The colours look good on the LG G8s ThinQ not as vibrant or vivid as you expect from a phone like this. The OnePlus 7T, for example, with similar price has a better display. The problem is that the display isn't simply bright enough and even after putting the phone on maximum brightness, reading something on it under bright Delhi sun is a bit of a problem. The display, though, is perfect in low light conditions and indoor light. It is a welcoming change from the boring always-on-display that we see in a lot of smartphones these days.
While it is not the first LG phone to come with a triple rear camera setup, it is certainly the first to come with a Z camera. It powers the phone's face unlock system.
It also powers the phone's gesture navigation system and the palm-unlock system. The 8MP front camera snaps decent shots in well-lit surroundings.
But its portrait mode is disappointing as it often fails to blur the background in the portrait mode. The images this camera clicks look half-baked, although the colours in these images are spot on and have good contrast.

The rear camera system too is below average. 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. 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. 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.
I have had mine from the first day it was released and it is smooth and fast. Face ID is awesome and you also have the fingerprint sensor on back which is fast and hand id. The hands free gesture has l read more. Yes, I'd recommend this product. Was this review helpful?
Yes No I was weary of the G8 at first, but there was a promo that drove me to it. I came out of a S9 and the quality is on par. Battery life seems to be better, and I haven't noticed any differences while playing PubG lol. I would recommend. I got my G8 very soon after it was released. My wife has a Samsung S9.
I like mine better for a number of reasons. The camera is sharper and the settings are easily adjustable. I cannot say how often I've used the 2nd wide-angle camera lens feature. The fingerprint sensor on the back allows me to un read more. I love the phone, the camera is excellent, the sound is amazing for video. My only real grip is why no grip at all on the entire phone. I sat it down on a shelf and it slowly wiggled it's own way off to hit the floor.
The back is so smooth a fly landed on it and slipped. Would be more of an issue if read more. This phone is a nice upgrade from the Kyocera. Apps run quickly, music sounds good, best when played on blue tooth devices. Battery life could be better. Recommend having a case for the phone, without the back of the phone is slick. Finger print button takes a little getting used to would be bette read more.

I miss the removable battery and the remote function, but other than that it's pretty neat. I like the animoji thing, the camera make me feel fabulous, I really have no issues other than features that I miss. The unlocking read more. And good luck loading a web page.
