LG Electronics Inc. is to reveal its first 5G smartphone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next month but remains mum on whether it will be a standalone brand or part of its flagship G8 ThinQ lineup.

The South Korean tech giant confirmed Thursday it will unveil its new 5G handset on Feb. 24, a day before the official kickoff of the world’s largest exhibition for the mobile industry.

The company plans to showcase the 5G model as well as its latest G8 ThinQ smartphone at the event. The launch date for the two models is scheduled for March, it added.

LG Electronics’ 5G phone would be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855, which is 45 percent faster than previous processors. This would allow users to enjoy high-graphics games and large data-hogging mobile apps at super-fast speeds, the company said.

It has also adopted a more advanced cooling technology through the use of vapor chambers, which offer better protection against heat compared to heat pipes used in previous models like the V40 ThinQ. The vapor chamber is 2.7 times larger than the conventional heat pipe and holds twice the amount of water as the V40 to deliver more enhanced cooling power.

The 5G model also offers longer battery life. It features 4,000 mAh batteries, which are more than 20 percent the capacity of the V40, according to the company.
