The South Korean electronics giant LG has unveiled a new device called LG Q8 (2018), the device is a successor of last year’s LG Q8. but with some downgraded features. So, without wasting any time let’s dive into the article to know more about the device.
The smartphone looks pretty solid as it comes with military grade protection and that is ‘MIL-STD 810G‘ certified design with IP68 dust and water-resistant. That said, the company claims that the smartphone has tested in 14 conditions which includes the shock, vibration, high temperature, low temperature, thermal shock, and humidity for a stable performance.
Specification of LG Q8 (2018)
The LG Q8 (2018) sports 6.2 inch FullVision notched display and have FullHD+ resolution along with 18:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone is powered by 1.8 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 450 processor and paired with 4 GB of RAM along with the Adreno 506 GPU. Speaking about storage options, the device has 64 GB of internal storage and it can be expandable up to 2 terabytes via microSD card. Having said that, the LG Q8 (2018) also comes with the built-in ‘stylus pen’ with pop-memo, GIF editing and more.
Coming to the photography department, the smartphone has 16 megapixel rear camera with PDAF, and LED flash, along with 5 megapixel front camera with 100 degrees wide-angle lens, Portrait mode, and QLens. Furthermore, the device also has the fingerprint scanner, DTS:X 3D Surround Sound and Hi-Fi Quad DAC.
In terms of connectivity, the smartphone supports 4G, micro USB, 3.5 mm, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. The LG Q8 (2018) runs on the latest Android Oreo 8.1 and the device ships on 3,300 mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
Pricing and availability of LG Q8 (2018)
Speaking about the pricing and availability, the device is priced at 539,000 Won (approx. ₹32,930). The device will be available in Korea very soon, but there is no information about the availability of the device in other parts of the world.
Personal speaking, LG is doing the same mistake again and its the pricing strategy. As we have many other devices with the more powerful processor and features for this price bracket. I hope that the company will launch this device in the Indian market with the price tag around ₹15,000 – ₹20,000. Otherwise, the company will not be going to get a success with this Smartphone.
