The LG G7 ThinQ in Q: A Deep Dive into its Features and Design

One of the first things you'll notice on the screen is the notch at the top, which is a signature feature of many modern smartphones. However, LG has added a new twist to this design by offering a second screen option that can be customized to suit your preferences. To access this setting, head to Settings and then select the Display area. From there, you'll see an option for "Second Screen." By tapping on this button, you'll notice that the notch disappears, and the screen transforms into its traditional notification mode.

But what's interesting about LG's implementation of the second screen is that it doesn't behave quite like a traditional secondary display. Instead, it allows you to customize the configuration of the notch itself. If you want to get rid of the notch altogether, simply tap on the "Custom" button, and the screen will darken, displaying the typical long bar notification area without the notch. Conversely, if you want to bring back the notch, just tap on it again.

The LG G7 ThinQ in Q is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SOC, which runs at an impressive 2.8 GHz. This is accompanied by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM, which provides ample storage for the operating system and apps. However, one of the standout features of this device is its expandable storage option, which comes in the form of a microSD card slot.

A Quick Tour of the LG G7 ThinQ

Let's take a closer look at some of the other features on this device. On the back, you'll find a 3.5mm audio jack, a microphone jack, and a USB-C port that doubles as both charging and syncing capabilities. This is complemented by a Boombox speaker port, which allows for impressive audio capabilities thanks to DTS:X 3D surround sound and LG's high-fidelity quad DAC.

Swinging around to the other side of the device, you'll find the power button and lock button on one edge, with another microphone port tucked away at the top. The SIM and microSD card tray is cleverly hidden inside a small compartment on the bottom edge of the phone.

The LG G7 ThinQ in Q boasts a 3000mAh battery that powers everything, including its impressive dual-camera setup. On the front, there's an 8MP shooter, while on the back, you'll find two 16MP sensors - one standard and one wide-angle lens. The standard camera has an f/1.6 aperture, while the wide-angle lens boasts a wider f/1.9 aperture that captures 107 degrees of field of view.

LG has cleverly configured these cameras to work together seamlessly, with the ability to switch between the two sensors on the fly. One sensor is dedicated to taking depth maps for portrait mode shots, allowing for beautiful, blurred backgrounds without having to manually adjust settings during composition. You can even edit those settings afterwards.

But what really sets this camera apart is its AI-driven capabilities. The LG G7 ThinQ in Q features an "AI Cam" mode that uses machine learning algorithms to identify objects and offer optimized shooting modes on the fly. This means you'll get better results from your shots, especially when it comes to capturing fruit or other subjects with varying lighting conditions.

Finally, let's talk about the Boombox speaker system that LG has cleverly integrated into this device. The speaker itself is located at the bottom of the phone, but due to its sealed enclosure design, you'll get deeper bass and louder volume than on many other smartphones. We put it through some rigorous testing, playing Prince's music for a few minutes, and were impressed by the sound quality that filled the room.

With all this technology packed into one device, the LG G7 ThinQ in Q is sure to impress anyone looking for a top-of-the-line smartphone experience. Whether you're a photographer, an audiophile, or just someone who wants a solid device with impressive specs and features, this phone has got it all.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone marco Chiappetta for hot hardware here to show you a brand new smartphone from LG this is the LG G 7 pin Q this is the company's brand new flagship mobile device now the first thing you'll notice looking at this guy is that beautiful screen it has a 6.1 inch diagonal qhd+ resolution screen now this is an LCD but it's a RGB W it has a dedicated white pixel so you get some really nice brightness up to a thousand nits of brightness on this phone so it's a more visible in bright light conditions or outdoors now the other thing you'll probably notice on the screen is that notch at the top so LG is known for offering a second screen on some of their devices that have notifications and shortcuts to some apps now this one doesn't behave quite like that but what LG does allow you to do is sort of change the configuration of that notch so if we go to settings and we go to the display area there's this new second screen option we'll jump right into there and now if you want to lose the knotch just bang hit that custom button you'll see that the screen blacks out you have the typical long bar notification area and the notch is no longer visible because the screen has sort of changes configuration if you want it back bang it's just a one touch away powering the LG G seventh in Q is a qualcomm snapdragon 845 SOC it's an optic or chip running it up to 2.8 gigahertz there's also four gigabytes of RAM and that 64 gigabytes of ROM read-only memory to hold the OS and for storage the device is however expandable with microSD card let's take a quick tour of the LG G 7 let me flip it around to this side first now here you have your volume rocker typical volume up and down buttons this guy here though this is a Google Assistant button press this and the Google assistant pops up and LG tells us for now that's all this button is going to do based on consumer feedback some other functionality may come to this button but it is not program at this time so let me flip around to the bottom next here you have a 3.5 millimeter audio jack a microphone jack USB C charge and sync and this is the boombox speaker port so this device is capable of some really impressive audio it has DTX 3d surround built-in and LG's high fight quad DAC so some impressive audio capabilities on this phone now let's swing around to this side there is your power and lock button nothing much on that side and up on the top another microphone port and this is the combo sim and microSD expansion tray inside the LG G 7th in Q is a 3000 milliamp hour battery powering everything and right up here at the top you can see the dual 16 megapixel cameras so on the front there's an 8 megapixel shooter but on the back here there's 2 16 megapixel sensors one is a standard camera one is wide-angle the standard camera does a 71 degree field of view with an f16 aperture but the wide-angle does 107 degrees with an f1 9 aperture now LG configured it this way so that the wide-angle shots have minimal distortion along the sides and should you be shooting in portrait mode with this camera one of the sensors will be dedicated for doing the depth map while the other takes the shot so you can get those nice blurred backgrounds with some intelligence built into the photo and you can adjust those after the fact you don't have to take care of it during composition you can change those settings after you've taken the shot we also want to show you the boom box speaker system of the LG G 17 q this thing has some really impressive audio for a smartphone so the speaker itself is on the bottom but the entire enclosure because this is sealed for four ip67 water and dust resistance LG is using the volume of the back cavity as an enclosure for the speaker so you get deeper bass and actually some really impressive volume out of this thing we have some from some music from Prince right now and I'm gonna crank up the volume and let you hear this hopefully it comes across great on video it's basically filling the room but I have a sound pressure meter and we are putting a hundred DG's kind of just going right now one of the really cool features of the LGG sevens camera is its AI cam feature so on the device there's AI capabilities that will identify an object in a shot and then offer you the optimized shooting mode so right now we have some some fruit on a table here and if you notice if I get in here on these lemons down here at the lower right it says fruit and if I tap that I now have different options for the lighting on the fruit optimized for the particular shot that I'm trying to take and if I swing around to the back here try to get these apples in there it's still identified as food obviously but you get the idea that a camera has some intelligence to offer you an optimal shot depending on the lighting and the angle we hope you've enjoyed this quick look at the LG G seven BenQ we should have a full review of the
