LG set to unveil mid-range smartphone with 18:9 display

Tomorrow there will be a new LG device hitting the market. What’s special about it is it’ll be the first mid-range handset with an 18:9 display. LG is banking on the FullVision display we’ve seen in the G6, making this seem like the rumoured “G6 mini.” As the teaser image above shows, the upcoming Q6 takes its design cues from the LG flagship. The phone will have a 5.5-inch Full HD display (or rather Full HD+ with its taller resolution), an aluminum frame, wide-angle camera, and “one hand operation.” The last one refers most likely to the compact form factor.

Some reports coming out of South Korea say that there will be more than one device that’ll debut tomorrow. They say a Plus version of the Q6 is also going to launch tomorrow with more storage and RAM. The Q6 is rumored to have 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM, while the Q6 Plus will supposedly have 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. No word on the possible processor that the device will use. The cameras coming to the device include a 13-megapixel rear shooter and a 5-megapixel front camera. The devices are expected to be available globally with pricing starting at 500,000 won (around CA$560).
