LG Series ThinQ Model Number Differences : G7, V30S & V35

LG launched its latest flagship, the LG G7 ThinQ, in May 2018. The latest phone comes with the latest features and hardware, so it is expected to recover the brand image after the failure of recent LG’s flagships.

As compared to its predecessor, the LG G7 is much easier to purchase. You can order it through a carrier like Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon, or at BestBuy or B&H. The most prominent features of the G7 are powerful hardware with the Snapdragon 845 chip and 4GB of RAM, the AI camera, Boombox speaker and surround sound, Google Assistant integration, and an almost bezel-free display with the peak brightness of 1,000 nits.

This year, the LG G7 comes with some different model numbers like G710EAW, G710N, G710EM, G710AWM, G710EMW, G710TM, G710ULM, G710VMX, G710PM, and G710VM. Let’s check out their differences.

The LG V30S ThinQ is among the weirdest releases of the year. LG announced this phone right before the launch of the more powerful LG G7 ThinQ and V35 ThinQ. However, it still comes at a steep price of $729 in the United States.

Those are the reasons that all major carriers skipped the V30S. This is actually just a minor update of the V30 released last year. The improvements include the storage and RAM boost to 128GB and 6GB respectively, and those are everything set the devices apart. The cameras, design, and display don’t have any change. There are some new camera tricks like AI Camera that could analyze subjects and QLens to identify and shop for products, but all of them will come to the V30 eventually. Therefore, there is nothing excited about the new phone and we should expect the price comes down very soon.

Notice that there are two variants of the phone, which are the V30S and V30S+. The only differences are the increased RAM and internal storage; the V30S+ features 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

In terms of model numbers, there are just a few LG V30S models that we could find, including US998R, V300KR, V300KW, V300LW, V300L, V300SW, and V300S. Let’s see their differences.

The LG V35 is undoubtedly the best LG smartphone of the year. The V35 is essentially the LG G7 ThinQ in the V30/V30S chassis with an upgraded display. LG has changed from a Super LCD display on G7 to a 6-inch 2880 x 1440 FullVision HDR OLED Display on this phone.

As compared to the V30/V30S, the V35 is still a worthy upgrade as there are some important improvements, including the Snapdragon 845 chip, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and newer cameras.

The V35 is not widely available, so there are just a few model numbers including V350AWM and V350N. Let’s see the differences between them.
