Three of those will live on the back, while two will be on the front for selfie-taking purposes. However, the company didn’t reveal the exact specifics, as it’s still trying to keep some details under wraps until the official announcement.

Price and availability

While LG confirmed the existence of the V40 ThinQ this week, the official announcement is still scheduled for October 3. During the event, the company will reveal the full details, as well as provide info about availability, as well as pricing.
