LG Q9 is a G7 Fit version for South Korea, it features a Quad DAC, HDR10 screen

LG reintroduced the G7 Fit as a new entry into the Q-series – meet the LG Q9. The spec sheet is virtually identical, save for new color options. This phone is aimed at students and will cost KRW 500,000 in South Korea ($445/€390).

The standout features of the phone are its multimedia capabilities and its durability. It features LG’s trademark Quad DAC for high-quality wired audio and a powerful Boombox speaker if you want to play the music loudly. It goes without saying that there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack (there’s an FM receiver too).

The 6.1” screen is pretty special too, it’s sharp thanks to its QHD+ resolution, but it’s headlining feature is the 1,000nit daylight visibility mode. The screen is HDR10-enabled to boot.

The LG Q9 is waterproof (IP68) and drop-resistant (MIL-STD-810G). The phone is available in Carmine Red, New Aurora Black and New Moroccan Blue.
