Following the success of LG’s flagship smartphone G6, the South Korean company is now aiming to launch the mini variant of the device.
According to the Verge, the company is working on the LG G6 mini which would reduce the screen size from 5.7 inches to 5.4 inches, and keep the 18:9 aspect ratio.
Enter one of most reliable phone tipsters, Evan Blass, has added spice to the news on this weekend tweeted confirmation that the phone is real. It’s apparently now looking for regulatory approval and will be called the LG Q6.
Blass also reveals that the phone will be downgraded to a single 13MP camera and will come with 3GB of RAM on board.
The screen aspect ratio, meanwhile, will get a slight tweak to 18.5:9 – almost the same as the LG G6, but exactly the same as the ratio Samsung used in the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus this year.
Unfortunately, we don’t get any mention of any other specs. Presumably the phone is going to come with the same Snapdragon 821 processor as its immediate predecessor, even if the rest of the specs (and price) get chopped down.
Only one camera lens means none of the wide-angle trickery of the full LG G6 but we’re thinking that most people can probably live without that in return for saving a bit of cash.
The company has released mini versions of its flagship devices in past.
