Rumor: LG G9 ThinQ will still enter the market, but will be a non-flagship smartphone with a Snapdragon 765G chip

At the beginning of the year, we wrote that LG would abandon the flagship G-series smartphones, but it seems that this is not

quite like that.

What is known

According to MyDrivers, Koreanthe manufacturer is working on the LG G9 ThinQ (successor to the LG G8 ThinQ), but this time the new product will not receive top-end hardware. Instead of the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, the device will be equipped with a weaker Snapdragon 765G chip. This is an octa-core SoC built on Samsung's 7nm EUV process.

Why the company would take such a step, the source does not knowreported, but we can assume that all for the sake of lowering the price. Thanks to this, the device can cost not $1000, but $500-600. By the way, if you believe the leaks, exactly the same situation awaits the Google Pixel 5 smartphones this year.
