New render shows what the LG G8 ThinQ might look like

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen renders for the upcoming LG flagship, but coming from the usually reliable XDA Developers team, we want to give it more of a benefit of the doubt than the others. The render doesn’t differ much from the others offered before, which suggests that the design wouldn’t look that different to the LG G7 ThinQ. LG Electronics Head of Global Corporate Communications Ken Hong has previously dismissed the earlier renders as “speculative” and “not real,” so you still need to take these renders with a grain of salt.
According to XDA, an “anonymous source” provided the design templates for these renders but they didn’t reveal new details about the phone’s internals. It’s said to be getting more advanced facial recognition, though. And one other rumoured feature coming to the phone is Sound on Display technology, where the screen’s vibrations will be used instead of a speaker (similar to what the Huawei Mate 20 Pro does). But that means there should be a smaller notch needed, since this could take away the speaker grille, and that is in contradiction with the render. What we do know is hover gestures might be coming to the new phone. LG is set to unveil its newest products at Mobile World Congress on February 24.
