MWC 2018: LG V30S ThinQ Officially Announced with New Integrated AI

The LG V30 was announced at IFA 2017 last year, a phone that focuses on video recording. 6 months later, the company announced the LG V30S ThinQ at MWC 2018. Well, that’s a weird name…

In terms of specs, the V30S ThinQ is quite similar to the V30. It has the same screen, same processor, same cameras, IP68 water and dust resistant, and even same battery. However, LG has increased the RAM to 6GB, while the storage now has 128GB (V30S+ ThinQ has 256GB).

Additionally, the company has also added Vision AI to the camera, which includes three new features: AI CAM, QLens, and Bright Mode.

AI CAM analyzes subjects in the frame and recommends the optimal shooting mode among eight categories: portrait, food, pet, landscape, city, flower, sunrise, and sunset. Each mode enhances the characteristics of the subject taking into account factors such as the viewing angle, color, reflections, lighting, and saturation level.

QLens takes further advantage of the image recognition capabilities of the AI technology to scan QR codes to improve the online shopping experience. Capture an item of interest with QLens to get information as to where to buy the product online at the lowest price as well as recommendations for similar items. Perform an image search with QLens to see matching or similar images of food, fashion, and celebrities or detailed information about landmarks such as buildings and statues.

Low-light photography on the LG V30S ThinQ gets a huge boost with Bright Mode. Instead of measuring only ambient light like most smartphone cameras, this AI feature uses algorithms to brighten images by a factor of two for better-looking photos without the noise.

The LG V30S ThinQ runs on Android 8.0 Oreo. The device will be available in two colors: Moroccan Blue and Platinum Gray. Unfortunately, chances for this phone to hit our shores are low, since the V30 wasn’t even officially available in Malaysia.
