The result should be quick and accurate face recognition in all conditions. Apple's iPhone X pioneered the 3D front-facing camera for the company's Face ID technology, and while it works quite well in most scenarios, bright sunlight can easily confuse it.

Additionally, the 3D camera should help the phone's selfie camera take better photos, and will have a role in AR and VR applications.

LG previously said it would announce a 5G phone with a vapor chamber cooling system, though it's unclear whether that's the G8, a variant of the G8, or another phone entirely. There's also a rumor that LG is working on a phone with a detachable, secondary screen. The company will launch the phone(s) at a Barcelona event on Feb. 24, and we'll be there to bring you the news.
