LG's stripped-back G7 phone is available this week
LG first revealed its plans to release a stripped-back version of the G7 ThinQ at IFA back in August. Now, the Korean company has announced that the phone called the G7 Fit will start shipping in select markets this week. LG didn't include the exact list of markets in its announcement, but it did say that the Android Oreo device will make its way to countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East throughout the fourth quarter.
LG's first Android One phone is a stripped-back G7
LG is embracing Google's Android One program ... just not in the way you might have expected. It's launching the G7 One, a device that melds the G7 ThinQ's core design with Android One's streamlined app loadout and focus on timely security updates. Don't think of this as a G7 with less bloat, however. While it has the 6.1-inch QHD+ screen, glass body and quad DAC, it's using last year's Snapdragon 835 processor, reverts to a single 16-megapixel rear camera and carries just half the built-in storage at 32GB (still expandable, thankfully). Really, it's an upper-mid-range phone in a flagship's clothing.
