LG V50 ThinQ

The LG V50 ThinQ houses a 4000mAh 4000 mAh, Li - Polymer cell — an adequate capacity that should get most users through a working day, though heavy usage or intensive gaming sessions may require a top-up before evening.

Wired charging tops out at 21W (QC4). While not the fastest, it keeps charging times reasonable for overnight or desk-charging habits. Specifically, 0-50% takes approximately 60 min minutes, with a full charge completing in around 120 min minutes. Wireless charging at 15W adds the convenience of drop-and-charge, making nightstand charging effortless.

The charging ecosystem extends beyond basic fill-ups: reverse wireless charging at 5W for topping up earbuds or a smartwatch; battery health management (adaptive-charging). The battery health features are particularly noteworthy — they help maintain long-term battery capacity by intelligently managing charge cycles, meaning the LG V50 ThinQ should hold its charge capacity better over 2-3 years of ownership.

A charger is included in the box — a welcome inclusion that many flagships have dropped. This means you can achieve the full advertised charging speed out of the box without buying a separate adapter.
