Until now I had Huawei - an older model but flagship I hope I will be still happy with LG- never had before

I doubt you will ever see any further android updates from LG, they are terrible at providing new updates so likely no Android 10. Other than that they are pretty much matched. Much better camera and better sound (via BT or Jack) on P30 whereas G8S has stereo speakers and better IP rating. Screen wise they are like for like, i prefer the P30 but they are both really good, I also prefer EMUI to LG's UX. If only LG gave better customer support for phones like they do their TV's.

Overall I prefer the G8S. It's got a slightly bigger, more vibrant display, stereo speakers, better construction quality, waterproofing, more natural looking photos, and I prefer its Android skin.
The P30 has a better camera in some situations, such as extremely low light, but I prefer the results from the G8S as they look more natural and lass processed. I don't often want to take photos in near darkness, as is possible with the P30.
In all of the main attributes I interact with - the build quality, display, speakers, os - the G8S is better.

I'm planing on buying this phone but I care much about headphones audio quality. Since the the 3.5mm output isn't an option I plan to use an adapter that has an integrated DAC (USB-C to 3.5mm jack) - would it work? Thank you!

I made my custom preset as follows : 1st bar at 75% , 2nd bar at 90%, 3rd bar 80% 4th 75% 5th 50%, 6th 30% 7th 8th and 10th are at 35% and 9th is at 30%, with the equalizer like this and DTS deactivated it gives the best bass through the speakers but in some videos on youtube some low-end voices tend to sound a bit eh so this works mostly with music, if I watch a movie or something I leave it with the bass boost preset and activate DTS and in DTS settings I selected the side by side option for the best stereo effect.
It needs a bit of tinkering to get the sound right but overall I'm ok with it, if you want to use bluetooth devices or a pair of headphones just leave it on bass booster, my preset is good just for the built-in speakers...
I had a ZenFone 3 before getting my hands on the g8s and what can I say, the Asus has a better equalizer and a much better bass when it comes to the headphone jack, that's why I'm still using that phone for music in my car, if you care about bass, the g8s isn't going to be wow, sound through bluetooth seems a bit better than throught the headphone jack.

I've also got a Huawei P30 and it sounds very similar. Interestingly, I recently bought an S10 plus and it sounds a bit better, although not as good as a quad dac.
I've been using both with an lg hi-fi plus dac. With a short usb-c to usb-c cable it's quite an elegant solution, and means that I'm not tied to lg quad dac phones. Having said that, I just ordered a V50 though.

That's pretty bad, because I was looking forward to buy this phone. But in general I guess the audio quality is still good, no?

Hello there!
Can someone tell how is the audio quality of the wired headphones? If I understood correctly, this one does not have a QuadDac, but still has one, just not sure is the one from Qualcomm or a custom LG? Had a V20 and that one had very good audio quality.
