Control your Phone without Touching it!

LG is fighting for its life. The company’s mobile division continues to bleed cash. So much so, in fact, that LG Electronics folded its mobile business into its general consumer electronics business to mask mobile’s (poor) performance. With its phones struggling, each and every device from LG needs to have an impact.

The G8 ThinQ is LG’s smaller flagship for 2019. It competes directly with the Samsung Galaxy S10, Apple iPhone XS, Google Pixel 3, and Huawei P30 Pro. While it checks off most of the boxes in terms of specs and features, it doesn’t necessarily deliver on the emotional component that often drives purchases. This inability to elicit desire is what hurts LG most.


Watching the LG G8 ThinQ made me feel like Master of None, it's very simple like if you wanna buy it than i suggest you should but Galaxy S10E, it is much better than G8 and more cheaper.

Here is Official Product Video of LG G8

At its core, the G8 is a competent Android 9 Pie phone with the latest Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM. It has a sharp 6.1-inch OLED display, a screen-rattling loudspeaker, and a headphone jack bolstered by a Quad DAC that sounds incredible with wired headphones. The G8 also offers wireless charging, supports microSD storage, and has an IP68 rating against water and dust ingress.

Most of what I just listed describes what you’ll also get in 2018’s LG G7 ThinQ, which you can find for roughly half the cost of the $820 G8. In fact, the G8’s design is mostly a rehash, with its 19.5:9 screen aspect ratio and wide notch to match, though the G8’s notch is a little different. Populated by a new Z Camera multi-sensor system, it can unlock the phone securely using your face or your hand’s vein structure. Z Camera also allows for the phone’s other big feature, Air Motion, which lets you use hand gestures to, say, raise the volume or pause a song in Spotify, without touching the G8.

The G8 is a recycled G7 as far as the basic blueprint goes. It’s nigh impossible to tell them apart from a few feet away. Only the shape of the camera module sets them apart visually. LG calls the stark glass-and-metal look “minimalism.” Others (myself included) might call it boring. Ultimately, the G8 looks just fine.

This visual similarity unfortunately undercuts the achievements LG made with the materials of the G8. The company applied a “four-side bending method” to all the edges, making the aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass 6 panels merge together seamlessly. I’ve seen tight designs before, but the G8 is really tight. There’s absolutely no unevenness — the glass and metal match flawlessly.

As it turns out, LG's list of cutting edge features is not among the short ones either. Aside from the Snapdragon 855, the G8's key selling points are the Crystal Sound OLED (piezoelectric) screen, the 3D ToF sensor on the front capable of advanced facial and palm recognition and the so-called Air Motion gestures.

Strangely enough, we think that those features won't be the main driving factor of a future G8 ThinQ buyer. No, in fact, it's the compact size of the handset that will attract some customers. Although the 6.1" screen diagonal isn't exactly "compact", with competing phones easily touting 6.4-inch or 6.5-inch screen diagonals, this one stands out as a compact proposition. Price-wise, the G8 ThinQ is also a decent alternative to the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S10.

The charger is in there and it supports 9V/1.8A (16W) output or in other words Quick Charge 3.0. It comes with a detachable standard USB-A to USB-C data and charging cable.

MKBHD says in his video
                                          " It's pretty decent at pretty much everything in fact you probably wouldn't regret getting one but it doesn't stand out in any major way for 820$ above the competition to actually give you a reason to go get one.

He further said " There is absolutely nothing wrong with it all, it's just very plain, it not encouraging to go crazy for this and make weird choice and the specs are fine the software is smooth except for scrolling for some reason the scrolling physics especially in the app drawer are super stuttery and this is really weird for a brand new phone like this to straight-up stutter so I almost feel like this a software bug and the rest of the phone is fine."

So summing up the article by saying this that LG G8 is not that good and it's just an average phone.
