The LG G8 ThinQ is a competent Android smartphone that has the latest specs, including a Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM. It also has a few new tricks up its sleeve with its Z Camera sensor, which lets you perform some tasks with your hand. But this phone’s improvements and added features are too few and too inconsequential to recommend.

The LG G8 has a great screen and processor, but its gimmicks are just too much to bear.

The G8 ThinQ has plenty going for it, but unfortunately not in the areas that count for most consumers. The display and audio support are both among the best in the industry, but bland design and a so-so camera let it all down.
LG seems to hope that gimmicks like Hand ID and gesture controls will set the G8 apart from its rivals, but if they do, it won’t be in the way the company wants. Neither will change the way you use your phone, and before long you’re likely to forget they’re even there.

El LG G8 ThinQ tiene mucho que ofrecer, pero por mala suerte no en las áreas que más le interesan al consumidor medio. La pantalla y la calidad de audio es de las mejores de la industria, pero su cámara y diseño no están a la altura.
Parece que la compañía espera que su desbloqueo de pantalla Hand ID y sus controles que no requieren tocar el smartphone sean suficientes para convencer a los consumidores, pero pensamos que el usuario medio no va a utilizar estas funciones.
