At CES 2018 LG unveiled a new technology called Sound on Display that allowed its Crystal Sound OLED TVs to produce sound through vibrations of display panels rather than traditional speakers and it may be that company will soon bring that to phones.Sources have told reliable leaker OnLeaks that technology will feature on upcoming LG G8 flagship phone.There's no specifics on exactly how this could work on a smartphone, but it's likely to be similar to how company has implemented it on some versions of its TVs.

It may be that phone has a main speaker inside display itself, or just sitting behind it.No need for a grilleThis likely means we won't see a speaker grille on any of edges of LG G8, which may free up some more space for extra features or just provide a better design than previous LG handsets. The LG G7 ThinQ had a Boombox feature that made entire phone into a sound chamber, so this feels like next logical step for LG.

The company has consistently focused on providing great audio on its smartphones, so we hope that continues with this new tech too.Some reports have also said Samsung is planning to unveil a similar Sound on Display technology for its phones at CES 2019, but it's uncertain whether that will be ready to debut on Samsung Galaxy S10.Recently, we heard LG G8 was set to launch in March 2019 with new 3D camera technology that's built for augmented reality experiences as well as general shooter improvements.

The same report suggests phone is unlikely to have 5G though.Via PocketNow
