LG G8S ThinQ - User Reviews

  • What about camera

  • As compare to lg v40 which phone performs better camera

  • Does it have quad DAC. It says it has 32 bit filter. But I don't see hi Fi filter in sound settings

  • Lg v40 definitely better in term of better camera optics like 1.5 f main camera while g8s has 1.8 f camera 2nd lg v40 has 2k display and 568 ppi very clear video playback as compared to fullhd plus g8s screen Lg v40 has quad dac g8s is lacking Lg v40 has snapdragon 845 while g8s 855 if u are not heavy gammer then go for lg v40

  • So the G810 dual sim version doesn't have quad dac?

  • Why the hell would they eliminate the Quad-DAC. It's insane, I love music and that's why I buy these phones besides standard of quality. Please don't drop Quad-DAC, it's the only field where you guyz are undisputed champs.

  • Lg g8s or lg v40 which phone is better

  • In camera department g8s is better than lg v40

  • Lg g8s is better to buy over lg v40

  • Does it has rgb notification light?

  • Nevermind the phone's second speaker appears to be at the top of the phone according to a user review in another website

  • Battery Battery good same like 7t. Because of 1080p or 400ppi... Better than v40. Same like v30plus. Eye comfort is there. Last 3months i used oppo reno 10x. Redmi k20pro. Oneplus 7. Real me x. All those mobiles making my eyr strain.when calling talking alot getting irritated in ear. To be frank BRAND IS A BRAND SAMSUNG LG SONY APPLE. NO COMPRAMISE . LG GREAT BRAND QUALITY NO COMPRAMISE. PRICE IS AGGRESSIVE

  • It doesn't have FM Radio!

  • 3550 mah

  • Yes it does

  • Mr Shamsung has to note down such prices.... In India Mr Shamsung launches flagship phones priced equivalent to iphone, Without a Qualcomm chipset, without frequent updates after a year, delayed second OS upgrade, no assurance on software updates beyond two years.... There are no competing flagships for Oneplus in India so far, appreciate LG launcing a flagship with competing price....Will consider LG next time...

  • Hi, could anyone confirm if the LG G8s has aptx-HD, LG G7 ThinQ has it but it is not on the specs for this one, Thank you

  • What about battery life?

  • Nevermind the phone's second speaker appears to be at the top of the phone according to a user review in another website

  • Agree with last post. I am from Latvia and this phone is selling right now for about +/- 400EUR - for this price it is excellent phone with all I need, they even kept TOF sensor. Yeah, some sacrifises has been made - display, no DAC, chin. BUT all of these sacrifises is only benefits for me: display - 1080p, 400ppi is OK for almost everybody, except really geeks, DAC - right now I have V30 and barely using wired phones (I have AT M50x), most of the time - using BT headphones with aptX, chin - OK, it is horrible, but because of OLED screen you can configure upper corners with black color and chin will be gone! And with that said, I am moving to G8s in about a month from V30, will keep V30 as spare phone when I will need it.

  • Stereo speakers? I only see one speaker at the bottom, where's the second one

  • I would call it a flagship killer aswell, like I said in k20 pro premiums discussion, this LG has stereo speakers, a SD card slot up to 1TB, NFC (only Chinese k20 pro has NFC not the global mi 9t pro), audio jack and it's 430€ in some stores and the price might go even lower! Anybody knows if this gets Android 10? If this phone had a sd855+, no notch (it's not that big of a deal anyway) and faster updates I would instantly buy it without a second thought!

  • In Europe/Lithuania it's 455 eur. at the moment, i would call it flagship killer at the moment it replaced Oneplus in this category and i would choose it insted of Xiaomi mi 9 for sure

  • 1) Is possible in this resolution but not in telephoto camera 2) Yes 3) Yes

  • G8S for CPU, GPU and battery like (and in my opinion for Z Camera)

  • HD Audio Recording, but have't FM Radio but you can download an apk.

  • lg g8s now available on amazon u.a.e

  • Why're they bringing this to latin america instead of G8 (they realized that device was bad for saling?) I would have preferred g8 size, g8s stereo speakers and g8x notch (screw big notch with tof, not worth it).

  • As every year, the price of this is dropping like crazy. Just this week, it dropped from 464€ to 419€

  • For me he need to have more ppi like over 500...

  • Has it fm radio with rds and recording?

  • G-OLED = glass OLED plate? P-OLED = plastic OLED plate?

  • Perfect size and perfect weight with good all round specs.

  • I bought it a month ago, it's very handy to use, one of the best fone from LG

  • Pocophone is a cheapo. Why would someone who has budget over 750 buy it?

  • It's crap, buy G6... better. Or... Note 10 Plus

  • poland

  • where are you from?

  • g8s because newer cpu,gpu,and battery lasts way longer..

  • Hmm, this or the V40?

  • its out in argos sim free department £599

  • Slowmo possible, integrated slowmo editor. As for the sound kept during slowmo, I think I have it on my V40 and was there on the prototype of the G8s so I think it will be there.

  • Hi! Few questions about video aspect: 1) Is it possible to record slowmo (1080p 240fps) in telephoto mode? 2)does it keep sound while playing slowmo? 3) is there an lg editor for slowmo to do: real speed - > slow - > real speed? Progressively? With sound? I mean the weeyoouuuuuwee effect like sony or apple can do Thanks :)

  • LG the great. LG V series and G series phones are very good. good build quality, very good components, military standared checked, original android stock, IP 68, good chipset,durability,reliaibility. thanks LG. keep going on .best wishes. ( if anybody have doubt check in youtube LG phones testing ).

  • Where did you buyt LG G8s from ? Please share URL or shop name. Thanks,

  • What is the difference between g-oled and p-oled?

  • The LG g8s has the widest wide angle camera. Wider than s10 plus. Lgg8s at 137 degrees. It has a bigger 6.2 inch screen. Even if its not a quad dac, it still will have a good single dac, With head phone jack. Not sure if the main camera is that much worse. I can't get it in the UK the Lgg8s.the only LG available is lgv50 which is only on 1 carrier, EE. Whom are terrible.

  • LG G 7 Thinq still a good phone.Why Lg G8 Thinq

  • lg g8s has DAC and has stereo boombox speaker

  • Not an inferior phone? Compared to the original LG G8 it has lower screen resolution, smaller pixel density, no quad DAC and Boombox speaker. Yes it has an extra telephoto camera but now the main camera has worse aperture while the ultrawide camera is smaller. "First world problems" you might say and i get it, but still, facts are facts and i am getting a worse phone just because i happen to live in a different geographic location. Its insane!

  • I have LG G7? Is it worth upgrading to G8s? Better camera? G7 have quad dac, G8s unfortunatly not.

  • How it's camera

  • It's not quite an inferior phone. On the contrary. It has an extra camera (the telephoto one). Other than that, the specs are quite the same, the Lg G8 is only "missing" the upper frontal loudspeaker...

  • I bought the LG G8s but it doesn't have FM radio. Can't get it going. Other than that it's a wonderful phone.

  • stop trolling . g8s has dac also has stereo boombox speaker,

  • No qdac like G8, worse camera vs G8, no buy...

  • I dont understand. From what i m hearing the original LG G8 can not be found in Europe. Why did LG decide instead of releasing G8 in Europe, to release an inferior model there? Seriously this company's biggest enemy is itself. With every model they release, they do one stupid thing and shoot themselves on the foot.

  • then you get ghost touch problem, no MHL link support and no USB3.1, bloatware unwanted non-removable apps, disgusting MiUi OS

  • Did they fixed the battery replacement option?

  • LG G8s use new G-Oled display no P-Oled.

  • lg g8s has boombox stereo speaker ,32-bit 192kHz audio, DTS: X Surround Sound

  • LG G8 has qdac, LG G8s has only dac? Quality difference?

  • in Germany lg g8s is selling for 769 eur, with the phone you get 43 inch 4k smart TV

  • Poco phone rubbish camera..nothing special

  • I could get 2 pocos f1 for that money. Think about that ;)

  • I wait on review on this phone!

  • Yes, I think the camera amera is dissapointed. Yes, it have three cameras but if you compare to Lg G8 two cameras is quite dissapointed...

  • even telephoto lens in 3 camera model of G8 , F/2.4 Vs F/2.6

  • lg g8s has cameras -Rear: 13MP Super Wide (F2.4 / 1.0μm / 137˚) / 12MP Standard (F1.8 / 1.4μm / 78˚) / 12MP Telephoto (F2.6 / 1.0μm / 48˚) link

  • thanks lg for still giving us the headphone jack ...

  • Camera of G8s is much INFERIOR compared to original G8: 1. Main camera G8 is excellent 12MP f/1.5 compared to 13MP f/1.8 of G8s 2. Selfie camera 8MP f/1.7 vs 8MP f/1.9 3 The most dissapointing is Wide Angle camera: 16MP f/1.9 vs 13MP f/2.4 Even LG G7 wide angle is much2 better than G8s One word: INFERIOR.

  • Why is there a notch/punchhole/whatever, when the phone still has a chin?! The whole reason for cutouts was to make the screen go from one edge to another, otherwise they're not needed.

  • has radio , every lg phones has fm radio

  • LG G8... keep it simple lg....

  • No, I didn't find it.

  • no one has this phone. It's not out yet.

  • For those who have this phone, does it have fm radio?

  • The phone come in July in Europe, maybe in two weeks...

  • Maybe on summer end or autumn

  • IP68?

  • Interesting to see how the battery life this phone is. Nevertheless the price must come down before I can consider it.

  • when will this phone come to europe? is there a release plan on the way? anything?

  • science has not yet proved

  • Does it have MIL-STD-810G compliant and IP68?

  • The g series only had dedicated quad dac since g7 thinq, except for the g5 b&o module and the asian version of g6. Aniway, this model, g8s does have dedicated DAC and amplifier. And it is a version of g8 that is gonna sell in europe only.

  • A couple of thing i'm missing in the specsheet : - Does it have a notification LED - Does it have support for bluetooth rSAP profile - Does it have 3D face unlock

  • Those specs look the same as the 'standard' G8... It is written that is has QHD+ OLED display, SD855, IP68 protection and shock resistance. I think that leaflet is something messed up.

  • Does anyone know if the G8s is going to be released in the UK? It seems LG are giving up on the UK market for its flagship phones, which is a shame as LG have always offered an affordable alternative to Samsung whilst keeping features like fm radio (I use every day).

  • LDAC is included in android since 8.0

  • LG G8s specification.

  • Still coming soon ???? Oooh !! Come on.. How long waiting? This is the problem with L.G. They are always late to the party.....

  • LG G8s sell in Jun.

  • summer 2019

  • the only way LG want to survive in smartphone world is to focus on two thing. camera and audio... provide better luxury audio system, headphone jack and LDAC wireless audio..

  • Sorry, just to be clear: are you saying that the G8s will NOT have the dedicated quad DAC that all G-series phones have had until now? This is quite crucial for I'd buy this phone only for the DAC. Can you confirm?

  • When this phone will be release?

  • That and the G8s has a 1080p display, none of the advanced sound recording that the G8/V50 have, and it appears to not have the IP68 or MIL-STD-G protection. This will be a good chunk cheaper for those who don't care about that stuff.

  • LG G8s camera main 12MPx f/1.8 2nd wide 13MPx f/2.4 3rd 12MPx tele f/2.6

  • not official specification ,this is fake specification

  • This notch is even bigger when last year😂😂😂

  • No Quad-DAC, MicroSD or Crystal Sound Display on G8s. Source:

  • This LG G8s is Globaly, in Czech Bring March !

  • LG please give this version globally.

  • LG G8s G-Oled new Oled display, No P-Oled, and G8s no IP68 and MIL-STD?? RLY?

  • Well I found out that resolutions are different, with G8 on 1440p while G8s on 1080p. So I would guess G8s will have better battery life at the expense of a "poorer" resolution.

  • why amoled when they say it is oled display??????

  • Nice phone display much more better

  • it's not amoled display.it is oled lg display.

  • I think this will be market dependant and the lucky ones will get the s variant!

  • G8 = 6.1" and 3500 Mah battery G8S= 6.2" and 3550 Mah battery Absurd and unnecessary but True... I hope there is more reason for 'S' model

  • What's the difference between G8 and G8s?

  • So LG decided to make 2 G8 phones this year. Interesting, but they should have done more differences than this and the slightly bigger battery.
