People were saying the G7 wasn't going to be released this year. But with its features, I can feel like LG may be going back to basics with a new addition for its line.
the V30 looked the best... perfect design, big display, small body and so on. the only downside on the V30 was the camera because of the small sensors. But now, LG added these small sensors to the G7 and makes everything worse.
Damn I’m tired of these phones with these stupid notches at the top. Really hoping it’s just a trend for a little while. Much more a fan of the older phone designs.
I've almost made peace with the notch (especially since you can hide it in software). Once you get past that, this doesn't really look any more like an iPhone than most Android phones. This is no Zenfone, iow.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] To me its the symbolism of the metoo that doesn't get points with almost anyone. Everyone knows the design here is following Apple's lead and that doesn't really help a brand in my experience. Nobody is buying this phone because of the notch. It can be disabled as you said. But they know why it has one and that isn't easy to shake off the mind when you're ready to take the plunge.
LG has lost their way so much since the V20. I'm still rocking this phone and its many useful features. Instead of building on this phone, LG has been ripping away features with every iteration. Sadly I cannot see their mobile division recovering until they focus on features over gimmicks again
It's weird, because the V20 pretty much saved their mobile division from the chop. They then used the V20 as base for all thier future phones, but only took some of what made it good and removed other bits that made it good. What happened to ruggedness of the V10 though?!
Mr Mobile...I missed you...there was a feeling of something missing from my life last whole week. And I was bit worried about you also. Unintentionally I did check the channel after every couple of hours to see if there is a new video from you really!!! My heart just is feeling delightful when I see your new video after a week. Please don't put a gap and post as you do twice a week! :) You are the best tech reviewer in the whole universe. Love and respect from Lahore, Pakistan :)
Saw Mathew Moniz's video and thought "Damn,the embargo is lifted already? That was quick", and now this video is up! Really didn't expect the G7 vids to come soon, but I ain't complaining! 😁
Hipster Mate Nah not really new 😂 I first noticed and learned about embargoes when the NextBit Robin launched. I remember someone mentioning about it on Dave2D's video, so I'm used to it! But still, it's so fun to see my sub box fill up in just a few minutes 😁
TechPassion Yup me too, I remember the day when Note 7 was first launched, it crashes the RUclips server for a several minutes because almost all tech RUclipsrs posting their videos at the same time. It's like a foreshadowing of the Note 7 battery gate fiasco HAHAHA
TechPassion LG really wants to surprise us big time but I don't know, I'm not as hyped and pumped to this year's release compared to previous LG releases. Seems like LG loses its charm to me.
And yes I never ever missed even a single video of yours since the start of this channel!! And even before when you were reviewing for another company. :)
Nothing signifies design failure better than a notch. And nothing emphasizes pride associated with technological ineptitude better than a notch along with considerable bezels.
Or a single firing bottom speaker that's loud... As if that's the reason nobody wants to watch anything on a phone. And not because all the audio is pouring out one side like one of your ears is plugged up.
Hey Michael. Nice job illustrating the effectiveness of the wide angle camera 👍 And thanks for keeping LG in check on it's emphasis on those buzz words.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] yeah....still dunno if the LCD can hide the notch, but the boombox feature thingy is quite surprising while maintaining dust and water resistance!!!! 😍😍😍😍😉
Personally, I like the design language of the G6 a lot better than the current one. But I do love all your videos, man! And on a side note, I think that you have some of the most soothing background music too.
So pumped for the full review, I hope LG did it justice this time around. The 1000nit screen seems like it will be useful for short outdoor bursts for viewing the lens finder during sunny days while shooting with the wide angle camera. But yeah, like I said before, can't wait for the full review :D
Same size as the p20 pro but no oled and 1000mah less. Oh my god... why Edit: and no stereo speakers. Boombox seems nice but stereo in landscape mode is always better.
Kiergard Blows my mind how close they can get to getting this right and still find a way to mess it up. Bottom firing amplified mono speakers on a phone in this price range, in 2018. Why did they have to destroy ZTE the year the Axon 9 was supposed to come out? Its not fair.
I'm actually really happy that it doesn't have an oled screen. Finally a flagship phone I can use without being paranoid about burn in. On my op3t I've never used maps in my car because of this :((. Also, they handled the notch pretty well by making it somewhat like a second screen for the status bar so I'm ok with it. Oh and that audio dac is a really nice thing to have. This thing could be the chosen one to replace my op3t.
Amshel 9029 Hmm i was never concerned about burn ins and i am using oled screens since the galaxy S2 :) If you use your device normally you wont have any problems. Its just the static stuff at full brightness for many hours that would leave a mark. I had multiple devices with oleds and also navigated to italy which was a 11 hour trip straight. Never had any problem :)
Tilton Anderson I'd add to that >the notch >no dual speakers >dedicated not programmable button (big waste for people who do not use assistants) >uninspiring design >fingerprint on the back is not a power button anymore, which is a bummer, it was a cool feature Next.
Stan Sid the notch literally doesn't matter, you can hide it if that's what you want. plus, pretty sure the fingerprint on the back is touch sensitive on button.
Thisath Ranawaka Yes, lemme hide the notch, hide the useless assistant button and hide the unnecessary power button on the side. Nah, I'll just hide my money for some other phone that will make me want to use and appreciate it's features rather than hide them. Notch is a terrible design fad and will spoil many a phone this year. Ps. Hiding it does not even work a 100%.
That front facing camera upgrade is what I'm looking forward to. I absolutely love my V30, but as someone who's really started doing more mobile photography having a phone that dose a semi decent front facing shooter would be huge
Can't believe the Android guys didn't see it. This shit of a NOTCH adds nothing to the phone, no functionality what so ever. Even OnePlus 6 is going to have a Notch. Pathetic. If you wanna go bezelless way do it the MI MIX way and do R&D to fit in the speaker, sensors and front camera on the front in a meaningful way.
it's actually the opposite. the Notch makes everythint even worse. The Clock is now on the left side so you only can show up to 3 notification icons while on the right side there is way more unused space. This small detail alone has killed the G7 for me personally.
Tim R. Absolutely. Can't understand this obsession with blindly following APPLE without considering if something is worth doing or not. It's like they all have crap in their heads and wait every year for the new iPhone to come out so that they can copy. Why not innovate yourselves? There are reports of even Apple reconsidering the notch for the next version of iPhone X hopefully embarrassing the Android manufacturers, point in case the explaination by OnePlus CEO and LG survey about the notch.
I think the Essential phone’s solution was fine as well. Yes, there was a notch, but it’s very minimal and functional and doesn’t disturb the screen as much.
Or just do it properly like samsung with a thin bezel on top and bottom to fit camera, sensors and speakers. Mi mix turning upside down to use the camera just shouldn't be a thing 😂
I think this lg phone has everything that i personally want. Look at the cams. Wide and portrait mode all in one. Top cpu. Sd card, 3.5 mm jack...I hope this goes good without bootloops or IR on screen and will be definitely my next phone. Good 1st review , bravo!
Man I must have caught them just before they were diagnosed, I love this LGV30, besides the front cam and "blue tint" when turned at an angle, this phone is my complete package. The battery ain't shabby too, lasting me 30 hours on moderate use, only recently discovered that the battery was this good. I honestly don't think I'll be upgrading anytime within the next 5 years.
Kenton Patterson if you're going to talk about copying the "notch" I bet you Apple copied Essentials. You know how dumb you sound??? It's just a new technology companies are trying to do. Yes the notch looks like the notch from X but you gotta understand that companies will do something similar in order to catch up with recent technology.
Awesome review yet again, Mr. Fisher. Don't suppose there's any hope of this sporting an IR blaster? I realize that's a very small camp to cater to, but a man can dream.
taller than my g6 with no extra usable screen space. narrower wide angle lens. no oled. senseless notch. even when this goes on fire sale in a couple months is still wont sell. how many 6 inch flagship phones does lg need anyway. all they had to do was oled-up the display and give it an 845. instead we get ces drama and lots 'o' nits & a notch. what a waste of resources.
Pitch Black yup, they better quickly redesign this phone. Firstly lose the notch just give me another border on top and give me dual firing speakers. Then give me an oled display (yes despite how good this display is oled is considered better by many).then increase three battery size, I dont care if you gotta add a little bit of thickness for this. And lastly add more ram. Maybe they will do all this with the lg v40, but they already lost with this phone.
The camera isn't working that well. At 2:45 it says "sky" at the mud besides the dude in left and "backpack" on the mud on the other side of him??? I know they said they are working on the camera, but still... 🤨
I personally love my LG G8, I think they're super underrated for the price that their devices end up costing. Same processors as their competition and usually end up cheaper.
Finally they made the finger print sensor, just that. I picked up a G6 about a month ago due to the uncertain fate of the G7, and I love it!Except when I am trying to take a screen shot, or when I went to relic the screen after tapping it to see my notifications. One thing I think LG needs to include though, is a manual resize for the home, back, and task keys. They can get way too big, and in the way! (If there is a setting and I'm just missing it, or there is a hack way to achieve that, PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME!!!) Great video, and keep up the fabulous work!
Notch is being used by all the companies because in order to have a more screen usage .. instead of keeping a plain top bezel. What apple did is using that plain top bezel at the sides and adding clock and other stuff in that plain bezel area leaving the selfie camera and others to have a notch . I know this is practically good for more bezel less screens but that notch is still a cutout and looks ugly and add it to the worse part many apps won't support that cutout . After android P it won't be any issue
I'm not Here I am with my G6 still stuck in Android 7.0 and I know that even when I do get Android 8, I won't be able to enjoy the cool features it has because of LG's software skin If LG joined the Android One program, they could BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ONEPLUS But they haven't ... So ... Even though I use Nova launcher, even though I use Google Camera, I still hate that I have to deal with 2 gallery apps have to look at the non-material theme, I can't switch wifi networks without opening settings and all of those inconveniences Plus the fact that it's pretty smooth but not "buttery"
I just love my brand new USA Unlocked LG G7. Been watching your videos at 4K@60 FPS on my beast! Which device you record on a crazy 4K60? It's incredibly stunning on LG G7!
Just last year, I was the biggest LG fan in the world. Now, I'm not even considering their phones at all. They're so out of touch at this point. Bring back the V20's design and features that we care about and greatly miss. Until then, I'm probably going to stick with the Note every year.
Kanagawa Yarichin . Be even better. I think though they put smaller batteries on purpose. I think they get kickbacks from battery phone case manufacturers.
Question: which accessories will be available for the launching day? Sometimes it's not about the phone but how can you turn it into something else. Video liked as always!
And all of the sudden.. I found my subscription feed full of LG G7 vids .. but I choose Michael Fisher first to watch Thumbs up for the first impression 👍🏻
Michael Very nice love the pics of the boat.I like the simplicity of the look but I think I could never get used to the notch.The more I see it lately I really don't get it.At first, it did not bother me but now that I keep seeing it not sure I can.Love your Reviews always great pics.Also looking forward to seeing more.I know there is much that goes into making your Reviews much Work and definitely appreciate all the hard Work.Thanks so much for sharing.Deb👌👍

UPDATE: Part 2 of this review is now live! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/gUFmvDvmagc/видео.html
why is my Singapore version is aptly named " LG G7+ ThinQ " ?
-----> G7+ . there's a plus + .
is it because mine has 128gb memory ?
I thinQ you just won the title game for LG G7 hands on vids.
Michael Padilla he got 3 days with it for some reason.
Michael Padilla and you just went ahead and copied it.
So instead of a plus version later this year can we call it the thiccQ instead
I see you are a man of culture

LG embargo lifted and I come straight here to see the real deal on the new G7. No one does it better! Can't wait for the full review.
Michael Livote agreed
People were saying the G7 wasn't going to be released this year. But with its features, I can feel like LG may be going back to basics with a new addition for its line.
probably because LG said the phone is cancelled followed by leaks of the G7. It was a very conflicting situation lol.
LG makes the same cuts and mistakes like before while raising the price. This phone for 850 euros (or dollars) is a joke.
sic22l
It's going to be 630 euros.
@Jake Cho
I heard 849€.
sic22l
You heard wrong. Even V30 didn't launch at that price, And it has OLED.
I just don’t like that iPhone-like screen,
LG G6 looks better in my opinion.
the V30 looked the best... perfect design, big display, small body and so on. the only downside on the V30 was the camera because of the small sensors. But now, LG added these small sensors to the G7 and makes everything worse.
Tim R. What are you talking about?
Or you can get rid of the notch in the settings
Rod 143 no. the v30 looks better
Rod 143 to bad the g6 is a piece of crap in todays hardware world with it's 2016 processor
Damn I’m tired of these phones with these stupid notches at the top. Really hoping it’s just a trend for a little while. Much more a fan of the older phone designs.
Matthew Lemmers you can hide it with the switch
Rath K hide it but it's still there we don't want it.
You can buy some other phone if you dont like notch like samsung
Why do they all make iphone lookalikes, they are not even those cheap chinese copycat companies, its bloody LG.
I've almost made peace with the notch (especially since you can hide it in software). Once you get past that, this doesn't really look any more like an iPhone than most Android phones. This is no Zenfone, iow.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] but the Samsung "infinity display" looks much better in my opinion, I would fancy them copying that rather than the notch :)
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] To me its the symbolism of the metoo that doesn't get points with almost anyone. Everyone knows the design here is following Apple's lead and that doesn't really help a brand in my experience. Nobody is buying this phone because of the notch. It can be disabled as you said. But they know why it has one and that isn't easy to shake off the mind when you're ready to take the plunge.
As long as they didn't copy Apple it's all good
Its almost like all the tech companies are using the same gen of tech as each other and coming up with similar designs because of that....
LG has lost their way so much since the V20. I'm still rocking this phone and its many useful features. Instead of building on this phone, LG has been ripping away features with every iteration. Sadly I cannot see their mobile division recovering until they focus on features over gimmicks again
It's weird, because the V20 pretty much saved their mobile division from the chop. They then used the V20 as base for all thier future phones, but only took some of what made it good and removed other bits that made it good.
What happened to ruggedness of the V10 though?!
That notch doesn't make any sense, because of that chin
Exactly, the same as that shitty ass P20 Pro
Нейтральный угол / Кайрат Ибраев totally agree.
It doesn't make any sense period just do what Samsung does for their Galaxy flagships full on infinity display
Нейтральный угол / Кайрат Ибраев very android phone has a chin. But the iPhone X does not
Kudos on being the only reviewer that I've heard commenting on the sensor size on the wide angle camera unit.
Saw five G7 videos pop up on my feed
Came here first
Mr Mobile...I missed you...there was a feeling of something missing from my life last whole week. And I was bit worried about you also. Unintentionally I did check the channel after every couple of hours to see if there is a new video from you really!!! My heart just is feeling delightful when I see your new video after a week. Please don't put a gap and post as you do twice a week! :) You are the best tech reviewer in the whole universe. Love and respect from Lahore, Pakistan :)
G6 headphone jack on top :(
G7 headphone jack on bottom :)
I remember when top or bottom was the biggest concern when it came to headphone jacks.
not until they started removing them
RoseWolfz Prime
nah, I put my phone head first in my pocket. Bottom all the way.
I put my phone in bottom first; but that's because the headphone jack is on the top.
if you are driving, and mount your phone on the dashboard, it matters.
I really love how you present your reviews.
Most underrated tech reviewer on RUclips. MKBHD, you should take some notes how to do it.
nikchris69 Both RUclipsrs are amazing and everyone can learn from one another. Props to both of them :)
Appreciate the compliment but I love MKBHD's work and Marques is one of the nicest and coolest dudes I know, so please cool it on the shade. :)
nikchris69 yeah a guy with close to 600k subs is "underrated".
What a professional answer by mr mobile lol
Prince Revolver yes, he is one of the top dogs
I was waiting for this all day!!! 😄
Really nice hands on video, I can't wait to see the 2nd part and the full review!
I'm still waiting for that P20 Pro review :/
Finally its here G7!
No wonder you visited South korea~
The best phone reviews is done here!
You definitely deserve 1M subscribers
Thank you for not just completely bashing the phone into the ground. So many other people are doing that. It’s nice to see another perspective.
Saw Mathew Moniz's video and thought "Damn,the embargo is lifted already? That was quick", and now this video is up! Really didn't expect the G7 vids to come soon, but I ain't complaining! 😁
TechPassion You're probably new to the smartphone world here in RUclips HAHAHA
Hipster Mate Nah not really new 😂 I first noticed and learned about embargoes when the NextBit Robin launched. I remember someone mentioning about it on Dave2D's video, so I'm used to it! But still, it's so fun to see my sub box fill up in just a few minutes 😁

Definetely a whole lot of information covered here than MKBHD to be honest
Frank Einstein that's why I came here first and just go skip everybody else
MKBHD is a sell-out.
This is the fullest review I've seen so far. Thanks
Nothing signifies design failure better than a notch. And nothing emphasizes pride associated with technological ineptitude better than a notch along with considerable bezels.
Or a single firing bottom speaker that's loud... As if that's the reason nobody wants to watch anything on a phone. And not because all the audio is pouring out one side like one of your ears is plugged up.
J A Unfortunelly notch is the new pattern.
The LG G7 is one of the most underrated flagship of 2018. At around 350-400$ it's a steal!
LG G4 era please come back ! Damn we miss those times.
Package Corner don't judge me for this but the g3 was my favorite even though it crapped out on me three in a half years later.
The g3 was a hell of a design for its time, it inspired a generation of smartphones. These days we settle for notches.
I know right? And it was somehow unique with it's design back then, not having the same look like almost every single phone out in the market.
Hey Michael. Nice job illustrating the effectiveness of the wide angle camera 👍 And thanks for keeping LG in check on it's emphasis on those buzz words.
Damn....I thought they would improve on the display.
It's substantially brighter and doesn't have any of the issues the V30/Pixel 2XL had with their OLEDs, so there's that.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] yeah....still dunno if the LCD can hide the notch, but the boombox feature thingy is quite surprising while maintaining dust and water resistance!!!! 😍😍😍😍😉
COD4LIFE actually its look better than the v30 oled ....
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Ok cool. I have the G6. Just wanted to know if there was a substantial difference.
Amal Crispin Oh ok.
Love listening to your reviews. Keep up the great work!
You are a Tech God, my friend!
This video was pure eye candy.😍 Fantastic backdrops, Crisp shots, and a great review!🔥
ThanQ for such a top notch video!

Man your voice! I can hear this 24*7 🔥😀 As usual awesome video to the point.
>Only 3000 mah battery
>LCD Display
>Same crappy software skin
It's a no go for me.

I'd add to that
>the notch
>no dual speakers
>dedicated not programmable button (big waste for people who do not use assistants)
>uninspiring design
>fingerprint on the back is not a power button anymore, which is a bummer, it was a cool feature
Next.
Stan Sid the notch literally doesn't matter, you can hide it if that's what you want. plus, pretty sure the fingerprint on the back is touch sensitive on button.
Tilton Anderson not worth an upgrade over the G6
Tilton Anderson the LCD display is not a bad thing though.
Thisath Ranawaka
Yes, lemme hide the notch, hide the useless assistant button and hide the unnecessary power button on the side. Nah, I'll just hide my money for some other phone that will make me want to use and appreciate it's features rather than hide them.

A Wide Angle initial review...lots covered! great stuff Michael ..looking forward to Part 2...pd is it Thin in quality?
So glad they've improved the selfie camera! Much easier to recommend to my friends now.
So, so necessary.
I think this lg phone has everything that i personally want. Look at the cams. Wide and portrait mode all in one. Top cpu. Sd card, 3.5 mm jack...I hope this goes good without bootloops or IR on screen and will be definitely my next phone.
Good 1st review , bravo!
Love this channel, LG is dying of cancer slowly but surely, instead of innovating they are copying
Kenton Patterson at least they are not copying Apple so it's fine
Stephen Rees what are you blind? The notch
Man I must have caught them just before they were diagnosed, I love this LGV30, besides the front cam and "blue tint" when turned at an angle, this phone is my complete package.
The battery ain't shabby too, lasting me 30 hours on moderate use, only recently discovered that the battery was this good.
I honestly don't think I'll be upgrading anytime within the next 5 years.
iTouchin I always liked the V30 series it's almost like someone else is making them for LG..
Kenton Patterson if you're going to talk about copying the "notch" I bet you Apple copied Essentials. You know how dumb you sound??? It's just a new technology companies are trying to do. Yes the notch looks like the notch from X but you gotta understand that companies will do something similar in order to catch up with recent technology.
Still loving my G6. I really think LG phones are underrated.
I always thought it was "think Q" 😂
That blue color looks great, and so does that different speaker. Awsome review as always
Notch? Ouch! X_x
TheGreekGeeks Yeah notch really digging it myself.
Liked this video before I began watching it. After watching it, I have no regrets. Great vid!
Another awesome review brother..What's the prize u anticipate of it?
Ur biggest fan from India👌👌

Awesome review yet again, Mr. Fisher.
Don't suppose there's any hope of this sporting an IR blaster?
I realize that's a very small camp to cater to, but a man can dream.
taller than my g6 with no extra usable screen space. narrower wide angle lens. no oled. senseless notch. even when this goes on fire sale in a couple months is still wont sell. how many 6 inch flagship phones does lg need anyway. all they had to do was oled-up the display and give it an 845. instead we get ces drama and lots 'o' nits & a notch. what a waste of resources.
Don't forget that battery, this is looking to be a disappointing phone. Shit u could get the g6 for under 300 bucks unlocked on eBay.
The g7 will drop in price so fast.
Pitch Black yup, they better quickly redesign this phone. Firstly lose the notch just give me another border on top and give me dual firing speakers. Then give me an oled display (yes despite how good this display is oled is considered better by many).then increase three battery size, I dont care if you gotta add a little bit of thickness for this. And lastly add more ram. Maybe they will do all this with the lg v40, but they already lost with this phone.
The camera isn't working that well. At 2:45 it says "sky" at the mud besides the dude in left and "backpack" on the mud on the other side of him??? I know they said they are working on the camera, but still... 🤨
Shhhh. Don't let Huawei know or they will fit a wide angle lens in their next phone making it 4 lens at the back! :P
I personally love my LG G8, I think they're super underrated for the price that their devices end up costing. Same processors as their competition and usually end up cheaper.
I think both LG and Samsung sucks in the software updates department... Nice phones tough! ;D
ネーナ・トリニティ Samsung is fucking insane, Oreo came out after the S9 release date
Lunatics, and I bet I won't get Android P
but much better than sony
Finally they made the finger print sensor, just that. I picked up a G6 about a month ago due to the uncertain fate of the G7, and I love it!Except when I am trying to take a screen shot, or when I went to relic the screen after tapping it to see my notifications. One thing I think LG needs to include though, is a manual resize for the home, back, and task keys. They can get way too big, and in the way! (If there is a setting and I'm just missing it, or there is a hack way to achieve that, PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME!!!) Great video, and keep up the fabulous work!
The notch is NOT intuitive ,why are all oems copying apple
It makes design of all phones feel the same.
rohith ramesh It's painful to admit, but Android manufacturers copying Apple's design demonstrates that they think people want iPhones.
I like sumsung now becz its the only one who doesnt copy apple.
Notch is being used by all the companies because in order to have a more screen usage .. instead of keeping a plain top bezel. What apple did is using that plain top bezel at the sides and adding clock and other stuff in that plain bezel area leaving the selfie camera and others to have a notch . I know this is practically good for more bezel less screens but that notch is still a cutout and looks ugly and add it to the worse part many apps won't support that cutout . After android P it won't be any issue
If priced correctly, I don't see any reason for not selecting this phone..
And as usual, ur the best when it comes to review videos. Thank you.
the notch again the worst smartphone trend ever😫😫😫
followed by 18:9 aspect ratio. And no LED notifications in mid-range devices.
Headphone jack circumcision is far worse.
Krystal Myth no bro i dont think so
Krystal Myth that's a good thing actually.
the notch is fine- some people like it, aka me. the worst trend is the lack of headphone jack.
Three of them upload the same Video at the same time. It is such a welcomed coincidence!
I am so proud of LG
Δημήτρης Χρήστου 😂😂 on what exsactly, they suck so bad
I'm not
Here I am with my G6 still stuck in Android 7.0 and I know that even when I do get Android 8, I won't be able to enjoy the cool features it has because of LG's software skin
If LG joined the Android One program, they could BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ONEPLUS
But they haven't ... So ... Even though I use Nova launcher, even though I use Google Camera, I still hate that I have to deal with 2 gallery apps have to look at the non-material theme, I can't switch wifi networks without opening settings and all of those inconveniences
Plus the fact that it's pretty smooth but not "buttery"
rip. My mid-range X compact has been on Android 8 for a long time, even on April security patch.
I just love my brand new USA Unlocked LG G7. Been watching your videos at 4K@60 FPS on my beast! Which device you record on a crazy 4K60? It's incredibly stunning on LG G7!
Saw your review before MKBHD's..
Always the best !!👌
Just last year, I was the biggest LG fan in the world. Now, I'm not even considering their phones at all. They're so out of touch at this point. Bring back the V20's design and features that we care about and greatly miss. Until then, I'm probably going to stick with the Note every year.
Amazing review. Keep up the good work.
3000 mah battery ruins it so forget it.
Mr. Carroll Ware No Longer Going To Feed The Trolls The Snapdragon inside the LG is power efficient, so it should be better than the G6.
Seruto . The snapdragon 845 is not so efficient in the Galaxy s9 and that has a 3500 Mah battery. They need to put 4500 or 5000 Mah battery in phones.
+Mr. Carroll Ware No Longer Going To Feed The Trolls 6000
Kanagawa Yarichin . Be even better. I think though they put smaller batteries on purpose. I think they get kickbacks from battery phone case manufacturers.
They just should made the battery removable, it would fix all battery problems
Awesome video as always.... Loove ur videos❤❤
im gona buy a v30 after v40 is launched😂😂😂
Prices should drop
Best Tech reviewer on RUclips (MKBHD=HYPE)
Perfection is MrMobile 😍 who agrees?
Timothy L me
That Lava Red G7 looks so good, damn! 😍 1:15
Lcd display in 2018 no ThinQ LG 😂😂
sangram shrikhande LCDs are underated though.
Kevin V. Ikr? It does not burn in like samsung's AMOLED
Justine Diamante Samsung display don't have burn in issues since 2012
Justine Diamante even if it has burn in samsung will give you a replacement with the 2 year guarantee then your fkd
i have s7 edge and my screen is burnt in i think because the color look so faded when i go out into the sun.
Michael you are an awesome speaker. love your way of talking ....enjoy your videos ...
I already own galaxy s9 plus and I don't care
sky lord You will after 2 years😂😂
Sudhanshu bajracharya will think for now I am Gucci
But yet you’re here and commenting
sky lord So a gimmicky s8?
It's the same crap
Question: which accessories will be available for the launching day? Sometimes it's not about the phone but how can you turn it into something else.
Video liked as always!
Sorry LG but the OnePlus 6 is going to be better!
1080p one plus crap display
Abhishek OnePlus 6 has amoled, this doesn't so it's a tie on screen imo
How about no
Connor McDonald In terms of software, OnePlus wins. But that's just me being biased towards stock-ish Android.
Lewys Cousins the LG G7 is not worth an upgrade from the G6 nor the v20
Enjoyed the new music this time around MrMobile!
Mr Mobile 🔥
And all of the sudden.. I found my subscription feed full of LG G7 vids .. but I choose Michael Fisher first to watch
Thumbs up for the first impression 👍🏻
Hey Michael, how is the feel of the phone in the hand as compared to the V30? Wish more manufacturers went for ergonomics a la Sony this year.
Is it glass back ? And also wanted to hear that boom box audio in part 2
Watched this vid before any other review from tech tubers 😍😍😍😍
How was your trip to Jeju? Please let me know how their return to IPS feels like.
Hey Michael.. Is there an FM radio on the G7?
Any Information about localization? Biggest problem with LG is, that other than asian market often only get "lesser" versions of thier phones.
Love you Mr.mobile... love your vedios.... Amazing review!!
Thanks for this review! Now I'm really excited for the Note 9.
Love from the Philippines!✨
Michael, tell me where you got those sunglasses from!!!!!
Michael Very nice love the pics of the boat.I like the simplicity of the look but I think I could never get used to the notch.The more I see it lately I really don't get it.At first, it did not bother me but now that I keep seeing it not sure I can.Love your Reviews always great pics.Also looking forward to seeing more.I know there is much that goes into making your Reviews much Work and definitely appreciate all the hard Work.Thanks so much for sharing.Deb👌👍
And mic your are aweaome your dialog delivery is very good 😍
