LG, which recently underwent a corporate shakeup in order to avoid sinking into oblivion, is apparently in no hurry to release its 5G-ready and foldable handsets. The company reportedly already has a plan lined up for next year, and by the looks of it, it will be taking things nice and steady. The beleaguered manufacturer is tipped to kick off 2019 with the Snapdragon 660-fueled 6.1-inch LG Q9 that will have 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, and a decent 3,000mAh battery. However, as far as the company’s plans as for its flagship range, that will come much later.

After launching the LG Q9 in January at the CES 2019 trade show in Las Vegas, the company is expected to release the G8 during MWC in February next year. Surprisingly enough, the high-end phone will only support 4G LTE according to the latest report from ETNews, as the company is apparently preparing a separate 5G flagship which will not be a part of the G series. Rumored to be launched in April, the alleged 5G smartphone will be released under a new branding. It is likely to be launched in South Korea and the U.S. initially.
