Photo supports rumor that follow-up to LG G6 is the LG G7 ThinQ
July 30, 2025
Last week wereported on a rumorfromVentureBeatwriter Evan Blass that the upcoming follow-up to theLG G6would be called the LG G7 ThinQ. Now, via some images posted atTechRadar, it’s all but confirmed that that will likely be the real name.
A month ago, LG revealed the awkwardly namedLG V30S ThinQ and the LG V30S Plus ThinQ. The “ThinQ” moniker refers to the ability of the devices to detect objects in photos using artificial intelligence. Although the two devices are definitely high-powered superphones, they were both only minor upgrades from the originalLG V30.
But with this new LG G7 ThinQ as revealed in the leaked images below, it looks like LG will be upgrading a few features of last year’s LG G6. The two most significant changes are anotched displayand a new hardware button on the side, which could be a dedicated AI button, like theBixby buttonon Samsung phones. From the photos, we can also likely confirm that the G7 ThinQ will come with a Snapdragon 845, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage.
While those specs are certainly current for a flagship device, they aren’t exactly revolutionary. In fact, the upcomingOnePlus 6will have more RAM, more storage, the same processor, and likely sell for cheaper than the G7 ThinQ.
This new device comes after a shake-up at LG where the development teamscrapped its then-current designto start over fresh. It seems that the new AI button is the only thing especially noteworthy about this new phone, so it’s kind of a let down that this is the result of those scrapped plans. Unless, of course, the button does something incredibly cool that we’re not expecting.
It’s also interesting that the LG G7 ThinQ will almost certainly have a notch, as LG tried to get folks on Redditto talk about notcheslast week. Spoiler alert: Redditors hate notches as much as you do.
It’s assumed that LG will bring the G7 ThinQ to market in May, so we could see an official announcement of the device sometime this month. Are you excited to find out what this new button does, or do the phone’s specs underwhelm you? Let us know in the comments!
