Bought a V30 last year, upgraded from an LG G Pro. LOVE their phones, the V30 is a beast. Love how they're innovating. Such an underrated product. Wish they'd advertise like Apple and Samsung.
@@harysviewty remember there are the normal consumers outside of TH-cam and reviews, they have the final say in which products live or die. That's where the term come from ' vote with your wallet'.
Yeah, I've had several LG phones over the years, G3, G4, V20 and now a V35. Liked all of them. Was really interested in the S10+ but found a great deal on the V35 that I couldn't pass up. Not impressed with the hand gestures thing though.
@@kingsamvisuals I like it so far. No problems with it. The v35 is the exact same dimensions as the v30 so the v30 cases fit it as well and there are lots of those.
G8 is the sleeper phone of the year. Camera is phenomenal.. Amazing display.. Quad dac... Super fast. How the hell is everyone dismissing this incredible phone?
Because marketing does matter which is sad. Honestly I wouldn't know that LG is still in bussiness if i haven't searched for phones with headphone jacks.
I've had the g6 and it was ok but after a while it was so butt. LG overprocesses their photos. At first the g6 had awful halos and artifacting on photos and they sent an update to try and fix it but it just makes every photo look like it was put through one of those painting filters, it was awful. The need to stop with these gimmicks like air gestures to try and stand out, and focus on perfecting the simple things that the other competitors have right. Apple has complete control and have the best phone on the market. Pixel 4 has the best photography camera and Samsung has the best all around performance with anything basically making it the iPhone of Android save for consistent updates. All these companies do pretty much everything right and to a degree of professionalism. Lg can do all the same things but not very well. like yeah it has the 855 but are my selfies on Snapchat gonna look as good as opposed to on an s10 or an iphone. It has air gestures to open apps and do simple actions even though I can just ask Google assistant to do it. The only saving grace besides 3d face ID, imo is the quad DAC, and it slaps hard. Lg should just calm down and market their phones better and not start with so many redundant gimmicks they call features, because it's clear the market doesn't care.
Watching from my LG V30 - still the best phone I've every used. Not a fan of ANY phone that has a notch on the screen, but have to admit the Dual Screen idea is unique and practical and cool. I'd probably have to wait until they get it a bit slimmer but yet another first brought to smartphones by LG. Another fantastic, entertaining and informative review. Keep up the great work
Agree with others about the headphone jack. The reason I still appreciate is two fold: 1. If i forget to charge my bluetooth headset, i can still listen to music 2. The wire has saved me a couple of times where the phone was dropped but the wire prevented a fall I do use bluetooth, but nice to know I have a backup when on a long flight overseas and don't have access to a charger..
I have been selling phones for for 4 years now. Love LG. I rarely have any issues with them and my customers love them. Major underdogs! Need to actually market in the USA.
I had the LG g7 for most of last year and really liked it, since November I've been giving the OnePlus 6t a spin and I really like it as well, the battery is crazy good, like wow good IMO, also the software is top notch, BUT, I'm not the biggest fan of the cameras on the 6t, I feel the g7's cameras are better, so that's why I can't wait for my LG g8 this week.✌🏼
He didn't mention the most important feature. Headphone jack confirmed! I've had the G2 - G6 & now I have the V40. I really like LG but might be getting the Note 10 if it has a headphone jack.
8:01 I don't know if it's the camera or the phone but the text on the screen scrolls on it's own kinda like a ghosting effect on the screen. What do you think? Overall in this video I've noticed many instances where the camera fails to handle fast motion video. Just hope the whole video was not captured using the cameras on the phone, I've got high hopes for it. 🤞
I noticed this as well, and it actually seemed to happen when they were using their production equipment. I wonder if they had issues compiling the clips together with the G8 footage, which could be possible if they did not set it to record in the correct format. That is my guess
Bro me to! lg1 g2 g4 and v30 right now i will uprage by December for one of these two. I had issues with my lg4 with the memory card reader it was always saying the memory card was ejected but got it fixed by the warranty since then had no issues
Can you stop whining about it? Oreo is good enough... Be patient. You will get it. You only get 2 OS updates on any flagship. If you get them too soon...you will have nothing to look forward to..
If you turn off or disable the notch on either of these phone's, how is the TH-cam experience? If you pinch and zoom in on a TH-cam video while the notch is disabled when you have a full screen viewing?
Awww this is a 1 year old video and TH-cam finally recommended it to me today. Anyway, I just wanna mention about the dual screen phone. I know that thing get so heavy, the young man had to rest his hand on the table at 7:50. My LG stylo 3 Plus weight only 150 g. The duel screens phone weight around 190+ g.
Does the dual screen allow for a video or movie to spread out onto both screens ? That would be what I would love to use and have more entertainment choices on long trips.
Been a iPhone user since they came out then tried to switch to a Android smartphone for a change. Got the v20 when it first came out and man.. for the price and the quality and features u get of that phone was worth it. Sad that people ignore other brands bcs they're all caught up with the iPhone hype.
@@HalfBreedMix i plan on using my V20 for as long as possible my friends who got the S7 or iPhone 7 around the same time I got my phone have had to replace them because the batteries went to shit
The hovering hand gesture thing with the G8 is really cool technology and would be something I would play around with in a store but I don't see myself hovering my hand over my phone as if I'm trying to do a magic trick if I went and bought it. As for the V50, the only improvements over the V40 for those of us in the United States is a flat camera array on the back and the newest Snapdragon processor. Beyond that, it has the same screen, same audio and same camera specs as the V40.....in short, the V50 is a V40.1. I'm a fan of LG but the G8 has new features I can't see myself using the new features on the G8 when I can just press the screen and the V50 is a minor improvement over the V40 if you live in the USA.
I wonder if you could do split screen on both sides giving you a Quad Screen of 4 separate apps being utilized at the same time... Add the ability to flop open apps and you can do more than you can do.. I wasn't crazy about the look of the dual screen until I realized it was a case with a screen.. Now add a second battery OR solar power recharging window for the battery and maybe stereo speakers with a pen in different colors and your top dog. Good Work LG..
Did LG removed super bright mode (zero shutter lag) and replace it with handheld long exposure night view? Still no camera switch during video recording? Does 'dual fov fusion' help for better digital zoom? No more voice unlock?
I have definitely been an LG person I've had the LG g2 .. g3 ..g4 .. g5 and g6 I currently have the LG g7 thinQ I've also had the LG V10 and v30 but I'm thinking about getting ithe LG v50 thinQ 5G.. a good majority of my family and friends are Samsung Galaxy Stan's, but I've always been a ride or die LG kinda guy... and I'm happy to say that I've even got a few Samsung Galaxy people to switch over to LG.. And all of them say that they wish they would have switched to LG sooner.. Great video ❤️🙂
So if the DS case isn't available in the US. Can you still order it online? I figure you could. But it would cost alot more due to shipping and handling.
I always thought it was clever how they called it ThinQ, which could be pronounced Think, But also doubles as Thin Q (thin body) .Nobody ever adopted the Think way to say it
It's TOF camera seems like a perfect fit for smart displays that are in the kitchen, for example. Would be useful while washing dishes or cooking, since voice can't do everything quite yet. Great video, btw!
Been an LG fan since the EnVy days, and currently sporting my V30 while waiting for the V50's release on T-Mo. It's a shame that the "secondary" screen attachment won't be offered stateside (for now), if it was I'm sure it would be a major hit.
Yes I am getting the V50, however, somebody beat LG up in getting that second screen case in the USA, it is a must to have for the phone I want it, everybody is going to want it, definitely will make the phone complete, a must to have, check out digital trends at the MWC.

One of the best damn tech reviewers . Great job, bro! I just think the whole hand gestures are gimmicky.
yeah, the red one is very nice. i was tempted to buy it but i opt for the black one just because the cameras blends in nicely with the black.

The hands free motion control is awesome when you're working in the kitchen. Who doesn't watch TH-cam while cooking or doing dishes?
Thanks for showing LG some love.
I wish that case work for all android flagships via usbc.
It is more practical and far cheaper than a foldable phone.
Thank you for that great review just being so simple and not so negative about the branding and the phone...
Of the 2 the V50 and that case has my attention. I used the hell out of my V20 and I still use it via wifi as I've upgraded to a Note 9
I wish they gave the v50 an ir blaster.

Wonder if they are using same dac and amp or not. or is whole new chipset.
Loving this phone pre-ordered it already to replace my LG g6. I still don't like the notch on the LG G8 though.
I felt that way but really with no speaker in the notch, it seems to bother me less than I thought it would.
LG does a great job in allowing you to hide the notch. My V50 is a beast.
Does it has an edge to edge screen just like samsung flagship phones?
In my personal opinion, I prefer the V50... camera features and the dual screen case is more useful rather than hand gesture in G8. Cheers....

Always proud of you LG 👍👍👍. I am V30+ user btw.

Good idea to show them together. 👍
Lg v50 or g8 please help me to choose please
I think ima get the g8 I have the V30 I would have gotten the V50 if that case was available in the US
Is the battery sufficient for the g8 and if you use the dual screen does it kill the 4000 battery on the v50 thinq 5G?
G8 has a 3500 mah battery I think. A hefty upgrade over the g7. That is my only complaint about my g7.
I’m so pissed that we can’t get the dual screen.
Lg g8x
there should be one more screen in the front also
Do we have a price on the LG V50 yet?
That case is badass!
I don't understand why the dual screen case won't come to the U.S.!
Because it's a Korean company...not American. Why would they?
it looks like the phone was using frame interpolation while recording this footage.
Subscribed because I'm an LG fan..
But didn't they just drop the V40 ?
I wouldn't give up my Galaxy S10, but my brother has the previous ThinQ and it's a pretty fantastic phone.

im on the V20 too and considering a V50 once the price drops on them or a G8 tbh
Of course the year after I buy the LG G7 ThinQ they release the G8 Dx
If only LG get rid of the notch then maybe that would be my next phone, for now I’m rocking the V30 plus and it still banging
