Should You Buy Galaxy S9 or LG G7

[@nickackermanchannel]

Should You Buy or LG G7 ThinQ? In this video I share with you in detail my experiences and take on both with the hopes of helping you decide which one is the better device! Share your experience if you own either one of theses or both. Any other questions, comments, concerns, share them below and enjoy the content :)

Nick Ackerman should you buy or lg g7 thinq

[@shahzebraja8562]

S9 plus beats Lg g7 thinq !

[@aslamdriver007]

Shahzeb Raja and u cant see the price difference??

[@JudgingKitty]

haha at 1:34 "the galaxy s7..." :D

[@ahmedgamer8459]

Nick Ackerman i bought the s9

[@thivakarsaravanamuthu4744]

I've owned a s9 and the G7 for about 6 months. I would recommend the G7 the battery lasted longer speakers were louder with bass (boom box) and brighter.

[@deviouslaw]

I'm loving the G7. Girlfriend has the S9 and there are just as many things about each phone that are nice. In fact I think overall I prefer mine. Both work great.

[@petermoree2298]

i'd say the LG G7 because it is cheaper and gives a more clear view

[@sulaman4280]

It's because the g series uses LCD and the v series since the v30 use oled screens it's still more expensive then the g7 although it's running snapdragon 835

[@davidturner4914]

I choose the LG G7. I am so sick of the curved screen on the Samsung products. Screen protectors are horrible to keep on the curved screen. I am not a professional photographer so the very slight difference in cameras is not anything I am worried about. I love my G7 and I am done with Samsung and their curved screens. Apps and functions of the phone are very similar. Oh and the notch? You have the option to choose not to have the notch buy picking the 2nd screen.

[@doctorrobert60]

Agree David. Curved screen can be problematic. Also minimalist cases do not protect curved screen as well if phone is dropped. Flat screen has better chance of surviving since lip of case is above the screen surface. Best not to drop however!

[@adityahertian1919]

If you worry about screen protector, now s9 have touch sensitivity in setting

[@fredperry9235]

Me too, they break too easily

[@soumyadeepbhunia172]

[@piotre1647]

g7 squad!!!- LIKE

[@BALLASHOTCALLA]

I know I'm late but lg squad roll out!!!!!

[@aslamdriver007]

Nice Comparison sir ! You always do Justice ! IMO Both device are gr8 But I'll go with G7 because of dual camera, Wide Angle , HiFi DAC and boom speaker. Also LG phones are smooth in compare with Samsung. In India G7 is more cheaper than s9. S9 128 gb 900$ and G7 128gb is 570$ !! Huge price difference!

[@aslamdriver007]

You should spend more time at youtube and search camera comparision with all flagship with G7. Its not the best but not also worst. I admit the Auto Mode is not up to the mark but If you use Manual mode you will find the best cam in G7 believe me.

[@mediafootball917]

I agree. LG more bang for you buck..G7💪💪

[@odisha_shorts]

Hardik Kumar lol need water resistant! I like to visit waterpark every month

[@harunhasural]

The S9 has a much better camera in terms of low light, overall sharpness and automatic mode. The G7 has like the worst camera in a high end phone in 2018. Even the One Plus 6 has a better camera.

[@vaibhavvalandikar3913]

You and Flossy Carter are the best reviewers. You sound real and not like robots reading a script

[@nickackermanchannel]

Thanks man Floss is great reviewer as well 👌🏻

[@bcdt1947]

Nick, you failed to note that the G7 also has component color controls. Also, keep in mind, that any phone that can produce HDR, Dolby Vision or 4K videos has no bearing on Oled or LCD. An Oled screen is just over-processed colors and blacks. An LCD screen produces less over-processed colors.

[@smokelife6315]

Yes. The Lg feels natural Samsung looks almost 3d super over saturated. It looks very pretty but its too bright too many colours. Ita just a gimmick to make took prettier. Same with the curved screen. Same with the glass body.

[@arnavarya3262]

How many of you say g7 has better performance or it does looks better?

[@TimboSlice58]

I love my G7. I've used both extensively ( I work for Verizon) the G7 feels faster and the super bright screen its fantastic for sunny days

[@TimboSlice58]

The durability of the G7 combined with the 2 year warranty from LG makes it worth it

[@AlphariusMemegon]

Timbo, Have you messed with the Moto Z 3 much? I like my Moto Z Play, but the battery failed and I have to replace it before the battery decides to start expanding more than it probably already has. The LG is a more premium device that's waterproof (which is nice since I live where there are a lot of storms) and I can get an actual case for it as opposed to just getting a bumper. On the flip side I like my current Moto Z, the battery would last longer with the power pack, and the Z3 is quite a bit cheaper than the LG. Any thoughts?

[@klynch7222]

No one

[@asoka2000]

@@TimboSlice58 From what I see on this video the LG 7 seems to have identical or similar performance to the S 9. Other than this video I can't say for sure as i still have the Samsung S 7.

[@jeffreymolina2581]

As always great review Nick! You're absolutely right about the value you get with the LG G7 as well.

[@OMJ_the_Show]

Having had both...G7 is a much better phone overall. The ONLY reason I kept the S9 is because it does slightly better with making as professional as possible video projects. If you don't have to do that, you'll love the G7. It's an awesome phone. Better than the S9.

G7 any day... awesome awesome device a real flagship in every sense

[@kelvinnkat]

The G7 is awesome. I have one and it's awesome for gaming with its quad DAC, DTS:X, Boombox speakers and Quad HD+ (which make it great for media too). Also never having to worry about burn-in is nice. Plus, the software is awesome, because you are able to set a specific frame rate and resolution for each game. I've never had my battery run out on a normal school day, even when I play video games both at school and at home. Also, in many markets a 256 GB G7 is available that also has 6GB of RAM.

[@luckypeter8155]

Lg g7thinq

[@waldonatorgr984]

I've had my G7 for over a year and it's still snappy, I've had updates up till now and runs smoothly without any glitches or stuff like that. LG phones are underrated but that's okay, it's unique for people to have... like me :)

[@Techvoyage777]

Why do you say ''LG G7 ThinQ'' all the time but only say ''S9''???

wow the quality of your video is love

[@rollinskjohn]

Great video nick, looking at the price difference here in India, I would rather go for the G7 which was available for around $350 during Flipkart sales. I am not a great fan of the curved edges on the S9.

[@jonroth007]

Thanks for the great review! Helped reassure myself that I made the right choice going with the LG!

[@patrickchong8581]

Awesome video Nick😍😍😍

[@sagimayank]

I have used them both and G7 is a clear winner for me. The experience using LG G7 ThinQ is also better of the two.

[@shrimpp866]

I can get LG G7 for around 120$ while Galaxy S9 for around 250$ (price converted to USD) so LG G7 huge win for me

[@rusterkat1188]

Great review and comparison. Thanks!!

[@nickackermanchannel]

Thank you very much appreciate your feedback

[@codpieceofjustice4595]

I'm no troll and no hater but don't OLED displays get screen-burn and the colours start to fade too? I love Samsung's reputation but I've never owned one of their devices. I need my phone to last at least 3 years. Edit: I currently own an LG G3 and need a new phone. I've saved my pennies and am deciding between the G7 Note 9 or possibly V40. I believe a phone should last a few years before playing up.

[@daisyroots]

You should mention that you can eliminate the notch on the G7 with some simple adjustments....

[@555calex]

G7 for me. Just because of the build. The G7 is wider which naturally move your fingers out of the way and out of your viewing space.

Hey Nick seems like you are kin-doff becoming like MKBHD day by day. It's the same as many people just keep waiting for his upcoming videos and what they're gonna be about. It's the same case with you also for me with your channel. What ever the new video might be, I just watch it because it will be already fantastic and the points mentioned in your reviews are based upon your own experiences unlike some other channels using the devices for 1-2 months and giving the same shitty reviews as many other do. Love to watch you reach that level one day. Want to see you in those top tech reviewers names

LG G7 ThinQ screen is exceptionally better than any phone I ever had. I can even watch a movie outdoors. I can also take pictures when the sun is bright out there.

In my region India s9 retails for around INR 60k and the LG G7 'plus' retails for less than INR 40k So basically it's a no brainer out here LG G7 plus all the way!!

[@lolchile]

What screen protector are you using on the s9?

[@dunyduke16]

I'm typing this with my iPhone 5 (not 5c, not 5s...just 5), which is just shy of 6 years old. I'm between the S9+, S9, and the G7. At my local Verizon store, they're priced at $930, $800, and $610 (with a promo), respectively. I'm assuming most would say the G7 is the best option considering how comparable it is to the S9 in performance . Thoughts?

[@asoka2000]

What's this notch thing everyone talks about on the iPhone 10 and LG G7?

[@realcarii]

That's not a s7 1:35🤔

[@duomaxx]

LG V10 had the notch at the upper left(or right) corner of the phone back then. As much I hate the notch, It will not hinder me to buy the G7 or V40. Hands down, LG makes the best audio phone in the market, couple with that a very good camera, snappy performance, a very good UI and an optional 2 year warranty that will not burn your pocket. Honestly, I can't afford it though, I am pretty much happy with my G5 with a free HiFi Plus.

hey what screen protector are you using on the s9, I have yet to find a screen protector for those curved edges that actually works and deals well with cases and feels as close as possible to the original glass.

zz zz check out, Whitestone dome

[@AR-ob9nv]

Eric Poaps Ive seen the reviews but that 45 dollar price always shoots me away.

[@mortifiedbmx9282]

the g7 takes about a week for the battery to break in i have had 3 of them. caught one on fire (intentional) got one for daily and one for filming, and your best bet is to shoot all your photos in raw and edit them and videos too (with 3rd party app)

[@sureinpadmanathan5922]

From where I reside, the s9+ is just so slightly more expensive than the g7+. I'd go with the s9+ for sure anytime.

[@asastuartshepherd7144]

I like the video but I believe there is an area that is very important in comparisons and that is usability. In the fact that because of the curved edges of the S9 it is harder to find adequate cases or effective tempered glass screen protectors. It is much easier on slightly curved screens of phones like the g7 to find more options to customize and protect the phone which for many would be an investment.

[@rollinlikeariver7756]

There are more variety of cases to buy for the S9 though. I agree though I have noticed the screen protector comes off of the curved glass screens sometimes.

[@fahimaqasha]

I know its little bit late, but I sold my iPhone 7 because want to buy LG G7, its really a great phone tho trust me, I been using this phone like 2 month now, Its worth value.

[@sachinbhatia3144]

If you're able to update the firmware on your own go for LG G7, if you largely depended on Firrnware update via phone itself to do everything for you then Samsung S9 should be the one.

[@AMohapatra]

In India, S9 (4GB/64GB/SingleRearCamera) costs 55k while G7+ (6GB/128GB/DualRearCamera) costs 40k ! In my opinion, preference should be S9Plus -> G7/G7+ -> S9

[@rayadams9783]

I am looking to upgrade. I have a Samsung S7edge whose screen just died, so I reverted back to an older LG V10 with an IPS display. Battery life is nowhere near as good as the S7, and verybody says there are no burn in issies with LCDs but there it is big as day! AMOLED is the one with the burn in reputation but my S7 never had that. Are those issues resolved in these phones?

[@fredperry9235]

G7

[@everydayfun9531]

I think S9 would be worth the upgrade cause it has the features you need on a phone and battery life is also good.

I take very few pictures but I do sometimes take a lot of car pictures. My G5 and the wide angle lens have been great and I think the AI camera in the G7 could make it even better. I always compare Samsung to LG for phones and I mostly take LG and I'm pretty sure this time I'm still going with LG. Not sure why but LG always has some feature that stands out and I just want it. For the G5 it was the wide angle camera and at the time I thought the modules were a good idea. Now with the G7 I like the boombox speaker and the notch actually looks good as well.

If you can get the g7 on a deal under 600 then it’s worth it. Otherwise the s9 is a better buy, the battery life on the g7 wasn’t that good, the colors were pretty good on the g7 but the blackish grey screen got a bit Annoying when watching videos since it’s not oled
