LG V40 ThinQ Leak Reveals Five Cameras, G7-Inspired Notch

LG is currently preparing its next top-of-the-line smartphone, which is rumored to be called the LG V40 ThinQ. Based on the recently leaked images of the handset, it appears LG is equipping it with five cameras overall.

This week, MySmartPrice published what it claims to be “the most credible images of the LG V40 ThinQ.” According to the news outlet, the device — codenamed “Storm” — is going to launch with three back cameras and two front-facing snappers based on the images.

The publication learned from sources that the triple-lens setup at the back of the LG V40 ThinQ will likely feature a 12MP+16MP+12MP combination. The primary 12MP lens is said to come with an f/1.5 aperture and 1.4μm pixels. The secondary 16MP lens, on the contrary, is said to feature an f/19 aperture, 1.0μm pixels and, quite possibly, an ultra-wide angle lens. As for the third 12MP lens, it is expected to come with an f/2.4 aperture, 1.0μm pixels and 2x optical zoom.

On the other hand, the dual-camera module up front will likely be composed of 8MP and 5MP lenses. No information about their specs was released. But given that the LG V40 ThinQ is going to be a premium phone, it wouldn’t be surprising if the front cameras will have very competitive specs and features.

Notable leakster Evan Blass has also shared a photo of the LG V40 ThinQ on Twitter. Blass revealed in his caption that the handset in the photo he shared is the AT&T version of the LG V40 ThinQ. Interestingly, the phone in Blass’ post matches the one in MySmartPrice’s images, including the wallpapers shown on their displays.

The LG V40 ThinQ is believed to come with a 6-inch P-OLED display with QHD+ screen resolution and 19:5:9 aspect ratio. The handset’s aspect ratio is similar to that of the LG G7 ThinQ because it will also come with a display notch that can be disabled through software settings.

Earlier rumors claimed LG could be unveiling the V40 ThinQ in October. However, new reports are saying that the device will mostly likely be introduced to the public in November, during the holiday season. Android Police reports that the launch date for the Android flagship could be on Nov. 16. Should this be the case, then the upcoming phone will come a bit later than the previous installments in LG’s V-series of phones.
