Running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 mobile platform, the G7 features a 6.1″ 3120 x 1440 display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 1000cd/m² brightness.
The device features an 8-megapixel front and dual rear 16-megapixel cameras, both with wide-angle lenses, an AI Cam feature that automatically optimises shots based on the subject matter and Super Bright Camera, which the company says brightens dimly-lit objects by a magnitude of four without additional noise or grain.
The G7 is also among the first smartphones in the market to offer Google Lens right out of the box, which adds AI and computer vision functionalities, allowing users to see more information and perform tasks using the phone’s camera.
The LG G7 ThinQ will be available to purchase from May 31st 2018.
