The screen speaker is really good for calls. There's no privacy on calls however but it works so much better than a traditional speaker. You can put your ear anywhere on the device and hear a call unlike the V40 that had that stupid offset speaker that I never got used to. A true front facing...

I haven't had a chance to record really loud audio like concerts but I know the receiver as mic is still present in the G8. The audio capture curing video recording is something I'm actually disappointed in. The V30/40 worked flawlessly in every environment you shot video in but the G8 sounds...

I had the V30 and V40. I was actually using the V30 when I bought the G8. Battery life on the G8 is better. I don't see any difference in video capabilities. I'm still trying to figure out what the difference between the G8 and the V series is myself. I'm kinda loving the G8 right now. The...

What version are you ruining? I'm using Arnovas 1.5 and it's working better than every other one I've tried with the exception of the night mode viewfinder. When it's Darrell the viewfinder freezes on the first position it sees. Strangely, that doesn't happen in good light

I'm really digging the silver. Unfortunately I have it behind a paper thin case with some grip because the phone is slick. As far as LG cameras go it's the best so far. The V40's stock app really crapped the bed compared to Gcam port but the G8 seems to have closed that gap a little. I...

The red version is gorgeous. I wish AT&T carried it. I ended up with the silver and it's a beautiful phone.

I apologize for the jumbled mess, I'm multitasking at work: 1) The LG skin really isn't that bad. IMO the V30 and V40 added some nice features and customizations without bogging down the experience. I dislike the settings menus but they're easy to get used to and the search feature makes...

Now that I've figured out when to use the atock camera and when to use the Gcam port I'm loving this camera

Get one off Swappa. I paid $525 for a T-mobile version that was still factory sealed.

I just got the Ornarto slim. There are a bunch sold under different brands that look exactly the same. The flaked/frosted versions have more grip than the smooth variants. I liked the Bear Motion case on my V30 better as it had a rubbery material on the case which that added more grip. My...

Snapseed isn't going to bring back the details LG's noise reduction destroys unless I shoot it in Raw, which really defeats the point of point and shoot on a phone.

I didn't notice a huge difference in the HDR processing handling blown out highlights etc but there is a massive difference in detail. Below is a 100% crop of a photo I took of my son tonight. LG's native APP. Auto mode, HDR on auto. It's been my experience with the V30 that turning HDR off...

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Some reviews say yes and others make the V40 look 5 years behind. The same thing is going on with Huawei....some reviews look like garbage and others look amazing. It's impossible to know who to trust.

I'm interested to see how the V40 handles movement. The V30 fell flat on its face with focusing, especially when your subject moved. That and post processing. The stock V30 camera added some very strange artifacts and sharpening that really ruined photos. Gcam brought the detail back but...

I wouldn't trust the reviews. This generation of phones has made it very obvious that these reviewers are nothing but amateurs bloggers. Marques Brownlee for instance.....he praised the Pixel's portrait mode and pointed to specific pictures in his review but the photos he used as evidence were...
