This year we have started to see the first terminals with 5G compatibility, with the Samsung Galaxy S10 being the first to be marketed in South Korea thanks to its rapid implementation of networks. It is not surprising that the next mobile phone with 5G support will also be released in the Asian country for the first time in the market, so LG has returned to the load.

The LG V50 ThinQ 5G was announced a day before Barcelona's MWC 2019 and should have gone on sale two weeks ago, but LG decided to give it a few final touches before launch to polish possible errors and improve processor optimization for 5G networks. Finally, LG has announced that the V50 ThinQ 5G will arrive in South Korea on May 10th.

LG has taken its time to be the next company to join the 5G networks, following in the footsteps of Samsung and Xiaomi, as the latter has already released its 5G version of Mi Mix 3. The price of the V50 ThinQ 5G will be 920 euros for the 6GB/128GB model, so it will be a considerable outlay for those who want to try the networks first when they are available.
