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

Don't Wait If You Didn't Like the G7

Don't Wait If You Didn't Like the G7

If all of the information in this post and our first five slides sounds exciting, we have some bad news. There's a very big chance it's all 100% wrong. Instead, LG will play it extremely safe with the LG G8 and basically offer a mid-range device similar to the LG G7 and V40 from 2018. 

A huge leak revealed a phone that's nothing different from what we saw last year. Two cameras on the back, a rear fingerprint scanner, a notch in the screen, and basically the same phone LG's released for 3+ years. 

We hope the leak and image above is wrong, but Onleaks has a solid history of being extremely accurate with information and leaks. So, it looks like the LG G8 might not be anything we thought it would be, and you'll probably want to skip it and wait for the LG V50. How frustrating.

    Great article, so thanks! My Wish for LG is that they keep the high-end audio/speakers and DAC, and then bump that storage amount up to 128GB or higher. That and a better battery. I have a G5 and it’s a lemon, since I love good audio I’m definitely sticking with LG.

      It’s definitely a lemon. It was also before it’s time in many ways. I keep buying new batteries. What’s nice is you can charge extras on a cradle, then pop them in if you need to. This has been a lifesaver at times, especially in long runs.

    Also a G5 owner, having owned the G3 prior. My hope is they continue leading or regain lost ground with camera superiority. I thought the original iPhone plus had LG camera hardware. Funny you could find multiple sources eluding to this till it was out for a while. My biggest complaint is the GPS has been buggy on all of my G series phones by LG. My G5’s GPS recently stopped working entirely. I did love using my phone to control my LG flatscreen. I’m holding out for the next release, knowing current releases include 600mhz (tmobile spec), and hoping there’s no notch. It’s like buying the cheap ticket to a game. View obstructed. Bad idea.
