Weekly poll: LG G7 ThinQ, hot or not?

06 May 2018
The LG G7 is late to the party, but did the company put together a compelling package that was worth the wait? Or is it just late?

Sort by:

well, its hot
but who cares at this price range? its very rare to find LG loyal customers.

    PeterThePanda, 08 May 2018Yes it is oversaturated. You've just gotten used to such ov... moreIt's an IPS LCD with wRGB arrangement... HDR10 compliant and full DCI-P3; I agree with you... taking away the notch (fugly trend IMO) the screen is an overall improvement -

    I love IPS panels from JDI by the way; in a long term basis of use and leaving aside some gimmicks as curved screens (besides their cheaper price, power efficiency for blacks, higher contrast, organic diodes, lighter and thinner panels... all in all those are the advantages I recall) I can't understand why people praise an AM-OLED over a well made IPS or IGZO...

      the tech nerd, 07 May 2018Yeah, to the people complaining about ips lcd, even i didn'... moreyeah, nice article and thanks for the link. It's cool tech and all, I wish they would also implement this kind of method for OLED as well. Better efficiency and max brightness.

        Price is horrible, no amoled, notch, LG again need to rething their flagship strategy, every years just gets worse and worse. Would be decent phone if price would be right, cause LG does not offers anything special with G7 than competition

                  Would be ok if LG priced it $500. As priced, nah. I'll pass. SMH@LG.

                      Still, I prefer LCD because it has better color accuracy (I don't like those oversaturated crap) and better longevity. LCD does have its problems like image retention.

                        2 things. be like motorola with external snap on batteries. I barely can go 6 hours without charging. Also make an internal HD fm/ am antenna

                            It's evident that LG & HTC are just arrogant. They know they can't compete with Samsung & Apple and yet they release their devices with similar prices or even more than Samsung's! The G7 is more expensive than an S9.
                            I'm not speaking for people who know something about phones who are a minority. Most people just want a phone that is popular or looks as good as the popular ones, but priced less. The G7 & new htc u12 & even the Sony xz2 are none of that. That's why Huawei & Xiaomi are selling more phones than them

                              PROs:
                              - processor + gpu
                              - 3.5 mm jack
                              - MIL-STD-810G compliant
                              - SD CARD SLOT

                              CONs:
                              - LG updates are the worst
                              - battery is kinda small for a 6.1 display
                              - always on display for IPS display? Useless
                              - need I say NOtch Buy?! (not into this bs trend only because china brands and their sheeps embrace it)
                              - also I dislike their UI bleah (but nothing that root can't fix)

                              All in all it seems an OK-ish phone, just not for me..

                              FIX your updates LG!

Only problem is that Apple does not allow you to fully take advantage of all that CPU power (with the exception of simple photo/video rendering) because the 2/3GB of RAM bottlenecks the A11. That's why many Android phones outperform the iPhone 8/8+/X in real-life use.
