LG has introduced its first 5G phone and, well, in terms of upgrades it’s a far cry from the Samsung S10 5G. Basically, the LG V50 ThinQ is a V40 (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3310943/android/lg-v40-review.html) with a 5G chip in it, and that’s of dubious benefit to consumers because 5G networks won’t materialize in any significant way until 2020.
OK, there are a couple other changes: The V50 has a Snapdragon 855 processor, which is a prerequisite for use of the X50 modem. And at 8.3mm, it’s a little thicker than the V40 to accommodate the modem and handle the vapor-cooling chamber that’s needed to keep the heat down. The V50 also has a larger 4,000mAh battery (versus 3,300mAh on the V40) to offset what LG estimates is a 20 percent hit in battery life when using 5G compared to LTE.
