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

Don't Wait If You're On a Budget

Depending on where to look the LG V40 is over $900. And while yes, the LG G8 is more affordable than the high-end LG V40, we're expecting most of those high-end features to carry over into 2019. 

If you can't afford to spend $700-$900 or you're pushing your budget already, don't wait for the LG G8. We say that because if it follows the trend we've seen the last few years, it'll be an expensive phone. LG does tend to undercut Samsung when it comes to pricing, so that's a plus, but don't bank on that happening with all of this new technology.

If LG adds a bigger screen, or a 4K display, no bezels, and throws a fingerprint scanner inside the screen along with 4-5 cameras, that'll be an expensive phone.

Phones continue to get more and more expensive. That said, in 2018 both Samsung and Apple offered extremely expensive phones that not very many people purchased. So, maybe manufacturers are realizing they need to keep phones around $800 or less.
