You can see the design in CAD-based renders, including a peek at the dedicated AI button and 3.5mm audio jack.

The screen looks like trash compared to AMOLED Mate 10 Pro,
so I'm not very optimistic about LG.
Also any kind of LCD can not shut down individual pixels making the NOTCH even more annoying and power consuming for no reason !

    I hate the bottom chin more than the notch itself.

      r33fd, 02 Apr 2018notch + lcd = no thanks.MLCD+ great - innovation (less power comsumption, more natural colors compared to oled, no burning)
      In no time lot of manufacturers will start using that technology
      screen size - very good for me
      notch - good - no need to check notifications or time in games
      cameras - amazing
      battery life - much better than competition because of mlcd+
      headphone jack big plus from me (hoping for quad dac like v30)
      good job LG !!!!!!!!!

        **** the notch

            Anonymous, 02 Apr 2018Serves no purpose, looks aesthetically worse, not natively ... more- Larger screen in the same frame
            - Dedicated space for status/notifications, allowing apps to utilize the entire area below the bezel
            Can you explain the benefit of having that space painted?

              AnonD-744321, 02 Apr 2018CORRECT !!!!!!! if you have LCD and notch you will have a ... moreIt's the same backlight whether you have a notch or not. The power difference in aligning the /pixels/ is ~insignificant.

                When you say "dedicated button" are we talking about a dedicated camera button? That's the one thing I miss (outside of Sony's phones) is a dedicated camera shutter button. I really wish this would make a wider come back. I'm naturally a bit 'shakey' and I have always felt more stabalised whilst holding a phone with both hands, and using my index finger to press the button.

                  Well being LG, 1 µm sensors and now that they put the notch and comes with a SD845 is expected that it cost at least $729 (about £570, AU$970) or more because the rumors say that it may even rise in price by $90 (£70, AU$120).

                    That earphone cut seems so small, one would think the quality of audio when making or receiving calls could be compromised.

                      Better buy an iphone x, if you’re going to have a notch then at least it doesnt have a chin.
                      Chin is cost cutting, to house the electronics for display. Apple curves the whole screen behind to hide the chin, its very expensive to make.

                        It's bigger than the V30. How stupid is this ? The V40 will probably be a TV.

                          Rimoti, 02 Apr 2018Future of what? Future of companies blindly copying apple because they have 0 originality and confidence in their products, thank god Samsung is like "nah we're better than that" at least for now.

                            Makes one wonder about resolution of rgbw panel. -25% if there is no magic. Also top and bottom bezel are of different length, ugly trend.

                                Nothing spectacular in terms of design... V30 is more beautiful, but that 5mp front camera is unacceptable. Why are they experimenting this type of screen instead of using amoled??? And why so many physical buttons??? At least they kept the headphone jack...

                                  Nodoby is going to complain about a dedicated button to yet another useless assistant that nodoby asked for?

                                  SERIOUSLY???

                                  Most hated phone of 2018 is here guys.

                                    You give a good reason why it IS good.

                                        Same sensor of V30.. It is not for high end phones

                                        Go to Sony and buy a better one.
