I am getting my G7 ThinQ refurbished as it is still doing its job very well. I have had Samsung, HTC phones before, but with this phone i have the best experience i ever had with a smartphone. New screen and battery in and happy days.

@jdl9581 Жыл бұрын

The primary reason to consider this phone is as an affordable dedicated music player. The 32-bit quad DAC was and is phenomenal (beating out all current-gen phones that still have a headphone jack while going toe-to-toe with dedicated "audiophile" devices), the microsd slot insures you can fit a ton of high quality music files, and though the Android version (up to 10) is outdated, it'll remain compatible with music streaming apps via the Play Store for long into the future. Considering just how expensive dedicated android music players are (walkman, fiio, etc), the G7 (and other LG phones with the quad DAC) is a steal.

Really though, internet connectivity is optional most of the time. Most streaming services let you download songs while on wifi for offline listening - that’s where cheap microsd storage comes in :)

Thats exactly what I do with my old G7. I have a galaxy s23 now and I prefer to use my G7 when I go on runs for the music quality. Plus it wont huts as bad if I happen to drop it. And you can pick one up brand new for like $200 even now.

I have lg g7 One edition. It is getting updates from Google. It still has the boom design to use the case as a driver and the 32bit DAC. Nobody has these fidelity features on their current phones. Gonna cherish it for as long as I can. One edition has only one camera on front but it is a good one. One good lens with OIS is better than 3 mediocre cameras.

If you're thinking about buying a phone this old, then NO MANUFACTURER is updating the software, so to diss it for that reason is asinine! You should be to install a modified version of Android 13 available from a couple of different avenues, although I haven't checked. This is my backup phone, & I just replaced the battery in it today.

@Mikg-ks9xg 20 күн бұрын

@THX..1138 6 ай бұрын

The G7 can be had for $50 you cannot today buy a new phone with it's features for less than $400. It still in 2024 it's processor out performs all low end and most midrange phones. It's cameras are fantastic. The main camera has optical stabilization, it's actually 16mp (modern phone cameras claim 50mp+, but are more like 12mp), it shoots 4k 60fps, 1080p 60fps, 720p 240fps, it's waterproof, has NFC, has wireless charging. The build construction is very premium feeling and because of the all glass construction providing they aren't cracked G7s generally stay looking like new. Unlike OLED screens LCDs don't suffer screen burn so the screens look as good as the day they were made. You can root the phone and install Android 14 if you like and given the fast processer and 4gb of ram the G7 should be able to handle the next few versions of Android as well. I just ordered a Galaxy A14 5G to replace my G7 because the G7 lacks 5G and my version of G7 doesn't work with AT&T, but on almost every metric the G7 surpasses the Galaxy A14 G5. Because the resale value of the G7 is so low and it's cameras are so good I'll be keeping mine.

I just replaced the battery by myself today. It's really easy & pretty quick to do. If you're careful & watch a couple of videos first, you can even do so without cracking the back glass cover. I had already ordered a cover because I hadn't watched any videos first & deliberately cracked the glass to get it out of the way.

If I actually still used the device for something other than a running companion I would probably give it a try but I just got a Galaxy s23 for free from T-Mobile when I upgraded my plan. My bill only went up 10 bucks a month so I figured what the heck. And I love this s23.

Its so funny to see this. I love LG phone. I have been using my LGG5 all this time, but it stopped updated a few years ago, I was on Android 8 but didn't care. So it finally was dying, I switched to my moms she never used, but I never updated that lol so its on Android 7 Horrible I just get spam calls. So I searched all day today for an unlocked phone and I got a great deal on the Google Pixel 6 256gb for 420.00 on Amazon. Thats how I found your reviews today I was debating between the 7, 6, 6a and for my needs the 6 will be fine. Thank you for pointing out on your pixel 6 review that it has the Knock on screen. That was the main thing I love. I like the fingerprint on the back of the phone but oh well. Im trying to find the best case right now, the Otterbox doesn't have the plastic on screen like before so now i dont know what to get. Any suggestions from anyone please. I need a case and I would like a wireless charging pad that also can charge my reg devices at the same time. Thank you so much for your reviews. Its sad when a phone we love like LG stops making them. I have tendonitis in my hands so the LG was perfect with no physical buttons, plus fingerprint turn on and knock knock screen. Because of your awesome review just now of the beginning for pixel 6 everything I did on LG I can do here so yeah :).

what about the practicality of buying this phone if the person i'm buying it for has very little need for it. he uses a flip phone and all he does is text and call which is limited to only 6contacts AND NOTHING ELSE. i'm talking BASIC basic use. the main reason i'm even getting this phone is the price($80) to use as a "pay as you go" for t-mobile. no music, no internet, not even any need for any apps,,,except maybe a speed dial app, and the basic stuff on any phone, like calendar, or note taking
