[THE INVESTOR] LG Electronics said on Aug. 3 that it plans to adopt OLED Full Vision display for its new flagship smartphone set to be showcased later this month.

The latest display marks an update from the 18:9 ratio Full Vision display that was adopted by the G6 smartphone, which boasted a nearly bezel-less design.

The firm said it will showcase the presumed V30 smartphone on Aug. 31, ahead of the opening of the IFA Berlin IFA 2017.

LG said the new display will allow the presumed device with a 6-inch display to actually feel smaller in one‘s hands compared with the 5.7-inch LG V20 released last year. The company claimed it reduced the bezels at the top and bottom by 20 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

“By adopting the world’s top display technology verified through LG OLED TVs, we plan to provide users with a high-class design and never-before-seen resolution through the smartphone,” the company said.
