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.

[@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.

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.

[@KingFlyBrian]

Forreal!!

[@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

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

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

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

[@DOMg00g]

Best review yet. Keep it up, Juan!

[@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.

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

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

[@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

[@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 🙂

[@prabinpaudel5572]

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

[@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

[@Mkhamesti]

u just won a subscriber great review finally ❤

[@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

[@KingFlyBrian]

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.

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

[@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.

[@Oriolus1]

Thanks juan now im waiting my g7 coming soon

[@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

[@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.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

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.

[@NeXMaX]

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$.

[@MonJahrenel]

Now this is a proper review. New subscriber here!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

The phone is too much fun not to take seriously 😁

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

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

Do you know why the g7 doesn't have the multi-line feature (digits app) built in? Digits was embedded in both the g6 and the v30. I wish this was also the case with the 67!

A great review! Well done.

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 :-)

[@mikemarcum1557]

Have you tested the speaker with a phone case? Curious to know if it still sounds as good.

[@mrtech2259]

Ridiculously good video!! Amazing!! 👍👍

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

[@zerospecs2331]

@JuanBagnell The "designated music players"- which ones were you holding exactly?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I current have a Fiio X5 and an Echobox. Poor android devices, but GREAT audio hardware.

[@MrSamibulin]

Awesome review. Nice and in depth. 👍

[@StingnB]

You're a good reviewer. Keep it up!

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 👍

[@randino1968ra]

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

[@BBBGUTTURALSLAMMER666]

Lmmfao that conclusion tho 😂 great video man

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Had a little fun with that...

[@BBBGUTTURALSLAMMER666]

Yeah a lot of people are programmed to consume what is mainstream

[@supertigerman013]

2:38 I disagree. Many RGBW display uses pentile matrix pixel arrangement just like OLED panel for easier manufacturing thus to save costs, and that worsens clarity. So the effect resolution wouldn't be as high as normal IPS display.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I mean, I showed the actual pixel arrangement on this phone, so you're disagreeing against a fact. By the very name,the definition of "RGBW", it can't be "pentile".

[@supertigerman013]

Oops, I think I made a mistake here... The pixel arrangement on this display seems to be slightly different from what is on my Mate 10's display which also has RGBW display (I just compared your photo to what's on GSMArena's review on Mate 10). My bad, please forget what I just said.

[@supertigerman013]

Oh, and I'm looking forward to your review on Huawei P20 Pro as well. Are you planning to do one in near future?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

No worries. We have a LOT of tech jargon to keep straight. I will be revisiting the P20 Pro after I review the OP6.
