What do you prefer about it?
My Mate 20 went back for hulk screen issues but I do have the Note 9 too, I am though starting to think that the G7 is my phone of the year 2018.
Yes it has it’s faults and yes LG’s software is not the best, also on paper the Note 9 and Mate 20 pro are more impressive in many areas but the overall package of the G7 just feels great.
In terms of things that I like
- The size hits a sweet spot for me. Good screen size but comfortable for one-handed use.
- It feels nice in the hand. This is a subjective one of course but having recently tried a Oneplus 6 imo the G7 feels far nicer (and more premium) in the hand.
- I like the screen, it's good, it's bright and I like that it's flat not curved. LCD also has it's advantages over OLED, it is for one easier on the eyes in terms of eye strain and no concern over burn in. I also like that LG have managed to include an AOD on an LCD.
- It also ticks a lot of boxes, wireless charging, expandable storage, IP rating, always on display, headphone jack, decent audio
Mostly though in the UK it costs a little over £400 which is less than a OnePlus 6 or 6t. An absolute bargain at the moment.
