The LG G7 ThinQ looks to bring the boom with the Boombox Speaker

• LG announced that the upcoming G7 ThinQ will feature a "Boombox Speaker" that allows for louder sound with more bass.
• The G7 ThinQ will also strengthen the headphone jack with audiophile-friendly features.
• LG plans to announce the G7 ThinQ May 2 in New York and May 3 in South Korea.

Having already teased the G7 ThinQ's incredibly bright display, LG turned its attention to another of the upcoming flagship's features: the "Boombox Speaker."

Speaking with Engadget, LG claimed the Boombox Speaker increases the sound level by over 6dB and doubles the bass output relative to a typical smartphone. As a nice bonus, you can place the G7 ThinQ on a flat surface or box to further amplify the bass.

LG accomplished this by having the Boombox Speaker rely on a special resonance chamber design within the G7 ThinQ. The chamber looks to be 10 times the size compared to previous generations and should allow for the aforementioned louder and bass-friendly sound.

LG did not say whether the G7 ThinQ will feature dual stereo speakers. The V30 and V30S ThinQ feature bottom-firing speakers, so here is hoping that the G7 ThinQ bucks the trend and features two speakers.

Whether it has one or two speakers, the G7 ThinQ will also feature a headphone jack. Quickly becoming extinct in the land of flagship smartphones, the G7 ThinQ's headphone jack will get help from the phone's Hi-Fi Quad DAC to satisfy high-end headphone users.
