Highlights:
LG’s last year flagship smartphone, LG V40 ThinQ, is now available for purchase in India. The device was first unveiled in October last year and it took its own time to reach the Indian shores. Amazon previously hosted a preview banner for the phone, hinting that it will be exclusive to the platform but didn’t reveal its pricing. The handset sports a total of five cameras, three on the back and two on the front. It features a 19.5:9 OLED display with a notch on top and is also MIL-STD-810 certified with IP68 water and dust resistant rating.
The LG V40 ThinQ features a 6.4-inch QHD+ OLED FullVision display with 3120×1440 resolution, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and a 19.5:9 display aspect ratio. It runs on last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor coupled with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS2.1 internal storage. The internal storage on the phone can be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card. As mentioned above, it is IP68 water and dust resistant with Military-grade (MIL-STD-810) certification.
In terms of optics, the V40 ThinQ comes equipped with a triple primary camera setup. It features a 78-degree standard, a 45-degree telephoto zoom, and a 107 degree super wide-angle lens. An interesting feature is the device’s ability to capture an image in all the three modes with a click. The standard main camera sports a f/1.5 12MP sensor with 1.4µm pixels and it also supports Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Dual Pixel AutoFocus. The telephoto lens is paired with a 12MP sensor with f/2.4 lens, while the wide-angle lens gets a 16MP sensor.
On the front, the device gets an 8MP, 26mm standard lens that is paired with a 5MP, 21mm wide angle lens. The cameras on the phone also use AI for composing shots by recognising people in the frame and helping users frame the image using “rule of thirds” composition. The device is backed by a 3300mAh battery that supports fast wireless charging and Quick Charge 3.0. There’s also a BoomBox speaker and a 3.5mm audio jack on the phone, which can relay audio via a 32-bit Quad DAC.
LG has priced the LGV40ThinQ at Rs 49,990. The smartphone comes in one memory variant with 6GB RAM, coupled with 128GB of internal storage, and is available in Blue and Grey colour models. Launch offers on the phone include a 10% instant discount for those who buy it using an HDFC Debit or Credit card, along with a free screen replacement offer worth Rs 16,750, No Cost EMIs for upto 12 months, and an added exchange offer of up to Rs 5,000.
