LG G8 ThinQ - User Reviews

  • Yeah I thought so too but beat is to look for the phone prices yourself. I never really trust the mentioned prices that much.

  • Isn't 360$ for renewed one?

  • Lg G7 has got pie update 2 months back

  • Problem with LG in India is that they are very poor with Software updates. I had brought LG G6 in May'17 for 52k. Since then the phone has had only one incremental update... from Nougat to Oreo. Still no Pie update. LG flagships are absolutely No Value for money...

  • The price is now just $360? That is an absolute steal for an SD855 phone with IP and MIL-STD rating, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and FM Radio. Will definitely snatch one of this.

  • You can find one in China.Thanks!

  • Lost my charger and can't find replacement for it. Anybody knows where to find genuine one?

  • even though the g8 has bigger battery than v30, v30 battery last 15hrs for video when g8 is 11hrs!! it has to do with the software.

  • The S10 has terrible battery life. Almost as bad as an iPhone.

  • If LG put all that into a phone, it will be more expensive than $1000. At that time, you will probably complain it it too expensive. My point is: No phone is perfect.

  • Bootloop been non-existent on LG phones since the G6. Search the Google if you don't believe.

  • Even Huawei phones don't have 5000 mAh yet. The G8 has 3500 mAh battery, same as other flagships like Samsung S10.

  • The G8 has 3500 mAh battery and running on efficient SD855 (7 nm) while the V30 only have 3300 mAh battery and less efficient SD836 (10 nm). No matter how you compare it, the G8 will last longer between charges. I am using G7 and I can get 5.5 hours SOT with heavy use despite the battery only 3000 mAh.

  • A good phone have at least 12hrs+ battery life for web n video. This is the reason why im not upgrading my v30.

  • you know you can get this for free if you add a line in your at&t account

  • It's new right. Send it to servis shop. You have a warranty on the phone.

  • I mean really... Where is this going... All we need from the phone is Battery that last for 2 days A camera with super pictures (not with biggest MB) And with a security (finger print and so on.) And fresh smiles 😉😁

  • Has anyone had issues with the phone not coming on. I had it plugged in the car charger and it just blanked out! It won't come on. I need help!

  • The G8 has a 400mah bigger battery (???)

  • I hope sony comes with a new ldac for replacing headphone jack

  • Lg is stupid. Always have small battery except v30 (best phone). Step up your game lg. Im not upgrading my v30 yet.

  • Hope that the upcoming LG's G8X & V60(S) will come with 8 or 12Gb of Ram, and more storage

  • We need LG I love LG Mobile But why you can not make new LG Mobiles 5000 mAh or above Battery I lives in Saudi Arabia And Here everyone is son of Hua Huawei ,Iphone and

  • What the hell are you talking about? I don't need wireless headphones. Hopefully LG is one of the last brands that leave mini jack. And how do you imagine "unbreakable phone"? That's absolutely impossible.

  • Don't forget that you aren't able to update AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile phones if you use another carrier.

  • No, this is not a 5G phone. LG V50 supports 5G networks.

  • would somebody know if this phone will work on T-Mobile 5G network?

  • LG reveals Android 9.0 Pie update schedule

  • I have LG G7 and I didn't receive Pie update yet

  • Looks like a good phone, But the screen is too small for my taste. Also Lg still doesn't address bootloop problems from older phones.

  • To be fair, LG is still giving updates to their phones eventhough they're very slow and late. Approximately in Q2 2019, LG will give Android Pie to G7, V30, V30s, V35, V40 and perhaps other models. The good news for those who are fans of LG phones is that the prices of LG phones usually go down faster. So LG phones is a good bargain and can save us money whether you buy it brand new or especially second hand.

  • LG please please stop putting notches on your phone.. and maybe a lot of people will consider using LG again.

  • Yes correct

  • And iPhone XS still better than both phones.

  • I would prefer LG G8 ThinQ over S10e and iPhone XS.

  • When it will come to India.........??

  • Stop spamming here. If you want your phone to update every second or minute then buy other brand lol Why you are getting dead if no updates???

  • Bummer they left out the ir blaster i would have went back to lg over my new samsung s10 just for the processer and the ir blaster difference! But they choose to go the samsung route which will be my last samsung phone also until they bring back the ir after this one im going third party market phones just for the ir.

  • wait dear. they doing bugs clearing (100 % ).

  • I would recommend S10e over LG and iPhone with the price range. I won't mind picking up OnePlus 7 pro.

  • Don't buy LG phones, if you are interested in Google updates. LG is not going to give you any updates. In india there LG g7 thinq is still on 8.0.0 till date (09/07/2019).

  • So..join LG & make it happens RK

  • That won't change my mind on buyi¦g LG,have been with them from LG g3 till g8 I just other my and am getting it this friday so don't say junk about them because u are no longer with them,they are still the best mobile phone company.

  • Can you find any brand that never had those cases? I can't think of any

  • Again OLED display which blinks as well as AMOLED ?

  • LG G8 ThinQ (USA from ebay) vs Samsung galaxy S10e (Global)? Which prefer? I search phone that screen would be not bigger, than 6.0-6.1~ Or maybe Iphone XS 256gb? But the price....

  • Good Looking and love it

  • Looks good and price is ok but After the LG G4? LG needed a class action lawsuit to accept responsibility for their faulty phones. Not falling for it ever again. I'll find something else.

  • Just create your own phone dude :D

  • LG G8 Think Should Be Launch With Following Features: 1. Head Phone Should be wireless type included Mobile. 2. Battery Charging Should be wireless & fast. Charging. 3. Battery mAH Should be 5000 Or More than 5000 mAH. 4. LG logo should be printed on the front bottom. 5. Mobile back cover should be included Mobile. 6. Mobile Screen Protector Should be pasted on the touch. 7. Mobile Should be Dedicated Memory Card Slot. 8. Mobile Rear Camera Glass Should be Scratch less or Non Scratch. 9. Mobile Should be Launched in The India With 3 Rear Camera. 10. Mobile Should Be Supported Inferred, Very Need we can operated TV Set Top Box, AC Etc. 11. Mobile Should be Unbreakable.

  • in Europe will be G8S ThinQ on July. SD855/6GB/128GB/FHD+/6.1"

  • Maybe in autumn?

  • Will it ever be released on the European market?

  • Every phone is different. Time will tell. IMHO G4 was the best phone I ever used. I still use it and have a spare. Boot loop was a nasty problem, fixed for free by LG (replacing motherboard). Previously had Galaxy Note 3 - motherboard died (common problem) Samsung refused to acknowledge and fix for free.

  • it's very frustrating not to see it on european market even 3 month after announcement date. I'm thinking to switch to any other phone manufacturer just for sake that i can buy it much easier.

  • This may be a decent phone but keep in mind that lg will treat you poorly if anything goes wrong. Ask any former owner of lg G4 and the bootloader problem. There's better choices out there.

  • When will be available buy in Europe?

  • Locked bootloader. Alas.

  • Troll try to wake up this issue again & again...

  • I Like LG Mobile Smartphone And I am using 4 LG Mobile Smartphone. But now new mobile coming without LG Logo in the front bottom. LG Logo should be written on Front touch bottom side. Without LG Logo Mobile Smartphone not looking Good. So I Requested to LG Owner Please give the LG LOGO On Each Smartphone. I want to Buy LG G8 Think with 3 Rear Camera and also Headphone should be included in the accessories in The India. Thanks

  • Weill, it is because 98% use auto mode.

  • dxomark is joke . dxomark on lg phone testing only auto mode !!!! why not test the manual mode and ultrawide camera. In manual mode and ultrawide camera , lg g8 is better than samsung s10 and huaewei phones

  • install the gcam app, should work decent enough

  • Picked up a brand new sealed G8 on Ebay with a Speck case for $500.00 and I agree with you. Just like anything, first LG I've used and getting the learning curve down.

  • G8 Dxomark is up on their website

  • Recently traded in my 2016 Pixel XL and was able to get the G8 for $310. Really can't go wrong for that price and trade in offer. Phone is much better than the 2016 Pixel but Google Night Sight is so much better than LG's Night View. Glade I took advantage of the trade in but I would never pay the full asking price for the G8.

  • How is battery life

  • I am using this phone simce 2 days and I can say to everybody who is concidering this phone to go for it and get this G8 because it's really good for daily use.

  • I've had a V10 and a V20, neither had OLED, both were IPS

  • 3 of the 5 camera sensors have OIS but it is unfortunate LG failed to include super slo-mo video

  • Always used to count on LG using IPS Displays on the G Series devices and if you wanted OLED you'd buy the V Series ... All my PC monitors have LG IPS panels... Oh well...

  • They replaced my bootloop G4 even the waranty is expired. Its fact

  • How can LG release a device with latest CPU, bigger battery, P-OLED - all of those combined should provide you with an excellent battery life but they have yet to reach G Flex, V30 or at least G2 battery life. When will they understand that battery life is the most important feature people want?

  • a premium smart phone with one loudspeaker only.cmon lg

  • For anyone contemplating buying LG, if you were around a few years ago, LG had the G$ and it had a "boot loop" problem where it kept rebooting and became a brick. It was a manufacturing problem where a soldering might come apart. It happened to me. LG wouldn't fix or replace it. My warning to you - LG was nasty and invalidated the warranty. They lost me as a customer forever. Samsung has had issues but they replace their defective products so they can keep their loyal customers. Just a word of caution about LG.

  • 1) LG is the first brand which launched with dual main camera phone (LG G5) as branded phone 2) LG is the first brand which launched dual display in android smartphones (LG V20) 3) LG is the first brand which introduced with IR LED where we can use as remote for TV, HT, Projector, AC, DTH etc... Then what are you trying to teach here?

  • When will people learn to not care what other people buy or don't buy??

  • when will lg learn that no one buys lg's anymore.

  • Guess who is stupid then? Named which brand have ois on its selfie cam....??? Read...alot....alot.....alot

  • Very expensive phone for a very stupid front facing camera (no gyro-EIS, OIS) and no 720p@960 fps. How come LG? Very stupid!

  • I agree with you

  • Very true, besides the prices of LG phones usually go down quickly so for it to make it an even better value for money.

  • Dear LG Management Please arrange a outlet for mobile phones in Muscat,Oman. So that your product fan will approach easily to purchase.

  • Ip 68 gaes...so it cant,lower the price,plizzz LG

  • If u look at price wise, this is must buy phone from all other high end phones.

  • Bring back the infrared blaster, please, LG?

  • Yes red on the G8 looks awesome but you can also get the red color on the V40 and that's cheaper, but it's bigger so depends on what size one likes.

  • here on gsmarena it says `IN STORES NOW` for (shipping to) Europe: can anyone tell please where to buy?

  • trolll detected , stop trollling here

  • LG must have got it wrong. Only 6.1" screen. No stereo speaker n battery only 3500mAh. And why selfie need TOF camera? Wrong innovation!!!

  • where is sunlight?

  • So many great phones for low prices!!! G7, g8, v40, v35, v30. For the cheap price, these phones are the best. Using v30 now. Still going strong. Not sure if i need an upgrade!!!! Red color g8 is sexy as hell!!!!!

  • Completely free when you add a new line at at&t

  • Android 9 have so much problems with battery life......

  • Platinum grey is Verizon exclusive?

  • 50% off on TMobile when you add a line

  • When will thos phone comes to europe

  • No

  • has led notification

  • Does the phone have a LED notification light?

  • um, um, um what? first of all again? second u mean that LGs sound is not good even in the G8?

  • although I am a fan of fm radio. I have lg g7 with fm radio/ also with 3.5 mm jack/ I stopped using the jack when I purchased a pair of wireless headphones/ obviously some sound quality loss/ but not enough to care while im on the bus/ long story short/ I don't use fm/ as it can be staticy/ especially on a bus/ and it needs wired headphones/ which when you have wireless/ why bother/ - if your really a radio head/ then alternatives like streaming from your favourite stations website/ is an option with no interference/ - or if your at home/ just buy a radio/ or use the radio in a car/ its 2019

  • Have u ever try,LG phones before? Buy it,try it before comment keiiii.

  • Gsmarena please show the price!

  • All the non-Chinese Android strugglers should collaborate to make a good smartphone. LG, Sony and Nokia. Combine their expertise and patents. LG has the audio, display and semiconductors. Sony has the camera sensor, battery and 3D facial scanning. Nokia has Zeiss camera lens, stock(-ish) Android and 5G patents. Band together, and they may yet survive. Stay apart, and all three will perish.

  • I've had four LG phones and still use my G2, which has a pretty good wide angle camera even by 2019 standards. I've taken some really good landscape photos with it. LG phones aren't so widely available in the UK just now but I would definitely go after the G8 Thinq. I'm sure it has the usual LG great sound quality, finely made camera and very bright torch function.

  • no speakers again lg.waste of money

  • It has FM radio, it has 3,5mm jack.

  • You can definitely squeeze out more - since g8 is oled

  • the IS fm radio, you blind?

  • no Fm radio= no buy

  • LG G7: 3000 mAh battery, 10nm processor, LCD Display = 77h battery life LG G8: 3500 mAh battery, 7nm processor, OLED Display = 79h battery life Well done for fake results!

  • Rly only 79h endurance?

  • Would like to see battery endurance rating. 7nm processor, does it make battery efficient?

  • G8 is $610 on tmobile! Best bang for buck. But im waiting for a battery review.

  • I wait on reviews!

  • U cant go wrong with g7 or v30 for cheap price! Get g7 its a lil better.

  • 845 and 2k LCD make a bad daily battery life.

  • But is LG G7 not a better choice?

  • Rly LG G8 main camera f/1.6? Other website say f/1.5.

  • Still using my V30+,everything is great...so stop troll here. LG makes a great phones with reasonable price (wait until 6 months & feel it)

  • Im using v30. Best lg phones. G8 is nice but i dont see the need to upgrade from v30. Hope g8 has better battery than v40!

  • V30 was one of their best phones.

  • lg haters trolling here !!!!!

  • I still have v30. The battery is great, 2 days, and the camera is superb, too. It's better than samsung galaxys s8, which my brother owns

  • Not that I can't imagine the snappy UI of the LG vs Samsung, I can, even my wife's LG G6 touch feels great when its not lagging like crap. On the Camera part, I completely disagree with you, I choose my phones in such a way so my phone's camera CAN take great pictures in all lighting situations. I also have a Nikon D7100 with 3 lenses, an external wireless flash, a tripod, some filters. So? You think i carry that crap everyday? Fuck that, I got 2 kids I barely have time to breath. When I want to capture a photo of my kid in some moment I'll use my phone. If i am going to some family picnic I might take the Nikon but probably not... If I am going on a nature trip with my wife I will take the Nikon. Your needs don't match everyone's needs, if you really think we are all idiots, i think you should be asking your self who is the...

  • Not that I can't imagine the snappy UI of the LG vs Samsung, I can, even my wife's LG G6 touch feels great when its not lagging like crap. On the Camera part, I completely disagree with you, I choose my phones in such a way

  • Ive been using lg for 5 years. Im using v30. Best phone. But they make mediocre camera n battery. Nothing stands not. Thats why it does not sell much. Thats a fact. How can im a troll? If they make 20mp cam and 16mp front cam n increase battery life. It will sell. V40 is a failure in those department.

  • trollll detected ,

  • LG phones are great, far underrated for what they offer... as a previous Samsung Galaxy owner, the LG has completely surpassed performance and reliability. Samsung loads a ton of junk on their phones and the performance was always so so. The LG is quick and crisp with better specs all around. I had tried new launcher on my S8 and different settings, always seemed to be slow here and there. My LG is blazing fast, always... haven't needed to "tweak" a thing! And the camera is nice and all, but I don't buy a phone for the camera. Why? Because I am not a total idiot... If I want an actual nice camera, I would buy an actual camera. The Nokia Lumia 1xxx (forget the exact model), had a 41 megapixel phone, I don't see anyone who was rushing out to get it because of the great camera. Apple markets based on these shiny objects and idiots follow. The LG is a great phone... couldn't be happier.

  • stop trolling here

  • Korean Version has three camera ,but sadly globle version will be coming with two cameras only.

  • Lg is stupid. They make mediocre phones. Nothing stands out from the rest. Focus on camera and battery!!!!!

  • U lost your mind. Lg is the one who came up with the rear scanner n power button. Everyone is copying lg. Very smart. U said its bad?

  • According to information, it has triple rear camera, but pic here shows only two rear camera.

  • linus is such an independent source for reviews!

  • Does anyone know if this phone has a notification LED?

  • Wish if LG removed that ugly back fingerprint scanner that makes android phones looks ugly and replace at least with on display optical fingerprint scanner since LG add already add 3D face unlock.

  • the sound is actually very bad on lg g8 see linus tech tips video on it.

  • This will be way better than Samsung s10e which lacks fm radio as well..!!

  • How? Htc kicked the headphone jack

  • HTC is in par with LG on audio dept. They both awesome, leaving others to shame. Unfortunately people only care about cameras quality.

  • Why 12mp? Do 20mp and 16mp front cam. In icrease battery. Camera and battery are the main things consumer are looking for. Come on lg.

  • Lg has always been weak in battery and camera dept. Lg is keep n screwing up. Only good phone is v30 except front camera.

  • Why did LG never yet get 8gigs of RAM?

  • Nobody???

  • 1. Is camera good? 2. Double tap to wake / sleep ?

  • 3 cameras or not, l'm getting one, looks better than s10

  • If you want sound, go LG. Paired with a headphone which has 50Ω or above , will blow your mind. HTC sound was good but cannot compate with Quad Dac.

  • Yes. Me too. I like lg g8. My best flagship 2019. It very special and unique. Hand id new and face id. Sound on display and boombox speaker. Omg. It so great. Red color look so good😄

  • I like g8 over v50 for its size. Ideal size to fit in pockets. V50 is on the bigger side. Will be buying g8 to replace my v30 soon. V30 is best lg phone up to date.

  • LG G8 with WiFi 6 ax.

  • IR blaster is a dying thing, it checked all boxes except that... O3O

  • It supports 4G

  • it supports 4g if you clicl on where it says expand by the networl section it says 4g bands and it supports 4g lte

  • and now LG using AMOLED what a...

  • please put Infrared port to phones next year

  • It doesn't support 4g. Why ?

  • I agree Samsung S10 hole is just as bad as a Notch.

  • notch is bettter than ugly hole on curved screen -samsung s10

  • What do you need a headphone jack for? There is USB Type C I would rather have No OLED than OLED with Notch

  • HTC doesn't have a headphone jack though, and while they do have a dac adapter in the box a modern LG is better than a modern HTC. They still don't have have a single phone with an OLED display yet which is a lot better reading and watching videos which most people do on their phones. not to mention this is has a faster chipset to boot but yeah the notch really isn't any better than thin bezels on a note 9 or something similar.

  • If you want sound go HTC my friend ;)

  • No, this is not 5g capable

  • Is it 5g supported?

  • is it amoled like say here on specification or oled display,,,,?????? how it sound when you play music?????

  • Lg g8 thinq with triple rear camera will probably only be available in South Korea

  • This doesn't deserve more than 700 USD and that too the one with the triple cameras.

  • Yes. It have this. I will buy g8. Unlock screen Hand id and face id 3d. Airmotion. Knock code. Recognize voice and fingerm it have 5 way. Omg. Camera Video portrait. Boombox speaker and sound on display. I hope it 800 usd. G8 will get very people buy it

  • Really? id does have double tab to wake and sleep ? :D I might buy it. I dont like biometrics and buttons, I just like good old tap and draw pattern

  • It has everything what I want, except NOTCH.

  • I"m using v30 now. It's still great. But i will get this g8!!! V40 was a failed. Battery not great!! hopefully g8 battery will be great!!!!!!!

  • lg always have double tap. Its copyright by the company.

  • Is wireless charging on 10W or more?

  • Can somebody tell me does this phone have double tap to wake and sleep?

  • There will be 2 variants of the G8 thinq ie. Triple and Dual rear cameras wheras the G8s thinq will be only one variant in triple camera. That's all confirmed till now.

  • Then g8 will be dual camera g8 thinq and g8s thinq will be triple camera

  • Both are triple cameras but the regular G8 will be available in dual camera setup too.

  • first benchmark results lg g8 has over 368 000 antutu score for pre-production model without final software

  • Which phone is triple camera g8 thinq or g8s thinq or both of them are triple camera?

  • i'd like LG to offer globally the lg g8 with triple camera set up.

  • There is no difference in speed between 6gb ram and 8 gb ram.micro sd cards are cheap -today. 128GB is enough to use.

  • When will LG start making phone's with 256GB Storage and more with 8gigs of ram What is going on LG We Love You but you're messing around Take out the Notch

  • Actually its an LG OLED display.. Amoled displays are made by Samsung.

  • Notch looks better than the hole in the screen.. At least you can hide it. But the hole never

  • Yes second is ultrawide camera. But it's still not confirmed which countries will get the dual or triple camera version. Most probably they are launching the dual camera version to compete with the Galaxy S10e.

  • Que? LG is South Korean. what are you talking about?

  • Most of the world’s Will get version with 2 camera, is the secound Will be Ultra wide one?

  • lg g8 has crystal sound oled display technology from lg oled tv.

  • here say amoled display?????

  • No flagship phone has a dedicated slot these days and some don't even have a SD card slot. Regarding notch it is ugly but thank God LG did not go for the crap holes in displays. But I do agree that the notch is still ugly and the V30 and previous Galaxies were beautiful with their minimal bezels.

  • lg hatters troling again !!!! stop spamming here

  • The notch can be hidden in the settings of the phone and it looks like 18:9 flat screen. notch is better than ugly samsung hole on curved screen ,

  • Two big problems: notch and hybrid slot Ant these are enough not two buy this phone... Premium phones should have dedicated slots if they say they are dual-sim type. And this notch thing is absolutely ridiculous and annoying.

  • Dude, nobody cares about china brands. People buy them because they can't afford a REAL brand so they buy a replica brand. Bleah!

  • Please Lg drop the thinq name. Sound stupid Lg optimus still great

  • The speaker tech great(1st in class),notch? It can turn-off right? Price is the most LG consider,should lower than the '2' other brand.

  • Just gotta wait for the G8 to go on sale first, and then I can expect to snag a new android phone just as good as its competition.

  • What is problem with notch? If you dont like it, you can hide this feature in settings. . OLED display. Good Battery. Good camera. . And what more? ?

  • So most tech reviews and some people on the forum be like 1. Galaxy S10 having the underdisplay fingerprint scanner is cool and futuristic but the G8 having the inscreen speaker is nothing great. 2. Samsung going the triple camera setup is like having the greatest camera setup in the history of smartphones but LG doing the same with G8 is again boring and nothing new. 3. Samsung brought HDR 10+ displays every it's acclaimed but the previous LG phones supporting 4K HDR 10 video recording most reviews don't even mention it. 4. The holes on the Samsung S10 series are no problems for people but LG is hammered down for keeping the notch. Seriously neither LG nor Samsung has brought any ground breaking innovations in their devices both have adpoted the ugly design trends in the form of notches and display holes but people be like yeah the new Samsung Galaxies are so cool and futuristic and LG are so outdated and done. People have proclaimed LG G8 already a failure only because it has the notch and it doesn't have the underdisplay fingerprint scanner without even the other awesome useful features that are added. Let the device hit the market and then judge it on the basis of useful metrics like the Display, Photo, Video and Audio quality, the battery life, durability, UI,etc.

  • Galaxy S4/Note 4 did this in 2013 and I think S3/Note 3 before that.

  • Perfect size for a phone. No phone should be longer than 155mm!!!!! Notch is to save screen space. Quit whinning like a child. Perfect size, great battery, good camera, awesome sound. Im soldd on this g8!!!! Will be upgrading from v30. V40 n v50 too big. Not my cup of tea.

  • I bought a Chinese phone early 2016. Ulefone Power for $150. I could wake the phone with a wave and switch songs and the photos by moving my hand, pause the song by pressing gesture all without a touch. Lock screen gestures etc. A 2016 $150 phone. It ain't anything new or awe inspiring for the ones who didn't know.

  • This seems like a perfect phone, btw for the people disturbing with notch,you can simply hide it

  • Because holes are uglier than notches.

  • WHY LG? You could just used the Dual Camera version as the LG Q8. LG V50 as the highest tier LG G8 as the mainstream flagship LG Q8 as the Mid Tier phone with SD 821

  • And lcd means ghost screen.. Oled always better than lcd..

  • No, no, Noooo, why LG? Why, why, why come with the Apple notch again? Such a shame, it would have been a fantastic device... With those big bezels, it better be cheap!

  • Specs wise this is a great device. Hope LG releases it soon at a reasonable price.

  • g8 has stereo speaker and stereo sound has Crystall Sound OLED ( sound on screen and boombox speaker 2.0 stereo sound)

  • It has stereo speakers the screen acts as the second speaker.

  • Amoled means burn-in

  • So the V50 got stereo speakers but not the G8?!

  • I'm a Samsung user and to be frank I'd choose this one over the S10 5G because it has the SD card slot. I don't care about the cameras. Drawback: NOtch.

  • it has stereo speakers, the screen works as the second speaker (Crystall Sound OLED) in combination with the bottom Boombox speaker. Check the hands-on review.

  • LG no stereo speaker? Rly? No? No

  • Lol. LG G8 doesn't have Telephoto camera it has ultrawide camera. Having 3 cameras of different focal lengths is pretty useful. Both the Telephoto and ultrawide camera are useful in different scenarios. It's great that now more and more manufacturers are adopting the triple camera approach.

  • The number of cameras doesnt matter. The camera function is important. The main camera and telephoto are enough I think. Wide angle is not required.

  • Galaxy S10 has three rear cameras this one has just two. If LG prices this around the S10 this will be another failure. LG should price this device around the S10e.

  • update lg g8 has dual camera 12 mpx ( sensor sony imx 345 exmor rs ) F1.5 and 1.4 micron .sensor size 1/2.55 and ultra wide camera 16mpx F1,9

  • I agree with you

  • add the infared scanner!

  • 6.4 inch OLED screen, not 6.1 inch AMOLED. ToF sensor also integrated (with some other new functions that will be presented when the smartphone will be announced).

  • how can i get one in lebanon ?

  • Its p-oled, not amoled!

  • Hopefully, the size is 1.4 um pixels. But a very successful smartphone. Especially about battery size and oled display. And still have 3.5 mm socket. I like it.

  • 5G+OLED+3500mAh now flagship on track

  • g g8 has dual camera 2X 12 mpx (2x sensor sony imx 345 exmor rs ) main camera is F1.5 and 1.4 micron .sensor size 1/2.55 second camera ultra wide angle is 12mpx F1.9

  • Wireless charging becomes and with removable battery.I think it’s better to change battery from 5% to 100% in 1 sec and not wait to charge. also you can use the more and don’t care the battery health. It’s my opinion and which company make a phone with this specs I will buy it sure.

  • Finally... Oled and big battery...

  • Finally.. Well done. Finally get it.. Oled and big battery..only 1.4 μm camera should be better.. But not important.. I love it. Congratulations

  • i am not from usa , in my contry, the current price is 310 eur or 355 $ fo v30+ dual sim model with 128gb and 4gb ram

  • hey can you just tell what's the current price of v30 in USD because it sounds a great phone

  • I have LG V30 1,5 years old, the phone is fantastic,I plan to upgrade to lg v50

  • who picks a removable battery over waterproofing and wireless charging. We have quick charge. a removable battery is a stupid idea

  • That is the phone LG should have released a year ago. Oled screen and a greater battery. It took them a year to understand. Still a good phone, with the same size as the Galaxy S10, but 100mAh more battery and an interesting camera. This is not a bad phone, but a phone that's just doing things better than the G7 did.

  • Non-removable Li-Po 3500 mAh battery...Uhm WHY?:((

  • Coming from V20, I miss dedicated micro SD and IR on newer LG flagships (or any others for that matter). These are must haves to uograde. V20 is still going strong with me but for battery failing which I replaced with 6400mAh Hyperion extended one, so that was sorted.

  • the g5 has a removable battery

  • just sharing my opinion here like everyone else here

  • to LG LG g8 after months will take the new android version? i hane g2 and g4 and i'm very dissapointed ONLY for this. PS:LG MAKE A PHONE WITH REMOVABLE BATTERY and let it not be waterproof 100% $$$

  • I thought the notch died in 2018, at least add a stereo speakers :/ the rest of specs look good tho

  • Lol stop spamming here dude.

  • IMO, uses sim 2 slot was/is very bad idea also that useless notch is horrible rituals !!

  • That's one ugly a** notch, apart from that it looks good.

  • Guys pls don't buy lg. They are really good in hardware but they don't push any software update. There after sales are really bad

  • FFS, top of the line SoC, put in 4000+ mAh, at least. Be a little foreseeing for once.

  • LG is lacking many critical features like worst selfi camera and wireless charging is limitted to only specific regions. Why they are only allowing wireless charging in US models.. ? Its like saying rest of the regions should be more developed before using it.. Other than that LG G6 mobile presemtly am using is awesome...

  • why is every one always complain about pricing at Lg i dont get it. Their phones starts at high price as being done by every company BUT they drop their prices after a couple of months way more than any other brand. Lg G7 dropped from 800 euros to 500 in my country in 2 months and now (8.5 months after release) is 340 euros.

  • Dear LG, Please focus on the below points atleast for the next phone: 1. Front cam should be atleast 16 MP wide. 2. 8 GB ram should be there. 2. Stop using hybrid sim slot. Instead, provide a dual sim slot along with dedicated micro sd slot. 3. Should not remove the headphones jack. 4. Include wireless charging for all phones rather than providing it only for specific regions. 5. Continue to keep IP68 rating. 6. Upgrade to onscreen fingerprint sensor. I'm using g6 for almost 2 years now.. Sorry to say it holds worst selfi camera and i miss wireless charging too.

  • LG should use the same primary of the V40 with 1.4 micron pixels.

  • my lg v20 also has android 8.0 oreo

  • LG....what are you doing?!?! I know this is a leak but seeing how last year the G7 leaks were accurate, it'll probably be another iPhone X ripoff. Can't imagine that LG will be good when I need a new phone

  • I have LG G4 and the last system update was Android 6.0 3 years ago.

  • tooooooooooo narrow

  • another iphone x clone hate the noise

  • samsung s10 has 3300mah batery

  • Still i using LG G3 D855 model... Maybe will be time to change to this G8.

  • Everything is ok only need 1020p@480fps slow motion.

  • Nice battery better than S10 with 3500mAh and 6.1".

  • Yes but after how many times. When comes to updates Samsung is really slow but LG is even slower. When your phone got Oreo pie was already out for many phone brands. Thats not nonsense but truth.

  • My lg g5 received 8.0 oreo ( 6.0 is factory android) ,He still works fast and fluently Do not talk nonsense

  • Well phone looks good but as we know LG typical price and the update problems they really should forget phones and eekp working on TV and other priofiting segments.
