LG V50 ThinQ to be companys first 5G smartphone, might be announced at MWC 2019

Highlights LG V50 ThinQ could be company's first 5G smartphone Might be announced at MWC 2019 Would be available in North America and Europe first With Mobile World Congress 2019 just around the corner, we’re hearing rumours that LG might not stop at announcing just the LG G8. The company may not sto at the G8 though, with rumours suggesting that LG would also end up announcing the LG V50, the company’s first 5G smartphone. 5G is the big thing for this year amongst telecom operators, smartphone manufacturers and even chipset makers. Everyone is betting big on 5G, with some companies already having pledged to produce a 5G smartphone in this year. OnePlus has done this, as has Samsung. Now, thanks to a leak from etnews, a Korean publication, we are expecting that the company will announce the LG V50 ThinQ alongside the LG G8 ThinQ at its press conference during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The leak further details that the LG V50 ThinQ will come equipped with the optional X50 5G modem. Additionally, we can expect the phone to have a 6-inch display and a 4000mAh battery. It is not yet clear whether LG will use IPS-LCD or OLED panel for the phone since the company tends to flip-flop between the two. The 5G phone is expected to launch in North American and Europe first, for a suggested retail price of $1163. According to a story by Pocket-Lint, the 5G modems in LG’s phone has been having some issues with excess heat, suggesting that the V50 might come with a vapour chamber cooler. We don’t know whether this is an issue with the X50 modem in general, a side-effect of 5G or an issue isolated to LG’s rumoured device. It would appear that after a lacklustre MWC in 2018, LG is planning to make some big announcements at the world’s biggest mobile expo this year.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses based on a patent from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
