Well, it could be a small V30, just like how the Q8 was very much like the V34 in that it was a smaller V20. But what are all these model numbers signaling?

The LG V34 in Japan has made its way over to Italy as the Q8 with just a little bit more water resistance and little else.

And believe it or not, the G6 Pro is actually the weaker of the two and costs less than the Plus. But why does LG feel the need for these devices?

The shadow of how poorly the G5 performed with consumers seems to hang over LG in every development, every rumor we seem to tag along with its smartphones these days.
The emphasis on a successful, non-controversial G6 has become apparent. Apparent in the way that rumors for the device are going against the G5’s modular accessory system and more towards thorough mobile payments capabilities plus an iris-scanning selfie camera.
Now comes word from the Electronic Times that the design of the G6 will end up sealing the battery — making it non-removable — keep its Quantum IPS LCD in place, but add on water resistance.
Samsung used proofing tape sourced from 3M to achieve IP68 ratings in the Galaxy S7, S7 edge and Note 7. While it’s easy to engineer around, the tape is also a pricey proposition. LG may instead turn to sources like LG Display, Japan-based DIC and German company Henkel for cheaper, but trickier adhesives instead.
The chaebol was able to achieve IP67 water resistance in the V34 (shown above), a Japan-only version of the V20 with a smaller screen, embedded battery and adhesives.
Word from the Korea Herald also mentions wireless charging is in the mix, but unlike before where the feature had to be added on through an accessory, the charging coils could be integrated into the device.

Europe is assured not to see the LG V20 in its most common form direct from retailers. Heck, even UK unlocked smartphone retailer Clove wasn’t able to snag the phone through its backchannel negotiations.
But a version of the V20 could be headed the continent’s way anyways. That’s at least what we’re speculating with a trademark appearance at the EU’s Intellectual Property Office.
An trademark protection application from LG for the “V20 S” was filed yesterday. The word mark can apply to “Smartphones; Portable communications apparatus” among other wireless equipment.
No associated leaks have been dug up just yet on the V20 S. We do know that there was an LG G5 SE that featured a lesser Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 than the 820 on regular G5 units. On the other hand, there’s an off-chance that this could be European branding for the smaller, water-resistant V34 that’s currently exclusively sold in Japan.
We’ll have to wait and see if this trademark gets activated — the holiday season is essentially upon us.

It’s hard to imagine an Android smartphone looking better on paper than the LG V20 this holiday season. The non-modular Snapdragon 820 powerhouse appears to have it all, from a robust exterior to an ingeniously removable battery, sharp display, copious RAM count, dual rear camera, wide angle lens selfie shooter, Hi-Fi Quad DAC audio, and even pre-installed 7.0 Nougat software.Wait a ...
