recently launched the LG G7 ThinQ in India, exclusively on Flipkart. First introduced in May this year, the phone is a late entrant in the country’s smartphone market. However, for its price tag of Rs 39,990, it offers a solid list of specifications and features that make it count as a flagship smartphone.

Design and Display •

Built on the template of the LG V30+ and the LG G6, the LG G7 offers the best of both worlds in a package that looks premium. The phone has a glass-metal-glass design, a notch-based 6.1-inch QHD screen on the front, and a four-side (4D) curved glass on the back. The notch screen is an improvement over the 18:9 aspect ratio screen that the G6 and V30+ had. Though the notch is small and looks identical to most currentgeneration smartphones like the OnePlus 6, it has an optimised area around it which the company calls ‘second screen’.

The second screen is enabled by default, but can be turned off from settings. It can also be customised for a different colour to make it look different from the rest of the screen area. The screen area around the notch shows app notifications, making it better than many other notch screen-based smartphones.

•

On the back, the phone has a dual-camera module aligned horizontally on the upper-middle side, with a circular fingerprint sensor below it.

The glass back looks plush but is a fingerprint magnet that dulls its sheen. Overall, with a camera module that sits well within the chassis, the phone’s back looks clean.

Battery •

The LG G7 is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery that keeps it going for almost a day. For a smartphone with super bright display, always-on feature and QHD resolution, the on-battery time is respectable.
