LG had a surprise prepared for this MWC 2018. And its name is: LG V30S ThinQ. This mobile is an evolution of the LG V30. Although if we are honest, it is a mobile that shares many of the characteristics of the original model, although with a strong commitment to Artificial Intelligence or AI.
The LG V30S ThinQ is a large mobile. Such that your screen reaches until 6 inches diagonally and a QuadHD + resolution (2.880 x 1.400 pixels) that will achieve a density of pixels per inch of 538. In addition, its screen format will be 18: 9, while the technology used is FullVision, already used in the original model.
RAM memory and storage: the big differences at the hardware level
Now, if this LG V30S ThinQ is of any difference, it is in its RAM memory and its internal storage capacity. In this case we are facing a team that reaches 6 GB of RAM —They will make it even more agile—, while its capacity to save files will be 128 GB — there will also be a 256 GB version. And, of course, MicroSD cards with up to 2 TB of space can be used.
Of course, the Korean year has wanted to risk with this launch and the processor used will not be the latest Qualcomm model (Snapdragon 845), but will continue to bet on the Snapdragon 835 how good results it has given in the high range.
Photographic part of the LG V30S ThinQ: intuitive photography
In the back we will have double sensor for your camera. These will have a resolution of 16 and 13 megapixels, thus being able to play with the depth effects of our photographs, something that is already becoming a standard in the market. Meanwhile, on the front we will have another camera for video calls or "selfies" that will have a resolution of 5 megapixels. Now, new functions are added to the camera - three to be exact - and they are named: AI CAM, QLens and Bright Mode.
The first one (AI CAM) deeply analyzes all the elements of the frame and suggests to the user which mode will best suit the final result. These modes can be: portrait, food, pets, landscapes, city, macro, sunrise or sunset.
Meanwhile, Qlens will make artificial intelligence help us in our purchases. This will work after scanning a QR code with the LG V30S ThinQ camera and it will return information such as store options for your online purchase, or recommendations for similar products.
Finally, Bright Mode wants to get good shots in low-light scenes. But to differentiate itself from the competition, the LG V30S ThinQ will use a series of algorithms to illuminate captured images with a factor of two.
Voice AI: Voice commands with Google Assistant in the background
Voice commands have become one of the most important future elements for the industry. LG knows this, so thanks to Google Assistant, one of the last to appear on the Google platform, LG will be able to offer new functions to the user in its LG V30S ThinQ. And it is that the client will be able to access menu options through voice commands without having to touch the screen. In addition, all this will be exclusive to LG, so it is expected that this is extended to other models of the Korean company. The company comments on this in its press release, and that will be done through updates from , but has not commented on anything about timing.
Rugged mobile that has passed 14 military tests
Today's user uses his mobile in any situation. And that is why it is necessary that the new equipment that is launched on the market can be adapted to any situation in the best possible way. LG is aware of this aspect. Hence you have made this LG V30S ThinQ tough. And he has proven it by passing 14 military tests: resistance to corrosion; dust tests; drop tests; Rain tests; resistance test to extreme temperatures, etc..
At the moment the Korean company has not revealed the price of this LG V30S ThinQ. Although if we are based on the starting price of the original model, this exceeded 800 euros starting. We will see in the next few days if we get this information and we can offer it to you.
