Honestly G8 was much louder and clearer. Thanks to the boom sound when u put it on a flat surface. It uses it as sound amplifier. G8 sounds better defiantly.
Lol some lady on Facebook was selling her Pixel 3a xl for $150. I was close to getting this lg g8 man. But the better deal won out for me. But that LG G8 and v40 spec wise tops that damn 3a xl lol.

This is a tough decision. Sure that for the US variant of the G8, you only get a dual camera setup. But the South Korean variant of the G8 has exactly the same triple camera setup and sensor module as the V50 5G, and the V50 5G cameras are exactly the same one as in the V40. Pros of the V40: - 6.4" - Dual selfie camera with two different focal length - Meridian Audio Pros of the G8: - Snapdragon 855 - USB On-The-Go - Slightly bigger battery - Faster wired fast charging rate
V50 have 4000mah battery with sd855 7nm and stereo Speakers lite Version))). The Battery life of v50 are a Huge improvement for me. And sd855 are 40% faster than 845. sd865 are nothing for a Update.

Decisions, Decisions lol. I'm finally getting rid of my Note 4 (Which I still love). I'm still stuck in between these two. G8 is $299 and V40 is $249. Which one would you pick?
V 40 is better than most anything even out now... It's higher res higher ppi than S10 and note 10...it's more durable, lighter louder with quad DAC with better quality.. Pro modes for camera and video... Mil spec ip 68
Hey I love your videos I seen a comment where it said to change your videos up fcked them don't ever change up I like the way you always do comparing videos and update after 3 6 12 whatever months
Yeah they both have quad dac which is LG's signature feature for the phones. I'm still on the fence on which to get, whether v series, g series, v40 or v50 or wait until the v60 goes down, etc.
Check out swappa.com you can get great phones lightly used. For cheaper than 1k 👍 i was a bit worried about 1k+ phones as well especially since I'm a college student but there are some good prices now out there well below 1k😁
Nice job, this video was very helpful to me. Color accuracy is tricky being that there are several factors that can come in to play. For example, the lens, color science, sensor, white balance. Either way, people add those shitty filters onto their pics and vids, which as a cinematographer it's irritating to see a garbage filter try to emulate the work of an actual colorist. But hey, it is what it is.
I wanted to get the lg v40 thinq renewed but I found out it’s an at&t unlocked phone so now I’m considering the g8 what do you think I should do I need a second opinion

I really can't decide. Both are the same price right now. It's just so close to call. Lg G8 is more future proof, with "slightly" better cameras, and better battery life. But the V40 has dual front facing cameras, and a larger display. Hmmmm, it's too hard to call :( I guess if I plan on getting another phone next year anyways, longevity doesn't really matter too much. And I do consume A LOT of media (usually all I do on my phone is TH-cam, social media, and occasionally take a few photos). So in that regard, I guess the V40 is probably the better option for what I need in a phone....but, overall, I do think the G8 is the better overall of the two. It's just for what I use my phone for, I think the V40 is probably the better option, just wish it had the G8's battery life lol. If the V40 had the G8's battery, then the V40 would hands down be the option I choose. But, that's also because of what I use my phone for mostly,and the fact that I just need it to last me another year.
Two of the best devices that get overlooked by most people, I have the G8 & it's just Awesome! Best camera next to the Pixel line.
