Thank you so much! Just got this after my Galaxy S7. I'm 71 years old and all this new technology is not second nature for me. My grandkids can't understand rotary dial/party line phone service when I tell them about it. I'm watching KZbin videos to figure the phone out and learning a lot. Of course I have to watch it multiple times. 😲

Thanks so much for an incredible video. LG should license this from you. I already knew a great deal about my G8, but you sent my knowledge of the phone into the stratosphere! Thanks again

[@davidmartrano1549]

This g8 is the only phone on the market that rival's the s10+'s display technology. If you can purchase the g8 for 620.00 bucks it's a very good deal. This is an audiophile's dream phone with the 32bit DAC! Very good review, always informative per usual!

[@othmaneaouioued8768]

the iphone also can but it's a samsung display

[@judenjilah7996]

True! Despite the negative reviews by some KZbinrs, I think the phone is the best value for money flagship out there. Switching from an S10 there's very little that you'll miss, and there are unique features that you'll also love on it

[@davey3765]

I put a Star Wars blu ray rip I made with the DTS 7.1 HD Master Audio preserved on the phone; got my Bose QC15 headphones turned on the quad dac and bumped the bass just slightly. HOLY S---T!

Bless you sakitech and your Universe.

the KZbin needs one of these videos for the v50....not dual screen. can you do one plz

[@MrRootlinux]

I am actually excited about the LG G8x. For the first time in years LG is on my radar again. Any manufacturer that says they don't have room for a 3.5 is lying. They are just pushing the cost of their bluetooth headphones up. Look at the rise in Beats and Airpods since Apple removed the 3.5. Samsung is doing the same. At least Samsung supports all codecs unlike Apple.

[@greenvortex7]

Thank you for this amazing and wonderful video. My LG G5 has served me well but the power button seems to not work anymore. Found a few videos to suggest and got it to work a bit with hard pressing but now not working - so have been looking at the LG G8. I migrated to LG after my Blackberry Passport SE which I still love but the G5 did become my daily driver and great greatly enjoy the LG experience due to such customization and many things that actually come included that I found other phones do not do. Especially excited they still have the headphone jack on this phone and all these great features you have shown. The best video on KZbin I have seen that really goes into detail and very straight forward. Excellence!!! New subscriber. Much continued success in all your endeavors.

[@endrizo]

Im still using my old and trusty G5 with the B&o hi fi module..worked fine these 4 years of daily heavy use...now having some screen ghosting and old battery i have 3 batteries all almost dead...time to retire it and replace it with a G8.

[@greenvortex7]

@@endrizo Ah yeah I have been using the G8 as a main phone for some time. And soon after I actually found a great used G5 listed on BHphoto so went down right away to get it. Though the G8 is my daily driver. If planning a trip or certain photo video moments I take both. The G5 features they took out ..missing on the G8 that I use often are: multicam for video! Why they took that out makes no sense to me. Also "time-lapse" is gone but just today I found out you can install it via download for free at LG Smartworld. Again why not just make it standard with the phone. I checked if they had a download for multicamera recording and no. So for any multicam video I may want to do I will still have to use the G5. Hopefully they may fix this with an update or make a download on the LG Smartworld to add Multicam function native again. I still have 3 batteries and quite satisfying to still be able to change batteries.

[@endrizo]

@@greenvortex7 install "framelapse pro" app from the play store. Works fine. . the problem with batteries is that they were all made in 2016...even brand new not used ones are old and dont accept much charge. Batteries limit phones life. If not i would keep using my G5 till it dies. The G5 proved to be a great phone it had it all.

[@greenvortex7]

@@endrizo I guess you missed my statement that I had just the other day found out online through research there is a "timelapse" for the LG8. It is free from LG - in camera when you navigate to more click on the download button in the top right corner and that will take you to LG Smartworld where it is there for downloading and will appear in the more section or however one sets their phone categories. Yes hear you on the G5 and still loving the G8 especially great audio and the manual photo/video and cine video options! If they bring back the multi-camera option hopefully with just a download such as "timelapse" is available from the LG Smartworld...it would be perfect. Actually no ...there should be a way to turn off that insane AI tagging feature..

[@richarddelinski1489]

I just got my G8 this past Friday. So far, it's been great. The most useless features on it are the hand/ palm unlock. It's not too accurate and takes much more time to use than face/ fingerprint unlock. The other useless feature is that air motion. Why is it even there? So what, you can open your choice if two preselected apps. Then what? Wow, my app is open. Hmm, I can't seem to preform a search on KZbin by moving my hand around. Is there a secret way to teleport our hands maneuvers to pick and choose videos? Or to do anything else once the air motion opens the apps... Seems silly when I can simply press the KZbin icon and then type in the search. Other than my rant above this phone is the best phone I've ever owned. Thanks for your tips and tricks video. Nice job. 😀

[@JKTaylor115]

I use the hand unlock when my phone is laying on charger pad on my desk

[@faile66]

It is real useful for me: I'm on KZbin a lot while I do dishes, garden, and other stuff where my hand are icky. Nice that now I can pause my video (so often with kids!) change the volume, answer a call, etc without having to stop everything I'm doing and wash/dry hands. Sure, not earth shattering for everyone, but diff stuff for diff folks. I don't care about sound quality for example, but this is part is huge for me. And yes, it is really that effortless to use.

[@itechhen]

Tip #1... Yeah LG gives options and then takes them away. Unfortunately, LG stupidly forces users to turn off both dark mode and high contrast mode in the settings before allowing the use of the 'new second screen" or hide notch feature! Why? Because it's a half baked after thought, makes no sense but that's how it is. The Show lock/hide button on the left bottom and the rotate button on the bottom right of the navbar is really sweet though.

Price at One plus 7 pro s and T's, LG g8s gem of a phone. Its more fluidic than much hyped One plus. G8 camera s are not as great as Samsung flagships, pixels or iPhones but still offer much better setup than chinese. LG g8 has best video recording setup and one can make fantastic documentaries, small movies and recordings rivaling professional video eography machineries which no other smartphone manufactures can come near. LG needs to push there phones in market on grand scale.

[@Luvand4GiveOthers]

@sakiteh and his followers, I feel like I found a hidden featureon the LG 8 thinq thank you. I will try to explain this the best I can concerning the app drawer and putting icons in alphabetical order. First one wants to go into settings, then press on the home touch button. Next select the gestures and button style. Once one selects this style he/she will see oval-shaped home button and a < symbol on the right close to the home button. Once u press on the oval shaped home button three options should pop up in there place. U should see a easy mode button, home button or home and app drawer button. Select the home and app drawer. This will give you a home screen and when you swipe up you should see your app drawer. once you are in your app drawer in the top right-hand corner you will see 3 tiny vertical tap on that and there you should see where you can put your apps in alphabetical order. This will also work when you install new apps. I hope I explained everything correctly if not these directions are pretty close to getting you to where you want to be if you want your apps in your app drawer to be in alphabetical order. Also this will not work if you have a larger installed onto your phone you will have to uninstall the launcher if you want this to work.
