The company is also using the opportunity to stuff a midrange phone into the G7 family. The G7 Fit (below) again preserves the screen but drops back to an older-still Snapdragon 821 and uses a less-sophisticated 16MP rear camera (f/2.2 aperture instead of the G7 One's brighter f/1.6). Some countries will get a version of the G7 Fit with 64GB of storage, though, and the rest of the design remains intact.

LG plans to discuss availability and pricing only on a local basis, so it's not certain when these will be available. We wouldn't count on them reaching your part of the globe, either: LG is clearly aiming at cost-conscious buyers who want the basic G7 formula, and that's more likely to involve developing countries.
