LG G8X renders prove waterdrop notch ahead of possible IFA declaration

The renders show off a rear glass panel with a dual-photographic camera setup

LG'south next flagship device could be on the fashion, according to leaked 5K renders and data from an IFA invite.

To beginning, Twitter leaker OnLeaks (@OnLeaks) and Pricebaba partnered to share 5K renders and a 360-degree video of the rumoured upcoming LG G8X.

Pricebaba says the G8X is the LG G8 ThinQ's successor and sports a similar design with a rear glass console. Farther, the G8X features horizontally-aligned rear cameras placed underneath the back glass panel, like the G8.

Around the forepart, the display includes a waterdrop notch for the forepart camera. It'due south significantly smaller than the G8's notch, which means at that place likely isn't enough room for a Confront ID-style security arrangement. Information technology also raises questions virtually the time-of-flight sensor and other hardware needed for LG's Paw ID and Air Motion features. While the G8X could feature those sensors elsewhere, it'south not clear if the phone will have them at all.

Farther, the G8X renders evidence the rear of the device doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. Coupled with the lack of facial recognition hardware, the G8X will probably have an in-brandish scanner instead.

The G8X could have a slightly larger display than the G8

Pricebaba notes the QHD display measures in at 6.2-inches (merely a pilus bigger than the G8'south 6.1-inch screen). It has sparse bezels on the side, with slightly thicker bezels on the summit and lesser. Additionally, the telephone's overall dimensions are 159.3 x 75.8 x 8.5mm.

Information technology's too worth noting that there is a speaker grille at the top of the display. Information technology indicates the G8X won't have the G8's Crystal Sound OLED speaker, which vibrates the screen to produce sound.

Every bit for ports and buttons, the G8X will reportedly have a power push on the right edge and volume up and down keys on the left. It'll also accept another button below the volume rocker, likely for Google Assistant like on the G8. The top edge is dwelling house to the SIM card tray, while the bottom has the speaker, USB Blazon-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The G8X is expected to use a Snapdragon 855 or 855+ chipset as well.

Across that, non much more than is known about the LG G8X. Even so, Dutch website Android World received an IFA invite from LG. The invite noted the G8X would launch in the Benelux — a collective name for the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium — in the fall.

With that in listen, nosotros tin expect to larn more nigh the G8X at IFA, which starts on Baronial 31st.
