LG V60 ThinQ 5G & A 5G-Enabled LG Smartphone To Launch At MWC 2020

In September, Korean phone maker LG announced the G8X ThinQ, which featured a DualScreen accessory. The handset later arrived in India last week with a price of Rs. 49,999. In addition, a 5G model of the same phone had been announced in South Korean under the name LG V50s ThinQ back in October. New information emerges and it suggests that the brand is planning to launch a new flagship at MWC 2020 in February. Industry sources, cited in the South Korea Herald, revealed that the brand will release a new 5G flagship along with the V60 ThinQ 5G in February.

The LG V60 ThinQ will arrive as a 5G-enabled smartphone, packed with a DualScreen accessory. To recall, the second accessory included with the V50 ThinQ has free stop hinge technology that allows users to hold the second screen at an angle that they want. As for the V60 ThinQ, its included DualScreen accessory is tipped to feature an enhanced folding tech. A mysterious industry official claimed that the first 5G phone LG planning to launch in 2020 is the V60 ThinQ as it wants to expand the company’s presence in the 5G market. He further suggested that the company also aims to raise its shipments in several markets such as South Korean, Japan, and the US.

The South Korean publication doesn’t reveal the exact identity of the upcoming 5G-enabled flagship device that will arrive alongside the V60 ThinQ. At MWC 2019, the brand showcased the V50 ThinQ 5G with a DualScreen accessory, G8s ThinQ, and G8 ThinQ. The two LG G8 models didn’t support 5G network, but there is still a good chance that LG will announce G9 ThinQ and G9s ThinQ with 5G connectivity support. For now, there hasn’t been any confirmation regarding the specifications of the V60 ThinQ and G9 ThinQ lineup. However, we expect to see at least one of the three smartphones featuring the new Snapdragon 865 SoC with a Snapdragon X55 modem for the 5G network.
