Addressing those users, LG launched a second phone, the G8ThinQ, which can be unlocked without touching the screen. The handset instead uses light sensors to scan the veins in a user's hand or to recognise their face. LG did not set release dates or announce prices for the new phones, but said the 5G model should hit stores in the first half of the year.
