Wait For Stunning Sound (On Display)

One of the more interesting decisions by LG is to ditch traditional speakers for something new. Well, they're keeping the boombox speaker, then added to it making it even better.

The LG G7 had a boombox speaker that got extremely loud and was the best in the industry. With the LG G8 you'll still have the boombox speaker, but then in addition to that, the entire display is a speaker too.

The big 6.3-inch screen will feature LG's custom, new, in-house "Crystal Sound OLED" or CSO technology. Click here to learn more. 

This isn't bone-conduction speakers, which are terrible. Instead, this is a new technology. 

The LG G8's entire screen will vibrate to produce sound with impressive volume. And because LG’s unique technology takes advantage of the entire display, CSO also improves clarity, making voices easier to discern and subtle musical notes more noticeable. Plus, you still get loud "bass" from the bottom subwoofer speaker. This delivers booming sound, 2-way stereo sound, along with the usual Quad-DAC processor. 

Basically, the LG G8 will have the best speakers and sound of any smartphone on the market. Probably.

    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.
