LG G8 ThinQ, G8s ThinQ With Triple Rear Cameras, Hand ID, SD855, 3D ToF Z Camera Launched

The LG G8 ThinQ and LG G8s ThinQ smartphones have been officially announced at the MWC 2019 event in Barcelona. LG G8 ThinQ comes in Carmine Red, New Aurora Black, and New Moroccan Blue color options. The LG G8 ThinQ and the LG G8s ThinQ are now available on the Amazon.com online website.

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 – though the company’s iconic BoomBox Speaker is retained at the bottom, and now capable of stereo output. It is now capable of stereo output with new Crystal Sound OLED (CSO) technology that utilizes the phone’s OLED display as an audio amplifier. It has DTS:X, 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) technology.

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.”
