LG V40 ThinQ set to be unveiled October 4, invitation hints to triple cameras

It looks like October shapes up to be a very interesting month for the smartphone industry, as three major handset makers confirmed they will launch their flagships next month: Google, Huawei, and LG.

As many of you probably know by now, Google will unveil its next-gen Pixel phones on October 9, while Huawei will be revealing its Mate 20 lineup on October 16. Finally, LG announced today that it plans to introduce the V40 ThinQ on October 4 at an event held in Seoul, South Korea.

LG has already sent out invitations to the media and released a 10-second video that teases the camera capabilities of the V40 ThinQ. If you've been following our previous reports, then you already know LG's upcoming flagship will feature triple cameras. The invitation somewhat confirms the rumor, but it doesn't explicitly says the V40 ThinQ includes three rear cameras. However, we can see a subject being photographed at three different viewing angles, suggesting that the phone will feature both wide-angle and telephoto cameras in addition to its main, regular one.
