Mobile World Congress 2019 is the event where LG's new 5G smartphone model will be presented, but for now it is not known what model number it will have, although a variety of rumors have appeared in recent weeks.
LG will present the G8 model at Mobile World Congress 2019, and it is speculated that it will also be offered in a version that has integrated 5G connectivity, although this is not 100% certain at the moment.

LG this smartphone will integrate a 4000 mAh battery, quite small if we consider that many manufacturers have revealed the fact that the first 5G modems need a lot of energy to work. 5G modems also generate a lot of heat inside the phone case, and in the image above you can also see the new vapor-based cooling chamber, which will help maintain a normal temperature even in conditions of intense use.
LG published the picture above to show how big the change is for the phone's cooling system, and this is also due to the fact that it will have an integrated 5G modem, which generates a lot of heat. For now, it is not known when LG will launch this new smartphone with 5G, nor how much it will cost, but it is expected that the price will be quite steep, and that for the integration of these technologies is not too cheap.
