SeekerLG V50 ThinQ 5G
The V50 ThinQ is basically just a 5G V40 with a processor upgrade. That means both good and bad: faster internet speeds and new features, balanced out by a thicker body and slightly reduced battery life. We loved the V40, but almost a year on the V50 doesn’t feel as competitive. Then there’s the Dual Screen. This is a gimmick for most people – which might explain why it isn’t even available in the US. But it’s also a surprisingly novel way to bring the foldable experience to a much lower price point, and if you’re a devoted multi-tasker then it actually works better than you might expect, if you can forgive a few niggling design flaws.

The LG V50 is solid, but smartphone design has left it behind. It’s priced like it’s still top of the line, but it has too much competition from all sides.

Hay dos características que destacan del nuevo LG V5 ThinQ 5G. Por un lado, la conexión 5G, que hace que tenga una velocidad de Internet más rápida, pero que sea más grueso y que la batería dure menos que en el caso del LG V4 ThinQ.
Por otro lado, la compañía surcoreana ha apostado por una pantalla dual, una prestación dirigida a un público muy específico a la que poco uso le vemos. Lo entendemos como una forma de conseguir la nueva moda de los móviles plegables a un precio más asequible.
