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

Wait for More Information

As we said earlier, at the tail end of 2018 LG removed the boss and head of its LG Mobile smartphone division. They replaced him with someone that is recognized for completely turning around LG's HDTV company, plans, and strategy to give Samsung and others a serious run for its money. LG makes some of the best screens and Smart TV's on the market. 

So, wait for more information, especially as this new guy in charge starts putting his mark on things and changing up LG's plans. He could revive the LG Mobile division.

We know the LG G8 will have the latest Snapdragon processor with the best performance on the market, 6-8GB of RAM, more storage, more cameras, a bigger screen and everything else people love. We know all of that. What we don't know is all of the specifics.

Will LG be able to offer a bezel-free screen, in-display fingerprint scanner, and keep the dual-front cameras from the V40? If the fingerprint scanner is in the screen will they have room for the boombox speaker from the LG G7?

If not, what will they do differently? There are so many unanswered questions that the smart thing is to simply wait for a little more information. Plus, we could even see LG offer two different G8 phones to better compete with the dual-phone approach we're seeing from Samsung, Apple, and Google. Like an LG G8 Lite and a regular G8.

    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.
