The LG G8 ThinQ will be one year old next month, which means that the plans for a successor, tentatively called the LG G9 ThinQ, must already be underway. But before LG could officially mock or confirm its next flagship phone, leak-based renders and a 360-degree video that supposedly represents the LG G9 ThinQ have appeared online.

Filtered images suggest that the LG G9 ThinQ will flaunt a familiar design with a bright exterior, metal frame and a horizontally aligned camera module similar to its predecessor. However, the update comes in the form of a quad rear camera configuration on the LG G9 ThinQ, and the 3.5mm headphone jack has also been maintained.

Filtered CAD renders based on G9 ThinQ leaks are courtesy of tipster @OnLeaks in collaboration with CashKaro. The renderings supposedly show the LG G9 ThinQ flaunting a curved glass back with a glossy finish, while viewing a metal frame running around the edges.

The camera module on the back is horizontally aligned, a design that is quite similar to what we saw in the LG G8s ThinQ last year. So far there is no official information on the launch date of the LG G9 ThinQ, but according to the company's launch schedule, it could debut in the first quarter of 2020.

The camera module of the LG G9 ThinQ can be clearly seen with quad-read cameras. While the resolution of each camera sensor is unknown, it is most likely to include a regular RGB sensor as the main one, accompanied by a wide-angle lens, a telephoto camera and a dedicated macro snap. There is no clipping of the fingerprint sensor on the back or on the sides, indicating that the LG G9 ThinQ will come equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the screen.

The USB Type-C port and the speaker are located at the bottom. Surprisingly, LG G9 ThinQ renders show a 3.5mm headphone jack, a sign that LG's next phone will be among the few flagships selected that will not skip the headphone jack.
On the front, the renders show a water drop notch and thin bevels on all sides. It is said that the phone has a screen that will measure between 6.7 inches and 6.9 inches, however, there is no information about its resolution or other attributes such as refresh rate, brightness output and pixel density, between others.
