I ended up getting a V40 on eBay cheap as an extra phone to get the 5 camera setup. I use the G8 as my main phone but can use the V40 in situations that I will need a better camera setup. Not perfect, a workaround at best.

My son is currently using a G3, that was handed down from me, and that I had bought used. If the G6 would have had 64 gig of internal, I probably would still be using it. Loved that phone lol

        Shihab Uddin, 19 Apr 2020Where did you found them that cheap? I was also looking fo... moreThey are probably looking for a GSM variant. You can't find a Verizon model in home shape, for anywhere near those prices. Verizon branded are always more expensive, because they can also be used on GSM carriers. I just paid $335 for a near mint G8, and couldn't be happier

          I have a G8 locked to Tmobile. How do I unlock the network?

            Here is a list of reasons why people are criticizing the LG G8 ThinQ phone.

            1. The sound that the Camera app makes when you make a photo, which is not practical when you need to make photos at nighttime without waking up people from the Camera app noise. So, you have to download an app to get rid of the Camera app noise so you can make photos quietly without disturbing people at nighttime.
            2. The lack of freedom of being able to keep the screen on permanently so you can read things without the screen turning off, which is not practical when you are trying to read things for a long time and the system turns off the screen when you are trying to read recipes while cooking. So, you would have to download another app, but this app will be for getting the screen to stay on permanently or until you are done reading.
            3. The lack of improvement and practicality in the preinstalled File Manager app when the phone is in factory condition. You have to download yet another app to get a practical file manager app that makes time used efficiently.
            4. The lack of freedom to make apps easily organized into alphabetical order without having to waste time switching Home Screens.
            5. The sound in this phone sounds distorted if the volume is increased above 80% because LG is selling broken audio systems in their newer phones, which means the LG G8 ThinQ phone is a downgrade in regards to sound quality.
            6. Needing to put the phone in Developer Mode to get the screen to stay on while the phone is charging means that the phone users will have to waste their precious time to make their phones used for practical tasks that require the screen to stay on for a long time. If you're kidnapped and you need to use your LG G8 ThinQ phone to escape from kidnappers, your phone screen may turn off at an inconvenient time for you.
            7. The preinstalled Music app does not let the phone users have freedom to organize their music the way they want to as much as other music apps such as the jetAudio app.
            8. LG G8 ThinQ's screen looks unprofessional and tacky when long and wide videos are being watched on it because the LG G8 ThinQ has a notch that blocks some parts of the videos when long and wide videos get played.
            9. Making the LG G8 ThinQ phone become rootable has become challenging because nerds that want to tinker with the LG G8 ThinQ software will have to figure out how to root their phones on their own.
            10. Google has made LG G8 ThinQ a privacy nightmare.
            11. WiFi connectivity is not very good on this phone.
            12. Quality in regards to LG G8 ThinQ overall is lower than some of the previous LG phones even though the employees of the LG company added new features to the LG G8 ThinQ.
            13. Some apps may crash on the LG G8 ThinQ phone because it has 6 GBs of RAM instead of 8 GBs of RAM despite it being the year of 2020.
            14. Asus phones usually surpass LG phones in almost every way now.
            15. Prices on this phone are too high considering that this phone has a broken audio system that makes music sound distorted if the volume is above 80% and because this phone is not good for practical tasks unless you download apps that may be intrusive at the expense of your privacy and may crash because LG won't make trustworthy promises of good quality products anymore.

            All in all, LG G8 ThinQ in its factory condition is nothing more than an impractical toy that is a downgrade and a privacy nightmare despite its new features until you download apps and fix its broken audio system. Good luck fixing its broken audio system because LG doesn't want you tinkering with their toys if you're not an LG employee.

                      Eddie depay, 23 Mar 2020Please is it worth it to get this phone in 2020?I've found a few for 140 to 170 dollars, and for that price, it's a bloody steal. You won't find phones as good as LG's as cheap. Never buy current gen midrangers or budget phones, always buy older model flagships.

                          Hello. You have errors in the description of the LG G8 THINQ smartphone. The LG G8 has a focal length of 25mm on the main camera and 50mm on the telephoto. And you have 27 and 54 respectively. Please fix it.

                            Eddie depay, 23 Mar 2020Please is it worth it to get this phone in 2020?Absolutely yes, it's a snapdragon 855 phone. I mean in other areas it's just under $300. For the LG g8 thinq g820um model. It's absolutely a still. Go ahead and buy you will not regret it at all.... IT IS A FLAGSHIP PHONE ALTHOUGH IT A YEAR OLD TOO.

                              Lg g8 thinq g820um (Canada) which is AT&T version Unlocked on Aliexpress is just under $300. I am currently using LG V20. It's durable as a rock which has a metal back and still running . Previously I was gaving the G4, probably a day of purchase it had the BOOTLOOP problem and put it down for while. I latter had someone whose G4's screen was spoilt But it's board was working and so I bought (I did the repair myself in a couple of MINUTES) . After that the BOOTLOOP problem vanished forever although it's lost I still remember it. SOO not all LG G4s have the BOOTLOOP PROBLEM). What I like about LG ELECTRONICS ARE THEIR PHONES ARE BUILT TO LAST.........

Don't think you're getting a new Snapdragon 855 for that price anywhere else. It's a year old by now but i figure i'm saving at-least half off a new flagship in exchange for a year off its life.
