LG G7 ThinQ review

03 July 2018
LG is finally releasing a G-series phone with the latest Snapdragon - yay! Regardless whether we have some supply chain optimization or LG's product planning to thank, the fact of the matter is the G7 ThinQ is now available internationally and it's a proper high-end device.

    I love my lg g7 thinq. It is reliable and takes great pictures. I love all the features and the apps are easy to find. This phone is so good that I am deeply disappointed that lg is not going to make phones any more. I don't think I will ever find a phone that I like as much as this one!

      The most unreliable phone got dead within 3 years.

        Deanie, 29 Jul 2023Totally agree, picked up a pristine one for £70, purely to ... moreOh ya - it's also built like a tank

          Mitch, 14 Jul 2023It's 2023 and I'm using it since 2018, no problem... moreTotally agree, picked up a pristine one for £70, purely to use as a DAP for my high end IEMs (Campfire, Noble, FATfreq...).

          Independent measurements have shown the ESS Quad DAC to perform at the level of a desktop DAC at several hundred dollars and with a SD 845 chip it's way faster and more responsive than even a £2,000 DAP from Astell&Kern (at best an SD 665).

          Best kept secret in both mobile and personal audio industries,

            It's 2023 and I'm using it since 2018, no problems at all.
            Still races well vs other phones, not to mention extra features that most of the phones don't have. Audio Ram DAC is a gem ! I bought Motorola G100 last year and it's still in the box...
            I was never so much attached to any other phone before as for G7 Thinq.
            It's a pity that LG stopped making phones.

              As someone who already owns a powerful main smartphone (LG v50), this G7 specifically, priced below at $80 in my country Philippines, this will be officially my backup phone.

              LG phones are completely reliable despite having ther not so good battery life phones.

                Mobxpert, 26 Jul 2021I am still using it.. please check your 4G network provider... moreLG did this, they make bootloop phone so nobody want it anymore.
                Even the G7 USA version get this error.

                  Yeah I'm Getting this Phone From Airtalk Wireless With ACP And Lifeline Combo Hopefully it's the same one as described I Heard there's Different Ones Of this Phone But People saying it's battery sucks I'm like I don't care I don't need very long battery I can Determine What's killing it and remove it and Find ways to save battery Better I'm using a Device from SafeLink and It's a TracFone It's a Blu View 2 and funny it's battery is a 3,000 mah and it survived all day it's also depending on how strong the phones current pull is and if the battery is going bad or not

                          Mobxpert, 26 Jul 2021indeed.. it is very rare to see phones with 564 ppi display... moreYa, Thats true. Thanks for reply. I just cant explain the joy of having this device as main. Well, I know soon or later, I will have to change my device due to security reasons on work profile. Adding to that, the camera bump is so thin that i caught scratches on main camera lens, Ultra wide is fine. I went to many service centres but not able to find the replacement of rear camera glass only. So Sad that it is monsoon here and i am not able to click what i wanted. Please let me know if you find the replacement. Thanks already.

                            Mobxpert, 26 Jul 2021I am still using it.. please check your 4G network provider... moreSorry. It is MLCD+ Display.. That was a typo in my comment

                              Muzik, 22 Mar 2021Wow! What an experience of this device. It is been 2.5 year... moreindeed.. it is very rare to see phones with 564 ppi display.

                              It is also Dolby Vision Supported Display.. which means it is capable of producing 68 billion colours (ALSO called as 12 bit color)

                              HDR10 Can produce only 10bit color..

                                Pradhuman Singh, 07 Jun 2021It's 3years and more now and still not a single demeri... moreMe too.. high-five

                                  Ironcraft, 24 Jul 2021Is this phone still good for 2021? I am still using it.. please check your 4G network provider bands in your area..

                                  It still beats many phones in 2021


                                  I have been using this phone Since 6th January 2019 and this phone still rocks.

                                  These are the list of Cool Features that are not found in most of the phones today.

                                  Highest Main Camera Aperture f/1.6 (Very Good for lowlight photography with Gcam mod)
                                  Brightest Display 1000 nits (peak brightness on boost mode) - Very clear screen on direct sunlight. (World's brightest smartphone display when it was launched in May 2018)
                                  2K MLCP+ Display which also has 564 ppi density .. (you wont find many phones more than 500+ ppi density even in 2021)
                                  Only phone at this price with MILSTD-810G Certified Drop and weather protection.
                                  Far-Field communication - Powerful Microphone
                                  Loudest speaker 78.3 dB
                                  IP68 Water Resistance
                                  Hi-Fi Quad DAC Audio Support (with Poweramp's Bass extreme mode, it is next level audio experience)
                                  Very very thin Camera bump
                                  Supports 4G VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling Since 2018 (if your mobile network has these network features)
                                  Supports Google AR Core
                                  LG Camera app has many AR Stickers (Augmented Reality as in iPhone 12)
                                  LG Camera Supports 10bit HDR Video Recording and it is better with micro24fps camera app
                                  It has Wireless Charging feature too
                                  All these amazing features are packed in a phone which weighs just 162 grams.


                                  But the sad thing is that Stupid people choose shitty phones based on the Ads and those phones become popular..
