LG Confirms G7 Upcoming Release Date with Possible Name Change

LG recently confirmed that its next flagship smartphone will be officially introduced in South Korea in late April. Preorders for the LG G7 will begin one week later and should hit shelves in mid-May.

The G7 is expected to include LG’s first ever rear dual camera to feature an f.1/5 aperture for better and brighter pictures. The controversial notch will be included as well, along with this year’s powerful Snapdragon 845 processor.

LG also confirmed that the G7 will be priced reasonably since the company managed to reduce costs by using LCD panels instead of OLEDs.

The company is reportedly considering a name change for the device so that potential customers realize it’s a brand new product. Say hello to the LG G7 ThinkQ.

Reports State, LG Working Directly With Qualcomm To Ensure Snapdragon 845 For G7

According to reports, LG is working directly with Qualcomm to ensure the G7 will have the latest processor available.

Because the Snapdragon 835 processor was tied up with Samsung's Galaxy S8, LG was forced to decide between delaying the G6's release or using last year's hardware. In the end, the company decided to use the Snapdragon 821 and although it may not be much of a difference in everyday usage, many could not look past the difference on paper.

Its likely that LG feels that the processor difference may have differed potential G6 buyers because normally, LG and Samsung flagship devices use the same processor.

The report claims that LG and Qualcomm have started working​ on the development for the new processor in early May with it being based on a seven nanometer manufacturing process.
