@Paul Greenwood very happy with the performance. Solid and user friendly. Good camera! Battery life could have been better. But it's ok. You can come back home at least 20% battery left.
@@syedozzie671 honestly I love my phone. I had an LG G4 before and hated it so I wanted to see if LG had improved and they truly have. I guess my main reason forgetting this phone was the inclusion of a digital to analog converter. Also it has double the memory and two gigs more RAM than the Galaxy S9 had. I'm not the one to upgrade for any reason generally though just because of that but it turned out my annual upgrade was available and my carrier Sprint had a special promotion where I can get the LG G8 for $10 a month. Also as much as I like Samsung I have them for a while and just wanted to try something new. For the most part I have no complaints except for every once in awhile the phone seems a tiny bit more sluggish than Samsung. However it's still a super-fast device I just seems to hang when going back to the home screen sometimes. The battery life is far far superior and it makes an audible time to let me know when the battery is low. The sound quality is way way better. The phone is wider which I like easier to type on. It is larger which I like as I use a wallet case. Also I like having a dedicated Google Assistant button. The one downfall is the Wi-Fi signal strength and they ope signal strength although left though are both slightly weaker than the Samsung but not a huge deal. Overall I highly recommend the LG device especially for someone that likes music or audio. Also saving $10 a month probably 15 I think actually does it hurt one bit.
LG G8 no doubt. LG screen has better viewing angles, it is less curved. You can use LG in a loud environment with the new speaker. You will want to use the G8 gestures when you cook for example (your hands are dirty) or if your hands are wet. LG has much much better night mode. The wide angle lens is better on the G8. LG has million times better camera controls.
totally agree on this. Very useful when cooking and you don't wan't to touch your phone with your messy hand. and i definitely love the manual controls in photos and videos. i use it a lot when i'm recording. and the face unlock is very secure unlike s10. so sad. and there are a lot of features they don't know about LG that no other phone have.
I claim your opinion.Im a user of lg g8 if you install gcam7.2 BURIAL version i promise to you 12mp of g8 in gcam7.2 can show more details than 64mp s20 i compared them NO CAP
The hand gestures are not just cool but it can come in handy for me especially when I'm cooking or eating and can't touch the phone. A lot of people found this feature useless or not necessary, but I give LG props for giving it a shot. This technology can open many doors to new technologies in the future.
I'm conflicted but historically I've had better luck with LG products in the long run. Samsung mobile products start out great but they tend to become buggy, sluggish, and cant hold their charge worth a damn after a few months. This has happened to me more than once. LG's don't have the same polish but they (with the exception of the LG G5) were better for the long haul.
My G3 took care of me. I loved that phone so much. I switched to an HTC One M8 and hated every minute of it and even went back to my old Galaxy S4 Active for a little while because I could hardly stand it. Finally got a G6 when it first came out. I dropped it a few months into ownership and the vibrator motor quit working (probably from a weak solder) and LG sent me a new one. LG recently sent me a brand new G6 (it's black, not the Platinum I had originally, but since it was new and not a refurbished model, I didn't complain) under their 2 year warranty because my fingerprint sensor only worked intermittently. Well, turns out, fingerprint sensors just don't like my fingerprints, so the warranty exchange was useless 😂 I may fork out for a new G8 and keep my G6 as a backup.
Got the s9 on black Friday 2018 and by the end of February 2019 my charger shorted out and battery started dying super fast. Also happened with my s7. Hate to do it, but I'm leaving Samsung. I'm trying to find a comparable phone with a lasting battery
@@alwayswinning11 I just got the G8 last week. I've managed to use it like my S6 and unlike my S6 (which admittedly has a smaller battery and is about 5 years old, I think), it lasted 2 full days and still had 9%. I used it the same as my S6 in any given day and my S6 near the end wouldn't last more than 5 hours.
I have had my LG G5 for 3.5 yrs and no issues. I had expensive Samsung Flagship phones for years before this LG. I had constant issues eith Samsung, one phone even set on fire while it was charging. I think LG is underrated. It would be nice if they would spruce it up a little but at least its steady Eddy!
I just upgraded from my really old Samsung Note phone. The LG G8 is the winner in my opinion. I waited for the current 2019 flagship phones to come out and their prices to drop. The LG's Quad DAC and real 3d face unlock made it a no brainer for me.
I still have the LG G6 going on two and a half years now, phone is still going strong. So obviously my choice is going to be the G8 if I decide to get a new phone anytime soon. The way this G6 is going it'll probably be the G9 when I get an upgrade. I prefer the physical fingerprint reader on the back, it never fails and I hope they keep it the same.
I actually own both phones. I had a galaxy s9+ before upgrading and upgraded for the Snapdragon 855 for emulation. Well, I was given an LG for free (I work for Sprint), and I prefer it to the Samsung. The in screen fingerprint is annoying. The screen, while great looking, isn't as good as the LG. The LG also lags less. This is probably due to the LG "skin" not being as robust as the Samsung. All in all, they are both great phones. With the LG G8 being $15 a month at Sprint ($360+tax), it's an uneatable deal for a flagship device 🤷🏿♂️
Tbh its all about what kinda phone u have when pplz ask you..lets be real..75 percent of us just take pix...listen to music...text..and go online...all that other stuff is extra all these phones are the same
The biggest buy factor in the world to me as well. This comment just made me go with the LG. Lol, I will do a bit more research first, but I'm constantly trying to figure out which phone has the best audio! To each their own, but screw gaming, then again I'm not a millennial so never ever been much of a gamer. Music on the other hand is pretty universal, I don't know many, if any who do not enjoy music. Don't get me wrong, I wasted many of hours playing tecmo bowl®™ as a young buck, but having Hetfields guitar screaming is much much much more important. To each their own I suppose 👍👌
@@liveyourlife23 when I had the LG V20, the rich ,crystal clear sound was next level. No phone can touch that Quad Dac & this was 3 years ago. I can only imagine how better it's gotten by now
More of the G8 photos look better. It has great detail and resolution, but keeps colors realistic. Not a big fan of the oversaturated colors on the s10.
I have had the LG G8 phone for about a week and it is the slipperiest phone i have ever owned; it has slid of the arm of a cloth couch, numerous tables and counters, out of my pants pockets, and i even pinched it between my arm rest and middle seat of my truck which is a heavy arm rest and cloth; and it still slipped out of that. And now the top right edge of the screen is chipped. So defiantly buy a case with it. But other than it being super slick it is a good phone, I've always liked LG phones and it doesn't disappoint. but you will need a grip case, i cant stress that enough.
I got Lg g6 been a very good phone the last 24 months. Been absolutely reliable. Oled screen is superb and mostly afordable. Samsung phones are very expensive only for a little more quality. I'm on my to get the Lg G8 looks stunning. Pictures are crisp. Looking forward to you final opinion.
Thanks LG has been 616 to 649 everywhere. And the only phone with fast secure fingerprint sensor and secure face unlock and the excellent audio recording and quad dac and amp
Mike Carr people would to friends or family, girlfriend/boyfriend, when it’s an emergency, etc. it’s good man cmon. That’s why the iPhone is copying it in the iPhone 11
G8 is so sexy. Currently 649 at bestbuy unlocked. I heard the unlocked variant is better due to not having any carrier pre installed apps on it. Just waiting another month or two hoping for another price drop
You lost me when you starting showing the S10+ in the review half way into the presentation. S10+ has the wider camera whole notch as compared to the S10 pin hole notch. You should be telling the viewer you switched the phone.
I don't want to be THAT GUY that tells you how to use the phone. But tapping the fingerprint sensor on the S10 will continue to give you unreliable results. You need to place it and hold it for a few seconds
You should check out my first impressions video where everyone was yelling at me to just tap it instead of holding. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ it doesn’t work well no matter how hard or soft you press it lol
Damn i have a lg V30 still runs like it was bought yesterday. And for the fingerprint sensor, i unlock my phone while im reaching for it in my pocket and by the time i take it out i'm already swiping away that is how convenient a traditional fingerprint sensor is compared to optical or ultrasonic
@@bortanradu Yeah it annoys me sometimes on my V30 i accidently press it while trying to watch something in landscape. But they change that starting form the G7 onwards , now they have a separate button to lock and unlock the phone on the side
I spent too much money on my s8 to justify the battery issues/screen burn out I've had in less than 2 years (I usually keep my phones for 4 years) I now have to get a new phone and this is 1/3 the price of a new Samsung. I'm done spending big bucks for a phone thinking it'll change my life 😐
I bought the g8 for the hi-fi quad DAC. It also holds its ground in other features, and, as you said, the embedded cameras are awesome for holding this phone with a case.
I was really hoping for audio built in speakers. pro 50 ohm and higher headphones. wireless headphones and codecs. stereo recording and editing. And of course phone call quality. wifi and data speed. Thanks great comparision wish the iphone XS was also in it. $619 is an insanely good price for a 6.1" 1440P OLED secure face unlock and secure finger print unlock and the best headphone audio and stereo recording. I would like to have seen some camera and some video samples, and bokeh samples though.
Currently S10 and G8 used phones are available at Lazada and Shoppee for USD 180 and 115 respectively. Since the specs are similar, naturally the choice would be G8, but actual fact the S10 sells much more than G8. The main reason that I can think of is the comparatively unpopular LG track record in the hand phone business, which makes sense for them to come to a painful yet right decision to shutdown the phone business altogether.
A tip: The hand control can be used for example when your hands while eating something and you want to change the music, make it louder or something else! this could be useful
I had this T-Mobile Premium Warranty Insurance for $8 a month. Covered the phone if it wasn't working. When I bought the G8 I dropped the insurance. Over a 2-year period I will save $192. Add this to the fact that I'm grandfathered in at $30 a month on the T-Mobile 55+ plan for Unimited Talk, Text & Unlimited LTE Data Plan, it's an incredible deal.
I prefer my s10plus but I think the g8 is a very good phone. Especially if you can pick it up for 620.00. And you can't tell me that the s10 is 380.00 better than the g8. The 620.00 price tag is a very good deal!
The hand gestures is kind of gimmicky but I think the real world use for it is if a call comes in while you're cooking and your hands are dirty you don't want to touch your phone so you use the gestures in its place. Similar to the touch sink faucet.
At&t is offering $250 and a Free Lg G8 thin Q to switch from Verizon. This sounds like a good deal and I have had ATT before in my area and it was fine. I currently am using a Moto Z4 and I assume head to head that the LG is a better phone? I can't see buying an S10 if I can get the LG for Free ish? What do you think?... By the way, I love your review as I generally always turn to You Tube for product reviews before making a decision... So Thank you sir :)
At&t has a deal with the LG G8 ThinQ which is $5 per month for 30 months which is a great deal considering you are only paying a total of $150 plus tax for a flagship phone. (I don't know when this deal ends so sorry if it isn't availible when you are reading this. Posted 7/6/2019)
When you consider some of the deals you can get on an LG G8 ThinQ, the price/performance ratio makes the Samsung a bit less practical. The only advantage the Samsung has over the LG in this case, is the availability of cases and display guards. Even so, Otter Box still has a version of their Defender case for the LG. The Samsung does have a telephoto lens, but let's be real. No smartphone can come close in comparison to even the lowest priced DSLR with interchangeable lenses, which makes the Samsung less of a bargain since it costs twice as much as a Nikon D3500 with a kit lens, which you can buy with the price difference between the Samsung and the LG. You can even add a fast 50mm lens for the Nikon and still come out ahead. So if you are into any type of photography other than gun and run, the difference between the phones cameras become moot. Which brings us down to what each phone can do: Make and place calls, watch videos on a 6" screen, scan QR codes, keep up to date with Facebook, check store coupons, snap a quick photo or selfie for Instagram, and so forth. Both have these tasks down in spades, but the LG does it at essentially less than half the cost of the Samsung when sales are considered. In the end, it all depends on the bank account, and which one looks and feels the best. You can't go wrong with the LG. If I had fat wallet and money to splurge, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Or, perhaps an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Why buy Timex watch when you can afford a Rolex?
You had me til you dropped this line "If I had fat wallet and money to splurge, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Or, perhaps an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Why buy Timex watch when you can afford a Rolex? " Why go with Rolex (Note 10+, 11Pro Max) when the G8 (Timex) does most things better? If you spend more for lesser at that point your going off brand recognition in hopes of others thinking you're of a higher quality of living, when in fact your just a douche seeking the approval of others -_-.
@@CreamPieSundays That's the point. A Rolex is brand recognition. A Timex gets the job done. The LG G8 ThinQ gets the job done, in spite of the LG name being associated with washing machines and refrigerators.
My step dad says his Galaxy S10 for work battery lasts forever it'll go 2 days easy. I have the LG G8 and its battery seems to be pretty decent to. The only reason to go with the LG is the quad DAC which most people don't talk about.
Both are similarly priced for me, however as we all know LG is no longer in the phone market and that's the only off-putting thing about the G8 for me.
LG started wide angle camera and everyone embrace it today. Tomorrow everyone will have a z lense camera. They're innovative and game changers. And the best thing about LG is how the prices slash pretty quickly. I bet you can find a G8 around 300-400 dollars right now.
Best of LG is it's sound system and practice old school features which are turning legendary and classical . It's just 8 years since smartphone la took market by storm .
LG ip68 water, dust resistant and Mil Spec 810g shock resistant. Gorrilla glass 5 front and 6 on back. Quad DAC like others have said. Can't go wrong with this phone. I need another.
Please prove your claim about face I'd being better than the the g8 face unlock using the latest tof camera sensors. It also has secure fingerprint unlock. Which are more advance than apples two year old tech which can not do hand I'd or gestures. But it is true software not hardware makes the difference look at Google. You said it so prove it. LG was first with the notch to the left top on the LG v10 and v20. Eventually using tof sensors you will be able to control your phone 100% without touching it. Audio performance and manual camera modes for bloggers mode is very important. Automated camera mode are almost best with Google Samsung apple manual modes are best with LG Sony Huawei. Both are much better buys than the iphone xs and xs max 64gb no sd card No headphone jack No fast charger no ultra wide angle no fingerprint jack $1000+ phones and technically just as fast
I had a Samsung Galaxy S10. The battery life sucked within the first 3 months of my ownership. And I just bought an LG G8 ThinQ from eBay as an open box deal. New phone, no retail packaging, I'm willing to bet the wall charger isn't original while the seller says it is. The only issue I have with the phone is the seller claims it's a factory unlocked phone. I've been buying factory unlocked phones for over 3 years. None of them displayed a carrier logo right after boot up. However, my G8 displays Sprint. If it's a factory unlocked phone then every other unlocked phone I've ever owned got it wrong, but I know they didn't. Regardless, I won't know just how good it is for another 6 days. And I won't know about the battery life for another 3 months.
The 32bit DAC is LG'S best feature. Best in class. The s10's display is better but LG'S display is second best. At 619.00, that's a great price. I could be happy with either!
LG is all about innovation they 're the first to bring new tech and after, all the other companies follow ! That new hand gesture feature will become a huge deal in all smartphones in the next 2 years, that's the future right there, after that phones will have holographic displays ! Everyone laughs at the ideas but then ideas becomes reality
The LG G8' s standard lens will take 12 MP shots only if it is half screen. If we make the display full screen, the resolution of the camera is down to 7.7 MP. People prefer to take full screen shots, however unfortunately, it is only 7.7 MP. If you choose 12 MP as camera's resolution, then the full screen will be turned off and most probably, you would not like a half screen photos. Half screen is good if you are taking portraits. For landscapes, everyone prefers full screen. Similarly, the wide angle lens is only 10 MP if you choose full screen option. If you need 16 MP, the screen will be reduced to almost half, which then is not wide angle at all. I do not know why LG did this. Even the LG G4 and G5 phones had 16 MP cameras and I believe that the resolution did not change even when it was full screen. I am really disappointed with what LG did with G8's camera.
Another G8 fan here... I didn't want to give up my V30 but the "tech" who replaced the back destroyed the fingerprint sensor a year ago. Finding a replacement hasn't happened. Don't tell anyone but I do like the power switch moved to the side. I loved the V series but the 50 is too much phone and money for my needs.
I've got a LG V30. And I do love the phone. But the flaw that I will not have again is the speakers. They are bottom firing speakers. After having front facing speakers on my last phone. I cannot go back. The power on button on my v30 phone is in the best place I've ever seen. I hope they stuck with it to the G8. On mine power is on the fingerprint reader. I was always turning the phone off by accident on my nexus phone.
I just took advantage of the Amazon Prime Day sale and scored the G8 for $500. Also ordered a nice cover. All was fine and dandy until I did a comparison test with my gf's Samsung S9+. I went onto RUclips with both phones and searched for "HD Video Test 1440". Hands down the 9+ blows the G8 out of the water. It was crystal clear. Yes, I had my resolution set to the highest setting on my G8. I'm rather depressed at the moment as I've been a loyal LG follower for years. The crystal clear laser sharp clarity of the 9+ is just too amazing. Looks like I'm going to be sending back my phone and case and spending the extra coin for a Samsung. UGHHHHH!!!! This sucks. Do your own test, seriously.
if you follow the instruction on the s10 you'll have good results. You said it was inconsistent but you were purposely pulling your finger off too quickly.
How reviewers unfairly trash phones without even knowing iPhone: It has the most secure Face ID the 3D technology is amazing! LG: The 3D face ID is slightly better than what you can find on an s10, but not anywhere near Apple's Face ID. Me: LG claims their technology is more sophisticated than Apple's, have you tested them both side by side and discover a security vulnerability on the LG's part? Or you're just used to praising iphones and samsungs that trashing other phones comes naturally!
I was considering the S10, but I'm done with Samsung. Their phones have a feature or either a bug that sends your screen to black while on the speaker phone within 3 seconds. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Checked out recommendations on the Samsung Community and apparently, the only thing they say that will fix it is to factory reset the phone. Not doing that. I had no problems for 2 1/2 years with my S8 and after all these new updates the phone sucks. According to the Samsung Community @ Samsung.com this is also a problem for the S10 as well. Finding a new android phone shouldn't be a problem (so many carriers and cheaper too).
i will probably buy the g8, in my region i ll get the triple cam setup, i am an audiophile so i really like the hifi audio DAC, the boring android skin is not a huge deal, there are enough themes to pump it up. at the moment i could get the g7 for 350€ so if i gonna wait some months i am sure to get the g8 for a similar pricetag. and then its nobrainer
can i just say that the V30, *select* models, have received a January, March and April patch. I was pretty shook LOL, almost exactly a year passed since LG expanded the software division....i think they are fiiiiinally kicking in lmao
I like this review. It is very objective. Gives both pros and cons to both phones. I like both phones and I like what lg brings to the table.

01:20 he's not holding his finger on the screen long enough
02:02 the face unlock technology of G8 is pretty much the same as iPhone.
LG is the most underrated phone on the market
love my LG G6, but I'm ready to upgrade. Looking forward to getting the LG G8X Dual Screen.

I like it better than what they did on the s10. I wouldn't like seing a black circle on the top right 100% of the time while using the phone. Hell no
So true, i say that all day
Since the beginning
Also u can hide the notch and it won't bother most of us

Very useful when cooking and you don't wan't to touch your phone with your messy hand. and i definitely love the manual controls in photos and videos. i use it a lot when i'm recording. and the face unlock is very secure unlike s10. so sad. and there are a lot of features they don't know about LG that no other phone have.
The only thing I don't like about LG's screen vs Samsung is its harder to see in direct sunlight...even with the brightness at 100%.
@@ChoneyPony Have you used the new G8? Because wow the screen is hella bright in direct sunlight.
If you listen to some reviewers you'll never explore a great phone, you'll always end up buying the one's they're advertising.
I claim your opinion.Im a user of lg g8 if you install gcam7.2 BURIAL version i promise to you 12mp of g8 in gcam7.2 can show more details than 64mp s20 i compared them NO CAP
The hand gestures are not just cool but it can come in handy for me especially when I'm cooking or eating and can't touch the phone. A lot of people found this feature useless or not necessary, but I give LG props for giving it a shot. This technology can open many doors to new technologies in the future.
I'm conflicted but historically I've had better luck with LG products in the long run. Samsung mobile products start out great but they tend to become buggy, sluggish, and cant hold their charge worth a damn after a few months. This has happened to me more than once. LG's don't have the same polish but they (with the exception of the LG G5) were better for the long haul.
My G3 took care of me. I loved that phone so much. I switched to an HTC One M8 and hated every minute of it and even went back to my old Galaxy S4 Active for a little while because I could hardly stand it. Finally got a G6 when it first came out. I dropped it a few months into ownership and the vibrator motor quit working (probably from a weak solder) and LG sent me a new one. LG recently sent me a brand new G6 (it's black, not the Platinum I had originally, but since it was new and not a refurbished model, I didn't complain) under their 2 year warranty because my fingerprint sensor only worked intermittently. Well, turns out, fingerprint sensors just don't like my fingerprints, so the warranty exchange was useless 😂 I may fork out for a new G8 and keep my G6 as a backup.
Got the s9 on black Friday 2018 and by the end of February 2019 my charger shorted out and battery started dying super fast. Also happened with my s7. Hate to do it, but I'm leaving Samsung. I'm trying to find a comparable phone with a lasting battery
Agree
Yep,i move from samsung and went with LG,never went back to samsung.
@@alwayswinning11 I just got the G8 last week. I've managed to use it like my S6 and unlike my S6 (which admittedly has a smaller battery and is about 5 years old, I think), it lasted 2 full days and still had 9%. I used it the same as my S6 in any given day and my S6 near the end wouldn't last more than 5 hours.
I have had my LG G5 for 3.5 yrs and no issues. I had expensive Samsung Flagship phones for years before this LG. I had constant issues eith Samsung, one phone even set on fire while it was charging. I think LG is underrated. It would be nice if they would spruce it up a little but at least its steady Eddy!
I just upgraded from my really old Samsung Note phone. The LG G8 is the winner in my opinion. I waited for the current 2019 flagship phones to come out and their prices to drop. The LG's Quad DAC and real 3d face unlock
made it a no brainer for me.
I still have the LG G6 going on two and a half years now, phone is still going strong. So obviously my choice is going to be the G8 if I decide to get a new phone anytime soon. The way this G6 is going it'll probably be the G9 when I get an upgrade. I prefer the physical fingerprint reader on the back, it never fails and I hope they keep it the same.
I actually own both phones. I had a galaxy s9+ before upgrading and upgraded for the Snapdragon 855 for emulation. Well, I was given an LG for free (I work for Sprint), and I prefer it to the Samsung. The in screen fingerprint is annoying. The screen, while great looking, isn't as good as the LG. The LG also lags less. This is probably due to the LG "skin" not being as robust as the Samsung. All in all, they are both great phones. With the LG G8 being $15 a month at Sprint ($360+tax), it's an uneatable deal for a flagship device 🤷🏿♂️
At 3:20,you like how the s10 feels more than the g8,yet earlier in the video you don't like the sharp edges of the s10...which is it?
I noticed that too. I kinda feel like he's subconsciously attached to the brand name, so he can't give an honest critique 🤷🏿♂️
Or it’s probably that while I think the edges of it are sharp, there are other characteristics of feel and comfort that I prefer over the G8 🤷🏻♂️
He just says what he's paid to bye Samsung.
Tbh its all about what kinda phone u have when pplz ask you..lets be real..75 percent of us just take pix...listen to music...text..and go online...all that other stuff is extra all these phones are the same
R BEAUMONTII
PREACH
The truth.
if you can get more features for a lower price, why not?
For the audiophile peepz. Quad DAC. Done
A big factor than practically every reviewer seems to overlook these days. The G8 blows the S10 out of the water when it comes to audio.
Yeah, not many reviewers metion that. For me it is a buy factor.
The biggest buy factor in the world to me as well. This comment just made me go with the LG. Lol, I will do a bit more research first, but I'm constantly trying to figure out which phone has the best audio! To each their own, but screw gaming, then again I'm not a millennial so never ever been much of a gamer. Music on the other hand is pretty universal, I don't know many, if any who do not enjoy music. Don't get me wrong, I wasted many of hours playing tecmo bowl®™ as a young buck, but having Hetfields guitar screaming is much much much more important. To each their own I suppose 👍👌
@@liveyourlife23 when I had the LG V20, the rich ,crystal clear sound was next level. No phone can touch that Quad Dac & this was 3 years ago. I can only imagine how better it's gotten by now
Does it really make a difference.
More of the G8 photos look better. It has great detail and resolution, but keeps colors realistic. Not a big fan of the oversaturated colors on the s10.
in Manual mode on both phones
it wouldnt made much of a diffrence
G8 also has higher resolution and wayy higher ppi
@@bigslatt708 None of that matters for your picture taking efforts.
@@honeste6652 dude this was 6 months ago
@@bigslatt708 Uh...OK?
I have had the LG G8 phone for about a week and it is the slipperiest phone i have ever owned; it has slid of the arm of a cloth couch, numerous tables and counters, out of my pants pockets, and i even pinched it between my arm rest and middle seat of my truck which is a heavy arm rest and cloth; and it still slipped out of that. And now the top right edge of the screen is chipped. So defiantly buy a case with it. But other than it being super slick it is a good phone, I've always liked LG phones and it doesn't disappoint. but you will need a grip case, i cant stress that enough.
Galaxy s10 is very good but to me LG G8 is the best.
To me s10 has a better display and hardware and my s10 is 8gb of ram lg is 6 GB ram s10 is faster my grandpa has the lgg8 I really don't care for it

Samsung phones are very expensive only for a little more quality.
I'm on my to get the Lg G8 looks stunning.

Looking forward to you final opinion.
Thanks LG has been 616 to 649 everywhere.
And the only phone with fast secure fingerprint sensor and secure face unlock and the excellent audio recording and quad dac and amp
I don’t like Samsung phones but the power share option is CRAZY, so innovative. Use your phone as a charging device? That is amazing
Seriously how often is someone going to give some of their battery life to charge someone else's? It seems like a waste to me.
Mike Carr people would to friends or family, girlfriend/boyfriend, when it’s an emergency, etc. it’s good man cmon. That’s why the iPhone is copying it in the iPhone 11
Don't forget it's slow af. It's not even 5W it's around 3.5W at best. That would take days to fully charge a 4000mah battery
So innovative that they had to copy it from Huawei.. and it's pretty useless, slow as hell and just a gimmick.
G8 is so sexy. Currently 649 at bestbuy unlocked. I heard the unlocked variant is better due to not having any carrier pre installed apps on it. Just waiting another month or two hoping for another price drop
G8 for me :)
Lg thw Best
Lg is allways a vest brand as it does not showoff like other brands and has quality that goes without saying
I miss my lg. I just switched from an Lg G6 to an S10 and I wish I could of stuck with LG and gone with the G8!!!!
Why do u wish u kept the lg
The LG G6 was an amazing phone... Looking forward to the LG G8X Dual Screen.
@@MaddogJones i think G8 is a better buy for me because of the 2k screen✌️
But g8x also great with dual screen accessory
The Samsung does have the unique DEK feature which basically makes it a computer with mouse and monitor, with just one cable.
You lost me when you starting showing the S10+ in the review half way into the presentation. S10+ has the wider camera whole notch as compared to the S10 pin hole notch. You should be telling the viewer you switched the phone.
what about the AUDIO quality? I think lg will smash the s10.......

In terms of headphone jack quality, yeah. Reverse is true for the speakers
Ivan Trudeau

@@Metamine0 mind blowing ......

Interesting. I'll have to give it a try
King Saviour
Yeah, but like what's the difference between it being off and on?
If you are not in the USA then the LG is 30% faster in games and 10% faster in apps as Samsung screwed people with the exynos processor outside USA.
agreed. we get only exynos outside US.
I don't want to be THAT GUY that tells you how to use the phone. But tapping the fingerprint sensor on the S10 will continue to give you unreliable results. You need to place it and hold it for a few seconds
You should check out my first impressions video where everyone was yelling at me to just tap it instead of holding. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ it doesn’t work well no matter how hard or soft you press it lol
@@Dan_Barbera I feel you man. That's what works for me though, hopefully it works for you.
I think he was compairing it to the lg where you can just tap the fingerprint tab
Damn i have a lg V30 still runs like it was bought yesterday. And for the fingerprint sensor, i unlock my phone while im reaching for it in my pocket and by the time i take it out i'm already swiping away that is how convenient a traditional fingerprint sensor is compared to optical or ultrasonic
@@bortanradu Yeah it annoys me sometimes on my V30 i accidently press it while trying to watch something in landscape. But they change that starting form the G7 onwards , now they have a separate button to lock and unlock the phone on the side
Hey it has same level security as face ID. LG's 3d sensor even takes more data than fave id 🤦♂️🤦♂️ get educated before you review
Yet another "review" that completely ignores audio quality.
That Quad Dac and resonance Chamber + "bone conductor"
I spent too much money on my s8 to justify the battery issues/screen burn out I've had in less than 2 years (I usually keep my phones for 4 years) I now have to get a new phone and this is 1/3 the price of a new Samsung. I'm done spending big bucks for a phone thinking it'll change my life 😐
I bought the g8 for the hi-fi quad DAC. It also holds its ground in other features, and, as you said, the embedded cameras are awesome for holding this phone with a case.
How much did you pay for it?
I'm still not buying the Samsung Galaxy I prefer the LG v50 I'll wait for that as soon as it comes out
LG won't give you Android's updates but the phones are great. Been using LG in the last 7 years and I am not disappointed.
I like how the S10 look. But I like how the G8 feels in my hand. And that quard deck.
I was really hoping for audio
built in speakers.
pro 50 ohm and higher headphones.
wireless headphones and codecs.
stereo recording and editing.
And of course phone call quality.
wifi and data speed.
Thanks great comparision wish the iphone XS was also in it.
$619 is an insanely good price for a 6.1" 1440P OLED secure face unlock and secure finger print unlock and the best headphone audio and stereo recording.
I would like to have seen some camera and some video samples, and bokeh samples though.
I love the google assistant on my current LGV30 and would probably buy LG for that reason. I use the assistant for almost everything.
Hint hint
Other Android devices come with Google assistant too....
Got the g8 from T-Mobile
I'm getting one when I get paid next week.
I did too...for an amazing price of $619. Then I received an additional $310 off for adding a much-needed line. So for $309 I got the G8.
All the people here hate Samsung 😂
Currently S10 and G8 used phones are available at Lazada and Shoppee for USD 180 and 115 respectively. Since the specs are similar, naturally the choice would be G8, but actual fact the S10 sells much more than G8. The main reason that I can think of is the comparatively unpopular LG track record in the hand phone business, which makes sense for them to come to a painful yet right decision to shutdown the phone business altogether.
A good comparison from a gentleman reviewer.... 😁 Please let me know which date widget you are using... It's beautiful on the LG....
A tip:
The hand control can be used for example when your hands while eating something and you want to change the music, make it louder or something else! this could be useful
LG G8 wins with 2 years warranty.
I had this T-Mobile Premium Warranty Insurance for $8 a month. Covered the phone if it wasn't working. When I bought the G8 I dropped the insurance. Over a 2-year period I will save $192. Add this to the fact that I'm grandfathered in at $30 a month on the T-Mobile 55+ plan for Unimited Talk, Text & Unlimited LTE Data Plan, it's an incredible deal.
@@hoppysport2872 highway robbery 💸
I prefer my s10plus but I think the g8 is a very good phone. Especially if you can pick it up for 620.00. And you can't tell me that the s10 is 380.00 better than the g8. The 620.00 price tag is a very good deal!
The hand gestures seem like they would be useful. When i have it attached to my motorcycle. As far as controls while wearing gloves.
I'll take the lg g8..those curves screens are a problem when getting a tempered glass..I prefer that flat screen on the g8.
The hand gestures is kind of gimmicky but I think the real world use for it is if a call comes in while you're cooking and your hands are dirty you don't want to touch your phone so you use the gestures in its place. Similar to the touch sink faucet.
At&t is offering $250 and a Free Lg G8 thin Q to switch from Verizon. This sounds like a good deal and I have had ATT before in my area and it was fine. I currently am using a Moto Z4 and I assume head to head that the LG is a better phone? I can't see buying an S10 if I can get the LG for Free ish? What do you think?... By the way, I love your review as I generally always turn to You Tube for product reviews before making a decision... So Thank you sir :)
At&t has a deal with the LG G8 ThinQ which is $5 per month for 30 months which is a great deal considering you are only paying a total of $150 plus tax for a flagship phone. (I don't know when this deal ends so sorry if it isn't availible when you are reading this. Posted 7/6/2019)
LG G8 is the best
I don't have a problem with my fingerprint scanner on my s10+, it works every single time
Same here.
Just got an LG G7 Thin Q. So far I love it 😃
When you consider some of the deals you can get on an LG G8 ThinQ, the price/performance ratio makes the Samsung a bit less practical. The only advantage the Samsung has over the LG in this case, is the availability of cases and display guards. Even so, Otter Box still has a version of their Defender case for the LG. The Samsung does have a telephoto lens, but let's be real. No smartphone can come close in comparison to even the lowest priced DSLR with interchangeable lenses, which makes the Samsung less of a bargain since it costs twice as much as a Nikon D3500 with a kit lens, which you can buy with the price difference between the Samsung and the LG. You can even add a fast 50mm lens for the Nikon and still come out ahead.
So if you are into any type of photography other than gun and run, the difference between the phones cameras become moot. Which brings us down to what each phone can do: Make and place calls, watch videos on a 6" screen, scan QR codes, keep up to date with Facebook, check store coupons, snap a quick photo or selfie for Instagram, and so forth. Both have these tasks down in spades, but the LG does it at essentially less than half the cost of the Samsung when sales are considered. In the end, it all depends on the bank account, and which one looks and feels the best. You can't go wrong with the LG. If I had fat wallet and money to splurge, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Or, perhaps an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Why buy Timex watch when you can afford a Rolex?
You had me til you dropped this line "If I had fat wallet and money to splurge, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Or, perhaps an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. Why buy Timex watch when you can afford a Rolex?
" Why go with Rolex (Note 10+, 11Pro Max) when the G8 (Timex) does most things better? If you spend more for lesser at that point your going off brand recognition in hopes of others thinking you're of a higher quality of living, when in fact your just a douche seeking the approval of others -_-.
@@CreamPieSundays That's the point. A Rolex is brand recognition. A Timex gets the job done. The LG G8 ThinQ gets the job done, in spite of the LG name being associated with washing machines and refrigerators.
S10 because...better speakers for one thing; I had an LG G7 and the Boombox on it rocked...
Thats it? Thats your only reason t9 buy s10? Paying $900. Gl with that

My step dad says his Galaxy S10 for work battery lasts forever it'll go 2 days easy. I have the LG G8 and its battery seems to be pretty decent to. The only reason to go with the LG is the quad DAC which most people don't talk about.
Both are similarly priced for me, however as we all know LG is no longer in the phone market and that's the only off-putting thing about the G8 for me.
Personally, I'd go with the G8 and I'm going to be buying one in the near future.
Those hand gestures on LG phone might be useful while driving
MENTION THE AUDIO! LG IS BEST!
Love notch you know why cause my first phone has notches doesn't care about screen design at long as it's not 5inch screen
Look, the curved display of the G8 is no where near as dramatic as the S10
LG started wide angle camera and everyone embrace it today. Tomorrow everyone will have a z lense camera. They're innovative and game changers. And the best thing about LG is how the prices slash pretty quickly. I bet you can find a G8 around 300-400 dollars right now.
Best of LG is it's sound system and practice old school features which are turning legendary and classical . It's just 8 years since smartphone la took market by storm .
LG ip68 water, dust resistant and Mil Spec 810g shock resistant. Gorrilla glass 5 front and 6 on back. Quad DAC like others have said. Can't go wrong with this phone. I need another.
I would BUY the LG 8 better value hands down same old Samsung
Please prove your claim about face I'd being better than the the g8 face unlock using the latest tof camera sensors.
It also has secure fingerprint unlock.
Which are more advance than apples two year old tech which can not do hand I'd or gestures.
But it is true software not hardware makes the difference look at Google.
You said it so prove it.
LG was first with the notch to the left top on the LG v10 and v20.
Eventually using tof sensors you will be able to control your phone 100% without touching it.
Audio performance and manual camera modes for bloggers mode is very important.
Automated camera mode are almost best with Google Samsung apple manual modes are best with LG Sony Huawei.
Both are much better buys than the iphone xs and xs max 64gb no sd card No headphone jack No fast charger no ultra wide angle no fingerprint jack $1000+ phones and technically just as fast
Ive got an S9. I'd be happy with either of these phones. My Moms got the LG before this on and it's a great phone.
What is the Date Widget on your phone 📱? It's so sweet like that of your review... 👌
I had a Samsung Galaxy S10. The battery life sucked within the first 3 months of my ownership. And I just bought an LG G8 ThinQ from eBay as an open box deal. New phone, no retail packaging, I'm willing to bet the wall charger isn't original while the seller says it is. The only issue I have with the phone is the seller claims it's a factory unlocked phone. I've been buying factory unlocked phones for over 3 years. None of them displayed a carrier logo right after boot up. However, my G8 displays Sprint. If it's a factory unlocked phone then every other unlocked phone I've ever owned got it wrong, but I know they didn't. Regardless, I won't know just how good it is for another 6 days. And I won't know about the battery life for another 3 months.
So, how did the LG G8 treat you? Just bought one for $109 new. I actually bought 2 of them.
I want to pick up one of the two. In 2021 which one is the best for the money ? Lg g8 or S10+?
The 32bit DAC is LG'S best feature. Best in class. The s10's display is better but LG'S display is second best. At 619.00, that's a great price. I could be happy with either!
LG is all about innovation they 're the first to bring new tech and after, all the other companies follow ! That new hand gesture feature will become a huge deal in all smartphones in the next 2 years, that's the future right there, after that phones will have holographic displays ! Everyone laughs at the ideas but then ideas becomes reality
The LG G8' s standard lens will take 12 MP shots only if it is half screen. If we make the display full screen, the resolution of the camera is down to 7.7 MP. People prefer to take full screen shots, however unfortunately, it is only 7.7 MP. If you choose 12 MP as camera's resolution, then the full screen will be turned off and most probably, you would not like a half screen photos. Half screen is good if you are taking portraits. For landscapes, everyone prefers full screen.
Similarly, the wide angle lens is only 10 MP if you choose full screen option. If you need 16 MP, the screen will be reduced to almost half, which then is not wide angle at all.
I do not know why LG did this. Even the LG G4 and G5 phones had 16 MP cameras and I believe that the resolution did not change even when it was full screen. I am really disappointed with what LG did with G8's camera.
Another G8 fan here... I didn't want to give up my V30 but the "tech" who replaced the back destroyed the fingerprint sensor a year ago. Finding a replacement hasn't happened.
Don't tell anyone but I do like the power switch moved to the side. I loved the V series but the 50 is too much phone and money for my needs.
I'm not a Samsung fan but if I had to choose I would pick the S10.

I've got a LG V30. And I do love the phone. But the flaw that I will not have again is the speakers. They are bottom firing speakers. After having front facing speakers on my last phone. I cannot go back. The power on button on my v30 phone is in the best place I've ever seen. I hope they stuck with it to the G8. On mine power is on the fingerprint reader. I was always turning the phone off by accident on my nexus phone.
Others say the G8s design isn't very 2019 because of finger print sensor in the back
I just took advantage of the Amazon Prime Day sale and scored the G8 for $500. Also ordered a nice cover. All was fine and dandy until I did a comparison test with my gf's Samsung S9+. I went onto RUclips with both phones and searched for "HD Video Test 1440". Hands down the 9+ blows the G8 out of the water. It was crystal clear. Yes, I had my resolution set to the highest setting on my G8. I'm rather depressed at the moment as I've been a loyal LG follower for years. The crystal clear laser sharp clarity of the 9+ is just too amazing. Looks like I'm going to be sending back my phone and case and spending the extra coin for a Samsung. UGHHHHH!!!! This sucks. Do your own test, seriously.
if you follow the instruction on the s10 you'll have good results. You said it was inconsistent but you were purposely pulling your finger off too quickly.
Thanks, the s10 photos looks better and I got the s10 plus because I'm used to Samsung and plus variants already
How reviewers unfairly trash phones without even knowing
iPhone: It has the most secure Face ID the 3D technology is amazing!
LG: The 3D face ID is slightly better than what you can find on an s10, but not anywhere near Apple's Face ID.
Me: LG claims their technology is more sophisticated than Apple's, have you tested them both side by side and discover a security vulnerability on the LG's part? Or you're just used to praising iphones and samsungs that trashing other phones comes naturally!
most reviewers are biased and stupid. It's just how they are.

I love my S10. Best phone yet
S10 is a killer 💪
I was considering the S10, but I'm done with Samsung. Their phones have a feature or either a bug that sends your screen to black while on the speaker phone within 3 seconds. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Checked out recommendations on the Samsung Community and apparently, the only thing they say that will fix it is to factory reset the phone. Not doing that. I had no problems for 2 1/2 years with my S8 and after all these new updates the phone sucks. According to the Samsung Community @ Samsung.com this is also a problem for the S10 as well. Finding a new android phone shouldn't be a problem (so many carriers and cheaper too).
I knew you picked the S10 just by the like to dislike ratio. Had you picked the G8, you would've had a lot of thumbs down from Samsung fanboys
BigMude
Sadly. While I don't think the G8 wins overall, it also doesn't lose either. This feels more like a tie and it's all up to preference

Loll,majority of reviews does that for more likes but LG makes better devices.
BloodFlow HigH
Depends on the person I suppose
i will probably buy the g8, in my region i ll get the triple cam setup, i am an audiophile so i really like the hifi audio DAC, the boring android skin is not a huge deal, there are enough themes to pump it up. at the moment i could get the g7 for 350€ so if i gonna wait some months i am sure to get the g8 for a similar pricetag. and then its nobrainer
I have a Note 9 and serious case of G8 envy.
Got the s10 + android 10 makes it so smoother .
can i just say that the V30, *select* models, have received a January, March and April patch. I was pretty shook LOL, almost exactly a year passed since LG expanded the software division....i think they are fiiiiinally kicking in lmao
Yup. The g8 is even listed for android Q beta as announced by google today.
I have a S10+ and have not had any issues with the unlocking using my finger.
I like most is the s10
