LG G7 ThinQ hands-on review

02 May 2018
The LG G7's fate seemed uncertain throughout the last couple of months as the company's new leadership was reviewing past and future projects. Well, the new management also happened to think G7 is what the maker needs to do next, and here is our first look at the LG G7 ThinQ.

Sort by:

notch + chin = waste of space...specs = every other phone. And talking about high quality audio...they ditch it on eu-market, so no selling point. Go get yourself together LG!

      I have had LG HD880, G1, G1 pro, G2 and G5
      Skipped G6 as it did not offer anything over G5
      Awaited for G7, thinking that new executives will get their sh*t together, and what I was awaiting for??

      1um pixels? LG you are insane!!
      1/3" 16Mpix old Sony sensor, ???
      3000mAh battery for 6.1" screen size phone. Really, you could not fit a bigger battery??
      No stereo speakers!
      So you cut the cost on the main phone feature such as camera and to deliver insane high resolution screen that nobody needs or wants!!

      You made a mediocre phone with no competitive advantage above any other competitor

      You guys are nuts. All it needed was to follow the trends and sense what crowd want and we were keep telling you what we want.

      Your mobile division deserves to go bankruptcy. I have been LG user for 7 years but no more.

            LG has the absolutely best sound quality, if you have the right headphones.

              Nowhere premium .. looks like usual Oppo zoppo Vivo Phones

                "No stand out feature", right. Wide angle camera, boombox and quad DAC do not seem enough of stand out feature to you.

                      I have never owned LG but it's not going to be now either. 3000ma battery - Out of the question. Too bad because the phones are good, but battery life is fundamental for me.

                        LG starts in G series with 2.5D ... DISPLAY IS BLURRY, BECAUSE THICK GLASS!! Compare G7 and G6 - older model are crystal sharp. When this stupid thick glass fashion will end?

                          It is depressing to see that instead of putting sensors of greater size and more quality, they keep the usual tiny and cheap, so in low light they have no choice but to resort to the trick that One Plus uses and cousins to put four pixels together one and give you a ridiculous photo of just 4 Mb ... and then present it as a novelty just like One Plus did ... That's only acceptable when you're using at least four sensors of the same resolution or multiples of them.

                          Aside, while now the competition use stereo speakers, they present a mono speaker with an exotic name to hide the lack of the stereo feature. Where is the led of notifications? In such a big phone why not put a bigger battery? I bet that the next year at this day in May the G7 will still waiting for Android P.

My laptop, "MSI GE 62" has a 4K TN panel, which is of course, worse for calibration and viewing. But the color accuracy, gamut and brightness is far the best that I have recently seen from all OLED phones. Then my TV, Sony X8000E has a 55inch LCD screen, but 4K!!!!


                            If all companies can make OLED on their phones , they why not others?
