Are you a fan of the notch?

I don't understand this. I understand the reviewer is different but it's the same organization so the opinions shouldn't change. If you say in the OP6 review that the notch is ok and then in this you say it's bad, that is the most blatant bias ever

This video is more like a documentary and a not like a device review

Extremely shabby work by Verge again. You guys really need to structure your reviews and give every single aspect of the phone proper time. Production quality won't matter if your content isn't great. This video just seemed like a rushed criticism.

What a negative ending to this review. So much of your view is subjective whining vs anything really wrong with the phone, so had to give a thumbs down on the review. -- I went through reviews of numerous phones and chose this camera as my top choice. Decent cameras on front and rear now. Battery from other reviews indicates that will be just fine for my usage. Have learned can use other launcher if don't like their interface. Love all the customization with all their options. -- 1. Phone Jack with good audio. Now I need better headphones to take advantage. Will also help hear music with my tinnitus because can adjust the frequencies! Very nice ability! 2. Wide angle camera allows taking photos of my horses. They are a lot wider than a person after all. I can get both cats in the video, even if they aren't sitting on top of each other. 3. Ability to rev up the brightness when outside, so I can finally see a phone screen without holding the phone up under my shirt and staring down through my bra or having to turn my back to the sun and look for shade while squinting. 4. I don't mind the notch. I like that they have the extra information on the top. 5. Loud sound from the single speaker, which is good for my aging ears and can be louder than my tinnitus. 6. Very cool that with one swipe can make a smaller image of the screen. 7. Manual options for video and photos. 8. The button for Google assistant is a neat idea, which may be handy. Plus they may allow remapping in future. 9. I don't like things on other phones, so this one doesn't have various negatives. Bixby? And hate the curved screen of the Samsungs. Some phones are also ridiculously large for an average woman's hands. The LG G7 is taller, but not as wide (and can use the smaller image version with one swipe). I love my LG refrigerator. I think I'll like the LG phone. I have a Samsung S3, so I can grade up once every few years. ;-) Plus have found phone with discount, so price is right too. They only have grey one for discount, but I plan to put a good case on the phone.

1:44 The notch on the iPhone X has nothing to do with Face ID, it's there because Apple wants that bezel-less look. Even without Face ID you would still need the notch because we still have the front-facing camera, speaker, light sensor

I don't know what the Verge is doing but please get the regular guys to do the phone reviews because this dude I don't think the camera likes him

My favorite phone of 2018 so far. Price is great and does a lot that other phones don't. All phones in 2018 have a notch for the most part. You making a point about LG having a notch is kinda dumb when everyone is doing it. You make a big deal of it too. Seems as if you trying to hard to hate this phone.

Hey Verge, What do you think about a 4.5 inch stock android phone. Bezelless, if possible. Won't it be a good and actual "differentiated" product?

How many is the usable memory that i can use when bought new?

Does the Netflix app even support outputting 5.1/7.1 so that this phone can output it with the surround virtualization?

Can you use usb c to hdmi cable with LG G7?

how do you keep your phones standing?

How do I know the original from the mack

What if they price it well?

Love the wide angle camera/Dac/and speakers. Great buy!

Both camera has a 1.6 aperture no?

I actually like the LG's app launcher the most out of all the launchers I've used. It let's me rearrange app icons, yet minimal unlike nova and others.

Is it worthed to sell my pixel 2 xl for G7?

Hi! Nice review, I like the presence of Quad dac audio,so I wondering which headphone I should buy with G7 spending max 150 euros? Thx :)

Just curious what are your guys's screen settings? Mine is on auto with the red turned all the way down. Because my screen had a red tint to it. Also when you turn the red down all the way it washes out the screen a little bit. Leave a comment below and let me know what your screen settings are

Is it a dual sim

You just hate phones with notch.. That's all.. Nothing else

Is there LG G7 FatQ?

Why no wallpaper?

Well would you look at the time on the thumbnail 🤔

It has a headphone jack, USB-C and microSD slot. What could go wrong?

How many times are you reviewing this phone?

so, LG G7 or DELL G7 ?

The person who set up the camera lighting of this video was doing a terrible job. Why would you use Rembrandt lighting on someone who has Strabismus and put the eye that looks straight into the shadow. Due to this, it looks like the host is looking to the right to a teleprompter or something. Took me a while to realize what was going on. It would have been way better to flip the lighting. Don't get me wrong, this is in no way an offence to the host and even lighting would have been fine too. But given the situation, this is the dumbest kind of lighting they could have picked.....

For a moment there I thought that's David from Android Police 😂

You can remap the bixby button tho. Mine opens the assistant

The Verge is a bunch of LG haters. The reason why the G7 will fail is because people and channels like yours that bash products rather then give honest reviews.

where are you looking?

Watching on my LG G5 why they copying style from iphone? Thats sucks

I used the iPhone x and the LG g7, and I'm still using the g7 and it literally puts the iPhone to shame. I like both iPhones and LG phones. The LG g7 has so many customizations like the always on display, the fonts, icons. Literally almost everything is customizable. Maybe try actually using the LG g7 before you make it sound like a Ken doll.

can you switch batteries ?

Are those stock ThinQ wallpapers?

🤨Clearly reading from a Teleprompter🤨 I can’t look 👀 away lol

Started with a critic on the notch, in the middle with mixed reviews of positive and negative comments, and ends with a critic again to conclude the video. Honestly, LG G7 is the LG phone that I think I want to start to love LG again (currently I use G5). Not really keen on G6, but almost loving V30 plus and pixel 2! Were torn between these two phones until LG G7 makes headlines. I started to dig more videos and articles for LG G7 reviews. The reviewer in this video forgots how awesome LG still keeps its headphone jack and not just solely having it, it has Quad DAC feature. G7 makes LCD screen so beautiful and so bright (probably the best in the industry now), that manual camera mode (LG phones always have this, most phones are automated), the battery even it's small but I'm sure there's quality in it (G5 has 2700mAh battery and I'm using it 2 years the battery still doesn't run out or acted funny ...supposed that a battery has 400-450 cycles, I think mine has passed that and still works!). There's also a video on KZfaq shows how snappy the LG G7 as compared to Iphone X. So much hate on LG's skin, I pretty much liked it! I don't see why the hate. I prefer LG's calendar app than Google! The Google Maps always working on LG phone, it never crashed on me. All in all, I think LG G7 has the enhanced features that most people wanted. High quality audio (plus the way it records sounds!), great and consistent camera (wide angle, duhh), great phone design and how it feels on hand, beautiful screen, smart assistant (the google assistant and also I think in G7, LG has their own smart assistant too like my G5), and it's not as pricey as Samsung and Iphone (If I'm not mistaken Huawei P20 Pro is quite pricey too right?). God, there's no perfect phone but for some people (like me) LG G7 is a perfect phone for 2018 flagship.

What is this music?

I think having a notch is fine as long as their is software that utilizes the notch and extra space at the top

Doesn’t the notch also have the front camera. Are there other phones that have a full screen with a camera that doesn’t have a notch? Can the notch be avoided? If not, let it go.

look into the camera please

I don't get these companies giving you an extra button and not letting you use it for more stuff, Google did the same with the squeeze feature of the Pixel 2 XL.

Unless If You Into Quad DAC Game *Buys Zenfone 5Z Instead Of This Phone* (Cuz OnePlus 6 Is Not Available In Indonesia)

LG G7 or OnePlus 6

4:20

Why no one is testing the Dac of this phone!!!! Test the audio vs lg v30/etc...

The thumbnail though it's always 420 somewhere, apparently at The Verge it's when they got the LG G7 XD

nice review bro! see you in the next one!

I see what you did with the thumbnail there Verge, nicely done... Blaze Up.

I like the power button built into the fingerprint scanner, one less button for a sleaker phone for me.

where is he looking at during the whole video?

wide angle camera, that all i need

I think LG should give us a phone with stock Android software and be a part of Android One program like Nokia, put a bigger camera sensor with their already great optics all backed by a bigger battery (atleast 3500mah). Otherwise I don't see any other weak areas in their phones, like display is nice(except a notch in this one),audio is great (with 3.5mm jack), and design is good too in my opinion.

I bought the LG G7 today, I previously had the G6. I'm not very tech savvy, not in the least. I was happy with the G6, so I think I'll be happy. I would like to see a video explaining some of the basic settings or more common features. Thanks. John

great review!

Headphone Jack, Quality DAC, Great Speaker, SD Card, Waterproof, Wide Angle Cam, Bluetooth 5.0, FM Radio...Ticks a lot of boxes, well done LG, looks great.

I'm a fan of the time used for the thumbnail

Who is the reviewer talking to when the camera is pointed at him????

Doesn't measure up to the best 4 phone cameras ever made? I didn't expect them to, I just need to know if it's on that level, or it's a potato.

One thing worth noting about LG phones is that their price tend to come down faster than other phones. A quick Google search found me a new LGV30 for $530. That's a hell of a phone for that price, whereas the Pixel 2 is hard to find for less than $750.

whhaa thought all verge videos were being shot at 4k from now :(

if that quirky UI wasn't there this would've been the best you can get with nearly all boxes being checked and that too at a decent price.

The reviewer looking off to the side bugs the hell out of me!

So is it waterproof?

Wtf verge.. 2018 and still no 4k?

Omg i have a stylo 2 plus and it has buttons on the back. I read the buttons on back are here to stay.I refuse to buy any phones with buttons on side. That was a game changer for me. Guess i need to stock up, ugh.

They're giving away a free TV with this phone in Canada. Shows you how much confidence LG has in the G7.

Remember when HTC said " were gonna slow down and put out phones that matter.". Haha

I think LG have done a good job this year... Wide Angle Cam, SDCard, Waterproofing, Headphone jack, great sounding speaker, excellent DAC. Quite a few boxes ticked for me.

to where he is looking?

That's why I am still rocking Pixel 2 XL with Android Pee

Great looking phone, Wich I Wish I have one.😁

Everyone just wait for the v40 !!! It'll be much better!

Didn't look like a review to me. Very few time dedicated to talk about the cameras.

Cool but it's just another glass slab aesthetically, the BB Keyone in that sense is much cooler I feel.

I think this video is over critical of the LG G7. I actually seen a lot of ppl with Verizon with this phone and they and love it. My on issue with this phone is the LCD display and the look of the UI. If those was to change I would have been interested.

great review man

I think that's Think with a 'q' and not Thin-Q

I like your teaching mate

Yes I Love My G-7 ThinQ!💯©️

I have an LG G6... and the main reason - it was similar in features to a Galaxy phone, but costs less. It was $500 new, when Galaxy/iPhones were in the +$800 range. I hope that LG keeps it up, as it is a great phone, as long as the price is reasonable. Only true downside to LG phones - aftermarket cases.

Why did this look like its part of the keynote haha

you guys have to do more control over who should do a video review

Best review ever!

Um anyone else getting a Scooby doo vibe from the background music in the first half of the video? Is there a ghoul about to get unmasked?

That was done real ASMR STUFF!!

I like the apple watch strap 😍

U don’t understand why lg added the notch? Because everyone is copying what is perceived as the best and standard in high end phone....ie the iPhone X....

Just started using the G7, used the phone a decent amount throughout the day, got off work at 6pm battery was still at 80%

Where is Dieter....?

Is it just me or does the video remind you of marques’ phone review?

Hey! We're over here, where the camera lens is!

Love the thumbnail! It's 4:20 somewhere!!!!

Came, saw notch, left.

The notch thing is obviously personal preference. It’s great LG provides the option to hide it. It seems companies have that there so you can have as much screen as possible while keeping the phone small. If someone asks “Why bother having it there if you can hide it?”, you have to reiterate that it’s there so you get more screen. That’s why.

I love this phone

They should make there current hardware count. Bs 6 months delay in Oreo update for v30 compared to there home market is absurd
