thousand rubles. The main points that did not allow the device to become better than the flagships of competitors are listed below.

1. Weak autonomy.
2. The camera, though smart, is far from the best. I don’t want to talk about the frontal one, since 8 megapixels for a device for 40 thousand rubles looks like a mockery.
3. Objectively, with Snapdragon 845 4 gigabytes of RAM is more than enough, but the vast majority of devices have the same price of RAM, and this has weight.
4. The volume of the internal drive is also not the best, it would be understandable if the device had a separate slot for a memory card, but, unfortunately, it is not.
5. According to reviews, new the button to call google is more likelythan is beneficial.

Although the model takes the first place in the catalog of novelties, it turned out to be ambiguous and most likely fans and those who do not particularly look at technical parameters like it. For customers who compare different devices when choosing, this unit is likely to seem not the most interesting offer.

LG Q7

Among the novelties of the LG 2018 smartphones, there are not only true flagships, but also so-called flagships of the middle price segment. Thus, Q7 + is positioned, but it will be a question of its younger version, which is slightly weaker than the older device.

Case - glass and metal, 2.5D glass technology, FullView screen, 5.5 inches, FHD +, IPS matrix. Features:

• frontal camera with bokeh effect;
• headphone surround sound;
• fast focusing on moving objects;
• the search function information about things on the photos;
• fingerprint scanner has the function of scrolling, and can also take photos and screenshots;
• model has fast charging;
• IP68 and military grade protection STD-810.

The device has the following characteristics: MediaTek MT6750S, memory - 3/32 GB, camera - 13 MP, front camera - 8 MP. Battery - 3000 mAh. The device is equipped with NFC. Price - 16 thousand rubles.

Another new smartphone in 2018 from LG, which turned out not very logical. On the one hand, it is good - there is protection, a high-quality matrix, a good design, NFC, but the device’s performance is weak. The buyer will have to think about what he wants to see more in the device - performance or security.

On a note! The older version of the Q7 + is more memory - 4/64 GB, slightly more productive chipset and 16 megapixel camera. The rest of the model is similar. The price tag starts from 20 thousand rubles.

LG Q Stylus +

Among the novelties of the smartphone LG 2018 there was a place device with a stylus. The company has been doing something similar for several years, and this year has not become an exception. The device is supplied not only with a stylus, but also with a special software. For example, you can write on the screen off, or use the stylus to make a GIF image. New all also with military protection and IP68 class. 7-channel sound is reproduced in headphones, the camera has a bokeh effect.

By and large, the model has the same features as the above-considered Q7, only here they did not begin to make a multifunctional finger scanner. Diagonal - 6.2 inches, FullView, 2160 * 1080, IPS. Memory - 4/64 GB, processor - MT6750S, camera - 16 MP and 8 MP. Battery - 3300 mAh. There is NFC. Price - from 22 thousand rubles.

The device is released in three versions, and this modification is the most powerful in terms of parameters. The device will appeal to those who really need a stylus - draws, keeps notes, works on a smartphone. Otherwise, there are many devices on the market with a much better processor at the same price.

LG V30 +

Among the LG 2018 smartphones, there is another flagship, which for Russia is presented in a slightly modified variation with a plus sign, and is sold as V30 for the whole world.

On a note! Official words of the manufacturer: “The V30 will not arrive in Russia, but a model V30 + will appear, with a larger memory capacity - 128 GB. The analysis shows that this version is more relevant for Russia. ”

At the start of sales, the V30 + cost 60 thousand rubles, just like the first device in the review, the G7 ThinQ. Of course, it becomes very interesting how the models differ.

1. The main difference is in the matrices: if the previous version works with IPS, then this version is used POLED matrix, which was mentioned above.
2. The camera here is objectively better, the maximum open aperture makes great shots at night.
3. Bang & Olufsen soundThese guys understand how to make the device sound great, and in playing music or movies, the phone is really very cool.
4. Last chip and again associated with the camera - excellent videos with the ability to choose one of 15 effects of shooting, stylized for different movie genres.

The hardware is quite typical for hardware: Snapdragon 835, 4/128 GB of memory, FullView 6-inch screen, QHD +, support for HDR10, Gorilla Glass 5. Camera - 16 + 13 Mp, main - 5 Mp. 3300 mAh battery Price - 33 thousand rubles.

The latest models of smartphones from the LG brand all the time raise questions. On the one hand, there are very good moments, but then you start to think - why the flagship doesn’t use the most top-notch processor, why put such a weak front-facing camera into the device for big money, what is the difficulty to increase autonomy. There are many questions, but the company does not give answers, apparently, because of such nuances, it is impossible to conquer the market.

LG V40 ThinQ

Analysis of the new 2018 smartphones shows that in 2019 LG will work in a similar way - update your main rulers. There is no news yet about whether any original device will appear in the company's arsenal, which was not there before. Chinese brands, without waiting for 2019, began to produce smartphones with a new concept - sliders with retractable cameras, devices with 5-6 cameras at once, there is talk of flexible and absolutely frameless smartphones.

Among the expected innovations of smartphones in 2019 from LG there is nothing special, but just recently, the LG V40 ThinQ was announced, which has already been named the new flagship of the company. The model received 4 colors, and the main focus is again on sound and photo. It is known that the new product works on Snapdragon 845, will have 6/64 GB of memory, 6.4-inch screen. Of the features that the company has already reported:

• dual front camera 8 and 5 MP;
• a triple matrix at the back is 12 megapixel with a larger pixel, a 16 megapixel wide-angle matrix and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens.

Expected price - 60 thousand rubles.

There are no other details about the model yet, but from what is already known, we can safely say that the company is not going to correct its mistakes, and even in the flagship does not offer anything fundamentally new.You should not surprise anyone with a triple matrix, as well as a weak front-facing one. The chipset is powerful, but it was possible to wait for a fresh version, given the fact that the device will not be cheap at all.
