LG is slated to host a special event in Barcelona on February 24 on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 where is scheduled to release its two flagship devices - the LG G8 ThinQ and the LG V50 ThinQ.

The three newly launched phones feature LG's HD+ FullVision display along with AI functions, such as its AI cam, that is typically found in premium flagship smartphones. The three phones also come with a dedicated button on the left side that can be used to invoke the Google Assistant - a feature that they share with the LG G7 ThinQ that we reviewed last year. Additionally, the three phones also feature LG's DTS:X 3D Surround Sound - another feature that is common in LG's premium budget phones - that help them deliver a high-quality audio experience.
The LG Q60
The LG Q60 has a 2GHz octa processor in its core and it comes with 3GB RAM and 64GB internal memory that can be expanded further using a 2TB microSD card. It has a 6.26-inch 19:9 HD+ FullVision Display and a water-drop notch that houses a 13MP camera. On the back, the phone comes with a triple-camera setup with a 16MP camera with PDAF, a 2MP with Depth Sensor and a 5MP with super wide angle lens. It comes with a 3,500mAh battery.
The LG K50
The LG K50 too comes with a 6.26-inch HD+ FullVision display and a 2GHz octa core processor. While it comes with 3GB RAM like the LG Q60, it comes with 32GB space that can be expanded using a 2TB memory card.
On the camera front, while it comes with a 13MP selfie camera-a feature that is similar to the LG Q60, it features a dual-camera setup at the back with a 13MP with PDAF and a 2MP with depth sensor. Apart from that, it comes with a 3,500mAh battery.
The LG K40
Earlier this week, rumours suggested that LG might launch the LG K40 at its MWC 2019 event. But as it turns out, it has decided to launch the budget K40 prior to its February 24 event.
