The display has scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that is curved around the EDGE for a sleek and premium feel. The LG V35 ThinQ is built to withstand the rigors of daily use with its IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and a passing grade in 14 of the US military’s MIL-STD 810G tests for reliability of equipment performance in harsh environments.
The V35 ThinQ sports dual rear camera in the rear panel consisting of two 16MP lenses. In the front there is an 8 Megapixel camera.
