The unlikely new Android underdog worth watching
The official start of spring is right around the corner, folks — and here in Android Land, that can mean only one thing: We're officially in the thick of it.
Late February to early March is when most Android manufacturers start dusting off their superlative-generating garden gnomes and getting ready to launch their fanciest new flagships for the year.

"Uh...I don't know — throw a few letters and numbers together, oughta be fine"), and LG showed off its even more absurdly named LG V30S ThinQ (pronounced "thwonk," I think).
