The LG Q6 was recently presented in society. This mid-range mobile wants to scratch some market share, since the manufacturer had somewhat forgotten this range of terminals. However, he wanted to upload something the ready and bet on a really eye-catching terminal that can fight in high places.
LG Q8, with double everything
The first thing that catches the attention of this new mobile is that it has a double screen on its front.

Its resolution is 160 x 1.040 pixels.
Meanwhile, its other double peculiarity and that is already becoming a standard is its double rear camera. It consists of a double sensor: one of 13 MPx and another of 8 MPx; in combination we will be able to play with the depth of the captures, as well as add other effects. And video? Well tell you that the LG Q8 is capable of recording 4K quality clips and capturing slow motion to 120 fps. As for its front camera we will get a 5 megapixel sensor. This will be reserved for the popular selfies or to video calls.
Guaranteed power and possibility to submerge underwater
The new LG Q8 wants to compete with those above. So the manufacturer could not back down and had to bet on adding a high-end processor from Qualcomm. And so it has been: the choice is a Snapdragon 820. This chip enjoys 4 process cores and works at 2,15 GHz clock frequency. But so that you are not alone, a RAM memory has also been added to match: 4 GB that will ensure good operation in future updates.

According to the company, you will have a whole portable hard drive in your pocket. And is that the LG Q8 is capable of holding up to 2 TB inside.
Now, if there is something that LG has known how to play well with, it has been the possibility of taking it into the water. The LG Q8 has IP68 certification. This means that you can submerge it under water. Now, for 30 minutes and a maximum of 1,5 meters deep.
Battery to match and Android 7.0 Nougat

This means that on a single charge you should be able to enjoy enough energy to handle a full day. Now, as you well know, the figures always depend on the use of each user.
