Where is the man behind G2? It was LG peak moment than sink. Doesn't have to innovate like motorola but at least on par with sammy, not only on price

      Anonymous, 03 Feb 2019Nah. The market has spoken. Buy thin phones and cover it... moreAt least, those obscured phones will last long well protected. Not like those craked after any small mishap or fall with the new glass trend for the convenience of LG customer service... $$$. Cases for me, for sure and metal phone or even plastic preferred and maybe even with self-repairing coating.

      These LG phones are not even attractive. So they would even be more nice with a good case. But they are not worth it for the price they ask for. A big camera sensor for me and avoid these garbage.

        Good to know LG is finally upping their battery game. Hopefully V50 will have at least 4000 mAh too...

          Buy thin phones and cover it with thick ugly cases.

          Obscuring the very thing (looks factor) they paid for.

            I think LG is making a mistake with that ridiculous battery, they don't learn from the past and that's why their mobile division is failing. I suggest they stick with a notchless design, at least a 4000 + battery, improve the UI a bit, and deploy some updates to the existing ghost-town of LG phones.

              Gonzales , 02 Feb 2019samsung s10 is horrible ugly with hole on curved screenWell, be ready to watch punch holes in LG phones later, because LG do all always later like their updates that arrive too late when they arrive... For now, ugly notch, ridiculously small sensors in their cameras and old fingerprint at the back. The battery, at least is bigger now, like their price, that 500 mAh will cost you at least $60 while for them only few cents more...

                so in 2019 we have all devices 6" screen+ but it seems that manufacturers still cant figure outbhow to put bigger batteries inside.
                ...maybe they should learn from small phone makers who will give you 4000mah in a 5.5" device....
                FKN JOKE!

                  Will be skipping the v40 becuz it didn't satisfy me that much but will be buying the v50 later this year becuz am using a galaxy note 9 but I do love LG phones

                      Anonymous, 02 Feb 2019The battery was bigger on LG X power phones.And that's the part I can't fathom. The LG X Power 2 has a 4,500 mAH and it's not even that thick. Why doesn't LG save money by slapping this battery on the G8 and V50 since they already have it? I thinQ a lot of us would sacrifice a liiiiiittle thickness for better battery.

So with 3500 for the G8 they can once again do it. Also remember to the V50 maybe LG will give it 4000 battery. Hope they don't screw in the battery department once again.

                          LG should just fired their whole mobile developer section. Worst software & faulty hardware and now this. ThinQ name also sounds as stupid as it can be.

                          Restart from scratch after researching market interest, you definitely can do it.

                                Hole in the screen is by far the ugliest invention of 2019.

                                      Wow. What an earth shattering capacity for a sealed one!

                                      Kudos to the optimization electronic fairies inside that help in white knighting this petty capacity to power up beefier modern hardware.

                                        They should provided a thin bezel on the top like the S9+ but at least they are not going for those ugly holes in the display.
