But you can disable the notch and you can go to settings and change your home type to enable the app drawer so dont mislead viewers by saying they have to have all apps on the home screen
Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, Super bright screen option, SD Card, FM Radio, Waterproofing, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes, great job LG.
Just lying in my bed in Washington DC thinking about buying a new phone before going back home and then I saw the pictures you took in Varna ( my home town) hahaha epic
Phone is super great, no matter what others said, I have the phone after reading so many bad reviews on it, and this phone is really the greatest of LG, and the feels on your hands is great, I hate the notch but well that's my only complaint about the G7, and yes it worth the upgrade, it's a lot a lot by far better than the G6 that it was a very nice phone from last year, everything I can tell you about the g7 is great, I had my doubts anyways I get it and can't stop loving it, well that's just my sincere opinion... Good luck...
It actually feels amazing in use overall, from the size and build quality, to the boombox sound, headphone sound, to the haptics. Went from HTC U11 to this. The camera is lot better than stock if using the Google camera port.
There's a lot to like about this phone - the audio speaker, the screen (LCD does the job just fine), the google assistant button (no Bixby) and so on. However, it does have it's shortfalls (mainly the camera which is good but not on par with other flagships like the P20 pro or the iPhone X or the S9+ and, of course, that battery which was bigger in the G6). So I think a lot of folks will enjoy owning this phone but to me it is not worth $750.00 for what you are getting. To me this phone continues the great progress LG made with the G6 but they still have work to do to get it into the top tier (if that's what they are aiming for with the G series and not the V).
Watching on my G7 And I love it more than my iphone9 and samsung s8 I always reach for my LG G7 at the start of each day It's headphone jack, camera, fingerprint scanner and face id are on point LG-Squad Roll Call! It has a boombox ondeck Customisation to the tee Balls out homes
I really like it but the only reason that i am still condidering the S9+ is the stereo speakers and the 6GB RAM. I really dont understand why LG didnt put stereo speakers and completely destroy the competition at sound sector. Also i dont understand the 4GB. Its like LG says wait for the V40
There's a version of the G7 with 6GB Ram plus 4Gb is plenty enough for 2018 The Lg also has the boombox speaker and from what i've heard it's loudest and best sounding smartphone around rn
AblazeSiren 6 this version is not available In Europe. The speaker is a perfect one but some reiviewers prefer stereo speakers . also the experience will be better with stereo speakers when you hold it. That's what I am telling . if it was stereo then there would be no competition...agree ?
Alex Alex you could import it and not all stereo speakers are great.But hey if you want stereo speakers who am I to stop you it's your money so get what you feel is best
I was ready to jump ship to Google when my G5 needs replacing, but this phone may have won me back over. Next year, when the prices drop, I might be searching ebay for one.
Many tech reviewers failed to mention that the G7 is the "1st" to have 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Same with last year by introducing 18:9 display. A factor that you might consider if you want to grip your phone on a one hand usability and a bit taller.
@PhoneArena i really trust you, but i want someone to explain me how is is possible (and fair) that on your review G7 scores 8/10 while 1+6 and the simple S9 get a 9/10 .Pricewise G7 is about 50 more euro than 1+ and about the same with the S9
Well, I am not from PhoneArena but I think this is pretty simple actually: S9 has better display, better camera, and better overall software. 1+6 has better display, way better software and faster updates, better battery life, while on camera department it's on the same level, or even better than G7. I don't know where are you living, but pricewise LG G7 is more expensive than even S9, not to mention 1+6 which is clearly cheaper. Feel free to disagree with me, everyone has its own opinion, as its normal.
I personally hate Samsung software. Everyone I know has a leggy samsung device. I had the s9 and returned it. For me its about functionality. Samsung just didn't fit my needs, wide-angle camera and quad DAC is all I need to be sold.
Too large for one hand use, would've been better if they'd stayed with LG G6 form format. Wish they had release a smaller phone like Samsung does. Too bad.
I had G6 for a year....didn't do much other than normal functions and youtube/Netflix....awesome camera!....battery was still great for my usage! G6 is a beautiful phone, but after a year it felt very slow, processor wise.
NO NOT S9 I HATE THAT PHONE but seriously i like s8 better than s9 because they ripped off AR Emoji with Mickey Mouse on it plus it can't record Super Slow Motion at 1080p because Samsung is too lazy to put 1080p in Super Slow Motion feature that's my opinion i mean AR Emoji is nothing but a gimmick
Yes, It is January 2020 and I'm thinking about buying this phone! Does anyone know if LG is going to keep supporting this phone for a few more years? And, does LG upgrade the system often like Apple does? Thanks! Switching from Apple phone...
I don't know if LG G7 have HDR on/off option in the menu as in my LG G4, because with HDR On my LG G4 takes way better than normal shot, and HDR shot with my LG G4 is far different than any other device's HDR shot. And i love the super wide angle lense LG using, very useful for landscape photography.
They dropped the back button? Peace out LG that was the only thing keeping me from the Pixel line but with it gone, it's just a Pixel 2 with a worse camera.
Заслужавали си да си дам xiaomi mi8(6/128)за този? Играя много pubg mobile и снимам доста :)Такъв ми предлага френдче (4/64) Не съм фен на шаоми,но е машина и се колебая...
sky works screen. Camera. Processer. Those are things that make a phone a phone lmao. That's like saying I'ma buy a $30 Android phone because this phone is only better on processer and camera.
The G7 is one of the best phone right now? Ehm.. no? - smaller battery (my V30 gets almost twice the battery life... 22h with up to 7h SoT...) - smaller wide angle - still only 4GB and 64GB (for most countries) - LCD + Notch (and because of the Notch the clock is left placed which is so annoying) - horrible camera hardware (too small sensors) - way overpriced - it has a f*cking bixby button (it doesn't matter that is starts Google Assistent. It's still a nor remappeble hardware button!) - no more IR port - this "super bright" display only works for 3min... - still mono speaker and f*uck this "there is a little distortion"! This is NORMAL on a wide angle! This stupid sentence is the reason why LG is reducing this awesome feature to almost useless. The G5 back there had 135°. And now we only have 107° left. The dual camera is a reason to pick the G7 over EVERY other phone? hell no. Just pick the V30. It's better in almost every point except this useless speaker trick. And it's way cheaper.
But you can disable the notch and you can go to settings and change your home type to enable the app drawer so dont mislead viewers by saying they have to have all apps on the home screen
I can't wait to get this. Watching it on my LG V20
The V40 is supposed to be insane with 5 cameras apparently
Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, Super bright screen option, SD Card, FM Radio, Waterproofing, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes, great job LG.

Thanks. To bad it doesn't have a bigger battery. Aside from that it seems well thought out, and the notch ain't that bad.
I love my G7
THe guy says the screen is blue is that true for you?
Crashbanksbuysilver I own one I don’t see any blue screen issues. This phone is great for me and you’ll probably enjoy it if you’re considering one.
I have a LG phoenix 2 with a cracked screen.
Should I upgrade to the g7?
Phone is super great, no matter what others said, I have the phone after reading so many bad reviews on it, and this phone is really the greatest of LG, and the feels on your hands is great, I hate the notch but well that's my only complaint about the G7, and yes it worth the upgrade, it's a lot a lot by far better than the G6 that it was a very nice phone from last year, everything I can tell you about the g7 is great, I had my doubts anyways I get it and can't stop loving it, well that's just my sincere opinion...

Watching on my g7
Giovanny Melendez hows it
How’s the 2k 60fps video camera quality? Is it stabilised?
Can you upload some footage let me know
Usman Hameed offical great , does everything I need it to do and some , the battery is good and camera is great
Giovanny Melendez could you upload 2k video sample???
Won't be getting one, but what a superb review - very clear, concise and informative. Well done.
I have had it since released. Great phone.
I respect samsung because they didn't give a damn about the notch...
that's not entirely true. They added that 'thing' on the top right side of the screen.
Until the s10 and note 10 came out with something worse
It actually feels amazing in use overall, from the size and build quality, to the boombox sound, headphone sound, to the haptics. Went from HTC U11 to this. The camera is lot better than stock if using the Google camera port.

The LG G7 is now on sale here in Sweden for $475. What do you think about that?
Watching on my G7
And I love it more than my iphone9 and samsung s8
I always reach for my LG G7 at the start of each day
It's headphone jack, camera, fingerprint scanner and face id are on point
LG-Squad Roll Call!
It has a boombox ondeck
Customisation to the tee
Balls out homes
I really like it but the only reason that i am still condidering the S9+ is the stereo speakers and the 6GB RAM. I really dont understand why LG didnt put stereo speakers and completely destroy the competition at sound sector. Also i dont understand the 4GB. Its like LG says wait for the V40
Alex Alex Agreed, those are big for me too.
The LG G7 sounds louder
There's a version of the G7 with 6GB Ram plus 4Gb is plenty enough for 2018

Alex Alex you could import it and not all stereo speakers are great.But hey if you want stereo speakers who am I to stop you it's your money so get what you feel is best
A thing worth noting about the 'boombox' speaker, the vibrations produced with any audio makes holding the phone feel terrible while audio plays.
I was ready to jump ship to Google when my G5 needs replacing, but this phone may have won me back over. Next year, when the prices drop, I might be searching ebay for one.
Many tech reviewers failed to mention that the G7 is the "1st" to have 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Same with last year by introducing 18:9 display. A factor that you might consider if you want to grip your phone on a one hand usability and a bit taller.
When is it coming to India?
@PhoneArena i really trust you, but i want someone to explain me how is is possible (and fair) that on your review G7 scores 8/10 while 1+6 and the simple S9 get a 9/10 .Pricewise G7 is about 50 more euro than 1+ and about the same with the S9
I'd love to know as well.
LG G7 is a better device than One Plus 6
G7 is way better
Well, I am not from PhoneArena but I think this is pretty simple actually:
S9 has better display, better camera, and better overall software.
1+6 has better display, way better software and faster updates, better battery life, while on camera department it's on the same level, or even better than G7.

Is it still beast in 2020?
Is the quad dac as good as V30 ? Kindly confirm, so i can purchase it.
What's the screen size without a notch part?
Cool video. Can u do comparison with lgv35?
Does the G7 shoot in 4K at 60 FPS? Or does it only shoot 4K at 30 FPS?
Excellent review
Is it having dual 4g volte technology.means in india two jio sim will work together or not
Good day,
What is the water racing game on 5.1min? Thank you.
3:16 I don't have that brightness boost timeout option...
Watching this on my G7.. This phone is the real beast✌
Still no potrait mode? I have g6 and there is no potrait mode in it disappointing and it is also not very smoot while gaming
I have a strong suspicious that the next pixel phones are just rebranded lg Thinq 7
Too large for one hand use, would've been better if they'd stayed with LG G6 form format. Wish they had release a smaller phone like Samsung does. Too bad.
Love my g6 no reason to updrage unless I break it
How is the battery?
I had G6 for a year....didn't do much other than normal functions and youtube/Netflix....awesome camera!....battery was still great for my usage! G6 is a beautiful phone, but after a year it felt very slow, processor wise.
NO NOT S9 I HATE THAT PHONE but seriously i like s8 better than s9 because they ripped off AR Emoji with Mickey Mouse on it plus it can't record Super Slow Motion at 1080p because Samsung is too lazy to put 1080p in Super Slow Motion feature that's my opinion i mean AR Emoji is nothing but a gimmick
Why thank you but don't go full isheep on them otherwise everyone insults you on the internet
Yea sure go ahead own a IPhone 8
Should be pronounced as "THINK" becoz phone can think by Google AI
milan agravat Clever
milan agravat I was thinking that the entire time. everyone was saying thin " Q" when it should have been ""THINK"
Sebastian J its THINK
Sebastian J THINK.THINK.THINK!
LG themselves pronounce it as "Thin-Q" - Not "Think"
Yes, It is January 2020 and I'm thinking about buying this phone! Does anyone know if LG is going to keep supporting this phone for a few more years? And, does LG upgrade the system often like Apple does? Thanks! Switching from Apple phone...
I know the main camera is made by Sony but I want to know who made the wide angle camera Sony or Samsung?
Lg g7 vs note 8 which one has better camera
I don't know if LG G7 have HDR on/off option in the menu as in my LG G4, because with HDR On my LG G4 takes way better than normal shot, and HDR shot with my LG G4 is far different than any other device's HDR shot. And i love the super wide angle lense LG using, very useful for landscape photography.
LG is always best screen and style all
I love my lg g7 and mate 10 pro! Astonishing
Some one help me out please
I'm a bit confused to choose
I wanna pick either
lg g7 or lg v35 ??
V35. Or V30.
- bigger battery + better battery life
- OLED (way better for AOD)
- more compact
- no notch
- cheaper
Tim R. Thx tim
You played Titan Quest on that?!
They dropped the back button? Peace out LG that was the only thing keeping me from the Pixel line but with it gone, it's just a Pixel 2 with a worse camera.
I feel the same way. I prefer the back power button. Dam it lg. I think the v30 is my last lg phone.
You never liked LG who leaves over a power button?
That sounds ridiculously nitpicky.
Also the pixel 2 still hold title for best camera till this date
This is my favorite phone so far fast amazing and awesome screen. And wow to the BOOM box speakers party in the palm of your hands
Is this phone has slow mo like s9+??
Salman Amin yes of course
Stantard Slow-mo. I thinko 240 FPS. S9+ has 900 something
How is the pubg performance on g7?
I think V35 is a better bargain than G7 at this moment in all aspects. Is LG releasing V40 or V45 (not sure with the numbering) soon??
Got an offer for 430€ and now i can't decide. This or mate 10 pro/one+6 for about 100€ more 🤔
Watching it on my LG G7
Good review 👍🏻🧟♂️
Price in india?
akshay ranjan 39990 only on Flipkart.
Seems like a pretty great phone! Seems similar to my galaxy s8
I don't see anything wrong with LG G7 THINQ. When it comes to hardware LG phones are the best
your accent remind me of that famous joker scene when he says "Frrrrrrrrrrrrreak"
You can go manual mode
Заслужавали си да си дам xiaomi mi8(6/128)за този?
Играя много pubg mobile и снимам доста :)Такъв ми предлага френдче (4/64) Не съм фен на шаоми,но е машина и се колебая...
I will buy that after my birthday.
Beautiful phone, pity it was small battery.
If Apple released this with same specs and everything everybody would hate it
Lg g7 15000 ka kaha mil raha bhai????????????
I wish someone would review the keyboard and Emojis
Best of 2017
If only it had a OLED screen...
and a larger battery
Klaus Barbie Maybe on first generation ones... I doubt the new ones will have burn in issues
Why does battery life suck so bad?!
The Samsung S8 plus hits a 1,000 nits . The Note 8 hits 1,200 nits. So this phone can be the brightest you've ever seen or tested!
It feels like v30 is more worth it considering the price gap
I have the G6 and I love my phone😍
I love LG😘😘😘😘😘
Add subtitles please.
When the huawei p9 lite has more features.... Feels bad. : | .. but i love its brightness and speaker :D and its performance tho
Pretty sure this is what Pixel 3 will look like
XL
The notch will be bigger on the Pixel 3 XL I think.
I will buy that If I have a money or After my birthday.
Best buy and Verizon both advised me not to buy this phone or any LG cell phones...that's why they are not selling well.
The note 8 has 1260 nt brightness display
I put my iphone 7 on my g7 and the screen was bigger then the entire iphone 😂
Was looking fwd to getting this... Till found out stupid AT&T won't carry it, and no talk of what special LG model they WILL have in its place.
Just imagine how epic it would be having an LG G7 Thin Q with a Samsung OLED panel, and Stock Android. That will be my favorite phone
Watching on my iPad mini 😛
Страхотен клип! Поздрави от Русе
2.04 has durian 😄. Do you eat durian ?
Yes

Is this the one partnered with BTS or do you have to get like BTS edition
Dat unibrow tho
I wanted to buy this phone from the carrier but because it is a bit bigger and I dont like LG software I bought Samsung A8.
sky works a8 vs g7? Lol they don't even compete
Mario L I know they dont, but at the end only the back camera is a bit bettet and the procesor is faster.
Too bad for u
Back Camera? mmm nah still not even close..... Too bad for you
sky works screen. Camera. Processer. Those are things that make a phone a phone lmao. That's like saying I'ma buy a $30 Android phone because this phone is only better on processer and camera.
atleast they tried something NEW
Doesn't convince me it's nowhere near as good as my S9 + still good review
CPhil same here
Samsucks
The G7 is one of the best phone right now? Ehm.. no?

The reviewer sounds like Gru

Amir Alavi i am an Indian and never came across any such accent by any fellow Indian
