LG V50 ThinQ design

The LG V50 ThinQ does look identical to the LG V40 ThinQ, which was recently launched in India. The smartphone has an all-glass unibody design with a triple camera setup on the back and an LED flash.

The smartphone has a rear-facing fingerprint sensor, which indicates that the LG V50 ThinQ will not feature an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the front, the device has a dual selfie camera setup, which is again similar to the LG V40 ThinQ with a standard RGB sensor and a super wide angle lens.

Overall the smartphone has a premium design, and the smartphone is most likely to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack.
