LG Q8 (2018) - User Reviews

  • I like Q8 much. It gives me clear display with wide screen. it's easy to shoot at night. It's a good choice!

  • No one

  • But which Xiaomi phone has PEN

  • 1080p (1080 x 1920) screens have 2x pixels of 720p (720 x 1280). 2160p has 4x pixels of 1080p (8x pixels of 720p). More pixels to refresh means more processing power used means shorter battery life.

  • I don't think you get how displays work. A 7 inch 720p display is going to use less power than a 5 inch 1080p display. (Well if the other factors are consistent too)

  • No one need these features. This phone is overpriced because you can buy 3 similarly spec'd xiaomi phones instead of this phone.

  • Display size has more effect on battery life as screen need to lit. There is very minimal battery usage by pixels, so you will have similar battery life no matter what the display is 720p or 1080p or 2160p.

  • No, it depends on upon screen size and capacity of the phone. Nowadays this quantity is small for big phones with big specs, the background processes and the OS consume a part of the stored energy. The standard for a good autonomy is from 3500mAh and up...

  • Hey peeps use Xiaomi redmi 5 plus(note 5)😉,which is cheaper than this and worth buying,with Snapdragon 625.

  • Wow, an LG Q7 with a bigger display. Nothing to see here folks, move on

  • Since when is 3300 mAh small? That's quite standard.

  • Don't you know that display size doesn't affect power usage? Display resolution does. And the LG q8 only has a 1080p display.

  • The Battery seems small but actually ..... compatible with those spec cause the chipset aint that High-end so the use of energy will be low ... so yeah

  • I like this phone for my mother

  • LG LG LG? What do you guys think you're doing repeating the same mistakes over and over again like a reoccurring dream put in a bigger battery for 4000 milliamps to go with this size screen then you would have happy customers the Chinese are doing it why can't you see or who is the one making that decision for that type of battery size I should say they need to be fired by Donald Trump plain stupidity

  • I have no idea, it's a bit strange because last year they also came with a Q8 which was a cheaper V20 that time. I agree it is confusing.

  • Actully the Chipset used in the phone is in question. With that price tag, it should be atleast a Sanpdragon 650. The phone would not feel nice if its laggy with that price tag.

  • Actually some people don't understand the concept. It is Chipset that specify a phone to be low or mid or high not extra features. At least if they want to chart real midrange price over 300 there should be midrange chipset on board. At least Snapdragon 625 is runs very good and it is the most efficient for battery life. The are phones with upper midrange chipset snapdragon 660 which are charging same price and even lower. Verily, this phone will not sell any better in till it come down to around 250 dollars.

  • Indeed this phone looks nice but I hate the way they mixed the low specs with high specs to charge midrange price. The same mistake Nokia did with Nokia 6 the they later redeemed that image. Any moment you opt for low end Chipset the phone is still low end phone. At least Snapdragon 625 or 636 would have been ok. But as it stands now it should be sold at around $200.

  • SD 450 + 420€ price tag = :/

  • Come on LG really really really price is too high 250 to a round 360

  • i overlook screen size, and yes it has different class than Q7, but why on the same line-up "Q" series? Q series should be like G mini, they should put on different name.

  • hello, this phone come to europe? looking for a big phone note8 so expensive for me, maybe xiaomi mi max 3 or this Q8 will it be expensive?

  • LOL, U guys think this phone is Expensive?? - IP68 dust/water proof (up to 1.5m for 30 mins) - MIL-STD-810G compliant - DTS: X Surround Sound Dont u think those features Enough For 420 Eur?? XIAOMI? Dont have That features Huawei? Wow its the same

  • Q7 is a cheaper G7, whereas Q8 is a cheaper V30.

  • Q7 on may 18, Q8 on august '18, LG what are you up to? So you will abandon Q7 software development? I have enough with LG, my G6 still on 7.0 Guys think twice before buy LG, they even abandon their flagship.

  • Troll detected... Hot like iron??..... Drain like super sonic??? Look at v30... Not logic reason

  • Huawei phone no dts no mild std no ip68. Only rely on big battery and bigger ram

  • Please Don't buy any LG phones. I am an LG Smartphone user. Reasons for '' Not to Buy'' 1)Poor Software. They are Still following their Customized UI. Don't provide stock android. 2)LG Smartphones Heating like an Iron Box while using 4G Internet. 3)Color Reproduction is poor. Colors on the screen are not well saturated and not punchy too. 4)Battery Backup- LG Smartphones' battery draining like Supersonic. 5)Front Camera - They provide only 5mp front camera for their flagship smartphones.

  • What a joke.? Is it?

  • for this price you can get an honor 10 way better than this

  • Will it become available in Europe or again not?

  • 420 eur for Snapdragon 450???

  • 3300 mah and 6.2" ??? are you sure LG ???

  • Somes brands apparently haven't realised they are in 2018. They fell asleep a the wheel and nobody is kind enough to wake them up. With this type of offering, the demise of LG is just a matter of time. So far are they as a company when they launched the g2.

  • Why to complaint the price?? Mild std ? Ip68 ? Dts x sound hifi dac ? Lack of ir blaster Above features are hardly to find on the cheap phones nowdays..

  • Snapdragon 450 for 400 euro? You are drunk LG, go home...

  • Idk Lg is so lazy by introducing same phone design? Q stylus? Q8? 2017 q8 design is better than the rear chinese phone look

  • LG gonna extinct soon. Too bad pricing.

  • ip68 & mil-std

  • SD450 at 420 euro??? Really!!!!

  • this phone is not worth half the price seriously at that price would have expected the 835

  • LOL, about 420 Euro for snapdragon 450... You can buy Xiaomi Mi8 with this money... 😂

  • Note 8, now, have similar price (450-500 euros). Its a one year old model, 9 is almost here. And about LG pricing.. SD 450, 3300mah battery, is this Redmi 5 or what, because that phoneid 4x cheaper.. LG fast going down with that strategy :(

  • People are comparing this phone with other Snapdragon 450 phones. However, this one comes with a stylus and it competitors is the Samsung Note 8 phone, which is also with a stylus. It is essentially half the price of a Samsung Note 8.

  • For the pen

  • 420 Euro for a SD 450 Chipset and you wonder why LG's sales are tanking,why would I go for this cr@p when I can get a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro for $190 with SD 636..

  • There are SD660 powered smartphones for half it's price. Not worth that much, around $150 would be ideal.

  • The Q line is looking good for LG phone 320 price will be great

  • For 420 euro, it comes with a snapdragon 450 chipset and a 3300mAh battery despite of a 6.2 inches screen? I don't think this phone has any compelling features whatsoever.

  • SD 450 is for entry level but look at the price, about 420 EUR. Isn't it too overpriced? This is the reason that makes LG unsuccessful.

  • haha yeah, you're right the price is outrageous

  • "Snapdragon 450.. 77mm large.. I'm still waiting a good smartphone from LG since the G6" Me too. How much do we have to wait for yet? G8 possibly? Oh, wait: rumored G8 has 4k display and I can imagine the battery time. :/ Go to Samsung I think. I loved LG at 2017. They are on slope since the G6.

  • LG is dying. Q8 2017 was better than this.

  • Paying 400 for a SD450 phone? Crap phone doesn't worth it.

  • Why would anyone pay that much for an SD450? That's just horrific.

  • I say nothing rather. :(
