5 Must Have Accessories For LG V40 ThinQ

The LG V40 ThinQ is a fairly new device. Launched late last year, the smartphone has managed to stick out in the industry despite steady competition from Android rivals as well as the Apple iPhone. If you own this smartphone and are considering the purchase of accessories meant for the device, you will be pleased to know that there are plenty. For the kind of phone that it is, the LG V40 ThinQ also has a decent supply of accessories, ranging from power banks to headphones. But which ones are best suited for your smartphone? Well, this is where things get slightly tricky, especially since there are so many variants to choose from.

This is why we have decided to compile a list of some of the must have accessories for the LG V40 ThinQ. It goes without saying that some of you may own one or multiple accessories mentioned on this list, but if you don’t, be sure to have a closer look at the offerings mentioned below.

5 Must Have Accessories For LG V40 ThinQ

Anker Wireless Charger

As you may be aware, the V40 ThinQ comes with wireless charging technology built-in, this makes it compatible with the slew of wireless chargers available in the market. This particular accessory by Anker takes the full marks for a number of reasons, but primarily for being one of the best (both in terms of speed and efficiency) wireless chargers out there. This charger can provide 10W of charging power, which is pretty snappy and almost on par with wired fast chargers. Luckily, the LG V40 ThinQ supports 10W Qi wireless charging, thus allowing you to take full advantage of this particular feature. The company suggests users to pair this with a powerful Quick Charge adapter paired with the 3 feet micro USB cable supplied by Anker with the charger.

The device has LED indicators on the side, acting as status indicators for the charger. The best part about this case is that it can charge your device up even if it has a case on. You will need a case that is no thicker than 5mm for this to work, however. Anker offers the wireless charger with a user manual and an 18 month warranty, suggesting that this is a long lasting charger. The manufacturer only offers the charger in Black, so there isn’t much in terms of color variants here.

Anker PowerCore Power Bank

Most users like to own a smartphone that lasts the entire day. However, despite great efforts by manufacturers to increase battery sizes, the powerful displays tend to eat more and more battery. Keeping this in mind, it makes a great deal of sense to invest in a power bank which can get the job done in any circumstance. This accessory by Anker comes with a 10,000 mAh capacity, which in theory means that it can charge the LG V40 ThinkQ up to 3 times from 0%. One of the downsides of this particular unit is the fact that it comes with a single USB port, allowing only one device to be charged at a time.

However, this is a powerful port, built with features like PowerIQ and VoltageBoost to give your devices a quick and efficient charge. This means that no matter what devices you’re going to charge, this accessory will adjust itself accordingly. Something known as Trickle Charging mode is designed for smaller accessories like headphones to be charged using this power bank.

The power bank itself is charged over a micro USB connection (cable provided), and can charge fully under 4.5 hours with the use of a 5V/2A adapter. Built-in Anker technology protects your devices from overheating and damage. The real highlight here is the fact that this power bank is small and compact, making it a perfect companion for your daily commute to and from work. Anker is currently offering this product in a Black version with no other colors to choose from. Included in the packaging is a USB to micro USB cable, a traveling pouch for added protection, and a warranty card (18 months).

Bestrix Car Mount

Car mounts are some of the most commonly available accessories out there. But when you’re protecting an expensive smartphone like the G40 ThinQ, it makes sense to think carefully about the car mount you’re getting. We picked Bestrix’s offering primarily because of the unique design that allows the device to be rotated and moved freely even when mounted. This is something that you can’t find in conventional car mounts. This accessory fits into the CD slot of your car, and comes with multiple adapters to adjust to the change in size due to wear and tear. Once installed on your dashboard, you simply have to stick the back of your phone to the mount, and that’s pretty much it.

It relies on magnets to keep your device intact, and the hold is pretty strong regardless of the direction your phone is facing. The reason I like this is because I’ve hated using car mounts with suction cups and hinges. With something like this, not only does installation take a few minutes, but keeping your phone together is no longer a challenge. This accessory is suited for cars with black dashboards as there are no other color variants available right now. However, the black with silver trims can strike out in pretty much any situation. The company has made several car mounts, but we chose this solely because of its size, giving bigger phones some more room to play with.

Bestrix mentions that this can hold devices with displays of up to 6.5 inches, thus covering a broad spectrum of phones that are selling in the markets today. If you’re looking for a no fuss car mount that simply works, you simply can’t do much better than the offering by Bestrix here.

iClever USB Wall Charger

Wall chargers are a necessity for any smartphone owner. While you can get through a day by using a power bank, it’s only a short term solution. Keeping this in mind, it makes sense to invest in a powerful wall charger that can juice up your devices in no time. But what’s even better than that is a wall charger that can charge four devices at the same time. iClever makes multiple wall chargers, but this definitely takes the cake for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s compact and designed for traveling with the ability to push the pins inside to save space.

All four charging ports are powered by iClever’s SmartID tech, allowing for a quick charging time without causing any damage to your device. As further safety measures, the company has built protection from overheating, short circuits and other trouble usually associated with wall chargers. The charger is compatible with a wide range of devices, including Bluetooth speakers, headphones, tablets, computers, and of course, smartphones. Each port can charge at 2.4 amps, allowing for up to 8 amps to be used at a time. These ports don’t support the Quick Charge standard, however.

The company offers a 30 day money back guarantee and an 18 month replacement warranty. The customer support team usually responds to queries within a day. Just as with the rest of the accessories discussed here, the company doesn’t offer this accessory in multiple colors, so you only get to choose White. I particularly like the illuminated USB ports that can help you find the wall adapter in the dark.

Mpow A7

The LG V40 ThinQ is one of the few modern day smartphones to come with a 3.5mm headphone jack. But since most manufacturers are shying away from wired headphones or at least the 3.5mm standard anyway, it’s fair to assume that you would want a pair of wireless headphones as well. The Mpow A7 is the first that comes to mind not merely for its price, but also for the value it provides with an understated look. These are ideally suited for running, jogging, or just while commuting to and from work. It comes with a microphone attached to an inline remote, helping you make and receive calls while on the go.

Music performance is excellent here with decent bass response on high frequencies. The neckband used here is robust and will stay in place even if you’re involved in an activity like running or gymming. The A7 is also resistant to water, so you should be covered under rains or splashes of water. It might not survive a full submersion, however. There are some clever notification features built-in here that vibrate the headphones when you receive an incoming call, quickly directing your attention to the phone. This can be a handy feature if you’re away from your phone.

The company mentions that these earbuds have a battery life of 10 hours on a full charge, which is commendable and definitely a rarity in the industry as manufacturers strive to eke out 8 hours of charge from earbuds. The A7 also comes with noise cancellation technology on board. Be sure to check it out.
