LG V35 ThinQ is official, but it’s not all that new

The rest of the V35 is pretty standard for a flagship in 2018. It also features a 6-inch Quad HD+ (2880×1440) OLED display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, 6GB of memory, 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot, two 16MP rear cameras, an 8MP front camera, a 3300mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner, and Android 8.0 Oreo with LG UX 7.0. Again, the majority of this was on the V30 introduced over six months ago.

What you will find on this phone, but not anything else LG sells, is facial recognition. In addition to being able to unlock your V35 with a fingerprint or voice command, LG will let you use your face.

Based on our comparison, the V35 and V30 are insanely close on paper. You get a better processor and dual-camera setup, but there’s little to talk about beyond those things. Even the measurements and weights are shared between them.

If you so dare, you’ll be able to pre-order the V35 beginning on June 1. LG and its partners will then commence sales on June 8.

ATT, who notably passed on the G7, will add the V35 to its lineup. The carrier should have more details on availability soon. But ATT isn’t alone. It turns out the V35 is also fully compatible on Project Fi. So you can bring the phone to Google’s wireless service and use it on a combination of T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular’s networks.

LG has yet to say whether or not the V35 will be sold unlocked, but timing may not be in its favor. The V40 is only a few months from arriving; therefore, LG might skip an unlocked V35 to focus on its second true flagship of the year.
