4 yrs now, phone is still working good, drop a few times, no problem. Phones r getting bigger n bigger, but I like this smaller phone.
1)Smaller phone
2)3.5 jack
3)good music player
These r the main reason I love this phone.

Bought the 128GB version when it launched. Very responsive phone, even now almost 5 years later. It has been dropped multiple times, even while riding my motorcycle at 80km/h with only the original case and a glass screen protector. Still works perfectly! The only issues i have now with it is the back glass adhesive giving out and the battery is somewhat degraded. It's one of the best built smartphones i have ever seen! I am very sad that LG mobile whent and closed shop...

After 3 years of owning this phone I would recommend to not buy it if you find it. The only reason I am still using it is because is the most expensive mobile I have ever purchased (480€). The last 1.5 year the mobile has start to show everyday glitches and lags, such as the phone refusing to open, the fingerprint works whenever you don't need it (that's why I have disable it), the FB messenger pop-up does not work not matter what I configure the app and the phones "bubble setting", the notifications come at random time and some time multiple times(for example I receive notifications 5 hours after the message has been received). The more time passes the more glitches I could find. Unfortunately LG Greece does not even has it listed in product support list, so I belive trying to solve it with the company, especially with the low(I believe) sales this phone had is impossible. Additionally I did a factory reset 5 months ago and it seemed to work better, not normal again but better, until 3 weeks ago that it started to delay unlocking when pressing the power button. And when I say delay, I mean at least 15 seconds. Battery wise it's normal for a 3 year old phone to charge at least one time at a day. Camera could be better, colours are not so realistic and the variety of the modes make it more difficult to take a simple picture that depicts what you see. Good phone if you change phone every 2 years at max.

This is why LG G8 and G8X have double camera, but G8s has triple. The G*s models, G* Fit, G* SE models are Flagship killers. They compete with Chinese phones, that have Flagship specs at an affordable price. But that leaves the question unanswered. The G8s has a triple one because China's Flagship killers have 3 cameras.

I had LG V30 and that one did not perform good. Battery drained in a day with only 2 phone calls and 15 to 20 sms. So I was very sceptical about this one, the LG G8S ThinQ. I bought one to take a look at it and try it out for a month. Now I have it for 6 month and bought 1 more for backup. Sometimes it gets hot and drains the battery very fast but I turn it off and back again and works like a charm for a month or two. I have posted not so good post in a past and for that I apologize to LG company and fans. Hope to see there new mobile products very soon.

This is great phone. 3 years and only now it starts lagging at somepoint, nothing bad. Battery
is two days if you dont watch much videos. Removed rubber casing and using it without it looks even cooler. Aluminum frame feels still very good. Spec still flies. Can anyone suggest current equivalent?

I'm so sad that LG has left the phone market. This phone is really priceless. It's been already almost 3 years and still it's doing very well. Outstanding camera: 3 lenses which one of them is telephoto lense. (beautiful daytime pictures, great video quality), Face ID and Fingerprint sensor works perfectly in my case, 3,5mm jack, water and dust resistance, normal size, and for a good prize 😃. Nobody offers such a combo nowadays. And btw with Android 12 is unexpectedly smooth. ❤️

The LCD screen can get ghosting where the lock screen image is permanently imprinted in the display, even when it's off. Also because of the need for backlighting in LCD screens they tend to drain the battery faster.

I bought one used and cheap. It had some use marks, but so far, i'm happy.
It came with Android 12 stock.
Well build, fells very snappy, the camera takes nice pics and yes you have 3 usefull cams, the face unlock is awesome, even with low light situations.
The downs...the battery life, is not great...maybe needs new battery

I allmost bought it then i saw it has an oled screen, that was the deal breaker. IPS LCD is a super screen it will last us 20 years no problems and it has a natural tone to colours.

Have had a G8S for 3 years and it is totally faultless. I have G2, 4 and 6 before hand and all good. Getting a spare G8 given LG not making so good phones now. My phone is a phone for voice, text and camera. It is not an extension of my life and no personal details are carried in it.
