The LG V40 ThinQ has been revealed, it has five cameras!

LG’s new flagship phone is different than other phones while improving its main camera; it adds an extra two on the back for more photography prowess.

Multiple cameras on a mobile phone are definitely not new, having a dual-camera on the back is nearly an industry standard for high-end flagships (except Google). The Huawei P20 Pro even pushed the boat further by adding three cameras on the back, but LG has a better idea.

LG has a total of five cameras, three on the back and two on the front. It gives the LG V40 a lot of versatility when it comes to taking photos. It features a standard camera, super wide angle camera and a telephoto camera that offers 2x zoom.

The design of the LG V40 is not a lot different than the earlier LG G7, it has an aluminium frame surrounded by a glass sandwich. The design of the new device is as nice as can be in a world full of glass flagships; it doesn’t feature the bright colours of Huawei but does feature a notch.
