@@fbkensarhd5279 compared to the competition, LG sucks at software support, which is something you'll never see in reviews from anyone because everyone only has a review phone for a week or a few, not years. and imo not having that software support is not worth buying for a quad dac

@Angel Montes Ambriz it's not just the software im talking about, although you can see their history for how many times they've made that promise before, but their batteries are horrendous, they do not last. They will need to be replaced in less than a year, the 4gb of ram is going to make everything sluggish, it's going to overheat to Oblivion and the phone doesn't even have gorilla glass on the rear so even if you slap the most protective case on it the back is going to crack if you drop it, which absolutely kills the resale value

That’s such a niche though. 95% of people don’t need a DAC in their phone since they’re fine with whatever audio comes from a streaming service and most streaming services stream at 256 or 320, and no casual listener will even notice the difference with ear buds or whatever crappy mainstream over the ears they have.

[@krissen98]

@Theo Park First off, im only asking him to read his comments, i saw no response for eny of the comments that had good critisism. And well, i think its alot of factors to concider with ur critic to LG, one is that its not only LG having a defisit, but also, apple and many of the big phone companies, innovation in the feeld has had a major break down the last few years and that why i love to see some actuall innovation, like LG tried to do here. And also i dont think LG got the right marketing and branding or just falls short in that department compared to the apple and samsung. Also a point for me is that LG's phones is relesed in the near price range of other big flagships, and has a hard time maintaining it self with the other heavy class phones. When you see a price drop in the LG on the marked, its usually way better buy then most phones out there.

The S10e does everything better than the G8? The quad DAC? Rear mounted fingerprint with 3d facial scanning? 3500 mah battery vs 3100? 1440p screen vs 1080p screen? Quick charge 3.0 vs 2.0? $130 less at Tmobile and sprint? Dawg... your review is just BAD

[@pingwong117]

Have the S10e and the G8 is just not as appealing especially when the S10e is much cheaper. As a LG G5 owner, the Quad DAC is nothing special as long as one doesn't have something with a medium impedance. Those with low impedance (or normal stuffs) or hard-to-drive earphones/headphones won't be able to benefit from a Quad DAC. The S10e doesn't do face unlock but it has a more convenient side fingerprint sensor. The video mode of S10 sure doesn't offer a lot of tinkering but if that's a deal-breaker for you, go for the G8. I really doubt 99% of the population need a manual video mode and they should have a Pana GH5s instead. What G8 doesn't really have is the polish the S10e has. Everything works perfectly on the S10e (not other S10s) and the G8 simply can't offer the similar experience without alot of tinkering.

[@shanethompson8506]

Sorry but the s10e in my opinion is a better phone especially with the new price drops. The quad DAC doesn't really shine unless you need the amp. Unless you are using Neutron or Power amp with your FLAC files Android will upscale the files. As a person who doesn't always use files for convenience this hardly makes a difference but yes i occasionally have my favorite albums downloaded. The headphone jack on the s10 is fine and sounds great with my fiio fh5 which i did try with a v40 for awhile. I don't even use a fingerprint scanner on my phone most of the time so I look for gestures to go with , which the s10e Location is better for me. Battery size might be bigger but you are pushing a higher resolution and software that might not be able to make the optimizations. I don't shove my face in my phone so it doesn't make a difference to me. The speakers are just far better on the s10 , they sound full and the boom box setup is impractical in everyday use. Especially when you can feel it behind the glass which is annoying. ONE UI is a far better experience even than stock Android for me.Your take on this review is horrible. People will use whatever phone works for them.

LG is known for its high quality headphone jack. Many flagships have this, quote you. A feature is a feature. Would you walk up to a Pixel user and say your camera is wack because it's not as good as you RED ? No. Does that mean the user is a dumb ass buying the phone, knowing he can get a better DSLR instead ? No. The thing about this is that it's literally on your phone. You don't need to put another device in your bag just for music alone, and when you couple that with a good earpiece and the great OLED panel, it's perfect on the go. LG lost their originality, yes, but it doesn't detract from the point that this phone is just fundamentally much more than an S10E. Personally, I hated how this phone looks, but credit is due where it's deserving. I loved the V30 design, and I swear to God it is the best flagship to ever have been made if you flash it with Lineage OS. (Comparative to phones of the same time period).

[@theempires5]

@DerpyDoge There is another KZbinr out there that is comparing the G8 to a competing Galaxy S10. His name is Juan Bagnell and his video list out the pros that the G8 holds against the S10.

[@root9065]

Don't worry he never mentions that, god forbid it might put Samsung in a bad light, and if there's one thing I've learned about mkbhd is that he will always use other products to put more hype on the products he promotes. That's how we got 30 seconds of Galaxy S10 in the middle of the G8 impressions video, when he was describing a G8 feature the S10 didn't even have, while probably having the G8 on the table. Another thing you might have missed is that the last Sony Xperia review on his channel was 3 years ago. I think that shows a clear bias towards certain brands, but anyway, I digress. In the end, all is not lost, because every time he or any other tech reviewer does this, they just made sure people get to buy LG flagships for undeniable value when they are discounted 3-4 months after the launch, as someone else pointed out in another comment.

Calling the headphone jack on the s10e comparable to the LG G8 is laughable.

If you're looking at an LG you probably have some reason why you aren't looking at the market leader of Samsung, so just telling people interested in this phone to get an s10e is a bozo move.

spellz Gh just because he didn’t say anything you wanted to hear about a device you like. You just seem like a person who wants everything that is said to be perfect and the flaws to not be addressed. Like who is actually goin got use the hand gesture feature on the LG. It’s literally pointless.

He even said in a pixel 2 video that he's biased that's why he'll use it. The special treatment for Samsung and Apple is there and people don't see it coz is what they like.

[@Tekkas_GG]

Im not new at all. You cant say its the master of none when its clearly the master in the audio department. In fact; the only manufacturer to put in a quad dac. Its got many positive things that are being clearly overlooked intentionally or not intentionally.period.

LG - Best audio, ultra wide angle lens (4 years already!) , the one to start Android photography revolution, one of the best battey life out there, manual video.. Mkbhd is a Samsung fanboy. Why call it "master of none"? Call it "jack of all trades". Poor title.

[@dylanjg18]

Because it doesn't beat anyone in any specific category. In fact it's a step back in some, while adding useless gimmicks. For the price, get an S10 or One Plus and just be happy.

[@MorkusReX]

@@dylanjg18 Well, best audio in any phone, best manual video control and probably the best viewing angles on a high end OLED screen. What does the S10 do best? Arguably the best screen (which probably isn't true anymore with the OP7P).

@@MorkusReX It has a DAC. Manual controls don't matter when you can't produce a good image. Viewing angles? LMAO Samsung and OnePlus destroy this display. Yeah, this phone is weak.

[@MorkusReX]

@@dylanjg18 umm.. No.. The G8 has much better viewing angles than The S10. Don't just throw false info without checking. Let's stick to facts. And yes, that's what I said, the G8 has the best audio output in any phone on the planet. Regarding photos, it's the Indian, not the arrow :)

[@dylanjg18]

@@MorkusReX Viewing angle is definitely not better on the G8. Which is weird, not only are you spreading a lie, but for some reason, you feel like viewing angles are enough to sway a buyer. LMFAO The ugly notched display of the LG (Hardly even gets bright as well) can't hold a candle to Samsung or OnePlus. LG Display has been struggling ever since the Pixel 2. They just can't compete against Samsung. Simple. Still gonna keep quiet about LG's terrible camera performance? LOL BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE MANUAL MODE. So does basically every phone manufacturer. Just hold this L with them. You guys look cute losing 😂

Master of Audio.... Master of manual camera and content creation. Best mics in a phone. Well rounded Better you call it a niche phone.

[@atlasbailly5439]

not the master of any aspect of a camera that's for sure. it does have the best dac, but literally less than a tenth of a percent of people actually care. Most people will either use the speakers (which suck), use wireless headphones, have lower end headphones that will not actually benefit very much, or have very nice headphones for which they own a dedicated dac. also who cares about the mic quality what are you recording on your damn phone

When people say 'master of none' I don't understand when LG phones literally have the BEST sounding headphone jack in the industry. It is not a master of none, they are masters of wired audio. Your analysis is flawed.
