Yes, OLED on G8 have big problem with PWM flickering.

Yes. LEDs give headaches.

Yeaah OLED displays hurt my eyes, LCD is the best for me

The one reason why I will go G7. LEDs burn the eyes easily. @_@

@@ayasinx8797 i bought g7 too for that reason

The battery life is negligible and the screen is actually pretty bad honestly, it's not as bright and the color accuracy is meh

@@chrisodell6107 I had a g7 for 6 months and between the 3000mah battery and the 4gb ram the phone was mediocre as hell the g8 is what the g7 should have been. Between the new chip and the new screen i'm seeing about 30% longer usage on my g8 and 30% isn't "negligible" maybe on paper 3000mah vs 3500mah seems meh but in real world the oled and the sd 855 make it a night and day difference vs the g7 ability to last.

The british version didn't get ANY cameras!!! for some bizarre reason lg isn't releasing the phone here!! So I've had every "g" phone from the g2 upwards, so much for loyalty eh??

@@chrisodell6107 I agree G7 has the better screen. LG mobile OLEDs suffer from a grainy image quality & black crush/smear. Their high end TV OLEDs are better.

@@Franknpipe idk but the screen on my G8 is miles ahead of my samsung S8. The tint usually on oled is almost non existent on my G8.

Both of them are 100% DCI-P3 but g8 is better overall because its Oled

@@jaysealenduro5618 it's also got that dark pinkish tint, only advantage OLED has is that of high colour contrast and it's more dynamic, rest the IPS looks more natural.

@@zahed3021 your talking about lg's own panels even lg said oled is better.. But for me i really like lg lcd because they're the best on screen displays im using g6 but if they made oled it will be better lg's oled on g8 is the perfect screen its accurate as an ips quantum lcd when viewing videos but its more vibrant like what most people want but not like samsung amoled its over saturated but g8 oled its not

If you watch in 1080p, the g8 has a noticeably sharper screen.

@@turkishultranationalist i dont think so

I have a V30 ..verry nice phone with a nice price..everything is good in ❤❤

yeah LG is dying here in USA too

oled is more battery efficient for darker colours while lcd is better for lighter colours thats why apple has always used lcd for their iphones' white ui

yeah it's the south korean variant

@@PhoneBattles oh only south korean version??!

Yeah, i did notice that when i go to home screen then go to app drawer click the app that i already open, it will open again as from the start

it is the Korean variant

yes

To bad the G6 battery life is bad.

Because the sound comes out of the screen

Same

@@victork9938 not good at all :(

@@ratboy1016 you must have a faulty unit then lol

lol, yeah it's a meme app

Yes

@@MrJrod899 the most beautiful projector phone I've ever used.

correct, it's 4GB

G7 One is using Snapdragon 835, G7 ThinQ is Snapdragon 845. In terms of hardware, the G7 ThinQ is better. In terms of software, the G7 One is better because using Android One with faster upgrades.

Slicker finish on the back of thr phone. Phone is rather slippery without a case.

this is the korean variant which has 3. most regions only get 2

@@PhoneBattles And if you do get an import they are going for over $1,000. Honestly don't think it's worth it at that price. Also add into it no warranty. I even registered my TMO it on LG's website. And T-MOBILE knows I have it because it shows on my profile. While I usually don't buy carrier phones, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a stolen product being re-sold. The vendor had good reviews, and did a follow up email to make sure I was happy.

External speaker I think the G7 wins

Way underated phone....upgraded from a G5....another underated phone.. Best both unlocked...so their mine to keep..which I do....Freakin Merto now charges for switching phone...with Your own sim card....Maybe time to move on to another carrier...🖖👌

I got that too. Better white... PURE whites on G7 and better sound. Better than G8... not worth getting the G8 although it wins in other areas.

@@fatold50 If you are lucky enough to live near a MetroPCS store from what I've heard they will waive that fee, or call them and speak with them first. Still it's a pain the butt.

Battery life is ok ?

@@VIP-LION no :(

My cousin has modded the G2 so much that even with half the specs he does not want to give it up haha. G2 FTW

Why nerfed? It is not.

@@elijak8263 it is really excellent also for the price it has but I would prefer the normal version with the quad dac, sound oled and better performing cameras

@@ChopGamers Camera differences are marginal. I prefer the G8s because it has a better battery performance as it is a FHD screen.

why ?

I had the G7 and now have the G8.. I agree,the G7's external speaker seems to be louder. That thing was nice and loud . The G8 seems to be more tame.

I have the G5 as well, and I'm also considering a new phone. I will probably wait for the G8 prices to drop. I suggest you do the same.

Isn't g8 out? I saw it in the store (US). Btw I'm in the same situation, have a G5 and want to upgrade since my fingerprint reader stopped working.

@@m1225753 In Europe (Romania) is not for sale. I hope arrive in next 2-3 months... LG G7 launch price 760$ , and after few months , the price is 360$ :))

@@Baleent7 Odd thing here in the US, some vendors were selling them for $600 /700 or so. Might have been an intro price because I see these same vendors like B&H and Best Buy are charging like $800 for an unlocked model. BTW B&H ships internationally.

We are lucky here in Canada, G8 is on sale at a good discount.

great choice! just got the phone and I'm impressed

I have a 3a coming in for my Fi line, using a Moto z3, which I got for like almost nothing between selling a few older devices and credits from BB. I didn't order the XL version because all of my phones are large, wanted something smaller for a change up. I did do one of those TMO scheme's, needed another line, her ip7 was starting to fail (not interested in phoneOS arguments). Basically she traded in a broken ip7, she got the 10Xr I paid like $40 extra to up her to 256gb, they had one left in red which is the color she wanted. In my case it works out, she had it since last fall. Bought my 3a through Fi, should come sometime this weekend. Not in a rush. I did have like $30 in equipment credit do to some logistical problem with not being able to receive incoming calls.. So basically it paid the sale tax, and get $100 credit towards my Fi line, which means free service for 4 months. I bought my G8 brand new locked to T-Mobile for $500 which included a Speck case, which seems to go for about $26. on Amazon but using a Spigen Tough Armor which I use on most of my phones. Sadly Spigen doesn't have their full line of cases for the G8. If you can snag a G8 for $500, I would get that over the 3a. And nice birthday present either way.

I'd get an LG phone over a pixel ANYDAY... no learning curve or knowledge of tech needed. Wide angle is easy to use. Best bang for your buck EVERYWHERE!

depends on the price of G8, but G8 is not a huge improvement over G7

I love android but the xr would beat the snot out of the g7. The g7 isnt even fasyer then the a11 chip nevermind the a12

Don't think so as full screen in yt goes over the notch

I was surprised myself, but G7 has super bright mode which G8 doesn't. in my opinion G7 is too bright while G8 is too dark. not sure if it is just my phone. regardless, I still think G8 does a better job overall and handles the bright lights better

Bana geri bildirim olarak yazarsan memnun olurum

G7 is better.

@@KR-nm6wm for the price yes, so when G8 drop that price as low as G7. G8 wins!

@@FranciscoGuevarra Exactly and at $500 delivered to my home with a US warranty from LG and T-Mobile I jumped on it. Most people want unlocked, most people want the red color. Since I use that carrier, prefer black and case my phones it didn't make a difference to me, in about a month, my carrier will unlock it when I put in the request.

On the lg g5 love the interchangeable battery feature which I personally think should of been kept on their new models. One of their best feature

It still has it.

@@DanielleVoiculescu maybe it's my fu..... Italian version of not having it ...

Lcd have pure whites

Its an LCD. That is why the whites are better

Why does that matter? Why are whites better on LCD?

我也觉得G7白色更纯净

Lg always in FRONT on the TV market, but mid-tier on the mobile-market... "Why?" Is the question?

Definitely agree LG as a company is No#1 pertaining to TVs also in South Korea it out sales samsung galaxy phones research it yourself.

its like in south korea but not here in Pakistan its like Huawei and samsung are in the top and especially Xiaomi

☝😎

ghosts

Oreo

Lolipop

g7 plus would be a much better value for your money. given those prices I'd say G7 plus.

@@PhoneBattles thank you for your suggestion

yeah odd, but they changed their sound design for the worse. mkbhd and others have spoken more in-depth on exactly why

@@PhoneBattles no one set up the speaker before talking trash about it's sound did you even bother to change the settings

Wait another 3 months & LG G8 price will drop to about $500 💵 off contract or purchase on B&H website bottom line it's your decision.

mine is korean version which has 3
