LG G9 Will Reportedly Launch In The Mid-Range Segment, Not Flagship

Recent reports have revealed that LG will likely change its smartphone strategy, and the upcoming LG G9 phone may no longer be a high-end flagship smartphone. Unlike the previous smartphones in the G series, the upcoming LG G9 ThinQ will only be equipped with a mid-range chip, Snapdragon 765G, instead of the top-end Snapdragon 865.

That means LG V60 ThinQ will be the only high-end smartphone from the Korean phone company to take on the likes of other flagships on the market. Using only Snapdragon 765G processor will help LG reduce production costs, while still providing decently-powerful performance. And especially, Qualcomm's latest mid-range processor has 5G support, and it has a modem chip built into the processor.

Some notable smartphones currently equipped with Snapdragon 765G are ZTE Axon 11 5G, Oppo Reno 3, Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G, and Nokia 8.3 5G. Most of these smartphones are priced at around Rs. 45,000, so the LG G9 will most likely be priced at the same price range.

Traditionally, LG launched G series smartphones in the second half of the year. However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak this year, it is likely that the launch of the G9 will be postponed. So far there has been no official announcement from LG about the launch of the G9 smartphone.

The design and other specifications of LG G9 remain a mystery. However, LG does not often show us unexpected and impressive innovations. So it's not surprising if we see the LG G9 still have a waterdrop screen and a horizontal rear camera cluster.
