During the MWC 2019 event, LG revealed the LG G8s ThinQ together with the G8 and V50 phones, but the actual S-device was not present at the LG booth. Eventually, the phone arrived Taiwan on June 28th, and today the LG G8s ThinQ is finally making its way to stores around the globe.

The G8s ThinQ is a more affordable version of the LG G8 ThinQ with a 6.21 inch Full HD+ screen and less impressive triple cameras.
LG G8s ThinQ Features
The LG G8s ThinQ comes with the flagship Snapdragon 855 chipset with all its neat features, but LG enabled only the 18W rated Quick Charge 3.0. The triple camera at the rear is made up of a 12MP main shooter, flanked by a 13MP ultrawide angle shooter and 12MP telephoto lens. At the front you will find an 8MP sensor and so-called Z camera with ToF technology.

The LG G8s ThinQ has a feature called Hand ID gestures, which allow you to unlock the phone with your palm hovering over the screen. You can also turn up/down the volume with a rotation in the air; there is also the chance to wave over the screen to take a call or to take screenshots.
The LG G8s ThinQ comes out-of-the-box with a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, but the price and exact market its arriving first have not been made official yet. Those information will be revealed by individual markets in the coming days.
