LG introduced G8s ThinQ along with the G8 ThinQ at
the MWC back in February. Today the company has announced that the phone will
roll out globally starting this month. To remind you, the phone has a 6.2-inch
FullVision FHD+ OLED display, is powered
by Snapdragon 855 with 6GB of RAM, runs Android Pie, has triple rear cameras
that includes a 12-megapixel main camera, 13-megapixel 137˚ super wide-angle
camera and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens.
On the front it sports a standard 8-megapixel sensor
and a 3D ToF front camera that measures the distance between the subject and
the camera in millimeters to control the intensity of the background blur up to
256 levels for selfies with more depth. It also offers enhanced security with
Hand ID and Face Unlock. Hand ID uses the Z Camera’s ability to scan a user’s
unique circulatory pattern using infrared light making unlocking the phone in
the dark just as accurate as during the day. The Z Camera is Air Motion, a
touchless command interface that allow users to perform various actions without
touching the screen.
It has stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack and
DAC, 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass back, MIL-STD 810G compliance and IP68 water
