Design and Display
Here in this smartphone, the rear region is equipped with three stunning cameras. That’s one of the first yardsticks to distinguish both smartphones. Other than the added camera, almost every other aspect of its looks remains the same.
Its 6.2-inch AMOLED display is only 0.1-inch taller than the diagonal of the G8 ThinQ. At the top of this screen is the ToF camera that handles the Hand ID also known as Palm Vein Recognition. This form of recognition uses the vein patterns of the hand to secure the smartphone. That doesn’t take away the Face ID and fingerprint authentication available on the device.
Back to the screen, there’s the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that shields it from shattering to pieces when it falls. More so, IP68 certification ensures that there’s no cause for alarm whenever the user happens to run in the rain with the phone in his/her possession.
Battery and Camera
For a smartphone of this calibre, 3,550mAh battery is fit for its long term operations. Quick Charge 4+, available on the device, brings super charging speed to the smartphone. Also, Qi Wireless Charging technology enables the phone’s fast wireless charging.
Using AI, the triple rear cameras on the LG G8s ThinQ ejects perfect images and videos. The adoption of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) by the standard 12MP shooter allows undisturbed imagery taken while in motion. The supporting pair are the 13MP wide camera and 12MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture. Up front, an 8MP shooter and ToF sensor execute photography in bokeh, 3D and VR-ready modes.
Hardware and Software
Nothing changes in this segment at all. The Android 9.0 Pie dictates software flow; the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC runs at the middle of the park while a 6GB RAM co-ordinates apps multitasking. 64GB and 128GB are the options of storage you can get while purchasing the phone.
