Description

The LG V30S ThinQ is here to introduce us to LG's approach to artificial intelligence on mobile and to show us how AI can make a good smartphone an even better one. A primary use for the phone's AI algorithms is to recognize various scenes and objects. Right now there are 8 scenes that can be recognized by the LG V30S: Portrait, Animal, City, Flower, Sunrise, Sunset, Food, and Landscape. QLens is another AI feature built into the phone's camera app. It is designed to let you search for a particular product on Amazon by taking a photo of it using the LG V30S. On the hardware front, the LG V30S is nearly identical to last year's LG V30 despite the "S" in its name.

This device is also known as LG V30S+ ThinQ, LG US998R
