The recently launched flagship phone from LG; the LG G7 ThinQ has been getting mixed reviews across the web but most of those have been positive. The device in itself looks a lot like The V30 and also follows in the footsteps of most Android flagships this year with the iPhone X-type notch display.

While this is the case for its design, the LG G7 ThinQ excels in other areas with several new features. I'll take you through five (5) of those new features in this post;

Super Bright Display

LG opted for an IPS display over an OLED on the G7 which is quite surprising. But the 6.1 QHD+ LCD display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, amongst other things, is capable of achieving 1000 nits max brightness thanks to the 'Super Bright' display tech. This will particularly make outdoor usage much more productive for people who operate their smartphones under bright sunlight.


Google Lens

The LG G7 ThinQ is the first to utilize its inbuilt camera for Google Lens . This is an AI feature that combines the Google Assistant and Google Photos to identify objects such as books, animals, sights and plants which is been pointed at. You can also get information for such objects on the go.



Standalone AI button

On the left side and just below the volume buttons of the LG G7 ThinQ is a new AI button that can be triggered to activate Google Assistant. Double tapping of the button lets you activate Google lens while long pressing and holding prompts a kind of "walkie talkie" feature which allows for a longer interaction with the bot. The microphone comes with a new voice recognition feature that can listen to your voice commands from five meters away. Sadly though, this button cannot be remapped for another use.


3D sound with DTS:X

The speaker on the LG G7 ThinQ can achieve 3D sounds with the new DTS:X tech which makes virtual surround sound come alive on compatible headphones for all types of contents be it audio or video. In addition, the device has been fitted with a single Boom Box speaker which boosts audio quality by using every bit of spare space in the phone as a resonance chamber to create a kind of woofer effect. This is 10 times more than what some flagship smartphones offer right now.

AI Camera upgrades

LG is big on cameras as we have witnessed with the V30S and V30 in the past. The LG G7 ThinQ follows that footprint as well. According to the company, the camera will be able to automatically detect and optimise its settings for 19 different shooting modes. These include AI settings for everything from food and pets, to nature and close-up shots.

There is also a Super Bright Camera mode which can be used in low-light conditions to ensure pictures taken appear crisp and sharp.
