I LOVE this damn phone!!

1. Camera I rate as a 3 of 5 with built in app. 5 of 5 with Google Camera.

2. Audio I rate as 10 of 5. HOLY CRAP is it good.

3. Flat glass 5 of 5, easy to find full screen protectors with full adhesive. YES!

4. Killer battery life, 5 of 5. Most days I end up over %50 after heavy usage. Standby time is maybe 4-5 days if I do almost nothing.

5. LG software, 3 of 5. Too much bloatware but not as bad as some phones. Overall not a big deal.

6. Speed, 4 of 5. I think maybe other phones might be quicker but it is just fine for my purposes.

7. Buttons and controls, 5 of 5. Dedicated Google Assistant button rules. Actual Power button, finger print reader can turn screen on.

8. Slow motion video mode is quite nice. I enjoy using it for little fun stuff like capturing throwing a bowling ball.

9. Screen is very nice, I rate as 4 of 5. I prefer OLED but under heavy usage I think LCD comes out as a winner for power usage. I do have a bit of issue seeing the screen in full sunlight with sunglasses on. OLED do better in this circumstance.

The biggest problem with this phone is the camera, and it is far better with the Google Camera apk. Obviously LG could fix it if they wanted to.

Ordered another G7 today...

I have a Note 9 but just ordered another G7. Despite the software not being great there is just something about this phone that I have really missed, feels great in the hand and is in a real sweet-spot size wise too. There really is not much bloat (compared to a Samsung) and battery life is very decent.

I was convinced this year that the Pixel 3XL would be my droid of choice but boy was I disappointed with that, as someone who rarely uses a case the rear would look like a used chalkboard within 2 or 3 days!

I think the Note is probably the best droid package currently available but there is something about the Samsung software and the amount of bloat that irks me, the G7 is IMO the nicest option at the moment and in the UK at least is an absolute bargain.

I'm coming from a S9 and Note 8.... This damn phone is marvelous. I hate that it's not receiving the love it deserves. LG took me away from my Galaxies with this one and I'm very satisfied.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Lemme-flash:
I'd like to believe that this will come by itself with time. As of now, LG is updating the phone (slowly) so the need isn't that big and fewer people will use custom ROMs. And the community do have the tools and sources to make proper ROMs, don't they? Or is there something needed that LG hasn't released and the community hasn't gotten ahold of?

There are a couple of guides for flashing custom AOSP ROMs in the dev forum. Only for the European model (710EM) but it's something, right?

Acceptable for average users

Faster than my V30, but not a S9+. I'm thinking the V40 will be my solution. I just hope they allow you to switch between the Narrow and Wide Angle when recording in manual. I almost jumped on the V35 but having played with the camera software its no the same as the V30, it's in fact the same as the G7. So I'm holding onto my V30 longer.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] tp.kahara:
Coming from OnePlus 5T to G7 ThinQ I have to say it's shockingly slow for a 2018 flagship.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] xeizo:
OnePlus has heavily stripped software, which is faster because it does less and also leaves a lot more free ram. In application benchmarks G7 really is one of the fastest SD845 devices in 2018, but the OS itself is heavy which of course affects the perceived speed. G7 would be blistering fast with AOSP, too bad there is no such love for it.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] LameMonster82:
The OS is not holding it back. It's the poor implementation of LG. I tried running geekbench on AOSP and I get the same results
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] xeizo:
Geekbench just tests the hardware, should be the same results regardless of OS. Check more application dependent benchmarks like on Anandtech, G7 is almost always at the top for SD845 devices.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] tp.kahara:
OP has more memory which is the bigger factor in the speed, LG's skin is pretty lightweight as well (altho switching the launcher to Nova sped things up but it is still very slow compared to OP 5t). The processor is great on LG but you kinda need RAM too. It's a shame the modding community never really took interest in this device.

Hey all,

I haven't been following the "Solution to the GPS" thread, but I did pop in a few weeks ago to see reference that made me believe that people have figured out how to enable north american 3G. Is this true?

Thanks,

My assumption is that choosing the right radio and setting nv item 148 to 17 (0x11) will give you additional radio bands. Search for walram's post in the gps thread where he listed the radios which allow setting item 148.

I would just pop inn here to say that I can select, Euro Band, US Band and Japan Band in my settings. If this works I have no idea (I live in europe).. Or maby everyone has these settings options?

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] AarSyl:
The RAM management is pretty aggressive. For some odd reason, I have less than 700MB free off of a fresh reboot. While someone may say that free ram is wasted ram, but I barely have ANY RAM, even with no apps running.

This does affect multitasking, because my apps and games close as soon as I leave to reply to a text or WhatsApp message. Not happy about that.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
i have also noticed high RAM usage. i have seen this before with samsung devices. the system seems to use more RAM when there is more available. i haven't really noticed any slowdowns because of it, though. system seems to handle it just fine.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] AarSyl:
Not slowdowns, but app restarts when they rely shouldn't happen. I'm talking receive a text, leave my game by opening the app from the notification shade, and returning to the game to see it restart.

Not cool.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] zuli007:
Same on my G7. It shut down chrome a couple times per day. On Note 8 it works with Samsung Internet for a days without reload.

The LG UX 7.0 running with SD 845 is a pleasure to use. Snappy and smooth all the time that I don't see any stutters or slowdowns. A real beast of 2018.

Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering" & "Disable HW Overlays" makes the beast smoother, snappier. If there's a custom kernel, we can play with the CPU Governors, the performance smoothness can be taken the next level.

LG, if you are quick to release unlock bootloader after the launch of the LM-G710ULM (US Unlocked) atleast the devs can start working on the LG G7. 12th July to present. i.e 2 months why no bootloader unlock?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Kidsnd274:
Never had issues with choppy scrolling but suddenly my phone has started exhibiting this issue. Happens on the home screen, the app drawer, the Google App and YouTube. Settings page is pretty choppy as well when scrolling. No idea what's causing this but hopefully the new Pie Update (which is taking forever to be released) fixes this.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] AarSyl:
My phone actually heating up significantly during the initial setup...which is something that I have never experienced before. However, my former phone mysteriously began doing that lately, and dropping data connections. I have since swapped to a new SIM card, as I feel that it might have been the main cause of the problem.

Updates to come later.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Malaka135:
First day of ownership I was a little scared of the heating. I always keep screen on 100% brightness. It got decently hot from excessive use(specifically when I was playing PUBG to check out graphics/performance). Since then, nothing. It gets warm during heavy use but it hasn't hit any uncomfortable levels. Maybe that was just a one day thing. I have since put a case on the phone which helps dissipate the heat. I know alot of users complained about the heat with this phone, my assumption is since it is so thin, there isn't any room for air to circulate inside the phone to cool it off, the battery is probably touching straight onto the board and screen. I remember replacing a battery on a moto x pure and the shape of the battery(Looked like this \_/ but more of a 10 degree angle) created a gap which allowed it to cool. The new battery which was flat now touches the board and it causes the phone to heat up more. So I would blame the thinness of the LG G7 for it's heating. I would rate it 4/5 because even though it doesn't get burning hot, it does warm up more than my previous phones(except the htc 10)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ali Mirza:
The heat management of the internals as well as CPU is superb. On a fine day of temps 30*C, the minimum temps are 27*C and max 36*C on a normal usage. I hope in 3 years time, the battery shouldn't degrade fast like it's predecessors. I hope the battery capacity should stay 3000 mAh in very long term usage. The old phones would feels hot, therefore the battery capacity had reduced.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] tp.kahara:
I don't really play games on phones (I have a PC and PS4 for that) but it does heat up when quick charging wirelessly. Nothing alarming but noticeable.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] dingo424:

some pictures taken by the stock camera, except the first and second taken by the google camera.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] techhahn:
5/10 for low light performance.

LG G7 has 1 micron sensors both wide and main. The sensor is not suitable for low light as it introduces lot of noise. But LG have a trick up it's sleeve "Super bright camera" which combines 4 megapixels into one giving 4 megapixel image. This produces bright but very soft image with details lacking. This approach is inferior to the likes of Google/Huawei night mode as they keep shutter open for longer time.

But it has some pros when shooting a scene with moving objects.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] dingo424:
It struggles in low light. Very low quality pictures are coming out.

I find the auto focus to be very bad on the G7. Manually focus via focus peaking solves the issue for me.

I'm coming from the S9+ and I'm not a fan. Low light is hitchhike like horrible in comparison. This photo isn't bad bad but it's not even close to the S9+ quality

This kind of picture I take a lot. I'm a lush.... So I need my camera to do well in this light.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
Agreed! I had the opportunity to take pictures and videos and this camera is quasi trash. Does everything ok. Does nothing really well. The AI struggles. I hope an upgrade makes the camera better. I came from an s9 plus too and this camera doesn't compare.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] nitroevo:
Have you tried the manual mode?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] cpufrost:
I've tried manual mode and it is capable but it's still not in the same league as the S9+.

The wide angle mode is nice but it's not high quality even in full daylight.

And why no 4K60 mode?

With a 16MP sensor I figured this device would produce best images yet particularly in manual mode.

There's a lot of lag/delay when using the camera as well.

I long for the day when we have a 16MP F 1.2 camera! It will be here...eventually!

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] scoubi23:
sorry
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Botwatito:
Well, I contribute to the topic of the forum.

(by curiosities of fate, at the end of this article I just got the first update of the phone, which touches certain aspects of the phone, so you have to repeat tests, but for those who take it out of the box is a good reference).

Let's be clear, the photographic quality of the LG G7's automatic mode is bad, especially when approaching 100% of the size of the photo, the final finish is like a watercolor filter, little detail, and somewhat dark colors.

Let's illustrate with the following image:

(the images have been cut to 35% of the original size, I hope you can appreciate the differences. I am not a professional of the field, nor a photographer but here we go!)

This is the default image of the LG g7 in automatic mode, JPG format, the colors seem unnatural to me.

How can this be resolved? taking pictures in manual mode and in RAW format, the difference is very noticeable.

The image gains a lot in detail, but loses in color representation, does anyone know why the images are faded in RAW?, with some patience and retouched in photoshop the values ​​of saturation and vibrance have something very similar to what I was seeing at that moment, although I understand that this is very subjective, ideally the phone would place these colors from the beginning that we selected the RAW format.

Finally, mention the differences in detail between the automatic format and the RAW format, the image on the left is in automatic JPG mode and the one on the right is in RAW, that gain in detail has a cost, the photo has a brutal weight in Size, around 30-45mb per photo.

I hope the comparison works for something and for someone, please excuse my bad English and greetings from Mexico.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Erpinoob:
I think you're completely right.

These are some pics I took so far, most of them with stock camera (only the last two should have been taken with GCam). Most of them shot in auto mode and there are no post production works. I'm not a photographer at all and I don't pretend to be one, but I'm pretty satisfied with G7's cameras.

Bad resolution is due to upload, I can upload pics somewhere else if needed.View attachment 4557830View attachment 4557831View attachment 4557832View attachment 4557833View attachment 4557834View attachment 4557835View attachment 4557836View attachment 4557837View attachment 4557838View attachment 4557839View attachment 4557840View attachment 4557841

don't buy this phone for the camera. it has plenty of outstanding features, but the camera isn't one of them. it's "good enough", but not up to par with other flagships.

s7, s8, s9, iphone X, mate 10 all take better pics. it does better with low light than previous LGs, but very unremarkable. the GCam port is helping a lot. once it's really up and going we will see what this hardware can do. LG just can't seem to get the software side right.

i'm not bashing it, as i knew this before i bought the phone and the camera isn't very important to me.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Don1003:
My g6 get is a bit 'grainy' but detail and dynamic range for a 13mp is at times better than the g7 that are verry low at detail in some shots and some get to punchy that loose natural scene color. Open and switch between camera's is way faster on g6 than the g7 to. And allot of extra features 'pop out-gallery scroll left side-tracking focus etc are missing. Hope they improve fast with a update.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Malaka135:
Double click the power button could be faster, I don't own a Samsung but I know my friend's S7 is better to grab that quick snap than my LG G7 from the lockscreen/screen off. Launching the app and switching between front, back, and wide is not bad. It isn't instant but quick enough where it isn't awkward. The low light auto switching causes mini freezes which is why I turned it off.
