LG Q7 in Development; Trademark Suggests

South Korean smartphone manufacturer LG is working on the next flagship successor of the LG G7. But a new report suggests the OEM is also working on a device in its Q series called LG Q7. The smartphone has been recently spotted via LetsGoDigital in the database of Korean Intellectual Property after the company applied to trademark the name, which hints the device launch is at the door. Very little information is available about the specs and availability of the smartphone. So, the best logical decision will be to take a second look at its predecessor, LG Q6.

The LG Q6 was a mid-range segment smartphone, so it’s safe to assume the Q7 will be placed in the same. The Q6 was the first smartphone in the Q series and launched last year in July, featuring a 5-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of FHD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels). It was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset with two memory options:  2 GB RAM + 16 GB internal storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB internal storage.

LG launched another model in the Q series called the LG Q8, which featured an aspect ratio of 16:9 but had a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It also had a more powerful chipset, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, and 4 GB RAM.

So the LG Q7 is supposed to fit between these two from a market perspective, likely priced between 350 Euros and 600 Euros. But it will be interesting to see whether the Q7 will be more like the Q6 budget segment or the Q8, which is aimed at high-end specs at a medium price. If the company follows the previous launch schedule, we could see the LG Q7 this summer.
