Samsung has been reported numerous times to reveal a 5G smartphone at next year’s MWC 2019 trade show. A special variant of the Galaxy S10 is expected to be 5G-ready but it will only be launched in a few markets. Side by side, LG is also reported to release a 5G flagship to stay relevant in the market. The Korean giant has been doing well when its home appliances division is concerned, but the company’s mobile business continues to post losses. Perhaps the launch of a 5G handset might propel the manufacturer to new heights.

According to a report from The Korea Herald, LG might launch an upgraded variant of the G7 ThinQ featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 and Snapdragon X50 5G modem. It has not been confirmed if the new model is going to be called G8 ThinQ but there’s something else you should know. The Snapdragon X50 5G can work with the Snapdragon 845 and Snapdragon 835 as a separate chip, so it is possible that LG incorporates next year’s flagship with Qualcomm’s previous-gen silicon, while giving it support for 5G.
