LG will unveil its flagship V30 smartphone later
this year. Now concept image of “Project Joan”, a.k.a. the LG V30 has surfaced
online, thanks to @evleaks. The image shows a slide out design just like the
BlackBerry Priv, but this has a secondary screen instead of a hardware
keyboard.
The image also shows a unibody metal design and dual
rear cameras. It also shows several use cases for the secondary slide-out
screen such as display of Weather and time when the phone is locked, keyboard
when chatting and more.
Recent rumors from Korea said that LG will be
switching to OLED displays on its flagship smartphones instead of LCD, starting
from the LG V30 since they will be ramping up the production of OLED panels
from July. Since the images of the V30 are mockups, it is not clear if the
final version will look like this.
The LG V30 is expected to be announced in the last
week of August, ahead of IFA 2017 that starts on September 1st.
