Mine was clean and smooth for the first 2 days, then finally developed noticeable lag that required a restart. I wish I could cange my vote.

I wonder if this is Pie, more than LG. When my s8 'upgraded', I had to restart every day to steady the frame rate, despite my tweaking of every power saving setting and animation related dev tool.

I totally aggree, if they can't bother to make it work right, they really ought to let the community do it. While my inexperienced eye was granting power saving exclusions to every app, I noticed a system app called "SuperBatterySaving". Is this new to android? Perhaps the issue?

Oh, and I found no "Skia" opengl setting.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
I switched on power exclusions for every app, switched off Adaptive battery, forced gpu rendering. Nothing helps. After 1 or 2 days, the frames drop in most animation, even simple games.

After this happened with my s8 as well, I'm pointing my finger at Pie. My wild guess is that it averages your use and throttles the cpu to that average. I use Bose sleepbuds, which require an app to run all night, but only sipping power. I dunno, I've thought about it every morning since Pie entered.

What do you all think?

[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
I can't believe how often I have to restart this phone to smooth the frame rate. Sometimes twice per day. It's so aggravating to have an expensive flagship act like a budget pos. I will note that it seems to happen more on days that I use hdmi out.

People with other phones have complained about similar issues with the arrival of Pie. How can we complain to Google, or at least see if a fix is in the works?
[LG G8 Real Life Review] wilpang:
I've got the unlocked US T-Mobile red version and there is definitely lag/stutter on the UI but it's something I can live with. It seems to have a cold a start then catch up then sends fine afterwards.

My 6T maybe fast but it's definitely not as smooth as other phones out there.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
Update: My issue seems to be related to using hdmi out. I haven't used it in a couple weeks, and have had no more stuttering problems at all. Nice and smooth. Now I'm glad I voted high here. It's been a real pleasure.

So, if you're going to use hdmi out, restarting should be part of the routine.

Is anybody else having a similar experience?
[LG G8 Real Life Review] dollarpapa:
I voted a 4. I have seen smoother phones with lesser hardware. I'm rating the plain jane LG G8 with their software, not some launcher, and it has some jittery feel to it.

Got the t-mobile version about a week now & I've been noticing it runs warm even when just sitting on the table no charging involved. I've disabled most settings I don't use.

Anyone else running warm??
[LG G8 Real Life Review] wilpang:
According to gsmarena

'We should also note that even after extensive benchmark testing, the phone didn't get hot at all. Only the side frame, which is made of metal, tends to get warm but that's normal given the horsepower under the hood. We found the phone to be one of "coolest" ones around with a high-performance SoC.'

Concerned if that isn't true as I'm looking at this phone when the price drops.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] Psyclopps:
Gets hot with GPS and games. Not sure if this is T-Mobile model specific.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] wilpang:
I've also got the US T-Mobile version and it seems to get hot/warm using Bluetooth and playing music for roughly 45 mins not if a particular setting causes it or the case I'm using.

Due to this the phone gets a little laggy but cools down once Bluetooth is off.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] Ace42:
Very cool surface temps, no different than the N10+ nor 7 Pro in this regard. CPU looks fine. ATT model.

Amazon low light. Comparable to the S10 in my opinion. Utilize RAW for best results if you are familiar with processing photos.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
Are you using the manual mode, or night view mode? I only see raw options in manual.

Either way, I totally agree. Night shots can look very nice with just a bit of attention.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] jericho246:
From the few low light pics I've taken with my G8s (yes, technically not a G8, but if you are impressed with the samples I posted below then I guess you would be even more impressed with the actual G8 because it has a superior camera), I can say I was pleasantly surprised. One thing to note though, the results are waayyyyyyyy better with the Google Camera port. Like some YouTube reviewer said (can't remember who it was), LG's Night View isn't aggressive enough. It still makes a difference, just not a huge one. So yes for Low light pictures I recommend using the GCam port.

thanks but don't work for my LG G8s ThinQ. Sometimes crash, sometimes is totaly black...

Can i ask you what are your settings?

Sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] jericho246:
Hmm, it's strange that it crashes. Try uninstalling it and install this one instead. Don't forget to allow all the required permissions https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk

It should work without changing any of the settings.

However I recommend using these settings : https://mega.nz/#!xHRllIAI!7iKlwhrkHx_T0oxIVcj4HbuH7Z8xRsJ27XBuh9EsJPo these are the ones I use personally. To import them, create a folder named "GCam" on your device. In GCam folder create another one and name it "Configs". Copy the lgg8s.xml file to Configs. Then, open Google Camera application and quickly tap twice on the black area next to the shutter button. Now you can import the lgg8s.xml file.

Let me know if it worked. :)

[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
Overall, I love the camera, but it has a few issues to iron out. Thankfully, LG decided to keep the ability to zoom with the shutter button. The precision of it's motion combined with the subtle haptics make it feel almost mechanical. There are thoughtful little details like that throughout. It feels really special to use.

The toolset is robust, with lots of options. There's a bit of learning to get the most out of it, but well worth the effort. I especially love the "Graphy" learning tool in the manual camera, it intuitively teaches what the settings do and how to use them.

Overall, it's awesome, but I just got seriously annoyed discovering that the flash won't work after the battery drops below 15%. For such a serious creative tool, this feels like an arbitrary oversight. After I spend all day searching for good shots, I don't want to be denied a few more when there is plenty of power. I can run the flashlight as long as I like, but it refuses to blink for a second when I really need it. It's silliness like that that make people say this phone is 'just ok'. The inability to mute the shutter sound doesn't help either.

Using the ATT variant on T-Mobile, which means no B71. Reception is pretty rough for phones without that band here (fringe area of coverage map). Even so the phone is clearly fighting the good fight. Can't wait to get a Tmo model.

[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
I haven't spent too much time with newer phones, but this screen is, in all ways, better than my S8, especially with color accuracy. This is compared to an editing monitor using tested and certified color settings.

Saturation on this phone feels more natural overall. It's not trying to always wow you with overblown vibrancy, unless you actually choose to set it that way, which is possible in settings.

This screen leans a tiny bit towards the greens at times, but it really depends on the image. Whites are solid, unlike my S8.

Color shift is excellent compared to the S8, I'm sure most newer amoled's can say that.

Overall a great screen, let's hope it can resist burn-in!
