LG G7 ThinQ Review: It's Worth It.

[@spinkick9270]

Funny thing just occurred to me how extremely different and exciting this review was. Maybe this is the story/review/honesty LG was hoping for, maybe somewhere in South Korea an LG exec is crying in his office saying we love Mr Carlos this is what we've been trying to tell people. Really great work Mr SGG.

[@NeXMaX]

BTICronox The problem is that people are allured to the insane production values of those channels to the point where all the other guys like Damir or Juan get pushed to the sidelines. I cringe whenever they say "they needed to stand out with a glass phone" because that's not practical, alongside the whole "premium feel" thing. Even worse is when people angrily comment, saying they're wrong because "Popular Reviewer X said it's great. You don't know what you're talking about". I own a Note8, and it's served me really well so far. But it's important to get a bigger picture. I remember watching one video about the Huawei Mate10 Pro and there's so much wrong information in there that I wonder why did he bother to push it out. I get wanting to appeal to a broad audience but maybe some of those don't care for iPhones or Galaxy phones or Huaweis.

[@NeXMaX]

I actually prefer the satin finish on the P2 but I think most of the G5's controversy stemmed from the claim that it was metal. I wouldn't mind at all if they made a G5 with that satin finish, albeit done in a way that doesn't wear off easily Believe it or not, I would rather have that satin finish on my phone than glass. Glass is my personal least favorite material for a phone, but everyone is jumping onto that bandwagon because apparently, tech bloggers love it. That's in the condition that it lasts. If it wears off easily, no thanks.

[@NeXMaX]

BTICronox Oh, I'd love that.

[@NicholasCollignon]

[@Crisheight]

I skipped everyon else's LG reviews, but you've got an awesome history with 'em and it's totally worth the time.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Right on :-)

[@joseg8747]

You should also check out flossy carter's g7 review he is also great and very entertaining

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Floss should ALWAYS be on the watch list. He is NOT getting the views he should be these days.

[@Crisheight]

JuanBagnell yo I've been following him since forever too but recently he dropped outta my sub box zzz I'll have to start using that bell.

[@Cathandroo]

JuanBagnell love your review. Have you stopped collaboration with PocketNow?

[@ApexLodestar]

I remember watching this review on my V10 wishing to own the G7. Now I'm watching this review on my beautiful LG G7 ThinQ. Life is good. 📱🎵

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Nice upgrade! Congrats on the new phone 👍

[@ApexLodestar]

@JuanBagnell Thanks so much! My goodness the Hi-Fi Quad DAC is audio nirvana. I can't even listen to MP3 anymore. FLAC is so crisp. The G7 is truly underrated. Despite the 3000mAh battery, I've managed to get 7 hours of on-screen time and nearly 9 hours overall without battery extended mode. The notch isn't as bad as folks make it out to be even though I choose to mask it. Excellent 2018 LG flagship device.

[@xxBlackpspxx]

Dark Angel Rafael I wonder if you notice a difference in streaming services like Google music. And with mediocre headphone like the ATH M50x because that is how I listen my music. Also considering this phone, I could get it for 515 Euros it seems like a good deal. Better than the OnePlus 6

[@ApexLodestar]

xxBlackpspxx I don't really listen to streaming music often. I prefer FLAC audio files for music listening. However, the Tidal app offers lossless audio Hi-Fi streaming. The Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X is currently less than $80 if it's within your budget.

[@ApexLodestar]

xxBlackpspxx Additionally, when listening to Amazon music, the LG G7 ThinQ Hi-Fi Quad DAC does enhances the audio when headphones are used. Sound is much louder, more crisp and overall better than without it. Not to mention the DAC software has lots of customization options to fine tune your audio experience.

[@spinkick9270]

I've watched plenty of cellphone and tech related reviews with awesome graphics and graphs but none of them spoke to me like this one here. You truly deserve a bigger audience. I say these things because few spew honesty like you.

[@integrazimmy]

Bradley Petersen YUP!! And so I just subscribed!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@spinkick9270]

integrazimmy enjoy his work.

[@DuragVince-]

Great review. Thanks, Juan. On a side note, people don't know what it's like to have good audio on a smartphone. The quad-dac truly completes the LG package and I pray they never get rid of it....it's what separates them and makes them so unique. Thumbs up for the review. You nailed it. On to check out your audio review.

[@chasebarber10]

No joke, BTSxLG G7 ThinQ ad came on. So happy they released the Eng sub version. Came here to see if I'd actually want to buy the phone. Thanks for giving such a well-done review.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@yasiamd1626]

Because of BTS I’m getting this phone lmao

[@sabeehsaqib]

These reviews are Crazy Good 👍

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

🙂

[@skyarsenallll]

Was looking for his review on pocket now 🙁

[@sabeehsaqib]

Sky Arsenal subscribe to this Channel. He uploads here regularly

[@integrazimmy]

Sky Arsenal Yeah, me too! I'm glad I found it! It will just be a matter of time before all the subscribers of PocketNow roll over into this channel!!! Great job Juan Carlos Bagnell!!!

[@KingFlyBrian]

Forreal!!

[@coquit-shirts5058]

I swapped Galaxy S9 Plus for LG G7 ThinQ, the speaker and the wide lense are freaking awesome!! Love this 📱😍 the best thing , the price $18 a month with sprint flex

[@pinakapanget4560]

A lot of reviewers downplay or not even mention burn in. My s7 edge got burn in after daily use as my gps via Google maps, of course, with "adaptic lighting" when its sunny, the screen maximizes the brightness which made it prone to burn in. That made it unusable as a daily driver. I still enjoy the screen of my s7e but its never gonna be the same. :sad:

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I had some issues with the S7 for that exact same reason. I don't think it's a deal breaker, and I still LOVE OLED contrast, but I think we should be honest about what the pros and cons of a technology might be.

[@pinakapanget4560]

JuanBagnell oh yeah still love the blacks but so annoyed whenever I sew the speed limit on the white backgrounds 🤣

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

LOL

[@121dodgers]

The waze "report" bubble burned into my s7e... - _-... Still love this phone... Has been quite versatile for me. I like to think my old is superior... Even years later. But thanks for putting into perspective for all of us...

[@katsuragikeima8809]

Clous von my v20 is prone to image retention. which feels weird as i didn't have this issue with other LCD screens

[@picattiu4813]

Glad to see somegadget guy review again

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

:-D

[@lionelb8227]

That is a great review! LCD is as good as OLED if not better (every technology has its strengths and weaknesses). I talked to someone who told me that the screen on the V30 is better than the one on the G7 just because it is an OLED... 😂 This phone, the U12+ and the XZ2 are really great phones in my opinion.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

That's what I hate about tech fads. It just becomes a meme that "you want OLED" or "glass = premium". We lose all the nuance of pros and cons.

[@Niblauss]

JuanBagnell | Speaking of under appreciated tech and brands.. Will you be reviewing the XZ2? I miss your in depth reviews camera and audio reviews :)

[@lionelb8227]

Clous von I've used OLED and LCD. I always go back to LCD because apart from the deep blacks LCD is as great as OLED. But LCD has the benefit of being more durable (no burn-in, etc...) and black levels are still increasing on LCDs.

[@lionelb8227]

That would be the first time I hear about burn-in on LCD screens. Are you sure this is not just image persistence? It's just temporary, I had this on my SHIELD K1 sometimes and it goes away instead of burn-in which is permanent.

[@katsuragikeima8809]

Clous von i have a v20. it's image persistence (temporary). *though the v20's screen is shit in that dept

[@MattiasVerduijn]

I got my G6 for half the release price, and I think it's one of the best phones I've ever had (I usually buy cheaper phones). I'd personally wait for the price to come down, because it will!

[@masteryoh8002]

The best voice. Just listening to your voice and not even looking at the screen, i can actualy understand every single review. Still has the best screen never will suffer to amoled burn.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Been stealing tricks from voice over actors for years now ;-)

[@Sameerahuja662]

Probably the most underrated reviewer on KZbin

[@khaldounal-nuaimi3594]

Really love your reviews. No bells and whistles just you talking to the camera about all the main points we consumers care about. Thank you!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I like to keep it simple 🙂

[@jlaw50]

Dude, thank you for this review so much! I had the G4 going on like 4 years, and it was messing up the other day beyond my repair. So I was in a pinch and got the G7. Now, I didnt wanna get it (or any other phone) mainly because of the nonremovable battery because I purchased a huge battery for my G4 and didnt wanna part ways with it. But after watching this and hearing your opinion it makes me happy that I got it. So thanks again for this video! Keep up the great work.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

G4 to G7 should feel like a NICE update, especially for that audio. Get a decent pair of buds or cans. It really is a treat. I'm with you tho. I really wish we could swap batteries still.

[@Restrictted]

You are in fact the first Techtuber to give praise to an a LG phone. Glad I discovered you.

[@marlouwecastaneda5617]

He’s one of the reason why I love watching tech videos. Complete. Detailed. On point! 💪 Still love your videos even after Pocketnow.

[@Sherlock9827]

Your review was great! Your honest style was really refreshing and I love that you didn't saythe phone feels "premium" just because it has a glass back. Definitely gets a thumbs up and I hope more people find your videos! Sending you love from Argentina!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed. Yeah, still can't say I'm a huge fan of glass...

[@prabinpaudel5572]

I just ordered one brand new for around 230 dollars! ❤️

[@thrillking7228]

I love how you keep it real with us. Not some naysayer that constantly belittles a phone because it has a notch or shows bias because its not a Galaxy or IPhone. Good review. Definitely looking foward to picking this up from Cspire whenever it drops.

[@beyondfuture]

OMG it's the best G7 review Ive seen so far!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was a really fun phone to review.

[@KingFlyBrian]

Dude I love you so much because you keep it so real ! Finally someone giving LG credit where its due! All the other reviewers just mimic each other. You sound totally different. May God Bless you with 40 Million subs.

[@markschwacofer1802]

I waited until the price dropped to 500.00 on Tmobile 0.00 down 20.00 a month and the two year warranty saved me from Tmobiles extended warranty UP program. I'm still concerned about getting android P but supposedly they added a whole new upgrade service center. I'm not holding my breath. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving and even better Christmas. Thanks for the video.

[@wakin08]

This is the review this phone deserves. Other's are doing a review just because they have a review unit. Keep it up Juan!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidjohnbalce1111]

JuanBagnell, is the G7 substantially better than a V30? Especially for the screen, performance, cameras and audio performance? Would you consider it over the V30? Is it the better option? The better "Content Creator's Dream Phone"? And btw, I love your sarcasm from the conclusion. I agree that LG should be given more attention, especially for what they deliver to the table, just like you. And that's why a lot of people love your reviews including me. Keep it up and maybe more people would come to your channel because it would be a bummer for someone like you quit youtube. Thank you for giving us the information we need. Keep making great content.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Thanks for that. No, I wouldn't say the G7 is substantially better. A faster CPU and louder speaker, but the V30 is still a monster phone. A few camera settings I'll discuss in my camera review actually help the V30 eke out a win if you were looking to create from your phone.

[@davidjohnbalce1111]

JuanBagnell So? I should consider the V30 still the better phone? Regardless of the faster processor and loudspeaker? Because as you have said starting from the 820 processor from Qualcomm, it's gross overkill which just supports the argument that you don't need the incremental upgrades from their next gen processors and me personally, I prefer using headphones because of the quality that can't be replicated on a phone speakers.. I personally, don't like oversaturated photos. I still like photos and videos that resemble the scene when I took it.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's a complicated question. I wouldn't call the V30 "better", but the V still has a bit more focus on content creation than the G.

[@davidjohnbalce1111]

JuanBagnell oh, I get it. Even though I'm not a content creator I still think that I'd rather have the phone that's focused on content creation even though, the G7 is focused on courting a broader range of consumers. Although, all welcome improvements doesn't mean it's the right fit for me. But, one last question. Which would you pick for your cash?

[@davidjohnbalce1111]

Alex Alex I love his reviews, too bad that Juan has to put his Real Camera and Real Audio reviews on Patreon as he is one of the differentiators in the field. Most reviewers favor popular brands, although they are good, are somewhat biased of the brand they praise, most of the time they are the reviewers that are getting more attention and reviewers like Juan are being criticized because of his honesty towards his usage of his smartphones which really puts it to its limits therefore, giving us a wider perspective of what the phones are capable of. Not just because its the popular brand, it's the one you have to pick.

[@user-ll8un5zb8s]

".. And LCDs tend to resist burn-in.." This should be true, in theory, but as far as I know, G5, G6 and V10 etc, all of them have LCD panels, and all of them have screen burn in problems. I know it's know the same issue as in AMOLED panels, because here, after some time this burn in stuff disappears, but it's really annoying that you have to manually change temperature of your screen on a brand new phone, just so it doesn't show navigation bar or KZbin logo all the time on the top left corner for instance. I absolutely love the G series of LG, and I had every single on of them from G2 up to G6. But now, I switched to Samsung, because LG phones broke a couple of times already (G3 had a yellow screen, G5 dead motherboard, and every single G5 and G6 I had, had a screen ghosting problem). It's annoying to see that such a big company doesn't care about such an issue, and yes, it is a huge issue. Bad motherboards and screens are the thing that repelled me off these LG's, and I don't think I am coming back anytime soon.

[@NeXMaX]

Image retention is the term you're looking for

[@kepeter97]

finally somebody actually sharing their thoughts, instead of repeating what everyone else is saying. Great job! Sub won

[@Shozuki]

Wow, single handedly the best review I've seen or read ANYWHERE. Absolutely amazingly informative, Thank you.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@aswadaziz5724]

I was on the edge considering its battery life and display but your informative review confirmed my decision. Earned a sub from me. Great quality stuff

[@helloworld6228]

This guy is the only one that gives pros and cons to lg smartphone. Most reviewers only give cons and make it seems like a bad phones. For eg just bcuz lg is using and LCD screen it is a con to reviewers even though LCD are less prone to screen burn in. Thank you Juan, you are the best reviewer on a smartphone period.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed :-)

[@markschwacofer1802]

One thing i like about this phone is after you pull the notification bar down next to the bluetooth icon there is a notification icon that tells you how much battery you have left in your bluetooth headphones this is nice for my headphones that don't have apps or are supposedly only compatible with Apple.

[@isaactourand2562]

Great review, just ordered mine, should be coming some time next week

[@AgentZero037]

for the first time there is someone who shares my opinion on displays, assistants and glass phones .. thank you !!! great review btw , better than most out there , hope you expand your channel even more and upload more frequently , and hope to see a p20 pro review here

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I've got the OP6 up next but I will be circling back to the P20 soon.

[@muzammelhaquemukul7089]

Your review is so good that 18 min long video never felt boring. Very engaging.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed ;-)

[@edgzta]

I loved this review! This is the first time I ever watch a full review of yours Juan.

[@4theloveoftech]

I've been super impressed with my LG G7. Bought to do a review and I stayed with it. Not disappointing at all. Love the size and feel in my hand. As already Juan, your reviews are awesome.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I'm so happy to hear you're digging it. Even though the initial techie reactions were fairly critical, it seems like this G is finding an audience with consumers.

[@ahmedshams8807]

The only reason i was subscribed to pocketnow was because of you Juan . I am glad this channel is taking off at a good pace :D

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Nice rebuilding my old personal channel audience again 😁

[@snehitshiraguppi629]

G7 also gets 2 years warranty over Galaxy's one year!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Did not notice that!

[@nicholascincinat1281]

Wow, that's pretty much unheard of in any consumer electronics product. The only similar example I can think of is the Speed Queen washer and dryer models 3, 5, & 7 year warranties with in home parts and service.

[@NeXMaX]

They did so to alleviate the concerns brought up when the G4 and V10 bootlooped. It's a good step

[@jackiechoo]

Great review Juan! I'm subscrbing to your patereon 👏 To add regarding the speaker improvements, the ipad air 2 uses its chasis as a resonance chamber as well. You can feel it when playing music. Glad that other manufacturers are trying similar things.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It works SO well. Shocked more companies haven't done this.

[@Gravage]

Just in time, Juan. I just ordered this phone today. Good to see you doing a phone review again.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Whew!

[@NNTorious]

It's so refreshing to watch, an LG review where the reviewer isn't a blatant LG hater.

[@marvin1620]

Im using a LG G7 and I love it!

[@heartgomez1640]

I just love watching this guy. ❤️ Awesome review

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

☺️

[@Mkhamesti]

u just won a subscriber great review finally ❤

[@khaledkibria2434]

love you bro

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Aw man. Just pulled my V20 back out. I miss that form factor...

[@bprashant19]

Khaled Kibria same here, had bought my honor 8 based on Juan's review and the experience is exactly as Juan said it would be

[@khaledkibria2434]

JuanBagnell just for the quad dac I bought it instead of buying DAP. its a monster

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

V20 is a MONSTER media player. Would probably recommend an end of life V20 over most dedicated MP3 players.

[@charlottesimss9853]

If you have a compatible model you should tooootally root it and install SuperV20 rom!!! It's soooo nice to have root controls to help save battery, but the big thing is you can calibrate the screen and it gets rid of ALL the burn in

[@lonnaroses]

Thank you for the great review, subscribed right away. Lg got my attention with their stylo series (awsome budget phones). I think I'll be getting this tomorrow. Love the wide angle, couldn't care less about selfies and want to love the speakers and extra bright mode not to mention the transfer of the super dack from the V series.. Breath* can't wait.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Hope you dig it. Sounds like you're getting for the right reasons 👍

[@omegadrake6119]

I love you’re LG phone reviews you make the best 👍

[@tim00zz]

The V35 ThinQ is actually released right after this review comes up lol. Anyway thank you Juan for this awesome insight on the underrated manufacturer phone for years.

[@deleon629]

Love the screen. Compared a display unit to my Note8. Very 'easy on the eyes' and the notch has options for blocking it out. There are very few flagship models that can convince me that carrying them around with a tablet for productivity is better than trying to unrealistically use a phablet to cut corners with productivity. The g7 is definitely an exception

[@aprilknight9240]

I've loved what LG does with smartphones since my first V10 and even the G5. The modularity aside, it was a solid performer with a great camera setup. I've had the G6 and now the V30. Things I especially like that nobody else seems to do (or at least not as well): dual camera with wide-angle sensor, quad DAC, super fast and accurate fingerprint sensor with great placement, tap to wake, and even little things like weather animation on the lock screen. I do wish the V30 had a notification LED and IR blaster, though.

[@AllThingsLex]

Love the double tap on LGs! Such a small feature until you test other phones like the S9+ or iPhone and tap the screen but nothing happens...that's when I realized how magical that little gesture is.

[@darrenmorin]

I totally agree with you on merging both series and creating a BIG/Little strategy!

[@iamhassan9943]

That conclusion though! LMAO. You hit the nail right on the head. Thanks for the honesty. Bout time. We need more like you.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Got a little spicy with that one. :-)

[@yannick930]

Hello ! Thanks for the review ! i just saw a huge price drop on the g7 at 450. I have a s8 and i was wondering is buying the g7 worth it now or buying just an amp, fiio q1 mark 2 could be enough to improve my audio experience ? headphones ( Onkyo h500bt 16ohms, Denon ah d400 65 ohms, Marshall monitor 35 ohms)

[@rafaelestrada1846]

I just ordered one for $150. I don't even care that it's going to be a two year old phone soon, it looks amazing and I'm so excited to get it!

[@Anonnonon]

Loved the review, it’s just sad us your followers will not get the G7’s camera review here on KZbin.

[@Oriolus1]

Thanks juan now im waiting my g7 coming soon

[@mattriarchal]

One of the only tech reviewers who saves audio performance for last in the same way EVERYONE ELSE saves cameras for the last 1/4 of the vid

[@alexvhino]

Didn't know you have your own channel here. I always love how you review phones. More camera review please..😊

[@wascarg5341]

I just asked in one the pocket now reviews where you were and someone replied that you had your own channel Finally I found you and just subscribed Love your reviews 😃

[@ssbro3]

This must be one of the best and honest reviews i have seen! Two thumbs up!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

:-)

[@ajayrawat8792]

Wow! Never seen a more in depth review crammed into 18minutes. This is different. This is great. Your review is so practical! Need to work a bit on production quality though.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Why? I could spend a ton of time, money and effort on trying to make a phone look cinematic, or I could just talk about the phone.

[@ajayrawat8792]

JuanBagnell well, in that case I would choose the latter option.

[@DOMg00g]

Best review yet. Keep it up, Juan!

[@j4v33d]

Love your honest and practical reviews Juan !

[@jasem8221]

Well on your recommendation I got the ZTE Axon 7 ( mainly for the stellar audio combo). I still haven't found a phone good enough to replace it. This might be it. It's my bad luck since I'm unable to support you on patreon since I don't have PayPal or credit card. Always loved your in depth audio review. Great review as always Juan.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Ugh. I REALLY wish we' d gotten a follow up to the Axon 7...

[@R_DLF]

Great review! I'm considering moving from a note 8 to an LG thinq7. What type of stylus are using on the phone?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

This one kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZuqhISapKaSodk It won't replace the s-pen as an app enabled, pressure sensitive stylus. It's really nice for a fine point control though.

[@doobedi]

Have to give LG Props for their amazing work. Talking about LG software, the LG ui in my opinion is awesone, prefer it better that touchwiz and linage os anyday. I use linage os what ever it's call on my Rooted LG G4 for 2 weeks and I wanted to smash my LG but I quickly switch it back to LG UI which I do REALLY like.

[@justinemendoza9861]

Finally! A proper LG G7 review. Most reviewers won't even talk about the phone's great audio performance.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Only one of the most important defining features of the LG line.

[@paulie_tremolo]

Dude...I'd keep my expectations in check about those software updates...my G6 is still on its launch software (Nougat 7.0) bar a couple of security updates - and it's still only on last October's security patch :/ Everywhere else, I still like my G6. G7 is one sexy phone, but right now my G6 still is top dog for me. Great video as usual! :)

[@shamhosein770]

Wonderful I think I'll switch back to LG but still keep an s9 plus.

[@michaelhodges2815]

Thanks Juan, this was just what I needed. A honest review with a lot of information. I just pick up this phone from Verizon for $200 off. So all in all I think I got a good deal.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Oh! But all those reviewers said this was TOO EXPENSIVE?!?!? WAAAHHH?!?!?! ;-)

[@emanuscriptgraphics]

This is my main phone now, and I LOVE IT! Battery life is so good, not necessarily a BB phone with regards to battery life, but it's the best Android 🔋 I've had this far outside of the BB Priv.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's a monster media device. Must be a screamer coming from a Priv 👍

[@smperl0c0]

Just picked one up yesterday and so far really liking it. Had the s9+ and I'll take the notch over a edge screen anyday. Also wide lens over telephoto lens.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Do not like curved screens either. Dang I'm just getting all kinds of cranky...

[@DebraDukes]

Juan Awesome review and definitely enjoyed.I have been extremely busy with much going on and dealing with nasty cold.Also I have missed so much since I'm not on as much but since then I'm on a schedule where when you are sick sleeping weird hours.So I figured let me come on to catch up on some of my favorite KZbin Buddies. My Son is huge LG fan and loves LG devices period me I'm more of Note fan and others but i'm sure you all know this by now.I Love all Tech period and Photography and Audio etc.Awesome review and definitely enjoyed looking forward to catching up on more.Thanks so much for sharing Deb.👍

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Tech is always a fun chat 🙂

[@katsuragikeima8809]

Missed watching your reviews! Looking forward to that camera review.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Hoping I can finish it up Friday or Saturday 🙂

[@markbennett6658]

Thorough no BS review. Many of the Samsung guys would condemn this purely because of the notch. I know you’re not a lover yourself and you prefer small phones. Nevertheless you appreciate the build quality the audio and the camera. This seems overall a well thought out device. I am on the Apple side of the fence but would give this serious consideration if I was looking for an Android device

[@jortuspelatus7364]

Damn, an 18 minute-long phone review just breezes by when you know you're enjoying it. Awesome video Sir Juan!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@MorkusReX]

As usual, an amazing review! Super interesting all the way through.

[@edruiz6364]

Best review yet on this phone. I still don't like the notch but I like the audio improvements. I just wish LG would go back to a replaceable battery and metal design like the V20.

[@randino1968ra]

Great vid. Thanks for the many points covered. I subscribed.

[@davea9142]

Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card, FM Radio, Waterproofing, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes, great job LG.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Feels like a complete flagship to me 🙂

[@xkal636]

Finally a review worth watching!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

😊

[@xkal636]

I'm getting my g7 tomorrow :)

[@JustSomeGuy009]

I'm very impressed with your review style and substance. Will also mention that TMobile is providing a buy 1 get 1 free discount on the G7 and V30. Rebate is in monthly bill credits. But you don't have to "add a line". Makes both phones very good options considering they work out to be about the cost of the OP6 or a bit cheaper (after taxes and fees). I'd prefer this phone with an OLED. I get the advantage to the LCD and it looks like a nice one but still prefer the OLED colors. That and a smaller notch.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I'm hoping we see that on a V40?

[@wgates36]

You're honest and good at what you do like I said keep up the good work 👍

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

🙂👍

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

13:10 amen brother! 90% of people who use headphones, don't know what they're missing.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

No joke. It's REAL good.

andyH_England you have a good point, i still keep my iPhone 4 for the same reason you bought the V10, and i don't have Bose headphones but i have V-Modas, i used to have Audio Technicas but they died too quickly. I can't have an audio system for myself at home, only i listen to metal, orchested and EDM at home, because we are latinos. Also, i travel sometimes (with friends or by bus) and i like to have good quality audio on the go. I saw a video of a guy making tests between FLACS and MP3 and pretty much nobody whom he tested, noticed a difference between the FLAC file and a 320bps MP3, that's why i don't underrate it, but i know that audiophiles will go the extra mile and play really high bitrate audio.

andyH_England It's not a feature consumers appreciate and understand because better audio is something you have to experience

[@NeXMaX]

andyH_England and that's the thing. The DAC is very difficult to market. You can say it's great but you need to get people to try it. It's a fantastic audio performer, no doubt about that. But I know about it because I had experience. What about the guys who have only used iPhones or Galaxy phones in their lives? I know I use a Note8, but it's mostly for the stylus.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

D13H4RD2L1V3 well, i don't consider the DAC alone a selling point over other phones, but the existence of a 3.5 mm output, is something that would make me buy a phone, over another one that doesn't have it. I think the argument of the good DAC but the average rest is misleading, because LG is offering everything 2018, except for the camera quality, that it's 2017 sort of speaking, but that has to be considered when you factor the price that you have to pay for the phone. The essential phone was praised for its price and design, but IMO it was an overrated piece of average stuff without some important features, 550$ isn't cheap. LG phones decrease in value quickly, which make them a bargain as soon as they drop under 500$.

Juan I love your camera and music reviews.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Moving to my Patreon! Just published the G7 camera review today!

[@monotheng7069]

Welcome back after quite long absence. I missed your quality reviews bro. Please kindly do the review of Nokia 8 Sirocco too Subscribed to your channel :)

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you found me here :-)

[@monotheng7069]

As long as you are on youtube :D You have been one of my few favorite tech reviewers

[@AlphaRakamaTech]

Juan you nailed this review! (As always) keep up the good work bro.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

👍🙂

[@RaykingMaster]

I was really waiting for your video because I know you are different than the others KZbinrs, I do respect your opinion, I've been guessing a lot on getting the G7 since I've been a G user since G3, I have and love my G6 and don't know if I should wait for the v40 but I know that phone will be be expensive and I don't spend no more than 750 for any kind of phone so that's why I need to know if the G7 is a great update over my G6 that is been an awesome phone thanks Juan....

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's tough because the G6 was a SOLID phone. I actually like the build better on the G6, but it's one of the few times a one year upgrade might make sense. You'd be jumping TWO processor generations. So that might feel more substantial than usual.

[@RaykingMaster]

JuanBagnell thanks that's enough for me, plus you already make me decide to go for it with your video, 1000 thanks keep your videos coming I definitely enjoy it and pay a lot of attention to your reviews, thanks again ✌️👍

[@jasonmims5057]

I agree with what he said about separate the G and the V models because it feels like to me the V models have a few more features that make them slightly better than the G model which raises the question of why buy the G model. My prediction for the V40 is that it's going to be look like the G7 but with a slightly taller display and it will not have the features that have been complained about on G7 so far meaning it won't have a notch, the Google Assistant button will be able to do more than launch Google Assistant and the battery will be bigger.

[@charlottesimss9853]

I'm glad the finally fixed their burn in issues. The V20 and G5 only burned in because the color profile was so awful and blue. Once I rooted my V20 I calibrated it and all the burn in is gone and it's soooo much more accurate, I can actually edit photos on it now

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

The G7 color profile out of the box is really cool too, but they include a better screen calibration tool than the G6 had.

[@Brian_Lau]

Thanks for the review. Is the phone unlocked for all four major carriers if it is from project fi?

[@o3MTA3o]

Honest opinion, that IPS screen, what's it like in person? I'm very fond of oled screens and I want to know how this compares. I have one on order to pick up tomorrow and I might cancel it in store if the screen isn't up to snuff.

[@samuelventimiglia7327]

Loving the review and still wouldn’t seriously consider an LG device. But after hearing this review, I’d be more inclined to give LG a “shot”. As always, killer content and happy to get some exclusive content through the Patreon site.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Just bugs me when people act like there's NO reason to stray from the most popular phones, ya know?

[@samuelventimiglia7327]

JuanBagnell There is ALWAYS a reason to evaluate devices. Maybe your use case changes. Maybe you just want a change. I have an iPhone 8+, an HTC U11 and even my trusty 950. More competition is always better.

[@DarthAwar]

Fun Fact Huawei Phones are so fast to unlock as they are less secure they do not need a 80 to 95% fingerprint image but only a 50 to 60 percent accurate image of the fingerprint!!!!

[@arsidpambuku6165]

This is like THE BEST review I've seen this year. 👏👏👏

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Glad you enjoyed :-)

[@dansaghin1]

great review/video, I just got the phone today and I am impressed, a bit concerned about the battery life though.... update... the battery is good enough, impressive even for a 3000 mamps... the phone is awesome, my daily driver for at least 2 years to come

[@Paradise2Paradise]

What an awesome review. I'm still rocking my G4, but I need something that is water resistant and better in low light. This may be the cell to upgrade to. Thanks

[@rafalobo5308]

Nice review, thanks, I've almost made up my mind for this phone.

[@dugusmc]

Thanks! I am thinking of moving up from my G6 to this per the DAC/Boom sound, slightly better screen, and all the processor goodness compared to my current G6.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

One of the few year to year upgrades that might feel worth it. I still REALLY like the G6 build, but there's a lot of refinement happening this year.
