LG G7 + Dual speakers + bigger battery + OLED display = LG V40?

I like your reviews a lot, because, they are always crisp and precise... Frank and honest... Your clean and clear voice adds the real flavor to the video... Thank you and good luck...

I never expected this kind of design with like lg brand

I rock LG Phones since 2013 and never regret it. Great Phones.

I had the G6 and one thing I could never stand was the UI. I'm sorry it just straight up sucks. I like this phone but if I can get more RAM and almost stock Android from OnePlus for a cheaper price I'll go that route. LG needs a wow factor to stand out from other companies

I'm going to plumb for a G7, in the UK its £270 ($360) cheaper than the S9. Makes it a steal in my book!

Don't undersell the Quad DAC. It might take high impedance headphones to truly appreciate but it powered even my crappy backup headphones better than any phone I've ever used (and this is coming after using the HTC 10 - I use an LG V30: Same DAC). Also I can't go back to bluetooth in the car, the difference is noticeable and really good.

Great video. Nice music and effects! Thx:)

I got the lg g7 a couple of weeks ago. Couldn’t be happier with it. Coming from original iPhone X and Samsung phones.

I'm using it since three days, and for me is just perfect. The quad dac delivers really gread sound on the headphones. Best choice for people who listen lot of music!

The one and only Jaime rivera!!! I love your reviews!

Pictures came out amazing!

The beginning looks like my ikea gaming desk video! That’s cool 😁😁

Great review. Can you guys do camera comparison against other phones.

Lg phones are great. Still rocking a v20. But they should be innovative like they were with v20.

I dont know why LG has lessen the FOV of the wide angled camera. 🙄 if it is about distortion then you can use the main camera. or atleast include super wide angle option on the wide angle camera, like the front camera on the v20 which crops the wide angle to make it more natural FOV.

Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card, FM Radio, Waterproofing, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes, great job LG.

I JUST got a V20 Friday. And man I love this phone. And get this. I got supposedly a refurbished one, but it looked brand new to me. But here's the thing. I got it for 162.00 from Amazon.. what a steal! I was able to shoot my daughter's graduation that night. It turned out great. I need o than you guys. You had some of the best coverage on the phone out. I knew exactly what to expect from the camera well before I even had it. There's plenty on Amazon for 200 and quite a few unlocked for less even. I saw one today for 158.00 that's got to be the best deal on a phone out right now. Thanks for the great vids about this phone. You guy's ROCK!

i m using g6 n its an awesm experience..sir looking forward to this g7

The phone looks great!

4:50 The face you be making when you know you about to get some puhhh!!!!

Lg g9 brings magnetic atrachments, no notch and a bottom sticker tape OLED screens. The attachments include: extended battery with wireless charging, 360 camera, a one inch sensor point and shoot camera, and a micro 4\3rd mount for interchangeable lenses, XLR deck, shotgun mic, bose speakers, VR ar engine.

Just wonder that boom box thingy, does it still work properly with a case on, especially some thicker ones?

@ the moment I own a contract with the LG G5 (I had a two year deal with it) well I like the LG look and like the way it is to be used, I will be getting the LG G7 ThinQ, everything that peoples are saying that the LG G7 is bad about, and isn't the best at, are just nit pickers, To me it is like turning down food when you are hungry, The LG G7 seems a brilliant phone to own

Great review. Lg is always to bring things first and make road for others to make money. Probly falling short on making money of their innovations. There is very famous proverb in India for this " The things are not sold well where they are grown". I am waiting for it arrive here in India. I am eager to see it early.

I'm just happy they stop using last years chips set. Like in the past. I think they did this to stream line everything. To set up the V40. I think they go all out with it.

Underrated phone of 2018 😍

Has to be 1 of the BEST REVIEWS you've ever done.

Jaime, would you recommend this over the Huawei P20 Pro?

Thanks for the eye candy Jaime 6:08

Know what I am glad to have experienced technology progress from phones like the 3310 through to today, at least we saw new and interesting features like colour screens, the N95 managing to run Quake 2 and other stuff unlike current times where the phone has some notch in it or its missing an audio jack, or they put a 3rd camera in, they all look the same to me and a loader can make an android phone look the same as any other.

Great video Jaime!

Hey I want to ask a question but it might be a stupid question coz I'm not an audio guy. I always hear '32 bit quad dac' but since we have 32 bit processor and 64 bit processor, does it also apply to audio? Do we have 64 bit quad dac?

How does it compare to V30? I'm most interested in the audio.

This dude has an iconic voice. I don't listen to pocket now unless Jaime Rivera is doing his thing. 😎

Time to change the name of this channel to “Jaime Rivera’s Tech Variant” - you are the only one making videos and keeping this channel alive.

Own the lg V30 and I hope LG won't disappear from the smartphone market. I got so used to the quad Dac I can't listen to my music on other smartphones. Never had any crashes. Still runs very smooth without any problems. I hope there will be still new LG smartphones with the Quad Dac, when my current V30 breaks.

Does the display have image retention like all of the phone's predecessors did?

Is the camera stabilization better on manual mode vs regular mode? The V20 and V30 have great cameras until I start walking. Stabilization is not good on both phones on either setting.

Can you recommend a good headphones to utilize the DAC feature in lg G7?

Good Review, Thanks.

I would absolutely get this phone. The Notch really bothers me, but I do appreciate and would definitely use the option to hide the notch as notches on phones are completely idiotic. My biggest problem however, is the price is just far to steep for what it's providing. $750 dollars provides you with a multitude of much more impressive smart devices. I'm going to see how the price on this fluctuates in the future then maybe consider jumping on it.

Coming from the G6 I wasn't expecting myself to like this phone as much as I do, not because the G6 is bad but I thought it would be a pretty iterative upgrade. This might even be my next phone 👀

i might get it if its the G8 ThickQ. need more battery. simple as that

6:01 whoa who's that beauty

Waiting for the LG G7 real Camera review!

Will the g7 eventually get digits embedded within the system?

Does anyone know then the lg g7 128gb with 6gb ram is going to be released?

Why do they compromise the camera modules on each android device i see? Why not do something like what Sony do? An equal megapixel and apperture for the front and rear? Why?.......

The notch is not an issue for me but i think it would be better if they use the v10/v20 style and use amoled for the second screen.

Can I just say that once this phone gets discounted (while like most LG products will be very soon) and if you can use a more stock-like launcher like Nova, then I really don't know why you would buy a OnePlus 6. Assuming you can tolerate the notch, this phone works on all 4 carriers and does most other things as well or better.

I really miss the IR blaster from the newest flagships, it can be so useful. :( Slowly I need to find the replacement for the G5, but maybe that's not my next phone, no innovation.

Does G7 have an option to lower screen resolution like Samsung?

How many gb is usable in the internal storage ?

They need a u/i just like when the s8 was release sammy brought new icons etc.

Your English is excellent, although I recognized the accent. My father immigrated as a child, learned English early, and had no detectable accent. His mother never lost her accent. When my dad visited Germany later in life, he quickly became fluent again in German. The locals in his home area said he had good German without accent!

I'll wait for the HTC U12+ review to make my decision between it, this or to wait for the Pixel 3.

Is it a better choice than a v30?

I would love to see android to be able to answer phone calls and stream music on hearing aids like the iPhone without an extra device then I would switch. What do you think?

Jaime: would you rather DD this or the OP6?

I have a natural affinity for lg products. This phone could woo me. But I wish they would adopt oled. That and sluggish updates will probably drive me into the arms of a pixel XL next time out.

I had the lg g2 for my first smartphone

They even technically had the first notched phones in the LG V10 and LG V20 technically speaking, before Essential and Apple. They even had the first all touch phone the prada before the iPhone, and curved oled before samsung on a smartphone, and with their google phones, we got face id, great camera tech, not to mention wide angle and quaddac pro amp. But the big two just copy and rifine them and get all of the credit.

I think LG lost it's way and is confused about offerings. Also suffering from chinese competition, but mostly confused about what it should offer. I remember the G line being a reasonably good phone for a fair price not that long ago. G4 was one of it's biggest successes if I'm not mistaken, had a fairly good price and specs for the time, and all that. Huge success in emerging markets at least, if I'm getting the model right - not sure. For some reason, LG started ramping up the price in more recent generations, and chinese manufacturers started encroaching and getting ground. For at least the past couple of generations LG G series sounds like an upper middleground no one is asking for. It's priced at a premium, it doesn't have much to offer over the competition, and still has lower specs than the inevitable V series. The G6 at least had a weird tall screen that was the most memorable thing about it... this one seems to have nothing to differentiate itself. I like the idea of having a regular plus wide angle scheme for camera, but that doesn't count when stabilization and video is inferior. I commend LG for investing more in stuff like pro features for photo and video, plus audio which is something most other companies overlook, but it's always offerings with caveats. Like, you have all these extra manual controls on the V20 camera, but it seems auto mode is inferior to almost any other smartphone in the category. It has top of the line DACs for headphones, but the speakers are nothing to write home about. Almost all features feel that way... one step forwards, two backwards. Screen is gorgeous but it isn't OLED. There's some meek trend following that at most attends the basics. RAM is ok but other brands offer more. Android version is recent, but not the latest. They did something with AI, but not much. They did away with their second screen to follow the notch trend, so there's nothing special about it. The UI is fine for people who like it or are used to it, but for the most part it looks dated and offering nothing new. Last few enticing things about LG phones I remember all went away too. It was one of the last brands to offer a top of the line phone with removable battery. It was one of the few that used materials like leather and texturized backs. It was one of the last competitions to Samsung's Note line offering a stylus in one of it's phones. Now it's mostly meekly following trends, but not quite getting there. It's kinda sad. The death blow comes with the price. It wouldn't be a problem to offer a featureset like that with a modest price... 400 bucks, 500 bucks. But at close to 750, it makes zero sense. That's a price point that the market is expecting everything to be on par with the best, plus some very enticing extra feature. And LG is not only not offering any enticing extra feature, most of the features it's offering that follows the trend all have some problems attached to it. www.slashgear.com/t-mobile-lg-g7-thinq-price-is-unbelievable-21531385/ I hope the brand manages to reverse this and go over this slump. But honestly, I don't think they are gonna sell any better than the previous couple of generations. And I'm not sure if V40 will have enough to fare better than V30 too... few rumours and speculation so far, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Does it have an app drawer?

is Juan Bagnell still with pocketnow?

notch... I believed was inspired by the V10’s 2nd diaplay

you bring back our focus with changing the girl outfit with sweater 😂

What type of headphone do you recommend since it doesn't come with them?? That the only flaw !!😭

@jaime, are you the only presenter remaining at pocketnow ? What happened to the others ?

Any secure folder built in?

6:27 What do you mean?? That footage is smooth asf!

LG G phone, always the most underrated phone of the year! Still loving my G2 (despite cracked screen) and G5. I guess I can still wait for G8 or G9 😂😂

Real dac test of g7 like v30,v20 and g6?

google lens in default camera app? u missed it

I feel like One Plus 6 got announced after this but still took the internet by storm because of MARKETING and price point. LG always drops the price on their phones after a month of no sales. If OP6 was selling in carrier stores, it would seriously be over for LG.

I wish lg would bring back the curved screen from the g4

Think this will be a nice replacement for my aging G5. I don't need perfection.

Does the slow motion settings include 1080 120fps?

Lg makes some good washing machines.

This phone is great and as usual with LG phones its going to be underrated.

Your name sounds so cool.

This phone doesnt send tex messages to my progear2 watch any reason why

Wow, I'm surprised at the battery life all the other testers must have been using unofficial software. I was seeing mostly 4 hours tops down to like 5 or 10 percent.

If it had a more 'stock android' UI, I think it would've sell better, even an option for me.

You can get rid of the notch and blend it in??? Nice play LG. Let me see iPhone does that.

Watching on my G3.

Not sure how you had 3 hours SOT with almost 50% battery left. I'm getting no more than 2-2.5 hours on a full charge.

Is there face unlock?

No camera review this year?

When will Google launch it's pixel

What about battery life?

My lg g6 is bootloader locked and is still on android 7.0

What was his name?

I dont see why more people dont talk about the dac in this phone?

Where's the LG V30 after the buzz?

HTC U12+, Mi Mix 2S, OP6, or HTC U12+, or HTC U12+ ?? ;)

This will be my next phone. For people complaining about the screen, +mLCD is brighter, can read the screen through sunlight and every pixel gets a white light. Also no worries about ghosting or burn-ins. The screen is better than the one on the OP6 but of course, everyone will still pass on the g7 because "muh OLED". This phone satisfies what I need from a daily driver.

I think the most useful dual camera set up for a smartphone is the LG's normal fov + wide angle. telephoto, b&w and depth sensors are less useful. But LG's decision to reduce the field of view of the wide angle is very frustrating. 😒

lg has all the tools, they just need to appeal to consumers and find something to differentiate themselves again. the wide camera, manual camera and hi quality audio jack are good, but there lack of a second screen in the v series really pushed people away. Maybe they can beat everyone with superb battery life, a number of programmable buttons or a screen that beats samsung. They are so close yet so far.
