At MWC 2019, LG announced the G8S ThinQ alongside the standard version of the G8 ThinQ. Now, the South Korean consumer electronics giant confirmed that it would be releasing the G8S ThinQ in Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and more regions.
Although LG brought the G8S ThinQ to MWC 2019, the company didn’t showcase the device at its booth like it did the G8 ThinQ and V50 4G and 5G phones. The G8S ThinQ hit Taiwan on June 28 and is finally ready to make its global debut.
The new G8S ThinQ features a less impressive 6.21-inch FHD+ (2248 x1080) OLED Display as compared to the (3120 x 1440) OLED on the standard G8 ThinQ. LG’s upcoming G8S is equipped with a third telephoto lens on the back. The handset comes in three colours variants including Mirror Black, Mirror White, and Mirror Teal.
