On February 24 , LG is expected to announced the G8 ThinQ smartphone. We've seen two supposed device renders for the G8 ThinQ, and if we're being honest, the hardware has left us wanting. Interestingly, a new report from ETNews states that the G8 may not be the only device LG unveils at MWC . In a major step away from the norm, it's being reported that the company will also announce the V50 , complete with 5G connectivity. For those who keep track, the LG V40 was launched last fall, October to be exact. In what's likely a move to keep up with Samsung, who is also on record to release a 5G device this year , LG may push up the launch of the V50 with a 5G modem to MWC in order to not fall too behind the hype. And with a push up to MWC, it's said in the same report that the phone will be available in North America sometime in March, which aligns with the previous announcement from Sprint that said it would launch the first 5G phone with LG in early 2019.
