LG G7 new leaked image shows optional iPhone X-like notch

The notch

Ever since the advent of the iPhone X, several OEMs have blatantly copied the notch design. LG also seems to have joined the bandwagon and is expected to implement the notch with the G7.

But the folks at TechRadar have reported that the notch would be optional. According to the video they reviewed, the feature can be switched off through the phone's software setting, allowing them to hide it behind a virtual bezel.

Expected features

The smartphone is said to come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. It could also sport a dual rear camera setup with two 16MP sensors and AI integration. What's more, the handset is likely to pack a Quad-DAC audio system and a 3,000mAh battery.

Previous rumors have hinted that the smartphone will ship with an HDR10-capable 6.1-inch touchscreen display with 18:9 aspect ratio and 800-nit brightness.

Bigger variant

ETNews further claims that LG may launch the G7 Plus alongside the standard G7. Just like the LG G6 Plus, the G7 Plus is likely to have more native storage space than the G7. Moreover, the G7 Plus could feature more RAM as well. Both models will reportedly be unveiled in late April or early May. The smartphones are said to go on sale in May.
