LG V40 ThinQ Review

Like LG’s current lineup of smartphones and in the market for a new device? LG has a few deals going right now that might be perfect for you. The company has discounted both of its flagship devices — the LG V40 ThinQ and LG G7 ThinQ — as well as its flagship smartwatch, the LG Watch W7.

Let’s start with the LG V40 ThinQ. The device boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, like most 2018 flagship phones, and that processor is coupled with 6GB of RAM and options for either 64GB or 128GB of storage. The display comes in at 6.4 inches with a resolution of 3,120 x 1,440 pixels — which is pretty good. What about the prices? Well, while the phone normally comes at $950, LG has discounted it to $750 — though you will have to buy the phone between December 16 and December 29. It can be bought at the discounted rate from Best Buy,

Amazon

, or B&H.

Next up is the LG G7 ThinQ, which is also a pretty nice device. The phone also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, along with either 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The display on this phone is a little smaller, at 6.1 inches, with a resolution of 3,120 x 1,440 pixels. At launch, the phone was a little cheaper than the V40 ThinQ — coming in at $750 — and it’s been discounted by $150, down to $600. The deal is running the same amount of time as the LG V40 ThinQ deal. The phone is also available from Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H.

Then there’s LG’s latest smartwatch, the LG Watch W7. This watch came out a few months ago, and while it features Qualcomm’s old Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, it’s still a relatively good accessory to couple with an LG smartphone. The Watch W7 has been discounted by $200 for the holidays, from $450 down to $250. Unlike the other two deals, the Watch W7 discount is running now and will run until December 22. The Watch W7 is also available from Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H.

All three of these devices are great buys — especially the smartphones — so if you’re in the market for a new device and like the idea of saving some cash, then they may be the way to go.

I bought an Apple Watch Series 10, and I’m surprised by how much I love it

There’s little doubt that the Apple Watch has become one of the most popular wearables. While it wasn’t the first smartwatch on the market by a long shot, Apple’s wearable seemed to find its stride more quickly than many of its rivals.

That’s not to say that the competition isn’t heating up. This year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra are worthy contenders thanks to improved performance and new health features. Nevertheless, the Apple Watch has had a cozy lead, erven though it sometimes feels like Apple is coasting by adding only iterative improvements each year.

Samsung is ready to take a stab at another wearable segment, less than a year after introducing its first smart ring. A Shenzhen-based research company, Wellsen XR, shared in an investor note Samsung’s plans to launch smart glasses that could arrive late next year or early in 2026. 

“Samsung Electronics' plan to release AI smart glasses was confirmed earlier this month, and its first production volume is 500,000 units in the third quarter of 2025,” says the note, which was reported by Maeil Business Newspaper.

Cable labeling is pure chaos and it needs to stop

There was a time in our digital lives when reaching for a cable was a straightforward affair. If we needed to connect a CD player to our amplifier, an optical cable was the right tool for the job. If we bought a new printer, a USB-A to USB-B cable of the right length would almost certainly guarantee success. Even in the early days of the HDMI cable revolution, connecting a Blu-ray player to a TV was a simple matter of finding the most affordable cable we could -- in the mid-2000s, I bought several $5 HDMI cables from Monoprice and they all worked just fine.

But the age of easy connectivity is now behind us, and every year it seems to get worse. As our devices become more capable, they place an increasing set of demands on the cables that connect them. And some of our existing cables -- and many we might buy in-store or online -- can’t meet those demands.
