LG G7 ThinQ review: A worthy S9 rival with a notch

LG has made notable improvements with the G7 ThinQ, and it might very well be the company's best phone yet. Not only does it has great looks and a gorgeous display, it also boasts unique features like a super-bright screen for outdoor use, a crazy-loud...

Beautiful display with 1000-nit brightness boost ; Dedicated Google Assistant button ; 3.5-mm headset jack for old-school audiophiles ; Super-loud speaker ; Decent photo quality

AI camera is hit or miss ; Notch is not for everyone ; Mediocre battery life

LG G7 ThinQ review

The LG G7 ThinQ checks off all the boxes on the list, but it isn't exciting.

Brilliant-sounding speakers ; Speedy software ; Solid battery life ; Versatile camera ; Useful Super Bright Display

Dull design ; AI Cam needs work ; Camera suffers in low light

The LG G7 ThinQ is a very good phone, but it will fly under the radar because it doesn’t have any standout feature. Our biggest problems are with the G7’s mediocre low-light cameras, which can’t hold a candle to the competition, and its dull design.

LG G7 review: Does everything right except excite you

The G7's speedy processor, great camera and water resistance are as dependable as any premium phone. But there's nothing special to put it over the top.

The waterproof LG G7 ThinQ has an AI camera that gives your photos a boost before you snap them. The phone has a secondary wide-angle rear camera and a headphone jack.

The phone has a familiar design, its Google Assistant button isn't reprogrammable and battery life is unimpressive.

The LG G7 ThinQ is a really good phone, but one that fails to distinguish itself from more compelling offerings from Samsung, OnePlus and Google.

LG G7 ThinQ review: Big brains, bigger yawns

With a Snapdragon 845 processor, Boombox speaker, and an AI camera, the LG G7 ThinQ isn't a bad phone by any stretch. But it's not a particularly memorable phone either.

Good looking screen with a disappearing notch. ; Fantastic sound through the speaker or headphones.

Battery is just OK and performance suffers under the weight of its OS. ; Camera is a step backward, even with its AI-powered eye. ; Joins a lineup of too many similar phones from LG.

The G7 is a prime example of an in-between phone, but it’s dificult to say what LG is waiting for. It’s a clear improvement over the G6 and the V30, but the G7 isn’t strong enough to stand or excite on its own. And there are just too many LG phones to...

LG G7 ThinQ review: a big price for small improvements

LG's new G7 ThinQ has a truly awful name, but it's got a good design, terrific-sounding headphone jack, and a camera that opens many creative possibilities. Unfortunately, it's also way too expensive.

Good, very bright IPS LCD display ; Stellar headphone audio ; Super-wide camera offers creative flexibility ; Better touch haptics than other Android smartphones

Boom Box speaker is incredibly loud, but mono and easy to cover ; LG is putting no effort into software ; Mediocre battery life ; Too expensive on some carriers

LG G7 ThinQ

The G7 ThinQ hits the latest phone trends and includes signature LG features like a wide-angle camera and audiophile-quality sound for a solid alternative to flagships from Apple and Samsung.

Audiophile-friendly sound. Sharp, bright display. Solid low-light camera mode and AI image tweaking. Latest processor and modem.

AI camera processing can be slow. No real blockbuster new features.

The next few years are going to be big ones for smartphones. 5G will launch in 2019, enabling new applications and new form factors. We might see foldable phones, or AR- and VR-focused devices. But for now, we have phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9 and...

The LG G7 Review: A Rushed Attempt?

This year was a change in pace for LG. The company's "mainline" flagship device, the LG G7, was released a couple of months later later than in years prior, hitting the market in the early summer rather than the more traditional spring.

Lastly, the new “Boombox” speaker promised some big improvements in sound quality. Sure, if you’re the type to put your phone down and listen to music, then the G7 does compete quite well. Unfortunately a handheld device is, well, most often held in...

LG G7 Review

After our initial look at the LG G7 ThinQ (we’ll call it LG G7) we had time to look at several firmware updates and test it with the...

Powerful, compact and robust ; Good camera, with ultrawide secondary lens ; Extremely bright display

Camera performance slightly below the best and more expensive competitors

LG G7 ThinQ Review: sounds better than it looks

Although it is not exactly in dire straits like, say, HTC, LG has had a rough few quarters. For 2018, it supposedly went back to the drawing board and would be focusing on a few but key premium models. The latter resulted in at least four V series...

Impressive and loud Boombox Speaker ; Super Bright Display mode ; Good battery life

Mediocre low-light autofocus ; Non-configurable AI Key

LG G7 ThinQ Smartphone Review

Radiant. The LG G7 ThinQ is the successor to the G6, one of 2017's first smartphones with a 2:1 display, frequently referred to as an 18:9 aspect ratio. Notably, LG has followed one of 2018's smartphone trends in designing the G7 ThinQ with a notch....

slim design ; robust appearance ; quick Wi-Fi ; expandable storage ; dual-SIM ; good call quality ; bright display with HDR10 support ; strong performance ; wireless charging

no VoLTE or VoWiFI ; color accuracy should be better ; PWM ; only USB 2.0 speeds ; high power consumption in standby

The LG G7 ThinQ improves upon the LG G6 in many areas. The huge 6.1-inch display may be unfamiliar to LG G6 users; we just wish that LG had not made the G7 ThinQ so compact. The Snapdragon 845 SoC is a leap forward compared with the Snapdragon 835,...
