4:24 *you know i had to do it to em* and isn't the back of the phone gorrilla glass 5? that can't even be scratched with a razor blade so i think those micro scratches you were talking about can be wiped off.
TechAltar ! I'm an audiophile and I use headphones. Please, can you tell me is there any difference in the headphone jack audio outputs of LG G7 and LG V30?
Matthew Jardine Watching this on the LG G7 ThinQ!!! This phone is amazing!!! Definitely worth it over the Galaxy S9!!! I had see man reviews and I was skeptical because most reviewers gave it an "ok", but I'm glad I bought it through T-Mobile's BOGO deal! The raspberry rose color looks amazing! Everything about this phone is a step up from the G6. Even battery life! Which is why I wish they would've left the battery at 3,300mAh. But I'm sure it was a design compromise to make the INCOMPARABLE SOUND of the BOOMBOX speaker come to life!!! For once I feel like a have a PREMIUM quality phone since the G4!!! Great job LG!!! And ThinQ (lol) Marton for this review!!! 😍😍😍
I hate OLED. Wears out fast and usually comes with a built in tint :) if it doesn't, 4 months of heavy use will do. I see this on every Samsung or whatever OLED device. LCD is so much more durable, basically doesn't wear out ever.
I do not really understand why anyone would want glass on the back of their phone. For me, a phone should be able able to handle a few toss across the table or room without concerning me; metal over glass anyday
Akash K Hazarika Wireless charging. Which I don’t use personally and yeh I’m of the same opinion about glass. Their still so relatively fragile for me.
SonicSP And i can confirm that. I have tossed my S5 many times with removable plastic back and no cracks,scratches etc. If I had to choose between Plastic and Glass I would choose Plastic.
Unfortunately LG is as always: they release good smartphones but not the best ones so these smartphones become part of the huge amount of smartphones out there
David you can't really point out a '' best'' in today's smartphone market. Every phone satisfies different things. You want fast updates-pixel. You want the ecosystem - iphone. You want price/performance - oneplus. You want bloat-Samsung(ok, I'm sorry, i couldn't help myself. But yea, Samsung is good if you need high budget android with a headphone jack). You can basically never go wrong with any of these phones. Whether it translates to sales, is the company's worry. No. Of products sold never say anything about the quality.
Kakashi Hatake I understand your point, but I'm talking about the LG smartphones, lately these ones do not stand out and become just another model of the huge amount available, of course in the smartphone market there's a kind of specialization as you said, some smartphones offer design, other battery life and so on and others just become cheaper and cheaper due to a little of people want to buy them like this one (of course if we consider other smartphones)
How do i say this. LG is just not a cool brand. Samsung would have been equally uncool as LG, i mean their name Samsung sounds horrible but they have a massive marketing campaign ever since the Galaxy S2. So through spending a shit ton of money they managed to be perceived as somewhat cool.
Agree with BTICronox here. In my opinion LG is the best of the standard phones. It is not shit, but at the same time it is not oversaturated with features (although the notch and the AI camera is the exception, however they can be hidden). Also, LG over Samsung's bixby.
Yeah...a really good job... I got to totally agree about glass backed phones it makes no sense at all. I thought Nokia did it best back in the day with the polycarbonate that didn't show scratches because the color was all the way through the material... And I'm waiting on that Nokia 7 plus review.. I've gone down and played with it a couple of times at the store and I would say the only thing that kind of bugs me is the external speaker.
jonah travisano I've Heard that there are many "little issues" around that Nokia. Specially when you are about to buy a 400$ phone you expect to have better quality in many ways. If you are a Spanish speaking person you can check Deivid Morganson's review
i also saw a lot of complaints about nokia software... video and audio getting out of sync and another thing that bothers me is that the n7 plus has a huge battery but doesn't perform as well as expected. the xa2 ultra lasts longer with a smaller screen and they both have an soc from the same gen and the same screen size
I honestly don't see how glass backs are a big deal at all. Plastic phones feel cheap and I honestly can't stand having a $800 plastic device. Doesn't feel premium at all. As you can see in my other comments on this video, I've had a G6 that was beaten up to hell. Constantly dropped it on concrete and hardwood floors while holding it, constantly slipped out of my pockets while sitting down and slammed almost everyday into the ceramic floor of my kitchen when i sat down to eat. That never cracked it. What cracked it (and we're talking about a very minor crack that can only be seen in bright light at a certain angle) was when i fell from my board while speeding down the street and the phone went flying out of my pockets, slammed on the street full of pebbles and knocked into the sidewalk across the street. That was a pretty brutal fall and it barely had any noticeable damage. I just put a skin on it and it was like brand new. Now i have the G7 and with all the "ThinQ" and LG branding on the back, i feel like it's almost mandatory to skin this phone. The skin protects the glass back and absorbs the shocks so it's even safer. This really is not a big deal in any circumstances in my opinion. If you're going to crack the back of this phone, you're going to crack the screen of a plastic/aluminium phone anyway.
Hey Márton, about the G6, I've just received my Oreo update on mine yesterday so they are in fact starting to distribute the software update the G6 deserves. Great video as always, keep up the good work, greetings from Hungary :)
I was looking for a new smartphone that could last me for 2+ years. During my research, somehow I found about G7, and to my surprise, it is a very good flagship at a very low price!. So far your review is the best I've seen from this phone, thinking of picking it during black friday.
I just don’t get why mobile phone companies absolutely go for phones with glass shells. They make them stronger than normal glass, but it’s still glass. I don’t mind a phone with aluminium backs if it’s better and more protective.
Multiscan 0001 Wireless charging and gives more colors to a phone. Also absorbs shocks better and scratches. If u use knife on metal phone it will scratch but u can try however much u want on glass on phones and it won't
The phone isn't any less stronger than a phone that's completely aluminum. Glass is way more rigid than you would assume. Maybe not "shatter proof" but the glass is also as much of a structural benefit (if not MORE) than just aluminum (which is a soft metal and does bend and dents easily).
Man you are seriously underrated, and I mean subscriber wise. Can't wait for you to get the subs you deserve, let's get this guy to a mil subs!! Hurry!!!
In case if anyone's asking, the speaker is louder when placed in the table, because LG has made the space between the frame of the motherboard, and the glass back a 'resonance' chamber which echoes the sound of the speaker to vibrate the back glass and hence vibrate any solid surface you lay it on, hence enhancing the loudness of its audio.
I just ordered an used one out of ebay for 109$. I love lg phones cause they give you the whole flagship experience for a lower price, Even lower if second hand. In a year from now maybe we will find an used v60 for 250$ or so.
@@adrenalineyt5305 it does take longer these days... l sent mine back 'cause it is the Verizon version and it is basically useless as a phone outside the house, it was refused at the china shop and came back to Japan where I live more than 5 months later!!! ...so I am not sending it back there again! If you are living in the US and are interested in the LG G7 Thinq... pls...
I just checked and indeed I did not have it enabled, I feel bad about blaming this on youtube. I have found that creators take this very seriously.I am sincerely sorry for the false alarm I have it enable now so this wont be a problem anymore, again sincere apologies!
Good review but.. Remember in the yesteryears when you reviewed a Sony phone? I was blown away by the production of the video and that gorgeous location in Hungary, the autumn season. I hope your next review will incorporate that kind of video direction
Your review is also as amazing as the phone... Excellent... Clear and crisp ; Frank and honest and Precise, yet, very comprehensive... Thank you and good luck...
i liked your review. you are not in a rat race, just to negate a phone coz everybody is doing so, you were practical in your analysis. i think only weak point of lg g7 is its battery. if it was 3500mah then everybody would have been talking abt this ph. camera is not as good as competition, but not at all a bad camera. otherwise lg has tick marked all the plus aspects of a cell ph on g7.
I really used to like LG, and this is actually a solid offering, but on amazon the S9 goes for 560€. That is an amazing phone at an amazing price. Consider that people would like 9/10 times great auto photos rather than perfect manual mode photos for example. I mean the S9 is the best all arounder and scores amazingly in the most important aspects that a smartphone has. I think that people nowadays buy Oneplus or Huawei as a (unjustifiable) sign of rebellion against Samsung, because the reality is that they cost more,the same or just a little less but definitely are not on as good as the S9
I just got it. I replaced my Galaxy s7 with the g7. As you said in the video, it is cheaper now it has been out for a while. So far I absolutely love it. It has all the things that matter to me most. Great sound, decent internal storage and is water resistant. Far as cameras go they work plenty good enough for me. I have a minimal gel case on mine so it does not slip. Out of your hand very easily. I don't cary an unprotected phone with me. For the money, you can't beat it,
I'm thinking about buying it...How does the battery hold up? I tend to be on my phone quite a lot so I hope the battery would last till the end of the day.. Your experiences?
I'm definitely looking forward to getting this phone, but like you said "in a couple of months when the price drops"... I do love media and this does check the boxes in that department ✌🏼
I really love your video man, as someone in the comments here said, you have the best review about G7, and finally someone that does the video of the G7 without that damn stupid notch that i hate so much, i am a G6 user and love my phone so bad, G7 i was waiting for it, the phone looks awesome i just hate that damn notch so bad sigh.... Thanks for the video i will think hard to get the g7 or maybe i will wait for the V35....
Just got Oreo on my G6, June 2018 in the US on Sprint. So far not much different an 7.0 in normal use. Comes with a security update as well. LG phones in general are the ones to buy after they have been out for awhile and aren't selling. G7 looks like the perfect replacement for the G6. Better audio and they kept the wide angle camera.
Nice new logo there, although the A in TA is actually more reminiscent to the Greek letter Δ (Delta) Good thing not that many people speak modern or ancient Greek nowadays. Great review too!
Verizon got the update, Sprint is getting it now. Unlocked version us997 has not received the Oreo update yet. Considering Oreo was released August 2017 that is pretty terrible Android support.
About time too. Nearly a year after it started rolling out. The G6 will be my last LG phone. Going to Google or maybe Huawei - although not sure if Huawei is much better than LG with updates.
@@Oozywolf updates are a bit ridiculous but it's not worth ditching a phone over, but yeah it might be worth a Huawei mate 20 varient or a OnePlus tho I wouldn't recommend Google (so overpriced now, Google is probably still one of my favourite companies but the price for their phone isn't justifiable imo)
I got the phone. LCD panel is very vibrant good blacks but can see glow in low light. battery is much better than any of my old Samsung's or sonys. I love this phone!
Great review - thanks. I once had a G4 and the camera was really great (especially before a software update removed the ability to launch directly into manual mode...). It seems that LG kind of went backwards a bit in terms of camera sensor size after that....prioritising other elements of the camera experience and the phone dimensions. The G5 definitely had a smaller sensor, and a friend of mine went from G4 to G6 and assured me his G4 took much better photos! Not sure why all manufacturers seem to be obsessed with making phones as thin as possible.... Bring back chunky phones and max out the sensor sizes (I'm thinking Lumia 1020 and Nokia 808...)!!
Nice review, I would consider it if it had a bit bigger battery capacity, the small battery capacity will cause trouble after a year when the capacity starts to fade
Very good review. As an LG user (Currently G5) I find myself drawn to their phones even when I believe their are better products (Pixel) available. This phone seems a good attempt, but I believe LG would be better served adding OLED and dropping the V series. It would consolidate their rather small cell phone sales under a single product. And I think premium phone sales are about to flat-line since flagships have become so high end.
very good review right on the main pros and cons. I have seen many reviews on G7 and this review is very good. You could make the video to be better understandable.
I really think you need just a bit of animation in your intro. Just a touch of motion could do wonders I think. The lifelessness of your new intro is the only thing which makes me prefer the old one. Thanks for the video, I'm always excited to see stuff from you!
Greatvreview btw...There are so many video samples now comparing the camera to others and for video unfortunately the colors are intolerable imo as an example if you look at videos of an ocean where it is naturally green the LG displays it as blue or teal which is horrible and that alone is a deal breaker otherwise I'd buy this phone...how can they screw up the colors so much is beyond me..
Just picked it up for €400 from Germany. My LG G5 died at the weekend. It looks like 3 years is the lifespan of a phone. Love the interface of lg. Hopefully the g7 will be just as good.
I have to agree with you regarding the glass build on this device. This is something I did not like about the LG v30 which I found to be very fragile considering it was marketed as being a durable phone. I've always found it strange that companies build beautiful devices with amazing color and finishes yet they're so fragile you have to cover them up with an ugly case right away to be able to use them in the real world. Other than that I really like the LG G7 because it's a niche device that's not so common and I for one do you use the wide-angle lens and love listening to music with headphones on it
You really don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate the remarkable improvement the ESS DAC provides in audio quality over any other smartphone. Plus the haptics on this phone are incredible and the wide angle camera is a really nifty addition.
Hi there. I do have a question if you could help? I switched from a G4 that I loved to a Galaxy S8 (with a Banggood special inbetween!). I miss my G4 as it was brilliant, looked and felt great but it just can't keep up with today's performance, and I'm not really a fan of my S8. Do you think that the G7 would be a step forward or step back from my S8? Thanks!
I have nothing against notches, but I really like the look here with the notch blacked out. Looks like the clock etc is outside the actual display. IF it had been a proper AMOLED that is :P
I like everything about the LG G7, just like the S9. To me these are the two perfect complete phone. I'm still using the V20, waiting for the G7 to drop so I can upgrade.
I swear manufacturers are in the business of trying to nix every feature I prefer in phones. The IR blasters are gone, the metal bodies are gone, most phones don't have front facing speakers, the removable backs are gone. There's not much left on new smart phones I love.
Why the LG G7 is showing scratches on the screen or back? It's supposed to have Gorilla Glass on both sides (scratch resistant). Is there a flaw on the material?
I think in 2018, you can't really go wrong with a phone. You can buy basically any phone, and be happy with it as long as it works. I suggest a mid range flagship spec-d phone, like the OP6 or this one, when the price comes down. Good times to be a smartphone buyer. Bad times for tech enthusiasts though, with the lack of innovation in the industry, but then again, smartphones have pretty mucj reached their limit in bringing new stuff on the table without lookong gimmicky.
After having a very bad experience with my G4 only a year and a half in I changed my stance on LG phone drastically. The phone didn't receive updates including security patches,and it seemed like my phone was hacked for some reason, my app lock got a lot of random triggers for my banking app(which was in a folder so it wasn't an accidental click) and when I saw this I also locked WhatApp and observed the phenomena for a little bit after determining it was highly suspicious and the apps that got triggerd were ones with value in them I factory reset the phone and started looking into options for rooting it. After doing research for about a week I determined that it can not be done since the boot loader unlock tool didn't work for my variant of the phone and community made tools were also unavailable because there was an official tool that covered 90+% of the phones on the market... I tried mailing or calling LG and all I got was either a no or automatic messages. (and yes the problem did return after a day on me using the phone for 2-3 days a lot of seemingly random triggers to "apps of value" in this case only WhatsApp since I didn't install anything important) I bought a new phone and haven't looked back since...
I had couple of LG phones and now I considering to switch to Samsung. It is not my favorite brand, but when Samsung get rid of physical home button Galaxy phones become appealing for me. I am just not sure if I am ready to spend ~800E for S9+
I'm long time G6 user and fan of your channel so I know you stopped using LG and went for Nokia instead. May I ask why? My G6 got white spots on the display so I sent it to service under warranty and pray they'll just give me money back instead of replacement unit. In that case I'm thinking about getting G7 which can be found for under 350€ in my country and for that price it's basically competing with Poco which is far worse phone. But if Nokia is better I might think about their phones as well.
Just purchased this phone, your video is excellent, now to what you hate...slippery...does anyone have a recommended cover/case for this phone that doesn't cover buttons? Thanks
Ok. If you find the slipperiness annoying, put a grippy case like silicone or rubber, or one with grips. But you may say, I love this colour so much. Get a transparent case! Problem solved, better phone

this is the ThinQ (LArge version of the G7). you think the "regular" sizes G7 will have better battery life?
cheers
I haven't heard of other versions of the G7. ThinQ isn't related to battery AFAIK, every flagship LG phone going forward will be ThinQ branded
4:24 *you know i had to do it to em*
and isn't the back of the phone gorrilla glass 5? that can't even be scratched with a razor blade so i think those micro scratches you were talking about can be wiped off.
Glass Harder to scratch will be easier to break.

Juanbagnell did a better more content rich review
Matthew Jardine 👍
Just saw an ad, for an LG TV, emphasising how important the deep blacks are in an OLED screen
… and then there's this G7 which uses LCD
Life's Good.
they said oled is reserved for the v line
they are people like more LCD and no burn in screens thank u ...g7 screen is better than p20 pro amoled screen...
I hate OLED. Wears out fast and usually comes with a built in tint :) if it doesn't, 4 months of heavy use will do. I see this on every Samsung or whatever OLED device. LCD is so much more durable, basically doesn't wear out ever.

SOOOO MANNY VIDEOS. IM SOO HYPED
I do not really understand why anyone would want glass on the back of their phone. For me, a phone should be able able to handle a few toss across the table or room without concerning me; metal over glass anyday
Qi charging... alternative to glass is plastic, what isn't great either.
Akash K Hazarika Wireless charging.
Which I don’t use personally and yeh I’m of the same opinion about glass. Their still so relatively fragile for me.
Metal phones are bad at absorbing shock if struck at an angle. They just pass on the shock onto the fragile parts
Frank Niethardt Plastic doesn’t break as easily.
SonicSP And i can confirm that. I have tossed my S5 many times with removable plastic back and no cracks,scratches etc. If I had to choose between Plastic and Glass I would choose Plastic.
Wide Angle camera is why I love LG phones.

do you think is really good for media consumption and the battery life is it good for day ? thanks dude in advance
Great review man. Wanna see it more often.
You have quickly become my fav reviewer.
Not mine
You really do great reviews, you should keep going!
I really love your video man, as someone in the comments here said, you have the best review about G7, and finally someone that does the video of the G7 without that damn stupid notch that i hate so much, i am a G6 user and love my phone so bad, G7 i was waiting for it, the phone looks awesome i just hate that damn notch so bad sigh.... Thanks for the video i will think hard to get the g7 or maybe i will wait for the V35....
Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card, FM Radio, Waterproofing, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes, great job LG.
Just got Oreo on my G6, June 2018 in the US on Sprint. So far not much different an 7.0 in normal use. Comes with a security update as well. LG phones in general are the ones to buy after they have been out for awhile and aren't selling. G7 looks like the perfect replacement for the G6. Better audio and they kept the wide angle camera.
Thank you so much so such a great review. I'm switching to G7 now. Excited to get G7 over G6❤
Honestly speaking u are the best Tech TH-camr in every angle..
I just got mine yesterday and I can tell you it's amazing. I can honestly recommend it to everyone.
Hey even i am planning on getting one but i am confused between g7 and v30+
Nice new logo there, although the A in TA is actually more reminiscent to the Greek letter Δ (Delta) Good thing not that many people speak modern or ancient Greek nowadays. Great review too!
The G6 got the Oreo update a few weeks ago. At least in North America.
Verizon got the update, Sprint is getting it now. Unlocked version us997 has not received the Oreo update yet. Considering Oreo was released August 2017 that is pretty terrible Android support.
About time too. Nearly a year after it started rolling out. The G6 will be my last LG phone. Going to Google or maybe Huawei - although not sure if Huawei is much better than LG with updates.
@@Oozywolf I recommend OnePlus
@@Oozywolf updates are a bit ridiculous but it's not worth ditching a phone over, but yeah it might be worth a Huawei mate 20 varient or a OnePlus tho I wouldn't recommend Google (so overpriced now, Google is probably still one of my favourite companies but the price for their phone isn't justifiable imo)
Great review 💪👍 I will give Lg a try again but can chose between lg g7 or lg v30? 🙄
I got the phone. LCD panel is very vibrant good blacks but can see glow in low light. battery is much better than any of my old Samsung's or sonys. I love this phone!
Great review - thanks. I once had a G4 and the camera was really great (especially before a software update removed the ability to launch directly into manual mode...). It seems that LG kind of went backwards a bit in terms of camera sensor size after that....prioritising other elements of the camera experience and the phone dimensions. The G5 definitely had a smaller sensor, and a friend of mine went from G4 to G6 and assured me his G4 took much better photos! Not sure why all manufacturers seem to be obsessed with making phones as thin as possible.... Bring back chunky phones and max out the sensor sizes (I'm thinking Lumia 1020 and Nokia 808...)!!
Tremendous review as always 👍
Thank you for a balanced review very good job.
You did the review of this that's means this has some serious potential
Nice review, I would consider it if it had a bit bigger battery capacity, the small battery capacity will cause trouble after a year when the capacity starts to fade
Danke sehr for covering the topics that I want to know about G7 before einkauf it
Thank you for the informative review. Quick question... Does the LG G7 front camera have a wide-angle mode like the G6?
Excellent review. Focusing on the essence.
I love this smartphone. Plenty of features , good specs n very smooth.
Saw this phone in person and the display is truly stunning
Hey, TechAltar - is the battery significantly better than it was on the G6?
Cheers.
Please do more reviews like this
Thanks for the review
Very good review. As an LG user (Currently G5) I find myself drawn to their phones even when I believe their are better products (Pixel) available. This phone seems a good attempt, but I believe LG would be better served adding OLED and dropping the V series. It would consolidate their rather small cell phone sales under a single product. And I think premium phone sales are about to flat-line since flagships have become so high end.
very good review right on the main pros and cons. I have seen many reviews on G7 and this review is very good. You could make the video to be better understandable.
hey whats the camera used to shoot ur video...its ridiculously amazing!!!!!
I really think you need just a bit of animation in your intro. Just a touch of motion could do wonders I think. The lifelessness of your new intro is the only thing which makes me prefer the old one. Thanks for the video, I'm always excited to see stuff from you!
I will animate it in a few weeks, just been too busy to do it :)
Greatvreview btw...There are so many video samples now comparing the camera to others and for video unfortunately the colors are intolerable imo as an example if you look at videos of an ocean where it is naturally green the LG displays it as blue or teal which is horrible and that alone is a deal breaker otherwise I'd buy this phone...how can they screw up the colors so much is beyond me..
Cool glasses! They fit you very well
Great video man!
Just picked it up for €400 from Germany. My LG G5 died at the weekend. It looks like 3 years is the lifespan of a phone. Love the interface of lg. Hopefully the g7 will be just as good.
Great review man. Sold me on it.
I have to agree with you regarding the glass build on this device. This is something I did not like about the LG v30 which I found to be very fragile considering it was marketed as being a durable phone. I've always found it strange that companies build beautiful devices with amazing color and finishes yet they're so fragile you have to cover them up with an ugly case right away to be able to use them in the real world. Other than that I really like the LG G7 because it's a niche device that's not so common and I for one do you use the wide-angle lens and love listening to music with headphones on it
I loved the buttons in the back from the LG G4... As well as its curved screen :)
Watching this video on my LG G4
You really don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate the remarkable improvement the ESS DAC provides in audio quality over any other smartphone. Plus the haptics on this phone are incredible and the wide angle camera is a really nifty addition.
what did the polite customer ask the worker at the mobile store?
I'll have an lg-g7 thinQ very much
Eagerly waiting for your Nokia 7 Plus review as I myself own one 🤗
Hi there. I do have a question if you could help? I switched from a G4 that I loved to a Galaxy S8 (with a Banggood special inbetween!).
I miss my G4 as it was brilliant, looked and felt great but it just can't keep up with today's performance, and I'm not really a fan of my S8. Do you think that the G7 would be a step forward or step back from my S8? Thanks!
Good job bro!!!!! Love it always
I have nothing against notches, but I really like the look here with the notch blacked out. Looks like the clock etc is outside the actual display. IF it had been a proper AMOLED that is :P
That always on screen is a must have
Does it have the Cine Video on Camera like the V30?
Can you make a video and compare the LG G7 AND LG G7 ONE. Whats the diffrence and which is much better between the two phones. Thanks! 👍🙂😎👊✌️
Just bought this phone for my dad. Its a absolute steal for the price. This thing costed me 100 bucks and it basically holds up to a s9/iphone 11
So do you use the G7 or the Nokia seven plus as your daily driver?
I like everything about the LG G7, just like the S9. To me these are the two perfect complete phone. I'm still using the V20, waiting for the G7 to drop so I can upgrade.
I swear manufacturers are in the business of trying to nix every feature I prefer in phones. The IR blasters are gone, the metal bodies are gone, most phones don't have front facing speakers, the removable backs are gone. There's not much left on new smart phones I love.
Great review!
Why the LG G7 is showing scratches on the screen or back? It's supposed to have Gorilla Glass on both sides (scratch resistant). Is there a flaw on the material?
I think in 2018, you can't really go wrong with a phone. You can buy basically any phone, and be happy with it as long as it works. I suggest a mid range flagship spec-d phone, like the OP6 or this one, when the price comes down. Good times to be a smartphone buyer. Bad times for tech enthusiasts though, with the lack of innovation in the industry, but then again, smartphones have pretty mucj reached their limit in bringing new stuff on the table without lookong gimmicky.
I'm feeling the new look.
I REALLY want to buy this phone, but the lack of software updates holds me back. Please fix this LG!!!
I’m think long about upgrading my iPhone 6s to the LG G7 you think I should
After having a very bad experience with my G4 only a year and a half in I changed my stance on LG phone drastically.
The phone didn't receive updates including security patches,and it seemed like my phone was hacked for some reason, my app lock got a lot of random triggers for my banking app(which was in a folder so it wasn't an accidental click) and when I saw this I also locked WhatApp and observed the phenomena for a little bit after determining it was highly suspicious and the apps that got triggerd were ones with value in them I factory reset the phone and started looking into options for rooting it.
After doing research for about a week I determined that it can not be done since the boot loader unlock tool didn't work for my variant of the phone and community made tools were also unavailable because there was an official tool that covered 90+% of the phones on the market...
I tried mailing or calling LG and all I got was either a no or automatic messages.
(and yes the problem did return after a day on me using the phone for 2-3 days a lot of seemingly random triggers to "apps of value" in this case only WhatsApp since I didn't install anything important)
I bought a new phone and haven't looked back since...
Now that's what I call a good review!
6:42 but consider that most people would have a phone case...
I had couple of LG phones and now I considering to switch to Samsung. It is not my favorite brand, but when Samsung get rid of physical home button Galaxy phones become appealing for me. I am just not sure if I am ready to spend ~800E for S9+
I'm long time G6 user and fan of your channel so I know you stopped using LG and went for Nokia instead. May I ask why? My G6 got white spots on the display so I sent it to service under warranty and pray they'll just give me money back instead of replacement unit. In that case I'm thinking about getting G7 which can be found for under 350€ in my country and for that price it's basically competing with Poco which is far worse phone. But if Nokia is better I might think about their phones as well.
Just purchased this phone, your video is excellent, now to what you hate...slippery...does anyone have a recommended cover/case for this phone that doesn't cover buttons? Thanks
Ok. If you find the slipperiness annoying, put a grippy case like silicone or rubber, or one with grips. But you may say, I love this colour so much. Get a transparent case! Problem solved, better phone
Can't wait to see your thought on Nokia 7 Plus.
Great to hear that.
The only time when I felt that LG has the top of the market smartphone for at least a short time it was when they released the LG G2.
With LCD, screen on time includes the always on display, so battery life is around iPhone 6s level (not plus).
No they don't
Great review.
holy shit i could actually hear the low end when the phone was placed on the ground. Very impressive speaker, this phone has.
Should i get the g7 or should i go for v30 now...i am planning to get either of them
