LG V30S ThinQ Smartphone Introduces New Photo AI

LG has updated its V30 smartphone with AI technology and has called it the LG V30S ThinQ.

The new AI technologies include 3 intelligent camera features: AI CAM, QLens and Bright Mode which makes it easier for those using the smartphone to capture images. 

AI CAM analyses subjects in the frame (a bit like the Huawei Mate 10 Pro) and recommends the optimal shooting mode among eight categories: portrait, food, pet, landscape, city, flower, sunrise, and sunset. Each mode enhances the characteristics of the subject taking into account factors such as the viewing angle, color, reflections, lighting, and saturation level.

QLens takes further advantage of the image recognition capabilities of the AI technology to scan QR codes to improve the user's online shopping experience and Bright Mode uses algorithms to brighten images by a factor of two for better-looking photos without noise when working in low light.

Another new feature is Voice AI that allows users to run apps and change settings through voice commands alone. Working alongside Google Assistant, the LG-exclusive Voice AI commands eliminates the need to search through menu options and allows for direct selection of specific functions.
