LG G8 ThinQ and LG G8s ThinQ Features
Both handsets come with all new Hand ID – a new feature that provides palm vein authentication. This is enabled by use of the ToF (time of flight) Z Camera and infrared sensors, enabling users to hover their hand over the display to unlock their smartphones.
LG G8 ThinQ, on the other hand, comes with a Crystal Sound OLED, which the company says eliminates the need for a front speaker or an earpiece –
The LG G8 ThinQ is also MIL-STD 810G rated for durability, and has IP68 dust and water resistance. While the ToF Z Camera also includes Air Motion feature, which allows users to answer/ end calls, take screenshots, switch apps, and adjust volume al with simple gestures. The ToF Z Camera also enables better Bokeh as well as Video Portrait mode. It also enables more secure 3D-based face recognition that isn’t fooled by photographs. The LG G8s ThinQ is the cheaper variant of the G8 ThinQ, meant to provide G8 ThinQ offerings at a “competitive price.”
