It performs decently but never exceedingly well. In these photos the colours are right, there isn't any noticeable banding and colour noise is low. But in indoor light, the camera struggles.
LG G8S ThinQ Smartphone Review: Innovative or outdated?
While colours are yet again quite nice in these images, the photos lack details. The camera performance of this phone in low light is not good. Even using LG's version of "night sight" doesn't help as the photos clicked in low light lack details and look dull. The G8s ThinQ's night sight does help in evening and you can click some interesting shades in the evening, but at night, the camera isn't of much use. There are unique camera features in the G8s ThinQ. The triple shot mode helps you snap pictures using all the three rear cameras at once and let you pick which one you want to keep.
Then there is the Cine Shot Mode, which captures cinemagraphs - GIF like videos where the subject is in motion while everything else is stationary. One thing that I absolutely love about the LG smartphones is their user interface. You can customize every aspect of an LG phone using the extensive set of controls that the company offers. The G8s ThinQ takes advantage of the company's this extraordinary UI, giving users the freedom to experiment. This phone has some really cool features.
While one screen displays your latest conversations, the other gives a detailed account of all your recent activity on your phone, whether it is an email that you have opened or a web page that you have visited.
Real Depth Sensing Camera
You can customise the apps that you want to see in your second screen. You can also customise the look of the second screen to pick between a notched look and a bezeled design. Then there is the Eco Playback feature that dims the overall brightness of the phone as you listen to the music. There is also a Comfort View icon that adds a shade of warm to your phone's display for reading during the night time.
Apps are bunched together in folders, depending on their functionality. LG has extended the same cleanliness and orderliness to its Settings apps as well. All the elaborated controls are neatly tucked under their respective sub-sections, which is easy to access and use. This means you can wave your hands in front of the phone to skip a song on it or for answer or rejecting calls. This Z-camera also powers the phone's Hand ID based bio-authentication system. Hand ID, instead of scanning your face or your fingerprint, scans your hand to make a map of the blood vessels spread across the palm.
This pattern, just like fingerprint, is unique. But a less secure system is not the only issue with the entire gesture navigation and Hand ID setup. The entire system is still raw and is cumbersome to use. The Hand ID works only when hand is placed over the phone in a certain position. You have to literally train your mind to use it properly, and in most cases it takes an awful amount of time to get it right.
Same is true for gesture navigation. You need to use carefully crafted moves to use the gesture navigation and even then there is no guarantee that they will reliably work. The fingerprint sensor and the face unlock system, on the other hand, are reliable and work efficiently. The Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset is speedy. You can watch videos, surf through your social media accounts and play games on the phone without the phone giving so much as a nervous hiccup even once.
LG G8 ThinQ: 11 Key Settings To Change On Your New Phone
The phone's 3,mAh can reliably last throughout the day for regular use. I used it for checking my emails, listening to music during my hour-long daily commute, reading news articles and browsing through my social media feed and it lasted for an entire day without me having to worry about the battery running out towards the end of the day. But you do have to recharge every night for the next day's use. The good bit is that it takes just an hour and a half to charge the phone completely. But there are better options at this price in the Indian market. A lot has changed since February when this phone was launched.
The G8s ThinQ does have a few things going for it. It looks trendy, albeit too shiny. User interface is nice, performance good and battery reliably. But then there is other side to it. The camera could have been better. The display is dull in strong sunlight. The gesture navigation needs a lot of work. And the price is too high. LG G Pro 2. LG G Flex.
