LG V50 Review | Trusted Reviews

Our review of the LG V50 explores how well this 5G phone delivers; including the experience offered by its unusual Dual Screen foldable accessory.

Top-notch performance ; Capable audio chops ; Decent battery life ; 5G-ready

Underwhelming cameras ; Dual Display is awkward ; Bland design

At its core, the LG V50 is a retread of last year’s V40 that sports a spec bump and embraces 5G. It’s just a shame the additional screen seems like little more than a gimmick.

LG V50 ThinQ initial review: 5G in a familiar package

LG wanted to be quick to market with the LG V50 ThinQ, so it launches its first 5G device along side the LG G8 ThinQ. The differentiation between these

Much of what the LG V50 ThinQ offers sounds familiar - and that's because it is. The LG V50 is an evolution of the LG V40, bringing much the same experience, a similar design and pretty close tech specs, but with some important bumps to accommodate 5G.

LG V50 ThinQ 5G

The LG V50 ThinQ 5G is a boring flagship bolstered by a bonkers accessory: the Dual Screen, which turns your phone into a wannabe Nintendo DS

LG V50 ThinQ 5G review

Everything but the kitchen sinQ

Great screen quality ; Dual Screen case included (EE) ; Impressive audio experience

Dual screen experience is imperfect ; Camera is good, not class-leading ; 5G coverage is sparse (Aug 2019)

A fun, gadget lover’s 5G phone, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G won’t be for everyone, but still checks a lot of boxes.

LG V50 will be Sprint's first 5G device this spring

LG's first 5G phone is set to go head to head with the Galaxy S10 5G. And it has a flashy new logo to prove it.

Draws charge from the phone ; Convenient form-factor ; Fast switching

Subpar secondary display ; Limited app support ; Not very durable

LG V50 ThinQ 5G review: A dual-display 5G flagship Review | ZDNet

LG's V50 ThinQ 5G is a 5G smartphone with a difference: it comes with a hinged cover that incorporates a second screen. If this doesn't appeal, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.

Add-on second screen ; Good dual screen controls on pop-out control bar ; 5G support ; 3.5mm headset jack

Second screen has lower resolution than main screen ; Battery life suffers when running two screens ; Bulky and heavy with second screen attached ; Poor speaker ; Slippery glass back
