In the wake of reports that the LG G7 will not be at this year’s MWC tech show in Barcelona, it is now emerging that the South Korean company will instead unveil a new variant of the LG V30 at this event.
After reexamining its options, LG has reportedly ordered the development of the LG G7 to begin from scratch. This decision has meant that the company won’t be ready to stick to its usual strategy and unveil the LG G7 at the MWC 2018, rather, we may have to wait until somewhere in April.
To keep fans busy as they wait for the next flagship, the company is reportedly planning to give the LG V30 a bump. The new variant could be called LG V30+, but we already have a V30+ variant on the market. To make it a little different from the other LG V30 variants, this one will include AI-based features meant to take advantage of the Google Assistant and possibly more.
Apparently, the idea behind LG releasing a tweaked version of an existing phone is so as to make up for the losses made by the company’s smartphone division over the recent past by reusing existing parts to increase efficiency. It has already happened with the LG Q6 and Q8, two phones that borrow a lot from the LG G6 and LG V20, respectively.
The upgraded LG V30 is expected to help LG stay afloat the smartphone market, especially at a time when Samsung will have unveiled the Galaxy S9. Both phones will start selling in mid-March.
