In 2017, LG introduced a new trend for the screen aspect ratio: 18: 9. However, in the case of the G7 model, the company decided to introduce a notch. It turns out that this was not the original plan.
In 2016, the company filed a patent that was only granted a week ago. It envisioned three different smartphones with a similar frameless design. A single camera was visible on the front, and a square camera module on the back, which now resembles the one from the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. There was supposed to be a fingerprint reader under them.
Considering LG has joined the fans of the screen cutout, it is doubtful that such smartphones will ever hit the market. It’s a pity, because in theory they look very good. If you think otherwise, let me know in the comments.
