The G8 just has better optimization with OLED but it's not better than LCD for battery life that's a proven fact that LCDs consume less power, plus the Snapdragon 855 is more power efficient because of the new 7nm processing power.
oled is more battery efficient for darker colours while lcd is better for lighter colours thats why apple has always used lcd for their iphones' white ui
I have a G8 ThinQ. The audio on recorded video sounds as if the set is underwater. Some would describe it as tinny, but this audio is different in that it adds a wobbly unsettling noise like a sound effect from a horror movie. The only way to fix this is to use Open Camera instead of the built-in camera app. In Open Camera, go to Settings > Video settings > Audio source > Unprocessed. Changing this will make audio sound natural. Using Open Camera may not be a fix because you're sacrificing all the features of LG's app. I've used many iPhones in the past, and none had this problem so far. I hope LG is reading this.
Great usable side by side review! It was incredibly helpful to see both phones in action side by side as you took both phones though your paces of production and gaming apps as well as camera usage. I agree with you that there is not enough difference between the LG G7 and the LG G8 but in my case I have to replace my G7 and my carrier (t-mobile) is running an excellent sale on the G8's right now (BOGO Free). So, for me it's a great purchase since both my daughter and I need new phones. Well done! I'd love to see more of these types of reviews.
Thanks for the video. I was debating G7 or G8. I think I'll go for the G8. I have a V40 thinq. The low-light videos out on the street actually look better on the G7.
Thanks for the test. I could care less about speed. I just wanted to know if the camera was a huge leap. And it’s not. In my opinion I think the g7 has better low light performance and the g8.
Lg today it's hard to find at major retailers in Switzerland, after V30 all top devices are really good and with 3D face unlock ....battery and updates are the possible issues...
Nice REAL vid. I have a LG G6 and this is Just the video I wanna see. If not G8 then which one of the V series should I uograde to? (*uk only please?) 👍
Screen is not nicer than G8. G7 white is pure compared to G8 and many other phones. I hate that greyish white on most phones. G7 is pure white and very bright even without the boost. Everyone talks about deep blacks but I hate dull white on a phone. I have a Note 9 and prefer the G7 screen over that also and it has a great screen for watching content... AND with better audio too than G8.

I was surprised myself, but G7 has super bright mode which G8 doesn't. in my opinion G7 is too bright while G8 is too dark. not sure if it is just my phone. regardless, I still think G8 does a better job overall and handles the bright lights better
They are properly rated for what they deserve. No pie update on last year flagship until now. Is that a joke? Even LG don't take their smartphones seriously, how could they expect it to customers then?

I was outside having a cigar and watching your evaluation on my G8. First LG phone I have had. I picked it up sealed with a Speck Presidio case delivered $500. The only downside is it was locked to T-MOBILE. Which I use. It is a great device for what I spent. As an earlier post said. An underated device. At list price. It's still a good device. And noticed. A week or so later the general price for what you would spend increased. Do I think it's camera and display are as good as the S10. No, but not a lot worse. I also think the large UA-cam evaluators had a negative or neutral stance can be do to bias or some relationship with other brands comes in. I generally don't buy carrier phones. But at the price I can live with it. I think TMO put 3 apps on the G8. Which I use, except for the Hotspot app which can be disabled and just redirects you to the phones feature. Getting used to the buttons doesn't take long to get used to. And prefer the power button to the S10+. Thank you for your evaluation.
Is the G7 running Pie? BTW these stupid "benchmarks" are doing nothing more than noting the eMMC storage performance differences and that would be because the G7 has 64GB whilst the G8 has 128GB. Larger SSD = Faster/greater throughput.
ill be getting the pixel 3a for dad. Was considering the G8 for him since its cheapo on tmo but then tmo's ridiculous new trade in offer with the pixel 1 ($400 billing credits) to pixel 3a lol
I have a 3a coming in for my Fi line, using a Moto z3, which I got for like almost nothing between selling a few older devices and credits from BB. I didn't order the XL version because all of my phones are large, wanted something smaller for a change up. I did do one of those TMO scheme's, needed another line, her ip7 was starting to fail (not interested in phoneOS arguments). Basically she traded in a broken ip7, she got the 10Xr I paid like $40 extra to up her to 256gb, they had one left in red which is the color she wanted. In my case it works out, she had it since last fall. Bought my 3a through Fi, should come sometime this weekend. Not in a rush. I did have like $30 in equipment credit do to some logistical problem with not being able to receive incoming calls.. So basically it paid the sale tax, and get $100 credit towards my Fi line, which means free service for 4 months. I bought my G8 brand new locked to T-Mobile for $500 which included a Speck case, which seems to go for about $26. on Amazon but using a Spigen Tough Armor which I use on most of my phones. Sadly Spigen doesn't have their full line of cases for the G8. If you can snag a G8 for $500, I would get that over the 3a. And nice birthday present either way.
I'd get an LG phone over a pixel ANYDAY... no learning curve or knowledge of tech needed. Wide angle is easy to use. Best bang for your buck EVERYWHERE!
Yes, upgrade! It's worth it for the battery, newer version of OS, screen, go to swappa.com and get a deal on it. I like it because of the contacts on LG phones let you have unlimited characters in the notes section in the contact. Samsung phones limit you. Thanks for the review.
@@elijak8263 it is really excellent also for the price it has but I would prefer the normal version with the quad dac, sound oled and better performing cameras
Got my G7 few days ago. Bought it like brand new second hand for only 270€, sadly G8 amd V40/V50 not coming in scandinavia.. If someone sell there G8 here in sweden, i'll buy it. Waiting few months tho for cheaper price ;}
@@FranciscoGuevarra Exactly and at $500 delivered to my home with a US warranty from LG and T-Mobile I jumped on it. Most people want unlocked, most people want the red color.

The latest update for the g7 made its ram management worse. But the battery life is better. It sucks though having to load each app again.
Yeah, i did notice that when i go to home screen then go to app drawer click the app that i already open, it will open again as from the start
Thanks for making this video. I found it helpful. You seem like a nice smart guy.
The G7 speaker is causing so much vibration the G8 is actually vibrating away. That's some power.
you have to check v40 vs v50 speed once the v50 releases, because for some reason even the g8 seems too old now
In the video test the G7 was picking up the street noise and the G8 was picking up the background noise
The G8 is the funniest phone on the table).
Also, it seems like there's something wrong with the microphone in G8
Because the sound comes out of the screen
G7 still banging.
G7 did better with lighting on camera test
Did you do something wrong with the G8 audio? Because it sounds terrible, like it was the lowest possible quality settings..
When you do the speed tests why don't you sent them on the table? Super annoying with the phones moving around like that.
7:39 What's that idiotic part of the movie? Phone sound test, but the music in the video is in the background
Good review i really do like your speed tests hands down
The facial recognition on the G8 works flawlessly even in the dark
I haven't had a very good experience with it, it's too inconsistent for me
It's thanks to the ToF sensor, amazing

Don't think so as full screen in yt goes over the notch
Yes, upgrade! It's worth it for the battery, newer version of OS, screen, go to swappa.com and get a deal on it. I like it because of the contacts on LG phones let you have unlimited characters in the notes section in the contact. Samsung phones limit you. Thanks for the review.
WIN Speaker G7 or G8 ???
both suck but they are loud both
@@MikeleKonstantyFiedorowiczIV i disagree with you, they are both good they have dts surround and hifi quad dac
theyre both good,but the g7 is way better and has a good bass
@@ervineucana1433 he talking about speaker in phone not minijack hole
why is LG slipping? (All the videos)
ghosts
On a lot of of the app tests it looked like the G7 was forced to load them from memory, while the G8 still had them in RAM. Not a fair test.
What is the best sound??
External speaker I think the G7 wins
Watching the vídeo again i must say, the colors have more contrast on g8
How do you get fortnite
could you tell me which regions have the triple room? and if you know who also sells in Italy pls
The italian version is very nerfed
Why nerfed? It is not.
@@elijak8263 it is really excellent also for the price it has but I would prefer the normal version with the quad dac, sound oled and better performing cameras
@@ChopGamers Camera differences are marginal. I prefer the G8s because it has a better battery performance as it is a FHD screen.
Is g8 smaller then g7
How did the G7 get louder than the G8 ???
yeah odd, but they changed their sound design for the worse. mkbhd and others have spoken more in-depth on exactly why
@@PhoneBattles no one set up the speaker before talking trash about it's sound did you even bother to change the settings
7:00 well yes you can. Just cange it in settings. (Im watching this on my g7 so i know 😅) bruh
Got my G7 few days ago. Bought it like brand new second hand for only 270€, sadly G8 amd V40/V50 not coming in scandinavia.. If someone sell there G8 here in sweden, i'll buy it. Waiting few months tho for cheaper price ;}
G7 is better.
@@KR-nm6wm for the price yes, so when G8 drop that price as low as G7. G8 wins!
@@FranciscoGuevarra Exactly and at $500 delivered to my home with a US warranty from LG and T-Mobile I jumped on it. Most people want unlocked, most people want the red color. Since I use that carrier, prefer black and case my phones it didn't make a difference to me, in about a month, my carrier will unlock it when I put in the request.
On the lg g5 love the interchangeable battery feature which I personally think should of been kept on their new models. One of their best feature
Just bought the g8. I can't complain.
Why your g8 have 3 cameras???
it's the south korean variant, USA version has 2. no other changes besides that.
What version of Android is the g7 running on
Oreo
Lolipop
Why G8 have 3 camera's? Don't two?!
mine is korean version which has 3
G7 plus 17000 and G8 is 40000 is there any big difference in both mobile phones performance??????
Plz somone reply
g7 plus would be a much better value for your money. given those prices I'd say G7 plus.
@@PhoneBattles thank you for your suggestion
