AI Smartphone

The rival to the Samsung Galaxy S9, the LG G7 Thinq, has arrived in Mzansi and is now available at various retailers and major carriers. The G7 Thinq is one of the latest premium devices from the Korean phonemaker that comes infused with Ai-features. It boasts the first dedicated Google Assistant button found on an Android phone, so you do not need to say “OK, Google” to summon the voice assistant. The star features of the device, however, are its Ai-powered cameras: it has one wide-angle and one standard 16-megapixel camera on the back, as well as a five-megapixel front cam. Inside, it packs a Snapdragon 845 paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, and you get a 3,000 mah battery, too. No wireless charging, sadly, but there is at least IP68 water and dust resistance. It is offered in Platinum Gray, Aurora Black, Moroccan Blue, and Raspberry Rose.
