Hands on: LG G8 ThinQ review

 

More evolution than revolution from LG's 2019 Android flagship

Innovative Crystal OLED Sound ; Vast audio features ; Punchy, high-contrast OLED screen

Seemingly temperamental motion gestures ; All-too-familiar physical design

LG G8 ThinQ review: Safe design lacks that special something

 

Ultimately, for all LG's efforts the LG G8 struggles to be class-leading in any area. That results in a phone that's, well, fine - but not special.

Design and build is safe ; 3.5mm headphone socket ; Some fun camera features ; Can make big sound ; Face Unlock is slick

Limited battery life ; Camera can't keep pace with the best ; Software additions mostly unnecessary ; Air Motion gesture control feels niche

Ultimately, for all of LG's efforts, the LG G8 struggles to be class-leading in any area. That results in a phone that's just, well, fine - but also not special.

LG G8 ThinQ review

 

Eight ain't quite great, unless you're gaga for gimmicks

Slick design with pebble-like smoothness ; Performance and battery life mostly on par with the competition ; Extensive feature list

Awkward availability in the UK ; Camera picture quality a step behind big-name rivals ; Speaker tech is clever, but doesn’t sound all that great ; Gesture controls are pure gimmick

The G8 should be a tempting piece of forbidden fruit, but a few gimmicks just aren’t enough to make importing one worth the effort for UK buyers

LG G8 ThinQ review: LG's flagship can't beat the Galaxy S10E

 

The LG G8 is a solid phone, but without any standout features, it doesn't beat Samsung.

The LG G8 ThinQ has a bright, sharp screen, a second wide-angle rear camera and a fast processor. It's also water-resistant and has a headphone jack -- a rarity among premium phones.

The phone's touchless hand controls are annoying to use. Portrait mode for video isn't very smooth or natural-looking.

The LG G8 ThinQ is an objectively great phone, but with a high price tag and no standout features, it's not great enough to beat the Galaxy S10E.

LG G8 ThinQ

 

The G8 ThinQ has plenty going for it, but unfortunately not in the areas that count for most consumers, and gimmicky touchless controls don't make up the difference.

LG G8 ThinQ review

 

Even though the name states otherwise, the G8 ThinQ is actually a minor hardware refresh of last year's LG G7 ThinQ. Sure, it has the brand new Snapdragon...

Great design, premium materials and stunning color options.

The big notch is out of sync with 2019 trends.

Unfortunately, it's not all sunshine and roses. The Crystal Sound OLED panel's sound quality isn't the best we've seen. The 3D ToF-enabled features, except for the excellent portrait selfies and the Face Unlock, feels downright gimmicky. The Hand ID...

LG G8 ThinQ review: A wasted opportunity

 

LG's new G8 ThinQ packs the performance you'd expect from a modern flagship phone and, as usual, it's a great option for people who care about smartphone sound quality. Beyond that, there's little here to set it apart from this year's early crowd of...

Sleek design ; Bright 6.1-inch display ; Sounds great with headphones ; Solid performance

US model has two instead of three cameras ; Lackluster speaker ; Hand ID is finicky ; Air Motion gestures aren’t very useful
