5G is more than just the next big thing in the mobile industry. It goes beyond your mobile phone’s functionality and plan. 5G is a revolution in itself; one that will sweep across every fiber of society, from personal lives to business processes, transportation, agriculture, and beyond.

Right now, there’s hardly any 5G enabled smartphone that stacks up as many powerful features as LG’s V50 ThinQ 5G. It boasts a Snapdragon 855 chipset, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, and a triple camera setup. Plus, it’s also one of the cheaper 5G smartphones out there, offering a great value-to-price ratio.

Motorola’s Moto Z4 is an even cheaper alternative to the LG V50 ThinQ 5G. But it’s a little more complex to set up because you need the 5G Motor Mod to activate its 5G capabilities. But once you get the hang of it, you can easily slot in or pull out the Moto Mod to deploy or disable the phone’s 5G capability.

So basically, what you pay for is a 4G phone, which is a lot cheaper on average than a 5G phone, but you also get an option to upgrade it to a 5G phone when you want. The phone also sports a large, 6.39 full HD+ Super OLED display with a teardrop notch, 4GB Ram on a Snapdragon 675 processor, and a 48 MP rear camera.
