LG Could Announce New Flagship 'Judy' Phone In June

In early 2018, LG's Vice Chairman Cho Sung-jin announced that the company would no longer stick to a firm yearly release schedule for its devices. Instead, it would update phones only when needed. A few weeks later, reports from Korea claim LG was starting over on the G6 successor after failing to create a compelling product. Now, LG is rumored to be aiming for a June unveiling of its next phone, which is codenamed "Judy."

According to Evan Blass at VentureBeat, Judy will be a completely new piece of hardware rather than a new color or upgraded version of the V30. It will include a new type of display technology called MLCD+ in an 18:9 configuration at 6.1-inches. The panel will have 800 nits of brightness thanks to an RGBW subpixel matrix. Most LCDs are just RGB, but the addition of a white subpixel boosts brightness and allows for 35% lower power consumption.

The device's other specs are likely to be par for a flagship phone in 2018. There will be a Snapdragon 845, 64 GB of storage, and 4GB of RAM. The RAM does seem a bit light compared to some other phones, but it gives LG a place to improve future iterations of this device. The Judy phone is also expected to sport a dual camera arrangement. LG is expected to use a new naming scheme for this phone, so we may never see a phone called "G7."
