LG says it’s reserving OLED displays for V series smartphones

If you were waiting for an OLED display in the recently launched G7 ThinQ, you were probably disappointed to find an LCD display there. There seems to be a reason for the change. LG told Android Headlines that they are “saving” OLED screens for its V line of smartphones. But it isn’t about cost. According to LG, they are going to continue using LCD for the G series because it’s their “mainstream” product, while the V series appeals to a more niche market. It is also a good way to differentiate the two lines from each other, with the latter getting more premium specs and materials. It wasn’t outright said if the upcoming V series of devices will have OLED screens but it seems to be implied.
