LG G8 ThinQ (Unlocked, Brand New)

Product Description

LG might not be the name that comes to mind when you think about flagship smartphones. But LG G8 ThinQ is there to prove you wrong.

The device has all the bells and whistles you may expect from a flagship model and the performance to match.

This article will explore all the characteristics that make the G8 ThinQ a good choice.

LG G8 ThinQ Key Features

Responsive, fast, and lag-free, this smartphone provides an exceptional user experience. Here are the features that make it all happen.

Display

You get a 6.1-inch screen with almost no bezels – bar the notch for front-facing sensors – and the camera.

It’s an OLED display delivering 3120 x 1440 resolution with 564-pixel density. The aspect ratio is 19.5:9, and the peak brightness is around 315 nits.

So, you get an excellent experience streaming HD videos, and you won’t struggle to use the phone when it’s sunny. Better yet, the device has great color accuracy.

LG G8 ThinQ Durability

The G8 ThinQ isn’t a rugged phone, ready for harsh work environments. But it doesn’t mean it’s brittle either, even though it features a glass body.

The back is fashioned from Gorilla Glass 6, and you get Gorilla Glass 5. That combo offers good scratch resistance, and light dings and drops don’t make much of an impact.

Additionally, the phone has an IP68 rating for liquids. You can’t submerge it several feet and hope it’ll survive. But if you spill something over the phone or accidentally drop it into a puddle, there shouldn’t be any damage.

Network and Call Quality

This smartphone supports LTE in 26 different bands, including band 71, which keeps the reception decent even when you venture into rural areas. But note that the network performance also depends on your carrier.

The call quality is clear, with no clipped voice and no static. Interestingly, the phone doesn’t feature an earpiece. Instead, you get proprietary Crystal Sound OLED which turns the smartphone display into a speaker diaphragm.

If you aren’t on the speakerphone, there’s no reason to worry about privacy – the sound comes only from the top.

Internals

Featuring Snapdragon 855 CPU, the G8 ThinQ can support some serious apps and games. Combine that with 6GB of RAM, and you truly get a pocket rocket of a smartphone.

The internal memory is 128GB and can be extended to 2TB. Unfortunately, microSD cards’ capacity caps at 1TB right now, but it’s still more than enough to store all your photos, videos, and apps.

And if you’re into multitasking, you can open more than 12 apps simultaneously with no lag. As mentioned, more demanding games like Asphalt 9 run lag-free even if you play for more than an hour. Plus, there are no dropped frames.

What Do You ThinQ?

Aside from what’s already mentioned, the G8 ThinQ is relatively compact and lightweight for a flagship smartphone. It’s 5.98 x 2.83 x 0.33 inches and 5.89 ounces, which is roughly the same as its predecessor, the G7.

Plus, it has great battery life. You can stream videos at full brightness for more than eight hours before it runs dry.
