LG G8 ThinQ Might Be Priced Starting At $900

The LG G8 ThinQ is expected to be officially announced at MWC 2019 which takes place in the next week or so. This will represent LG’s flagship smartphone for 2019 and as such, we expect that it will be priced at typical flagship prices. If you were hoping that LG might price it more affordably, think again.

A post on Reddit by u/livedadevil claims to have gotten the LG G8 SKU in their retail system in which the pricing of the phone has been revealed to be $1,199.99 CAD. When converted to USD, this means that the phone will be priced around at $900-ish give or take, although that is the starting price and that the price will most likely go up depending on the storage size of the phone.

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, but at the same time flagship phones are usually priced around that range these days so it shouldn’t be surprising if it really were priced similarly. That being said, whether or not the LG G8 will be worth the $900-ish price tag remains to be seen.

The phone is expected to be packing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, a sound-on display, and possibly even touchless gesture control.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 series of phones will be officially announced come 20th February, 2019 and we expect that all of the official details of the phone will be announced then. However in case you can’t wait, the folks at GSMArena have managed to get their hands on what appears to be the “final” specs of the upcoming phones.

It will also feature a side fingerprint sensor, facial recognition, and a dual rear-facing camera with a 12MP and 16MP combo, and a 10MP front-facing camera.

As for the regular version, the phone will be featuring a 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 3040×1440 resolution, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, facial recognition, and a triple camera combo with dual 12MP cameras and a 16MP camera, and a 10MP front-facing shooter. Last but not least, the “Plus” model will be packing a 6.3-inch display with a 3040×1440 display, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, facial recognition, and the same triple camera setup on the back.

However there is one main difference and that is there will be a dual front-facing shooter with a 10MP camera and an 8MP camera combo. Take these specs with a grain of salt for now, but in a less we should have the official details.

We’ve seen how in the past the Apple Watch has managed to help alert the wearer to impending heart attacks. Now according to a report from ABC 11 News (via 9to5Mac), the Apple Watch has managed to potentially save the life of a nurse by the name of Beth Stamps by alerting her to an abnormally high heart rate.

The report claims that Stamps was at a patient’s house when she felt like she had just finished running a marathon, but yet despite trying to relax, she could not get her heart rate to drop. Her heart rate while she was standing still was at 177 BPM which was certainly not normal, and she was sent to the hospital where doctors ending up running a series of tests over the course of two days.

She was eventually diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia which she is being treated with medication right now. According to Stamps, she said she had experienced bouts of fast heart rates in the past, but it has always managed to subside, but this particular incident and the alert from her Apple Watch helped with her decision to seek medical attention which could have potentially saved her life.

The Apple Watch is loaded with features that have the potential to save lives. Apart from the heart rate monitor, we have heard how the ECG feature and the fall detection feature have saved lives in the past.
