Having been touted as the best (and cheapest) alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy S10 in our review, the G8 ThinQ from LG has given us yet another reason to put the phone forward for consideration; an even more affordable price. Thanks to Black Friday, the LG G8 ThinQ has been reduced to almost firesale levels of just $399/£3999 from Amazon.
As mentioned, the G8 ThinQ sports a Snapdragon 855 processor under the hood, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of built-in storage, and microSD card support for up to 2TB. So it’s already ahead of the Pixel 4 in a couple of areas, not just price. There’s a 6.1-inch FullVision OLED display with QHD+ resolution, a 16MP + 12MP rear camera setup with OIS and dual PDAF, along with an 8MP selfie camera.
Powering the G8 ThinQ is a 3,500Ah battery with a USB Type-C charging port, as well as wireless charging as standard. The phone also has the AirMotion gesture controls, although you may want to forget about that.
Underappreciated and perhaps wrongly priced at launch, it’s a whole of phone for just $399/£399. In the US the unlocked version is compatible with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Boost, Cricket, and Metro, while the UK variant features all the necessary 4G bands.
