Domestic robots, FHP's way to it

Robotics

Not long ago, when domestic robots were first developed, the German group Fraudenberg Household Products (FHP) entered the new world of robots with a careful analysis of market trends in-hand. The group, founded in Germany in 1849 and present in over 50 countries (with known brands such as Vileda, Wettex, Marigold, Gimi and Framar), is …

LG’s Display Showcase OLED TV concept comes with a bold skeletal frame and no bezels - Yanko Design

LG Velvet Review

Quick Saves

It's nice to see LG go in a new direction and although the DualScreen case makes this a faux folding phone, there are various issues and strong competition to consider. Should I buy the LG Velvet? Pros Stunning design Affordable dual screen Battery life Cons Camera issues DualScreen issues Slow charging Our Verdict The Velvet is a stunning phone at a reasonable price, but rivals have more to offer if the DualScreen doesn't tempt you enough. Price when reviewed $700 Things have been a little quiet for LG recently but the Korean giant is back with a new strategy for the smartphone market. But can the Velvet stand out in a busy market as a ‘low-end flagship’? I promise this isn’t an attempt to avoid the question so you read the entire review, but the answer is complicated. The Velvet is certainly a step up for LG in some ways, particularly design and the DualScreen case adds an interesting element. In fact, it’s more than that, but it’s also not a great solution and for the more tech savvy buyer, the Velvet has some tough competition. NOTE: Please be aware that LG sent me the Korean version of the Velvet so there are some hardware and software differences to the edition that will arrive elsewhere. I'll point these out as we go. Design: A sight for sore eyes We don’t always start with this section in reviews these days, instead focusing on what is most important about the product we’re reviewing - particularly. Design is the key thing here though as LG has really gone to town on the Velvet to create a desirable smartphone. Arguably LG has been doing that for a long time but many of the firm’s phones from the last few years have been poorly received. It’s not that they were suddenly ugly, but in general the competition was moving quicker. Well the Velvet brings things up to speed with an extremely slick and polished design, quite literally. This is almost entirely a slab of shiny glass with an aluminium band running around the edge to separate the two pieces. Like a certain Korean rival (you know the one beginning with S), the metal gets extremely thin along the sides and the glass is curved at the edges on the front and back. It’s a lovely piece of craftsmanship and I also love the rain drop arrangement of cameras, with only the main lens sticking out a tiny bit which makes a nice change from the huge modules we’re now used to seeing on the back of phones. It's also IP68 waterproof. Although it’s a sight for sore eyes, there are a few things about the design which I’m not so keen on. It’s pretty common so this isn’t a pop at LG but the glass makes it incredibly slippery and there’s no case included in the box. The Velvet repeatedly tried to slide off my garden table onto the looming concrete below despite being pretty level. The phone is also extremely tall. Another thing that’s pretty standard these days but the 20.5:9 aspect ratio is really pushing it. I have reasonably large hands but it’s near impossible to stretch to the top third of the 6.8in display. I’m not a big fan of white tech so the Aurora White didn’t do it for me but the Velvet comes in some really nice colourways including a stunning green and if you really want to make an impact, Illusion Sunset. It’s clear that LG has gone down a more fashionable route with the Velvet calling is ‘minimalistic design, premium finish’ and on that front I think it really fits the bill. DualScreen Now to tackle the DualScreen case which adds another display to the Velvet. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that this setup is just like the LG V60 and you’re right, it’s near identical. The Velvet slots into the case easily enough and like magic you have two phones side-by-side. LG Velvet DualScreen Whether or not this makes it a rival to the likes of the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate Xs is up for debate, but this certainly can’t be called a folding phone. It’s better to think of it as a cover case that happens to have a display on the inside and therefore a cheaper alternative. It’s a neat trick and the case turns the Velvet into a sort of Nintendo DS style device with it’s hard plastic case with hinges that can rotate 360 degrees. This is largely so you can use the main phone to type without the second screen being in the way of your left hand. First the good bits… The DualScreen has a small 2.1in mono screen on the front which gives you some key info such as the time, date, notifications and battery info. It’s pretty handy but note that you can’t interact with it. LG Velvet DualScreen display The main benefit is being able to run two apps side-by-side. It’s like holding two identical phones next to each other only a lot easy to use, so if you like multi-tasking but want an entire screen for each app then this is perfect. LG even provides a folder of shortcuts to launch a different app on each screen and you can create your own combinations. A pop-up menu on the main screen allows you to select various DualScreen functions like move an app to the other display or switch one off etc. It’s worth noting that the DualScreen’s display is identical to the Velvet’s, even including the notch. There’s no camera but it’s easier for LG to manufacture this way and does provide symmetry so although it irks me a bit, I do understand the reasoning. LG Velvet DualScreen gaming You can also use the pair in landscape mode (like a Nintendo DS) which can work really well for some productivity elements but mostly gaming. LG provides software so you can put a virtual controller on the bottom screen while dedicating the top one to the actual game. This makes playing games like Asphalt 9 a lot easier to play, and you can map the buttons to any game. It will work better for some games and not others, though. And the bad bits, I hear you cry… Well the Velvet inside the case might be thinner and lighter than the V60’s iteration but it’s still bulky and isn’t the kind of thing you can carry around in a trouser pocket. The DualScreen is better suited to sitting on the coffee table and being put to use around the house. Since the Velvet plugs into the case via a physical USB-C port, charging while docked means attaching a small magnetic attachment which provides the space to plug a cable in. It’s nifty but is just asking to be lost within a few weeks. The Velvet does have wireless charging luckily but you can’t charge the phone and use it at the same time that way - if you have lost the attachment. LG Velvet Whale browser A bigger problem is how apps are used across the two screens. Sure it’s fun to use a different app on each screen but it can’t do a whole lot beyond that. LG includes a Whale for LG Dual Screen custom browser which shows off how the two can work together. For example, double clicking a link will open the page on the other screen. It’s neat but you can’t do this Chrome or other apps and it’s unlikely developers will adapt apps for this specific LG case. What you can do with Chrome - and other Google apps like YouTube, Gmail, Maps and Photos - is run them in ‘wide-view’. Oddly this has to be switched on for individual apps in the settings menu and allows them to run across the displays like it’s one big one. But as Henry put in the LG V60 review “it obviously looks terrible thanks to the honking great hinge in the middle” and that’s no different with the Velvet's DualScreen. Using YouTube cut my colleague’s head in two and attempting to use Google Maps just meant I ended up putting the focal point on one of the screens to see it properly - so it’s no wonder LG doesn’t just let you put any app you like across the two in this view. LG Velvet DualScreen Wide View It’s a real mixed bag for the DualScreen element as it’s not a viable alternative to a proper folding phone - both in physical size and functionality - but does provide some useful ways of doing more without having to splash out. What I don’t know is whether LG is bundling the DualScreen with the Velvet or not. Hopefully it comes included in the price giving the Velvet a key selling point, even if it is just an accessory you attach occasionally. Screen Back to the Velvet itself and although the screen is too tall for my liking, it is quite striking and not solely due to the curved edges. LG, of course, knows how to make displays and you get an OLED panel here with bags of colour, excellent contrast and plenty of brightness to boot. I’ve found it a joy to use in almost all aspects. If you’re a more geeky user then there are elements that may dissuade you from getting the Velvet though. Namely the fact it’s 60Hz when you can get higher refresh rates from various rivals, even in the budget market thanks to devices like the Realme 6. Pushing things to 90Hz or even higher provides a smoother experience but I don’t think the LG Velvet is aimed at users who know what this stuff means. LG Velvet screen You could also argue that rivals have a higher resolution but the Velvet is perfectly crisp for my liking and the choice to go Full HD+ combined with a standard 60Hz is good for battery life. LG has managed to get a fingerprint scanner embedded into the display, which is optical like the V60. At first I found it pretty flawless but it did struggle on various occasions even when my thumb wasn’t wet. Specs & Performance To achieve a more affordable price point, LG has avoided Qualcomm’s top tier 800 series processors and gone with the slightly lower 700 range. In Korea, the Velvet comes with a Snapdragon 765 and elsewhere it gets the 765G. Either way, this chip has 5G and makes the phone an affordable option if you want the latest standard. It’s another indication that the Velvet isn’t aimed at anyone who will be looking at the spec sheet for the processor model number. Either way, I’ve not had any performance issues with the Velvet and I’ve been testing the less impressive Korean model, so anyone buying the phone will get a boost thanks to the 756G. You get a decent 128GB of storage and either 6- or 8GB of RAM, plus a microSD card slot. Overall it’s perfectly good, but if you are the kind of person who wants the best specs around then the Velvet isn’t for you. Check out the OnePlus 8, for example, especially if you’re looking for something more affordable than the likes of the Galaxy S20. My benchmark results are below but note once again that this is testing the Korean model of the Velvet with a Snapdragon 765. I've added the obvious rivals but also the Realme 6 to show what you can get at the budget end of the market these days. Cameras I mentioned earlier how nice the raindrop arrangement of cameras looks really nice. It’s a shame that none of them are particularly amazing, though. Although there are three, one is a depth sensor so this is really just a main 48Mp with an 8Mp ultrawide option - a combination, I might add, LG was doing long before rivals started to add a wider angle addition. Sure, the main 48Mp can take some shots with a good amount of detail and vibrant colours. Note that like other phones with high resolution sensors, it’s actually outputting a 12Mp image. You can take full 48Mp resolution images if you like for extra detail but it’s not worth the extra storage space and the drop in dynamic range. LG Velvet cameras I’d rather have an ultrawide camera than telephoto and this creates a much wider shot with still decent quality. It’s just not as easy access in the app compared to other phones, having to toggle the zoom to 0.5x which I didn’t find intuitive. You can use this to zoom in 2x but this is just a crop of the main sensor. That said, the results aren’t too bad at all thanks to the high resolution sensor. There’s no macro lens here but the main camera can take decent close-ups and on phones with a dedicated macro camera, I’ve found the main camera to be better anyway. Low light and night isn’t the Velvet’s forte, but results aren’t too bad either. It’s the portrait mode, arguably the most important mode, which disappoints the most. This is surprising considering the dedicated 5Mp auxiliary camera for depth estimation. As you’ll see in the gallery below, the phone just struggles to cut things out properly for that blurred background effect. I found the selfie camera far more impressive with excellent results in both regular and portrait mode. Even though the latter isn’t perfect, the Velvet did a good job of cutting around my hair with only a minor slip that most people won’t notice looking at the photo briefly. In terms of video, the Velvet can shoot at up to 4K at 30fps, or you can get 60fps at 1080p if you prefer. There’s no optical image stabilisation here but the software does a decent job of eliminating movement and shake. Panning is trickier but it’s not bad. Overall the quality is pretty good with lots of detail and accurate colours at 4K, with low noise. However there are issues at 1080p with an over processed look at 30fps and poor rendering at 60fps. Battery Life As I alluded to earlier, LG’s choice of specs combined to not only hit a more affordable price than many rivals, but aids battery life. The Velvet has a decent 4300mAh battery and can easily last through a day of varied usage for the average user. Of course, hammer it with gaming - especially running the DualScreen - and you’ll need to top it up a lot sooner. I’ve had some issues with the battery benchmark but will add the figure once I’ve got it. LG offers reasonable 25W fast charging but getting to 31% in 30 minutes starting from 0 is nothing to write home about. Still, I wasn’t expecting to find wireless charging here so that’s a nice extra. Perks & Software An odd subheading I know but it’s worth praising LG for elements such as a headphone jack. It’s mad but that’s a real bonus and the firm continues to look after those who care about audio. Although if you are an audiophile, it’s bad news because the Velvet doesn’t have a Quad DAC like the V60. This, I imagine, is part of the change in strategy and to save money. Still, the stereo speakers are very impressive with better sound than most budget Bluetooth speakers and you can try LG’s 3D Sound Engine from the quick settings. This aims to adjust the sound appropriately to what’s playing. I preferred the regular sound but you might like it. I can’t comment fully on software as I tested the Korean version of the Velvet, but ignoring all the pre-loaded apps that I can safely assume won’t come on a western model, the software is decent. It’s a clean and colourful look that’s hard to find offensive really - with the caveats of the DualScreen stuff I covered earlier. LG Velvet DualScreen menu LG gives you the option of things like the app drawer and whether to have on-screen navigation buttons or the more modern gesture way of controlling the phone. I used the latter which was mostly fine, but like some others, I found that swiping sideways often triggered ‘back’ when I wasn’t trying to do that. Price So how much is the LG Velvet? We're waiting for UK details, but LG has confirmed that the phone costs US$700 and 650 Euros and from what I can gather the DualScreen is only included if you pre-order. I really think LG needs to bundle the case as standard to lure customers but that's easy for me to say. Regardless, it means LG has stiff competition even if it does undercut phones like the Samsung Galaxy S20. The iPhone 11 and OnePlus 8 are both extremely accomplished phones which outclass the LG Velvet in most ways - disregarding the DualScreen since it's not included. There are also a number of devices that are excellent at much lower prices. Lots to choose from but the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Asus ZenFone 6 all spring to mind from the mid-range. And you can get some seriously impressive budget phones like the Realme 6, which is just £219. Check out out best phone chart to see what we rank as the best handsets you can buy. Verdict I find the LG Velvet a particularly hard phone to sum up, especially while we wait for UK details. I applaud LG for nailing the premium design and build quality of the Velvet (and getting rid of the ThinQ branding), but it's not like other phones out there are exactly horrible in comparison. Whether this is the phone for you depends on where you're coming from: Are you bothered about having the best specs and performance - ie a phone geek? The LG Velvet isn't for you considering it's lack of things like a 90Hz display, telephoto camera, flagship processor and other things you're probably looking for. Are you looking for a stylish, premium phone cheaper than most flagships? Maybe the Velvet catches your eye, but if you're not an LG diehard then there are plenty of rivals with a lot to offer, many of which are at lower prices. For me it comes down to whether or not you're taken with the idea of the DualScreen, despite its shortcomings. If you are, and we may be down to a small number of potential buyers now, then the Velvet is a great choice - especially if LG decides to bundle it as standard.

Technology News - LG V50 ThinQ review: Does Sprint’s first 5G phone deliver? Read more Technology News Here --> https://digitaltechnologynews.com As we resolutely cross the threshold into the 5G era, there are a wave of “firsts” popping up in the market. The LG V50 ThinQ, for example, is the first Sprint 5G smartphone. The V50 is a warmed-over upgrade to last year’s V40, with 5G serving as the primary feature. Sprint’s 5G network provides more access than competitors AT&T and Verizon do at the moment, but that may change over time. Is the LG V50 ThinQ worth the 5G premium? What if you don’t live in a Sprint 5G market? We answer these and other questions in Android Authority‘s LG V50 ThinQ review. About our review: We tested the LG V50 ThinQ over a period of two weeks. We were able to spend some time with the phone under the umbrella of Sprint’s 5G network, though most of the review was conducted in 4G-only areas. The review unit, provided to Android Authority by Sprint, was running Android 9 Pie with the May 1, 2019 security patch. Show More LG V50 ThinQ review: The big picture If you want to own one of the first 5G phones, your selection is really limited. You’ve got the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G on Verizon, AT&T (business customers only), and Sprint (from June 21), and the LG V50 ThinQ on Sprint. These are the only phones with 5G built-in, and you’d better believe they’re premium devices that command top dollar. If you’re a Verizon customer on a budget, you can slap the 5G Mod onto either the Moto Z3 or Moto Z4, neither of which has native 5G. The V50 ThinQ is LG’s flagship phone and it goes head-to-head with Samsung. It’s a hearty offering, packed with technology. In addition to 5G, remember that the V-branded devices are LG’s media-focused series, with extra camera, video, and audio features in tow for capturing the highest-quality content. Cramming so much into a single chassis is a tall order. Let’s dive into our LG V50 ThinQ review to see if LG made it all work. Where is Sprint 5G available? Sprint 5G service is currently available in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Kansas City. It will come soon to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C.. What’s in the box Quick Charge 3.0 charger USB-A to USB-C cable 3.5mm earbuds Microfiber cloth LG kept the box contents simple and straightforward. In addition to the V50 ThinQ, you’ll find a high-speed wall plug, cable, earbuds, and a polishing cloth. I am happy to see the 3.5mm-equipped headphones, even if they don’t carry a brand anyone would recognize. There are no adapters in the box, nor is there even a simple case. Design 159 x 77 x 8.4mm, 183g Gorilla Glass 5 3.5mm headphone jack MicroSD expandable storage LG has not made a truly distinctive smartphone in what feels like years. Sure, the V50 ThinQ is a sultry black glass slab, with aluminum providing the frame, but the simple lines and generic curves lack bravado. The phone is almost indistinguishable from last year’s V40. The major differences are these: The rear panel glass is curved on all four sides where it meets the frame. I like this. And the camera module is now entirely flush with glass (similar to the LG G8 ThinQ), creating a seamless surface. I like this, too. Everything else about the phone is more or less identical to its predecessor. LG covers the flagship basics. Gorilla Glass 5 is front and back. The phone meets MIL-STD 810G for durability, but I’m not going to be the one to throw it down a set of stairs to test that rating. The V50 scores IP68 for protection against water. Indeed, I put the phone in a bucket of water and it came out none the worse for being wet. This means you can sweat on it, spill on it, and accidentally drop it in the pool, but don’t leave it at the bottom for too long. LG has not made a truly distinctive smartphone in what feels like years. The glass panels are perfectly polished. In fact, this phone is overly smooth. It is among the most slippery handsets I’ve handled. It doesn’t like to sit still and will silently glide off any surface that isn’t level. Be careful where you put the phone. It’s a big piece of hardware. You’ll find it’s about the same size as a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, or Google Pixel 3 XL. It’s smaller than the Galaxy Note 9. I don’t think it is too big, but the slippery glass makes it hard to use one handed. I often had to grip the V50 tightly in one hand and use the other to poke at the screen. A dark gray finish gives the aluminum frame a smokey look. The frame wraps around the entire outer edge, which holds the majority of the controls and ports. The screen lock / power button is on the right side and is joined by the dual-purpose SIM card / MicroSD card tray. Separate volume buttons and a dedicated Google Assistant hotkey are on the left side. All the buttons are easy to find and offer perfect feedback. The V50 ThinQ could easily be mistaken for nearly any other black phone. The bottom edge features the USB-C port, speaker, and 3.5mm headphone jack. LG has been serious about supporting the headphone jack, particularly on the V series. Glass stretches across the entire back surface. There is no camera bump and I’m happy about that. One neat touch. There’s a glowing 5G logo above the camera lenses. It pulses yellow when the display is on. The fingerprint reader is located on the back, right where your index finger expects to find it. The reader was easy to train and worked reliably and quickly. Face unlock is available, but it’s a less-secure option that could be fooled by a photo. I’m surprised LG didn’t carry over the high-tech 3D face unlock from the G8. My biggest gripe with the hardware is that it doesn’t stand out. The V50 ThinQ could easily be mistaken for nearly any other black phone. I wish the phone were available in hot rod red or some more unique color. Otherwise, it’s a perfectly functional device that handles the must-haves in fine fashion. Display 6.4-inch Quad HD+ OLED Full Vision 3,120 by 1,440 pixels, with 538ppi 19.5:9 aspect ratio Notch LG makes excellent displays and the large panel that adorns the front of the V50 ThinQ is another such example. Thanks to the boat-shaped notch, the aspect ratio extends to 19.5:9. It’s a tall screen, though not as tall as Sony’s odd 21:9 panels. The screen emits pleasing colors, plenty of light, and incredible clarity. LG allows you to adjust the resolution: Quad HD+, Full HD+, or HD+. The latter two will save a little bit of battery life compared to the first. While your eyes can’t truly spot the difference between Quad HD+ and Full HD+, stepping the resolution down to HD+ does reduce clarity somewhat. Sticking to the middle option is likely the best balance for most people. What’s neat is you can set the screen to automatically switch from Full HD+ to Quad HD+ when you have high-quality content to watch. Colors are accurate to the eye. Pure whites showed no hint of blue or yellow, and I didn’t see a color shift when viewing the screen from different angles. You can choose from several different color profiles if you wish to change the overall tone. Brightness is quite good. I was able to use the phone indoors and out without concern for the sun. LG’s software includes controls over the blue light filter for keeping your eyes comfortable. You can also opt to hide the notch via software. This is an approach I have come to appreciate. LG calls it the New Second Screen. The LG V50 ThinQ has an excellent display that measures up to the competition. See also What is 5G, and what can we expect from it? You've likely heard the term a lot recently, but what is 5G? Good question. Simply put, 5G networking is the next major evolution of mobile wireless technology. It will empower customers with even faster data connections, … Performance Snapdragon 855 S0C 2.8GHz octa-core, 7nm process 6GB RAM 128GB storage Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 delivers strong performance across the board. The V50 ThinQ may be limited to 6GB of RAM, where some competitors pack 8GB, but the phone still ran like butter. I didn’t encounter a single problem no matter what task I threw at it. Screen transitions were smooth, apps opened in an instant, and the phone never made me wait when using the camera or playing 3D-rich games. Benchmark tests bore this out. The V50 ThinQ delivered crushing results. On Geekbench 4, it nabbed 3,473 for single core and 11,029 for multicore; and on 3DMark, it scored 5,596 on OpenES GL 3.1 and 4,724 on Vulkan. These results put the V50’s performance ahead of 98 percent of all other devices in each benchmark’s respective database. In other words, the only phones that are faster likely also have the Snapdragon 855 under the hood. The AnTuTu results, which rated 333,654, surprised me. These CPU, GPU, and memory tests put the V50 ahead of only 70% of devices. Heat didn’t seem to be a problem. LG built a heat pipe into the device and it channels thermals away from the processor. This helps keep performance at its best. If you live in a Sprint 5G market you can expect quick download speeds. How fast is Sprint 5G on the LG V50? You can expect to get quick download speeds. I tested the V50 on Sprint 5G in Dallas and saw average speeds in excess of 190Mbps, with peaks reaching nearly 700Mbps. Sprint’s 5G isn’t as fast as Verizon’s 5G, but it is more widely available in the launch markets. You’ll have to check Sprint’s coverage map to find out exactly which neighborhoods have access. Battery 4,000mAh lithium-ion Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Qi wireless charging LG ticked off all the right boxes when it comes to the V50’s battery. It’s a large power cell that can be charged rapidly when plugged in, or wirelessly when dropped on a charging mat. I tested the battery in and out of 5G coverage zones and saw quite a stark difference between the two. In areas that have only Sprint LTE 4G, the V50 ThinQ pushed through a day and a half without problem. Screen-on time varied a bit depending in the display resolution. I saw about 6 hours of screen-on time with the screen set to Quad HD+, 6.0 to 6.5 hours with the screen set to Full HD+, and 6.5 to 7.0 hours with the screen set to HD+. I always used the phone with all the radios on and the display set to auto-brightness. When tested on Sprint's 5G network, I destroyed the battery entirely in about five hours. When I tested the phone on Sprint’s 5G network, I destroyed the battery entirely in about five hours. I saw it drop from 100 percent to 30 percent in that short timespan. Keep in mind, I was using it extensively to run speed tests on the network, and I had the screen set to full brightness much of the time. Still, I haven’t seen a battery plummet that quickly since the early days of 4G. The phone powers up quickly via the included charger. Plug it in for 15 minutes and the battery will jump by 30 percent, giving you hours of additional use. Qi-based wireless charging is on board, too. The phone is compatible with most wireless chargers sold today and was able to recover its charge fairly quickly.

The LG V50 ThinQ has cameras. Three on the back and two on the front, to be specific. Like the current flagships from Samsung and Huawei, the LG has standard, telephoto, and wide-angle lenses on the rear. These are joined by standard and wide-angle selfie cameras on the front. The idea is to give people the greatest possible range of shooting options. This is the norm for a modern flagship. LG ported its fine camera app from the G8 to the V50 ThinQ. It pops open with a double-press of the volume-down key. Core shooting modes include auto, AI cam, portrait, studio, and manual. The portrait tool allows you to dial in the blur in real time. Three little boxes at the top of the screen let you switch rapidly from the telephoto to the standard, to the wide-angle lenses. If you’d rather dial in the exact amount of zoom, you can still pinch your fingers on the screen. The software will seamlessly switch to the proper lens. A strip of controls on the side of the viewfinder makes controlling the flash, adding filters, or adjusting the settings a snap. The V50 ThinQ has two selfie cameras, a standard 80-degree lens and a second 90-degree lens. This secondary shooter lets you take wider selfies. See below. LG V50 ThinQ Review sample photo regular selfie LG V50 ThinQ Review sample photo wide angle selfie I found the camera app to be a little slow to lock in focus, but this is an ongoing issue with LG phones. I noticed the same thing on the LG G8. Once the app snapped the shot, it was quick to process and save the image so you can return to shooting. In general, the photos are solid. I wouldn’t say they’re up to Galaxy S10, P30 Pro, or Pixel 3 levels, but they aren’t terribly far off. Sunny scenes give the sensor lots to work with and colors look really nice. White balance was sometimes off, and you can see the red flower below blew out the sensor a bit. Sharpness was hit or miss. Sometimes the camera dialed in focus perfectly and other times it left my subjects a little soft. Noise is also an issue at times. You can see some compression artifacts in the dark areas of some photos. I wouldn't say photos are up to Galaxy S10 or Pixel 3 levels, but they aren't terribly far off. The portrait and studio modes do a fairly good job with bokeh-style shots. The edge between subject and background was never perfect, but at least it didn’t come across as comical. The studio tools let you play around with lighting to give your portraits a little extra something. LG skimped out on the night mode. Where Google, Huawei, and others have created dedicated night modes for better night photography, LG says people who wish to brighten up a night shot can simply dial up the exposure. This isn’t the best solution and the photos turn out a grainy mess. LG could have done much better. Video options abound. The phone can shoot slow-motion and time-lapse, as well as HDR10 in real-time. This gives video a bright, vivid look with lots of contrast. You can record up to 4K video at 60fps, which is really smooth. The V50 ThinQ is a fine shooter, though not an extraordinary one. You can see full resolution photos samples here. Audio 3.5mm headphone jack 32-bit Quad-DAC Bluetooth 5 with aptX HD Stereo speakers If LG does anything right with its phones, it is to give them incredible audio performance. The V50 ThinQ has stereo speakers when you combine the earpiece at the top and the woofer on the bottom. The sound isn’t perfectly balanced — the woofer woofs louder — but it’s effective enough when casually watching YouTube clips. The headphone jack supports a 32-bit quad DAC with DTS:X Virtual Surround. This means you get a top-notch experience when using wired headphones (or plugging into a real stereo system.) LG’s software makes it possible to select preset EQs or dial in your own. I particularly like the DTS:X effect when watching movies. LG has further refined its far-field voice recognition so the phone is better able to hear and understand you from afar. This works surprisingly well in noisy spaces. Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD is available for your best Bluetooth headphones. If you’re into capturing audio, you can take advantage of the HD audio recorder and select between concert, normal, and custom modes. There’s a lot to fool around with. The audio sounds very good. Last, of course, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD is available for your best Bluetooth headphones. The sound quality via Bluetooth was excellent. Software Android 9 Pie The V50 ThinQ runs Android 9 Pie from Google, along with LG’s user interface skin. The UX feels natural in some ways and heavy-handed in others. Naturally, you can adjust it to suit your own preferences. I like that you can opt between a home screen with or without an app drawer, whether or not your Google Feed appears as the left-most home screen, and whether the settings menu is arranged in tabs or a list. If you’re at all familiar with Android, you’ll find plenty of familiar behaviors. The dedicated Google Assistant button has two functions. A single press launches Assistant, and a double press shows your info feed, much like what you see on a Pixel phone sitting on Google’s Pixel Stand. Some may balk at the dedicated hardware for Google, and I did accidentally press it quite often. The UX feels natural in some ways and heavy-handed in others. As always, LG lets you configure your own set of taps to wake or unlock the screen, install themes, and rearrange the app drawer. Important to note that LG does not have the best track record for software updates. The company is only just now pushing Android 9 Pie to last year’s G7 and V40 phones. If you’re anxious to see what’s new in Android Q, you’ll be better served with a Pixel.

Sprint sells the LG V50 ThinQ only in the markets where its 5G service is available. You can’t even buy the phone online if you’re outside of the coverage zones. That means the majority of people cannot buy the device, at least not yet. The full retail price is a painful $1,149. That’s about $48 per month for 24 months. However, Sprint is clearly interested in getting people signed up for its 5G service. The company is offering the phone for a half-price lease of $24 per month. You have to subscribe to a 5G service plan in order to get that lease price. Sprint’s 5G plan, called Unlimited Premium, costs $80 per month per line. It includes unlimited data, talk, and text, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Twitch Prime, Tidal HiFi, and 100GB of 4G mobile hotspot. It’s a hefty plan and the $80 is a fair asking price. Almost any phone is worth $24 per month. At that price, you can’t ask for much more given the V50’s selling points and overall performance. What’s not clear is how long Sprint will offer the affordable lease. LG V50 ThinQ review: The verdict The LG V50 ThinQ may not have an inspiring exterior, but its performance is solid. It’s a well-made piece of hardware that covers all the bases a flagship should. I wish battery life in 5G zones were a tad better, and I wish the camera offered a little more pop. Other than these small blemishes, the phone does really, really well. If you’re a Sprint customer in a 5G market, there’s no excuse to not buy this phone.
