Thanks for making this video. I found it helpful. You seem like a nice smart guy.

Great review 👍

Great test LG devices are really under rated

Great usable side by side review! It was incredibly helpful to see both phones in action side by side as you took both phones though your paces of production and gaming apps as well as camera usage. I agree with you that there is not enough difference between the LG G7 and the LG G8 but in my case I have to replace my G7 and my carrier (t-mobile) is running an excellent sale on the G8's right now (BOGO Free). So, for me it's a great purchase since both my daughter and I need new phones. Well done! I'd love to see more of these types of reviews.

Thanks for this review I currently have G7 thinq had since December last year and was wondering if I should upgrade but now I think,I,shouldn't lol

GREAT Video! Thanks.

Watching from my g8 I love the phone was a nice upgrade from g7, nicer screen, better chip, more ram, more Rom and bigger battery but the one thing I hate is why the American version didn't get the 3 camera setup.

Thanks for the video. I was debating G7 or G8. I think I'll go for the G8. I have a V40 thinq. The low-light videos out on the street actually look better on the G7.

thx 4 video! what about throttling?

I tried the same tests as you did for chrome with my G7, same websites and got faster results did u clean ur G7 using the smart cleaning app before testing? Was at 20% signal strength for my Wi-Fi.

Good review Right now with the 7 price drop it looks more in my budget but the 8 is the latest and gr8est

I have a G8 ThinQ. The audio on recorded video sounds as if the set is underwater. Some would describe it as tinny, but this audio is different in that it adds a wobbly unsettling noise like a sound effect from a horror movie. The only way to fix this is to use Open Camera instead of the built-in camera app. In Open Camera, go to Settings > Video settings > Audio source > Unprocessed. Changing this will make audio sound natural. Using Open Camera may not be a fix because you're sacrificing all the features of LG's app. I've used many iPhones in the past, and none had this problem so far. I hope LG is reading this.

Thanks for the test. I could care less about speed. I just wanted to know if the camera was a huge leap. And it’s not. In my opinion I think the g7 has better low light performance and the g8.

The display on G8 thinQ is Awesome

I think the video test part is opposite or maybe some technical issues when editing or uploading your video cause g8 mic doesn't sound like there's a water inside the mic

0:36 I wouldn't really call it an "upgrade".

When you do the speed tests why don't you sent them on the table? Super annoying with the phones moving around like that.

I might be going LG for my next phone. My Nexus 5X has been great and I've owned LG's before. Plus I don't like in-screen fingerprint scanners, don't like Active Edge and not plopping down over a grand for a SG Note 10+ with only a 60 Hz refresh rate especially when the SG 11 is right around the corner.

The G8 just has better optimization with OLED but it's not better than LCD for battery life that's a proven fact that LCDs consume less power, plus the Snapdragon 855 is more power efficient because of the new 7nm processing power.

Is the G7 running Pie? BTW these stupid "benchmarks" are doing nothing more than noting the eMMC storage performance differences and that would be because the G7 has 64GB whilst the G8 has 128GB. Larger SSD = Faster/greater throughput.

g7 looks good but quality g8 takes it better battery, sleek look , camera blew that horrible night vision did you not see the comparison?? and that g8 was so fast ive never seen a phone that fast i say g8 all the way im gettibg that phone fasho!!

Yes, upgrade! It's worth it for the battery, newer version of OS, screen, go to swappa.com and get a deal on it. I like it because of the contacts on LG phones let you have unlimited characters in the notes section in the contact. Samsung phones limit you. Thanks for the review.

They are properly rated for what they deserve. No pie update on last year flagship until now. Is that a joke? Even LG don't take their smartphones seriously, how could they expect it to customers then?

I have a 3a coming in for my Fi line, using a Moto z3, which I got for like almost nothing between selling a few older devices and credits from BB. I didn't order the XL version because all of my phones are large, wanted something smaller for a change up. I did do one of those TMO scheme's, needed another line, her ip7 was starting to fail (not interested in phoneOS arguments). Basically she traded in a broken ip7, she got the 10Xr I paid like $40 extra to up her to 256gb, they had one left in red which is the color she wanted. In my case it works out, she had it since last fall. Bought my 3a through Fi, should come sometime this weekend. Not in a rush. I did have like $30 in equipment credit do to some logistical problem with not being able to receive incoming calls.. So basically it paid the sale tax, and get $100 credit towards my Fi line, which means free service for 4 months. I bought my G8 brand new locked to T-Mobile for $500 which included a Speck case, which seems to go for about $26. on Amazon but using a Spigen Tough Armor which I use on most of my phones. Sadly Spigen doesn't have their full line of cases for the G8. If you can snag a G8 for $500, I would get that over the 3a. And nice birthday present either way.

Just bought the g8. I can't complain.

I was outside having a cigar and watching your evaluation on my G8. First LG phone I have had. I picked it up sealed with a Speck Presidio case delivered $500. The only downside is it was locked to T-MOBILE. Which I use. It is a great device for what I spent. As an earlier post said. An underated device. At list price. It's still a good device. And noticed. A week or so later the general price for what you would spend increased. Do I think it's camera and display are as good as the S10. No, but not a lot worse. I also think the large KZread evaluators had a negative or neutral stance can be do to bias or some relationship with other brands comes in. I generally don't buy carrier phones. But at the price I can live with it. I think TMO put 3 apps on the G8. Which I use, except for the Hotspot app which can be disabled and just redirects you to the phones feature. Getting used to the buttons doesn't take long to get used to. And prefer the power button to the S10+. Thank you for your evaluation.
