[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] deathbytalkshow:
I just started noticing a slight drain on mine and I only got it a few months ago, refurb, and at first I was only getting 1% drain overnight (8hr)

Since I have some time off I decided to experiment a bit. I saved every personal photos and info, reset everything as if it was new, left out the SIM, didn't set up Google, didn't set up WiFi, turned off anything related to locations, turned off background data to all but the essential apps but they're not set up with anything so they shouldn't even be pushing anything but they're probably still trying because that's what they do. Anyway, so even the AOD is turned off, finally I left it on the table for 4hrs not even turning on the screen, it drained 2% in 4 hours. I imagine in 8hrs that would be 4% drain. That's probably normal. When I first got it and overnight I had it set up with all the apps I use and overnight it barely drained anything and I was amazed. But that's the nature of batteries, they decay over time. Sucks that it looks like a pain in the ass to replace just the battery. After that if the prices drop on the LG G8 ThinQ I might aim for that in a year. The headphone jack is a must for me.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] RazrZXCV:
LG G7+ Plus high on battery

I turned off AOD , Weather widget refresh time frames. Tried switching launchers too . The battery drain seems to be still happening.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] dingo424:
with wi-fi off, almost no drain, and with wi-fi/cellular on, I'll give it a 3 star.

My beast a 3 days old, a normal user here, the battery life is quite awesome, i.e around 13-16 hours on a single charge. I know LG has superbly optimised the battery like out of a 3000 mAh battery. I'm sure the Galaxy S9's 3000 mAh would switch off before the mighty G7, because most of them aren't satisfied with the S9's battery life despite Samsung's Super AMOLED uses less battery than the G7's RGBW LCD excellent display :eek:.

The sexiest design by LG on any angle. There's an oomph factor on G7's appearance because mine is Platinum Grey. If mine was Raspberry pink or Moroccan Blue, it'll be mind blowing. I still love Platinum Grey under the bright sun.

Not bad, no camera bump, frame in metal and panels in glass, I think it's what you'd expect from a phone these days. But not a fan with the notch.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] AarSyl:
The device feels premium, and comfortable to use with one hand. However, I don't suggest that anyone use this device without a case and screen protector. I haven't been using my device for a full 24 hours, and already have cosmetic scratches on the front screen. I don't know how or when it happened, but I see that this Gorilla Glass 5 isn't quite prone to scratches.

My IQ Shield screen protector is coming in the mail today, and I am going to install it as soon as I can. I typically don't like tempered glass because I don't really like the feel of them.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] misal6666:
Really? I have been using it without any screen protector for 5 days now. No scratches at all on the front screen despite my kind of rough use. I do recommend a case though. The phone is really slippery and prone to finger prints.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] madcowintucson:
I havnt scratched the screen but i have a tiny nick on the aluminum right next to the camera thats now silver and yeah how the hell did that happen. I have a tech 21 case and everything. Be careful the aluminum
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] aerowild:
I feel for you friend. I have been using my old Note3 without any case or screen protector and never even a single scratch on screen. And damn it, I got 3 DEEP scratches on this device on the next day of purchase. I felt so upset. Please anyone who owns this device, use a screen protector ASAP.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ali Mirza:
Quality is top notch. Doesn't feel slippery without the case on, as coming from the LG G4. The Platinum Grey feels more beautiful under the sun.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] dingo424:
It's just as you'd expect from a flagship phone.

As I have long fingers, I have no problem reaching the notifications. The feel feels properly in weight, not heavy, not light. It feels you are holding a high quality glass metal bar. The awesome premium feel that's luxurious at the given price, should be a lot better than overpriced Lamborghini/Vertu luxury smartphones. I don't feel like leaving the phone out without the case, I want to keep it like brand new for years. Without the case , u'll be more careful automatically in your senses.

I can feel that the skin of the device occasionally causes slight (and I mean slight) frame rate drops, just like the occasional hiccups in Samsung phones.

I started using the phone yesterday, and I am seeing less of those skips today.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ganesh420:
Coming from vanilla Oreo on the Nexus 6P, I'm not very fond of the LG skin. It adds a LOT of extra baggage and only adds a few features that I'm likely to use. A lot of those features, I could get from using a launcher instead of having them shoe-horned into Android itself. The camera hardware is nice, but the software isn't the greatest...I'm hoping this will be improved. General yuckiness of the LG skin will likely push me to change it out for plain ole Android eventually...we'll see.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ali Mirza:
Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering", Disable HW Overlays" makes the 2018's best phone smoother/snappier. If root available try L Speed/fstrim apps/Entropy found on Play Store. Install a custom kernel and play with kernel adiutor app. Install AdBlock too.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Farleftcoast:
Any chance you can pull the APK for the Home Launcher? It has some new features I'd love on my V30
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] aerowild:
Though I am not at all satisfied with its Battery life, very high RAM consumption and pre installed bloatware, unlike Samsung phones (I owns Note 8 too at present), it has not at all lagged so far. Very snappy performance on LG UI. I have been using Nova launcher from day one on this device (and long before on others) and its absolutely awesome.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] WhiteHartMart:
First Android in a while I've used (except Pixel 2 XL) where I haven't felt the need to install Nova. Stock launcher absolutely fine for my needs. :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] BasicallyCP:
I feel like the stock launcher would really benefit form a list view as opposed to the only available "slide left/right" variant.

Also, my biggest gripe, is the fact that I have to force sorting the apps every time a new one is added. Otherwise it always ends up at the last position, no matter the properties. Adding, this enforced sorting only gives you one option (=alphabetically) while not touching any folders. So those items remain in the scrambled layout you've left them.

I'm missing an option to scramble the PIN entry layout and an auto-ok feature after having entered the correct PIN. Yeah, I'm a PIN guy. There's also a lack of Android's "Guest" feature when wanting to create a temporary second user account. You can only create other "real" accounts, with all their rights (although not admin), which isn't what the guest account would achieve.

Biggest plus for me are the "double tap" features the launcher offers and the way they have allowed the always-on-display to be used as a small settings app. Also the added soft buttons on the lower screen (you can reorder them and add extra features) are well done. I also feel like the extra "Smart Bulletin" page isn't bad although other vendors like HTC had more options and/or deeper integration to offer.

The "Gaming" features via LG's Extensions are the best though. That's useful stuff if you don't want to spend your whole battery on a old game being forced to run at 200fps (or something) and max resolution. Also, the quick menu via the "Floating Bar" offers a smart way to have your stuff available in any app without the need to switch back and forth.

Additionally, the currently hard-coded Google Assistant button is more useful than I initially though. I would still welcome a menu to be able to reassign it to the user's liking though.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Iain_S:
if you like the vanilla look of Oreo, then use Lawnmover, i find it great and makes the phone feel so much faster compared to the LG skin.

The LG UI is a half baked UI when compared to other skins like EMUI, MIUI or even samsung UI. There are lots of clutter in the settings app. SMS app is that of Google, No dual app.. Not to mention bugs..LG software needs lots of refinement to be even compared with other popular skins.

Best way IMHO is to go for stock android version in which LG can include v their camera app and ensure release regular security updates..which hardly require huge resources. Customers will be ever grateful to LG..
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Maverick Honor:
LG's implementation of the dual sim calling is bery primitive ..every time you want to call from either of the sim you have to remember to toggle the sim switcher..it deosnt have any options to set default calling options or prompt to ask which sim to use..its really frustrating for people who uses dual sims to make calls all tne time...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] xeizo:
I installed Nova immediately, as I'm used to it. The other parts, which Nova doesn't fill with it's own functionality, all works fine.

I have found all the functionality that's needed for me without any particular effort.

Everything is smooth. So far very happy with this purchase.

Solid hw and I can't really fault the software for anything, if Android Pie shows up in a timely manner all will be perfect.

The "boosted" brightness works well under the sun at Auto brightness. Awesome feature by LG.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Seba rubio:
hello there is some way to prevent the boosted mode of screen brightness from turning off after 3 minutes
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ghengis042:
I read in the documentation that it's bad for the screen to stay at max brightness for very long, so it dims to protect itself from lasting damage. You probably shouldn't try to circumvent that.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] sledgeharvy:
I understand a permanent max brightness is bad, but at least for 15-30 minutes, 3 minutes isn't long enough when I'm at work as I am working outside.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] Ghengis042:
It sounds like running over 70% brightness causes the screen to heat up. They must have decided that in 3 minutes it doesn't heat up enough to be damaged; presumably, in 10 minutes the heat could accumulate enough to hurt it. Of course, I'm sure they err on the side of caution, so maybe 5 minutes "almost never" hurts it, etc, but it sounds like if you want full brightness for an extended period of time you might have to use another device. (If heat really is the issue, it's probably worse in Texas...)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] theblitz707:
Boost can last way more than 3 minutes when set to auto.

So what i did was go to a store. Take an lg g7 to test, shine a smartphone flashlight to its sensor and also set it to automatic. I open a full white image from browser and use my phones sensor to measure the brightnessin lux. Just to make sure when i manually boosted it said 1050lux. We can think this as 1050 nits. My phones sensor may not be the most accurate one but we can be sure the brightness is around 1000nits.

Anyways i shone the light for 15-20 min and apart from not being able to align the flashlight and sensor briefly time to time, it always stayed at 1000 nits. After the test the screen wasnt hot, even it was barely warm. So in conclusion i can confidently say screen will stay max brightness at auto as long as you need as long as it doesnt heat up.

Btw my phones brightness is around 500-600 and when i put it near boosted lg it looked dark lmao.

Not OLED competitive

Black level and true blacks are mediocre, hard to compare it to the V30 which looks amazing on hdr content.

However in bright sunny situations nothing touches this display, the S9+ was close but the G7 is unbelievably clear in the sun.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] stuclark:
As above, side by side with the V30 it's not as good at blacks, but it is by far the best display of any in bright sunshine
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] aerowild:
Black levels below 50 % brightness seems fine but I would describe bad at high brightness (but majority of media content is seen at high brightness). Another majot flaw is viewing anglebof black is very steep. Slight tilt to anu direction turns screen blueish instead (very noticeable and annoying).

Awesome Color vibrancy and No Bending (also very annoying time to time on 8 bit OLED) makes me feel better though. So it comes down to the personal preference.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] hungryfortech:
You guys are comparing 2 different kinds of tech LCD vs OLED. OLED can achieve true black because when it displays black, the LEDs are off where for the LCD you have a backlight that's always on when the display is. This means its black will never be true black. It's like having a black cloth covering a bright light, the black cloth can't absorb all the white light

Not Low Enough Compared to the Competition

The minimum screen brightness is worse with the LG G7 ThinQ compared to the competition such as Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy series, iPhones, and the Oneplus.

I've noticed this issue when I bought 6 LG V30s from T-Mobile and all 6 of them had the noticeable uneven lighting on their POLED displays after lowering the brightness below a certain percentage.

After doing some research as well as calling LG several times, the rep admitted that the reason for the limited the screen brightness was due to a software restriction LG placed for the V30 to hide the uneven lighting even though the Android SDK allows it to be lowered more.

Now with the LG G7 ThinQ, even though this issue does not exist with this phone, LG have forgotten to disable the software limit they had originally put for the LG V30s minimum brightness.

In conclusion, due to a software restriction LG put for the V30 and later forgot to disable for the LG G7 ThinQ, the screen brightness does not get as low as the competition even when comparing LCD phones like the iPhones.

For people with light sensitivity, do not buy from LG.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Real Life Review] electronhacker:
Agreed minimum brightness on the G7 is pretty meh, along with the screen in general (I'm coming from a delicate samsung galaxy s8 which had a gorgeous OLED screen that I couldn't find a proper protector to wrap around the silly curves.) Tho the max brightness levels are great with the LG! To take advantage of that I threw this privacy guard/glass screen protector on my G7 and I'm not looking back - the amount of light it cuts parasitically makes bedtime reading much closer to where I like it, and I get lots of privacy for on the subway etc. Privacy guards are not for everyone, some people hate them.
