      I personally think it's a good thing that LG has lower brand recognition. It means you can get devices for incredible value for money (i.e no way in hell the S9 is worth double the price of a discounted G7. Absolutely not.)

      Good luck with the no coverage. I know Sprint advertise 1% in Verizon. But you will soon see that's no true. Yes they are cheaper but not the best. But you probably already know this? 🤔

      Save your money DO NOT get the G7, the v-line is hands down better then the G. The v30 is cheaper and packs more camera features then the G7 plus it has a brighter & better screen. The v30 has a OLED while the G7 has LCD screen, my friend has the g7 & my screen is brighter then hers even with the new brightness feature. On another note a lot of reviewers aren't saying this but while recording on the G7, you can't switch from normal to wide angle. You legit have to stop recording then switch to wide angle, on top of that it's not as wide as the v30.

    LG is always on the first of my list when looking I fell in love with the g2 ever since then I've only got lg, they have great features and many go unnoticed, they have a weak marketing campaign (loved the Jason Statham ad for g5) and the name of the G7 is kinda a turn off but it's still a great device I'd buy.

    I've had this phone for literally a week - 7 days, and so far I'm happy with it. Its speaker, though mono, has enough bass when you're holding it. Just imagine the bass when you lay it flat on the table. My last phone was a Sony XZ. I got it thinking the stereo speakers would blow me away. Instead, it blew my top because the speakers on them were tinny even on max vol.

    I love this phone. I've had it for two days & it was worth my money. Now, I cracked down on Apple about their notch but seeing the X in person along with the G7 it's actually a pretty add on & gives an extra bit of screen real estate. The constant LG skin complaint is something I can't understand, like what is it about stock android? I usually get used to a company's software & it overall grows on me.

    I've been hanging on to my G4 for years because the combination of camera and software are the best I've ever seen. Maybe it was an accident? Because the G5 and G6 seemed to lose something. Is the G7 the G4 upgrade I've been waiting for? I'd love to live in a world without boot-loop, but if I'm going to ditch my beloved G4, it needs to be worth it!

    • @TechDaily
      @TechDaily  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the G7 is a stellar upgrade. BUT if you can jump to the V35 - do it. Wait a couple more months for the price to go down (second-hand like Swappa/eBay) and it would be a perfect LG phone. Even if the V40 comes out in October like its being rumored lol

    • @mowskeeto2602
      @mowskeeto2602 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had the G4 for a long time too. I made the the switch to the G7 and I'm really happy about it. It definetly feels familiar to the G4, I don't think you will miss anything. Software and Camera are great, too. The Google Assistant Button is something I use all the time, to set a timer or for a quick google search. Netflix and TH-cam are a pleasure to watch. I'd say "Go for it'"

    • @CreamPieSundays
      @CreamPieSundays 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      the v-line packs more features and you get more bang for your buck then the G-line tbh. During recording on the G7 you can't switch to wide angle like you can the v30, also on another note the v30 has a brighter and better screen then the g7. If you need a phone now get the v30 it has the same AI feature of the g7, if not wait for the V40.

      Yeah, the S9 is more narrow. And I may be a little bias (just went from an S7 to the G7) but I dont like the height of this screen. When I watch videos in landscape theres a decent size black chunk to the left or right of them!
      Also a variety of other little things I'm missing from my S7, but overall it's obviously an upgrade. Took the G7 mainly due to a promotion thing that made it a little cheaper than the S9. Also I don't really like that samsung is only doing curved screens now (even though OLED looks great imo)

    I bet the people who had bootloop issues and didnt get resolution won't forget, nor should they. Bootlooping in LG was a multi year multiphone issue that only got resolved because of a class action lawsuit. It wasn't like oh gee we messed up we are so sorry...

    It's a well rounded phone. A fine candidate to replace my htc 10. Has everything I want in a phone, great LCD and fine audio. But the problem beside notch, glass back and 3000 mAh is that 10 is still strong, totally fine and 2019 phones with faster RAM, memory, 5g and 7nm processor are just around the corner....
    PS. The best thing about G7 is that most called it boring. Trust me, when elitists call one phone boring, go straight for it. It means it does everything right. I hesitated for htc 10 in 2016, it got same etiquette, but the phone turned to be perfect in every single way and totally better than the best review of it. Lesson learned.

      @@weltvonalex I was never buying all the htcs bcs of camera:) on the contrary, I enjoyed them in everything else that disappeared. Now you have empty cold, IP68 htc phones with awesome camera and squeezing function that noone cares for. Everything else that I loved is gone. No, audio is for me what camera is for most. Camera is the least important for me, and every single, even the worst flagship camera is more than good enough for me. Phone cameras are so over hyped and every single is flawed objectively in some aspect. Cameras and glass destroyed smartphones.

  • @zuhayrdalwai1107
    @zuhayrdalwai1107 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The previous phone I owned was an LG G3. While this phone is a lot older than the G7, at the time it was a flagship, and LG were just starting to come up in the smartphone game. I decided to go for it, as I was really impressed by the features and the price it went for that the time. I also really liked the design. The phone was great in every respect, always reliable as well as LG's intuitive nifty features they embed in their software (only LG users will know what I'm talking about). However, after just over a year of use (I'd say about a year and four months), I started experiencing problems with it. Every now and again, the phone would just start to reboot randomly. After this, things started going downhill for my device. Reboots increased and battery came to a point where I needed to carry a powerbank with me at all times because my battery was dying down so quick. The battery eventually started to sell, and I had to buy a new battery. This fixed the problem temporarily, but after about a month, the problems slowly but surely started again. My device would restart at anytime, including during important phonecalls and when I needed it. It all came to a stop one day when the phone eventually stopped going on at all. I changed the battery, but nothing, and it hasn't been on since. This was really upsetting because I had lost all my Data that was on that phone Including pics, contacts etc. Apparently it was a common problem on the G3, and for this reason I am highly reluctant to take another LG device. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Or have LG sorted out their issues? Please do let me know 👍

      I don't know what version of G7 you have, but mine (with screen on) only lasts 6 hours and 45 minutes (or less), for me it's weak and i think it's fault of Android Oreo (and the 3000 maH battery), other phones like the p20 pro, gave 8 hours or so of screen on.

    I had a note 8 and switched to this phone. I love having a properly placed fingerprint scanner again. DAC is my favorite feature of the new phone. Makes a noticeable difference with decent headphones. Speaker is really good and loud when you crank it up. Putting it on a table makes it even louder but is rarely going to give a good viewing angle... If they had a second speaker this would really stand out. Although the battery life is ok I would have preferred they go a little thicker and give a little larger battery. I do worry about how battery life will be a year or two later and would have liked the extra buffer. LG's promo right now for $100 of free accessories let me get a case and screen protector and basically avoid that cost with a new phone. Overall, I am a week in and very happy with the new phone.

    I never wanted to dish out $800-$1000 for a new one. This phone is half that price $399 and it's performance is better than what I have now. I don't play very many games on my phone anynore, so I will get the zero lemon for this from Asia, max out the storage again and I think I'll be good for another 3 to 4 years.

    I've read tons of reviews only to find that there really isn't much disparity from one flagship phone to the next. Yes there on some intricate details and features here and there and that is likely all that is needed to influence ones decision.
    For me personally it all came down to value. I had a offer from my provider where they were practically giving away the LG G7 ThinQ and that made it a no brainer to at least give it the 14-day trial. Needless to say I'm sold on the G7 and won't be looking back until upgrade time rolls around again. As long as the software and hardware components hold up I doubt I'll be having any qualms about my decision.
    At full price yes the G7 might not look the most attractive but at the heavy discount this phone is being offered at some providers at the moment, this phone packs a serious punch pound-for-pound!

    @root9065 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice video and agree with all your points. I own the V30S ThinQ launched this year in March. One little clarification about the ThinQ branding, is that it doesn't tie into the AI side of the camera, at all. ThinQ (known by its full name of LG Smart ThinQ) is a new approach to connectivity between LG devices, and home appliances. For example, there are washing machines, fridges, and TVs with the ThinQ technology baked in, which means you can control them with your smartphone. They are advertising their connectivity to other devices LG builds, but they are doing a very poor job at exposing any other markets outside their own to that aspect. There was some effort to raise awareness in that regard in Canada I believe, when LG was also offering a free 32 inch ThinQ TV to any customer who pre-ordered the G7 if my memory serves right. While the name ThinQ is questionable at best by western standards, you have to keep in mind the Korean culture and the fact that Koreans design things firstly for themselves, and then share them with the world. That is to say, they might use a name that makes a lot of sense in the Korean society/market (pronounced Sin-Q for them) but little sense on the western market, and not care about it that much. Samsung, is somewhat nonconformist to this (by choice) with names like "Galaxy" and "Note", in order to be accepted on the western market which worked wonders for them.

    No one can answer these questions I have. Hopefully you can. 1. Does it record 4k60fps video? 2. Do the microphones have concert mode like my V30 where it uses earpiece as mic when you are in very loud environments?

    I’m definitely getting this as an upgrade to my G5! I’m in no hurry since I also rock the V30 on Verizon! The V30 is worlds better than the S8 and Note 8. I have co-workers with those phones and they both have horrible looking screen burn-in! Lol, my V30 screen looks like I just pulled it out of the box and I’ve had it since November, I always go 100% brightness on my screen too!

    I bought my G7 instead the apple Xs becaise Xs would not work with my external DAC. The DAC chip used in the G7 is the same DAC used in McIntosh and $3500 Sennheiser headphone amplifiers.
