With the G7 ThinQ 64GB Unlocked Smartphone from LG, you get a dual 16MP camera system with brains. The AI Cam of the G7 can recognize up to 19 subject items in your shot, such as whether the subject is a person, or the picture type is a close-up photo. After snapping a pic, the AI Cam gives you 4 filter options that best enhance you shot. It even knows when you're shooting in low-light situations, and will automatically increase the brightness for you.
At 1000 nits, the G7's 6.1" QHD+ FullVision display is super bright and readable, even in direct sunlight. The G7 ThinQ gives you the option of sticking with edge-to-edge FullVision for maximum screen real estate, or you can ditch the notch for a smooth top, using that extra bit of space for a notification bar.
