8 Reasons to Wait for the LG G8 & 6 Reasons Not to

Don't Wait If You Can't Wait Until April/May

Also, don't wait for the LG G8 if you can't wait at least 4-5 months. 

The LG G7 was unveiled back in May of 2018, but didn't get released for over a month until sometime in June. This is a bad decision LG continues to make. They announce phones, then take FOREVER to actually release it to the public. 

By the time they do, a new Galaxy S phone, Moto devices, or something like the OnePlus 7 will arrive with a lower price. 

And while we're already hearing reports of an LG G8 release in late March, don't get your hopes up. We think the company will announce the phone at Mobile World Congress at the end of February, or the first week of March, but that doesn't mean it'll be released and available in the US anytime soon. Plus, for what it's worth, the Galaxy S10 will be announced on February 20th. So, LG might want to hurry.

If the March release rumor is true for the G8, it'll be in South Korea only, and we'll probably have to wait over a month before US carriers have it.

So if you can't wait until around April, or even May, go ahead and get something else now. Or, get the Galaxy S10 when it arrives on March 8-9th.

We do think the new head of LG will speed things up, but just keep this in mind while you're waiting. You never know how long the wait will be with LG.
