8 Reasons to Wait for the LG G8 & 6 Reasons Not to
Wait For a Bigger and Better Display | |||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||
In 2018 LG released the G7 ThinQ with a 6.1-inch screen, bigger than the V-series from all previous years. Then, the LG V40 arrived with a massive 6.4-inch screen to take on the iPhone X and the Galaxy Note 9. See a trend? Screens are getting bigger! With the LG G8, the company will likely continue this trend by offering a screen around 6.2 or 6.3-inches in size. This will be a perfect middle ground between the Galaxy S10 sizes, and it'll probably be more affordable too. Look for LG to follow the same trend as everyone else lately, and deliver a truly edge-to-edge screen with zero or nearly no bezels. Or, they'll offer SUPER tiny bezels but deliver a 4K AMOLED screen that blows away all those notched and hole-punch screens from other phones. Everything is just a rumor so far. All we really know is the screen will somehow be bigger, have smaller bezels, and look great. Expect a much smaller notch, or a teardrop notch, if it has one at all. | |||||||||||||||

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.
