ISSUE 46 • ANDROID ADVISOR 47PREVIEWuntrue – the company claims that a Galaxy S9 launch
at CES is unlikely.Release date
The new LG G-series flagship typically arrives a day
ahead of MWC, which in 2018 would put its probable
launch date as Sunday 25 February.
However, The Investor claims that the LG G7 may
arrive much earlier than expected, with LG announcing
the new flagship in January 2018. That would place
the announcement at CES 2018 in Las Vegas.
Business Korea also cites CES 2018 as the launch
date for the new LG smartphone.
LG could take this strategy to get the flagship
phone on the market quicker than rivals (largely
Samsung and its Galaxy S9). It is also understandable
that it might want to update the LG G6 earlier than
expected due to its inclusion of the older Snapdragon
821 processor.LG G6
