krika, 06 Jan 2020Why dont LG just make an updated V30, with same size and weight, better camera and updated chi... moreLG is definitely not reading GSMArena as they know what they're doing on their own. V30's design is now dated. It should be Allscreen (side and top bezels match with the thinnest bottom bezel), notch with advanced selfie camera, 18:9 to 21:9, Multi Bayer >40MP camera, etc.
What they should be doing is to develop a way to miniaturize Sabre DAC while being way better than Quad DAC and yeah, use pull tabs on a battery.

Why dont LG just make an updated V30, with same size and weight, better camera and updated chipset. That would be a huge seller at the right price, and it would compete against Galaxy S10, Note10, Iphone 11 and so on. LG are you reading this? Come on!

LG Superfan, 06 Jan 2020Winners: Dual screen case
Losers: Everything else In the States.
The G8x is great, but here in Europe it's really expensive unforrtunately.

LG's situation is similar to Sony. They both make good phones, but their phones don't sell due to poor marketing & overpricing (as per their current brand value).
They get that right, and they'll start making good sales again.

I just entered the page to see which phone could you name as a winner and I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty amazed that you could even name a "winner" among LG phones, this year... :))

AnonD-908380, 06 Jan 2020The G8 ThinQ's battery is also sealed with permanent adhesive, don't forget that.But so is Samsung S10 & Note 10+ among many others. Either criticize everyone who does it, or don't criticize anyone at all. Don't be biased!

Sadly EU never got the W series so the choice is rather small here.
Too many people are unfair about LG it's notch, even while LG used it for gimmicks the technology inside is great, nobody complains about Pixel 4 it's notch (or lack of fingerprint scanner)
LG makes great phone for good prices, but the amount of time it takes to get updates is silly, even Motorola does is better.

I reckon that LG made the G8 series because not all countries have proper 5G network, and the V Series would now be a 5G phone. It used to be very simple before LG making a 5G phone: V Series for real flagship-grade device, G Series for LG's ultrawide camera tradition.
Mind you, I cannot see the point of the G8S since the G8 is basically a non-5G version of the V50 while the G8X continues the wide/ultrawide dual camera tradition since the G5. I can only see the G8S as a cheaper 1080p version of the G8 with different camera modules.

The only thing I disagree with this article is about LG G8s notch. It got wider, because had regular speaker, so it had better stereo setup. It selfie camera was combined with a TOF, and it had a 3D facial recognition, hand ID and air gestures.

LG's lineup is so terrible that while V50 is technically their best phone, the "least-worst" description would be more apt for that phone.

Davy Jones, 06 Jan 2020Correction it's Q9 not G9 G9 will be launched this yearHopefully not

Regarding model G8s. Notch is wider but information about less functionality is not true. It has Hand ID, air gestures & also front ToF camera for 3D face unlock which works great.
