LG G9 will be a mid-ranger with S765G chipset, 1080p screen, according to report from Korea

23 March 2020
This will further differentiate it from the LG V60, which is set to sell only in markets that can tolerate high prices.

A cheaper phone with quad dac. I'm really going to be looking into this phone.

      why need to copy samsung !! it already a 5G phone who said it isn't.

      G9 won't have 8K if the chipset isn't sd865 , 8Mp selfie on the G8 was the best until V60's 10Mp

          I think it makes sense, LG don't have any decent mid range offering, they are downgrading the G series to mid range and leave the high end specs to the V series and variants. The main problem of the LG is the lack of proper updates, it takes forever and sometimes it never comes.

            International competing smartphones are lined up:
            Redmi K30 5G (SD765G), starting $280;
            Vivo S6 5G (SD765G), starting $310;
            Vivo Z6 5G (SD765G), starting $310;
            ZTE Axon 11 5G (SD765G), starting $380.

              Why to step back LG? :( We want a good flagship with a telephoto camera also! Why no telephoto on the V60?

                  Shady69, 23 Mar 2020midrange for +700$? they have to be joking, right? you can ... moreThey are joking indeed. Look at how LG is doing in mobile phone segment now a days. Axon and other branded 765 chipset going for less than $500. Most probably they hired CEO's 5 years old grandson or someone like that to run the mobile segment.

                    q, 23 Mar 2020I am Korean, and the source is almost bullshit...It is writ... moreJust hope the the point of using S765G is false... I also hope this piece is BS, but still afraid if not. Any other things (despite the size, which would better be similar to the G8) can be true for me to buy.

                      If these specs and price are true this is gonna go over like a lead balloon

                          T M, 23 Mar 2020These companies really dont get it. Consumers don't want 70... more5G is important though. Everyone will gradually knows then. The real thing is that 5G still has room for improvement and the G9 should never use non-flagship processors (while I think S7xx should be higher than mid-ranger and below flagships)

                              I don't mind a FHD+ screen at the size of a G9, but S765G...

                                These companies really dont get it. Consumers don't want 700 dollar mid rangers because no one gives a **** about 5G.

                                    The G series has been heading this way since they released the G5 imo, that was a commercial flop. The 6 had an outdated soc and the 7 and 8 have just been kind of 'meh'.

                                      The last interesting LG device was the G7 Thinq.

                                      The RGBW lcd panel was actually great to use, and the size was manageable.
