Use the force, Luke!
The back looks really clean without a camera bump!
That vein unlock thingy looks really stupid 🙁
Still has that fugly notch.
I lost my index finger a couple of years back when mobsters cut it off to unlock my phone and get to my banking app… now i unlock my phone with the middle finger… no way am i going to use my whole hand… i still have plenty of fingers
Wow 3.5 mm jack
“Phone can sense hemoglobin in your blood”.
Who asked for this useless feature?
Work on batteries that can last for a week, not this shit.
Takes out LG G8 in public and proceeds to use hand gestures. People stare at you and think you are mentally challenged, they proceed to call security and escort you to a mental clinic.
a notch? no thank you, buy it yourself LG
Same price as s10, 2gb ram less, no new tech (vein reading what yea nooooo.…. Lame never will be used) has a notch no sane person will buy this over the s10. $500 phone at best.
You know… Samsung should’ve used this time of flight front camera LG is using because then Samsung could’ve had 3d facial recognition with it hole in the screen design. Now the S10 just has less secure 2d scanning which is really crappy and not secure at all.
ill consider buying it when it drops to half its price, like all LG phones do
Imagine, rotating that imaginary knob in metro And people around you: let’s move from here.
Does it have vapor cooling chamber?
Keep the headphone jack.
the technology is interesting and could be amazing for other things, but on a phone seems a bit useless.
Thats the future dude.
Can’t wait for Apple’s foreskin detection
It’s no secret that LG caters to a niche audience. So far they’ve done a pretty good job.
Now I understand what the G stands for. G for gimiks.. LG Gimik8 ThinQ. ThinQ Next!!
Basically a copy of Samsung’s useless Air Gestures. And LG wonders why their mobile division is dying.
Now you’ll be doing ABRA KADABRA all the time with your G8 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lets see here for people who don’t understand..
If you’re holding your phone, you’re better off using that fingerprint sensor on the back
But when your phone rest on a table/stand, and you just want to unlock it while its there, using our hand in the air is actually better than face ID (you don’t have to put your face above your phone)
Lg need to give it up
The whole hand blood thing is neat. Super fascinating technology that’s being used in the absolute wrong way. If this tech was in a smart tv or some sorta Kinect kit it would make more sense. I get everyone is trying to innovate and that’s awesome. But I just don’t personally see the need for most of these gimmicks this year.
What happens if you get drunk, eat too much fat, or self-medicate, like OD? Just wondering.… 🤣
Omg…I cant wait to not buy this
Underwhelming. Only thing i like i the under display speakers.
The Samsung s4 had a bunch of the hand gestures way earlier
The fact everyone complains about a notch and how it’s not an S10, I’d rather have a centered notch with purpose then a hole in my screen off centered to the right for a camera.
So now G series is like V series & V series a downgrade.
Vein unlock…!!! LG must be kidding ryt…???
G8 is a good improvement, only that notch is annoying but at least now it can be hidden better with that new cool OLED
I’m getting this phone. Yeah it has a notch but they used it to be more useful with hand unlock and a front facing 3d camera which is definitely going to be sick. The speaker under the display is one of a kind and it still has the dac and boom box speakers. I have the g7 and it’s a great phone baterry life is good not great but I get through a full day on more than average usage. I’m gonna pay half of my g7 off n get this phone. I’m not worried about a galaxy s10 that has a oval shaped hole in the display. Can’t wait to get this!!! 🤩😲
Another piece of junk from LG ! LG is on the way out with their junk of smartphones , I know for I had an lg 5 worse thing I have ever did was buy it .It is now in the landfill carbage which is a good place for all LG junk!
Wait what this phone reads your blood😳😳😳😳😳 okay that’s interesting and creepy all at the same time.🤔🤔
Why use a hemoglobin reader? Very high security and much more difficult to fool.
Would the quality of the sound of the speakers change much if you apply a screen protector?
LG will making the most useless things
LG will making the most useless things
Very nice preview, presentation and production! Just ordered one!
All the reviewers are knocking this phone. I say, bush-wa. If your on T‑Mobile 619.00 is a great price. The g8’s display is the only display that rivals the s10+. And an audiophile’s dream phone. The cameras & battery are also very good. This is a very good effort on LG’S part!
Wish they screen wasn’t curved
wow thats the features ihve been looking for , thst waving hand control and 3D face unlock since i do workingnon kithen lmao 😂
but sadly already ordered the g7
“bro my veins are different”
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
