【1985 Archives】

LG has sent out invites for the first major event at this year's IFA tech trade show in Berlin.

On August 31985 Archives the company will show a phone, and though the invite was information-scarce, we can quite safely assume that it'll be the LG V30.

The image in the invite shows the shape of a phone with a big, stylized "V" on the screen. And Engadgetnoticed that the image's aspect ratio is 2:1, so the same as the LG G6's wide screen, which would imply that the V30 will have a similar screen.

We don't know too much about the V30 in terms of rumored specs, but there was a render that confirms the V30 will be quite similar to the G6 in terms of shape.

LG's V series of phones has so far been a way for the company to experiment a little and offer something different from its other flagship line, the G series. However, when the modular G5's sales tanked, LG followed up with the more conventional V20.

This year, it seems, LG is happy with what it's done with the G6, so it might opt to make the V30 similar to that device. The company is known to reveal nearly all details about its flagships in the weeks leading up to the launch, so we'll likely know more soon.
