LG V50 ThinQ 5G specs: 5G support and a 4,000mAh battery
June 17, 2025
5G is a major theme atMWC 2019this year, and it’s no surprise LG wanted in on the action. Arriving only four months after theV40, LG has now officially unveiled the LG V50 ThinQ 5G.
While the next-gen cellular technology is obviously the star feature, let’s take a closer look at theLG V50specs before we dive in further:
Full list of LG V50 ThinQ specifications
While we don’t know the specifics of the bands used just yet, the LG V50 ThinQ is designed withnext-gen 5Gin mind and isn’t just using dressed up 4G LTE-A technology under the hood (ahem, AT&T). As for network support, LG specifically mentioned the phone will be targeted toward the U.S. and South Korea — though it’s certainly possible other markets could be added a later time.
The LG V50 sports the 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and a fairly standard 6GB of RAM. Yes, Samsung offersup to 12GB of RAM in the S10 Plusbut the reality is that 6GB of RAM ismore than enough, even if it’s not quite as future proof.
The LG V50 sports a 12MP standard lens with an ƒ/1.5 aperture, paired with a 16MP super-wide lens with a 107° field-of-view, and a 12MP telephoto lens with a 45° field-of-view. Around front, the LG V40 specs include an 8MP sensor with a ƒ/1.9 aperture and an 80° field-of-view while the secondary lens features a 5MP sensor, ƒ/2.2 aperture, and has a 90° field-of-view.
The last hardware feature of note is the battery. As you’d expect, 5G puts extra strain on battery life and to compensate LG has upgraded from the V40’s 3,300mAh to 4,000mAh. LG says that 5G saps around 10 to 20 percent more battery than a standard cellular connection, but this bump should more than make up for it.
LG also a dual-screen accessory that works with the V50 ThinQ. Officially called the Dual Screen for LG V50 ThinQ 5G, the accessory features a 6.2-inch OLED FullVision display with a 2,160 x 1,080 resolution. you’re able to learn more about the dual-screen accessoryright here.
Overall, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G isn’t a big upgrade from the LG V40, and by all rights seems more like the “LG V40S” than a whole new phone. Considering the LG V40 hasn’t been on the market very long, we can’t say this is surprising.
