LG's next flagship could ditch the notch in favor of a punch hole
Concept render based on patented design
The envisioned device, which is shown from different angles in 14 different sketches, sports an edge-to-edge display paired with extremely thin and almost uniform bezels – the upper bezel is slightly thinner than the others. Like the LG G8 ThinQ, this device sports a single selfie camera and what appear to be Time-of-Flight and infrared sensors for 3D facial recognition and Air Motion gestures. These sit inside an oval-shaped punch hole which is centered in a similar manner to the implementation on Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 10.
As per usual, there’s no guarantee LG will use this particular design in 2019 or ever. However, the company does appear to be preparing a new 'Dual Screen' flagship that’ll arrive at IFA in early September. Rumors suggest it could be the 5G-ready V60 ThinQ which would represent the company’s third V-branded device in under a year. As such, a new punch hole display could help LG better differentiate the model.
