Starting with the specials, which is primarily one in this case. Hand ID!

LG’s press release describes the feature as –

“LG’s Hand ID identifies owners by recognizing the shape, thickness and other individual characteristics of the veins in the palms of their hands. Simply placing a pre-registered hand in front of the front-facing camera for a split second is all it takes to unlock the LG G8 ThinQ and all its content.”

It can be further used to answer or decline incoming calls, take a selfie, snooze or stop an alarm, stop a timer, control media, or even open your favorite app. This is christened Air Motion.
