Now that Apple's big event is behind us, we can focus on the absolute onslaught of Android phones that are coming in October.

First among the major names will be LG, which just announced it would launch its new flagship, the LG V40 ThinQ, during an Oct. 3 event in New York City.

Accompanying the announcement is a short teaser video -- an animation which shows a camera taking a photo of the same subject in standard, super wide angle and telephoto modes, which corresponds with rumors that the V40 will have three rear cameras.

Other rumored V40 specs include a dual selfie camera; the invite for the New York event also comes with the text "Take 5," which is further proof the phone will have a total of five cameras.

The phone is rumored to have a Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. Given the prominent ThinQ branding, it will also have a fair amount of AI-enhanced features.

Other flagship phones, including Huawei's Mate 20 and Google's Pixel 3, are coming later in October. But the party will start with the LG V40, and we'll be there at LG's event to bring you a detailed report.
