LG V30S ThinQ VS LG G7 ThinQ – LG’s ThinQing smartphones. LG have extended the ThinQ into their smartphones. The LG ThinQ is said to be brand from the South Korean company, which brings together premium appliances and consumer electronics under one banner. Products that bear the ThinQ branding will be artificially intelligent, which means the products will have the help of artificial intelligence. The first smartphone under the ThinQ platform is the LG V30S ThinQ, which is an upgrade to the 2017’s LG V30.
Following the LG V30S ThinQ is the LG G7 ThinQ. The LG G7 ThinQ is an upgrade to the 2017’s LG G6. According to LG, more smartphones are on the way under the ThinQ platform, like the LG V35 ThinQ. Both the LG V30 ThinQ and LG G7 ThinQ have A.I powered cameras. Although the name ThinQ sounds somehow to the ear than any new initiative or development is welcomed in the technology market.
