Anonymous, 09 Nov 20181. Well, it's annoying to have a super bright screen facing... moreso i did the test. By shining a flashlight to the sensor in the store, it easily goes up to 1000 nits. And apart from a few drops to 550 nits caused by me(because holding a phone for 20 minutes is hard and thus, i sometimes misaligned the flashlight) it stayed 1000nits for as long as i needed, 20 minutes that is. I stopped the test after that and display was only warm. So my conclusion is if the phone doesnt heat up much by other factors(low connection, direct sun etc.), you can use 1000nits as you please. Just a side note: at the start of the test manually toggling the brightness brought the display to 1000nits. After the 20min, doing it manually only brought it to 850nits or so. So i quickly switched to auto and shone my flashlight on it and it went up to 1000nits again. I dont know why it didnt manually boost to 1000 second time but it wasnt because display was hot and doing it auto still makes it 1000 nits so no problems i guess.
I also retested note 9 with flashlight (this time i had more time so i did a 5minute test)
White:It went from the manual 550nits to 1000nits and stayed like that for 5 min(i stopped after 5 min and display was only slightly warm,it'd probably do longer if i needed)
Red: I just wondered what would happen if the image wasnt white. It went from around 250 nits(i forgot exact value) to approx 400nits. Even though 400 doesnt sound like much, it was actually bright just like 1000nits white. Its probably about the amount of subpixels being lit. In red you only have 1 sub being lit, while in white you have all the 3 sub being lit.
Sadly i forgot to see what would happen with lg boosted in red color. But as iphone6's lcd does 630nits white and 220 nits red, we can assume lg follows the same pattern. All right, i hope i just satisfied someone else's curiosity out there haha. Have a nice day.
edit: i also tested note 8 actually and in the store, it was the first time i saw what burn in in oled means. Since it shows the same image with high brightness for looong periods of time there was a text embeded in the screen.(the text stays there whatever you do, its like a part of screen now) And it only managed up to 850 with flashlight. wanted to share (i cant believe they even showcase a burned in model, maybe no one did notice lol)

SmartphoneTester, 14 Nov 2018I really wanna get this or the Sony Xperia XZ2 on Black Fri... moreClose your eyes and buy sony xp. Xz2. If you even thinking about to buy lg g7 then you wii be regrett always .Neither camera, nor battery back up .sound quality through ear phone is dull. There is only a hype creating by lg that it has 32 bit audio dack and fallan -fallan. Even my previous zenfone 2 is 1000 times better than this waste. Only display is good but not great.

Rahul kumar Arya, 09 Nov 2018I am a audio centric and i have prchased this for listening... moreIm suprised,because for audio fans there is only one choice-Htc.Htc started with quad audio dac long before others(plus dolby) and unlike LG now- u dont need special headphones(with htc 10 and higher u ll get those expencive headphones)- but even without ones,im using poor lg headphones,cheap from cheaper lg lowbudgwt phone-sound for music is far away the best.

ABC, 12 Nov 2018Do u recieve security updates regularly?Not regularly but i got one update after using 5-6 days which improves some UI bugs . it's still running without any issues . Lg is not very popular for their regular updates . They only do when users facing any problem or any major os update . I think it's good bcoz when you get updates sometimes it harm your phone or improve your phone little bit . Enjoy ....

Rahul kumar Arya, 09 Nov 2018I am a audio centric and i have prchased this for listening... moreUse a good earphone or headphone and Use snapdragon equalizer by google play music then you can control it . For cameras you should try google camera which is available for Lg G7 . You will find it on google camera port hub . I am using it on my G7 thinq and it's just great . Battery life is average in my usage . I am getting 5-6 hrs on a single charge . But i am very happy with the sound quality . Best of luck .

2-Its okay, i am going to do it in a few weeks :), just the way i did to note9. My problem was that the day i tested note 9, i learned lg g7 is replaced by q7 in most stores(I went like 3 stores and they all had q7's and one guy said g7 is old lol). I'll do it again when i have time ^^(i also learned where i can find it) And ill surely write here when i do the test! :D

The DAC quality is good, but u need to have same high quality headphones. Somewhere in the comments people were recommending headphones with above 50ohms . Not sure if this helps.
Also on my old G6 i played around with the settings of my display , themes and standby screen to get better battery life. Not sure if it will help with your G7.

I am a audio centric and i have prchased this for listening good qality of music. But totally disappointing. My 30000/- hard earned money has wasted. There is only a hype created by lg that it has dedicated hyfi 32 bit audio dac. But the quality of sound is totally distortion on full volume. My previous zenfone 2 was 1000 times better than this as far as sound through ear phone is concerned. The baterry back up is horrible. Only 4 hour S.O.T. The camera on low light is worst. When uses its flash lite it makes picture totally yellowish. I am irritated to purchase this rubbish phone. Now i have put this waste on OLx

2. As much as I appreciate your passion, I'm sorry that I couldn't do your favor since I only have one phone.
If you really curious with this phone, Why don't you just go to LG store and try it for yourself? The experience would be different if you hold it by hand than just get info from reviews & opinions :)

(they were near each other so :p) without flashlight it was around 500lux, with flashlight it went around 700lux(both pure white screen), and when i went to main screen, where your normal apps are, it jumped between 900-1000lux so thats amazing and i wanted to share ;D.

Anonymous, 07 Nov 2018The 1000 nits cannot be set up permanently and it only hold... morehaha last sentence is me :D, since you have the phone could i ask a few questions?
1-Would 1000nit work all the time, if you kept pushing the button every 3 minutes?
2-If you dont mind can i ask u to test sth? You need 2 phones tho(your lg and any other smartphone which has brightness sensor) but im gonna say it anyways it may interest you as well.
First download cpu-z to the other phone, after opening cpu-z go to sensors, there will be a measurment in "lux". Next, download a pure white image to g7 from google and then open it(leave g7 in auto mode on, dont use manual boost). Now put g7 directly onto the other phones sensors(usually near front camera).While g7 is on the other phones sensor, shine a flashlight on g7's sensor(kinda annoying but..) If it shows like 900-1000lux in cpuz-, it means 900-1000nits. Could you check how long does it take for lux measurment to start declining?
Its fine if you dont wanna test, i still appreciate your answer ^^

I currently use LG G7+ and live near equator area which get a lot of sun light, and I don't find it necessary to manually boost the screen brightness under the sun light since the screen is still readable (unless you need super bright screen and don't want to have any dimmer screen under the sun).

siminum, 05 Nov 2018from all the reviews currently posted on the internet, the ... moreI also read all of them, 3 mins for manually boosting it, but i thought it could have been different if left in auto mode only. I read somewhere lg g5 could boost its luminance up to 800 in auto but would immediately start decreasing to a stable 600 nits over 2 minutes. Same site says its "seemingly forever" in lg g7"(I assumed they thought 3 mins is more than enough). But another site which i really trust, notebookcheck, measures screen brightness, with the ambient light sensor activated, after screen has stayed white for 10 minutes at max brightness. They measure an average of 975 nits, while they say manually boosting is temporary and only brings the display up to 935nits.
In the end, since apperantly no site tests lg g7's auto brightness for prolonged periods of time, i guess ill never know for sure, i still apperciate you taking your time to answer me. Most people dont care.
