As we can see from the specs above, the LG G8S ThinQ comes with some upgrades in main specs but with a lower resolution screen.
First, on the OLED screen: the screen of G8S ThinQ increases from 6.1 to 6.2 inches, but decreases the resolution to Full HD+ (2248×1080 pixels) instead of the Quad HD+ of the most expensive device.
Then, in the cameras, the G8S ThinQ offers better triple rear cameras with 13MP super-wide angle lens, 12MP standard lens and 12MP telephoto lens compared to the dual rear cameras of the LG G8 ThinQ.
Battery wise, LG G8S ThinQ offers larger battery capacity with 3550mAh compared to the 3500mAh of the LG G8 ThinQ.
In addition, LG has also eliminated some functionality on LG G8S ThinQ. Boombox Speaker, which vibrates the OLED screen to deliver more powerful stereo sound and bass, is out of the picture, as are remote speech recognition microphones and 32-bit Quad DAC Hi-Fi to handle high quality headphones.
One of the features LG highlights is the Z Camera, which relies on a flight time sensor (ToF) to provide more accurate biometric recognition. In addition to the 3D facial reading, LG says the component is able to read its hand with the Hand ID, which "scans a user's unique circulation pattern with infrared light, making the unlock in the dark as accurate as during the day. According to the manufacturer, palm recognition is safer than digital recognition, which is also present in the device.
Another use for the sensor is Air Motion, which helps users control their smartphone through gestures. Ideal for those who are driving, it allows them to answer or close calls, take screenshots, change apps and increase or decrease the volume.
The price of the G8S ThinQ has not yet been disclosed. It will be available "as of this month in selected markets in Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and others," according to LG. In the United States, the most complete brother, G8 ThinQ, was launched for $849, slightly less expensive than the competitor Samsung Galaxy S10 ($899). However, the latest leaks reveal that the LG G8S ThinQ will be a more affordable version of the LG G8 ThinQ, so it is expected to be sold at lower price.
