Although that's an excellent time, competitors like the S10E and the OnePlus 6T lasted a bit longer at 17 hours. It performed just as well as the Galaxy S10E in our benchmark tests (which makes sense since they have the same processor), and it predictably edged out the OnePlus 6T given that the 6T has last year's Snapdragon 845 chipset.Īs for the battery, the LG G8 averaged about 16 hours, 37 minutes of continuous video playback in airplane mode. Its performance is fast and reliable and I didn't notice any hiccups. With Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chipset, the LG G8 has a top-of-the-line processor. LG G8 is super speedy with solid battery life You'll also attract a lot of looks while making a Frankenstein claw to control your phone. For now though, you can only use it in very specific ways.

Priced higher than any previous G-series flagship before it, between $820 and $850 depending on the carrier, it's available on April 11. The G8 in and of itself is a great phone. (See our lineup of 2019's best phones here.) Its last couple of flagship phones didn't take off, and it still must compete against bigger companies like Samsung, Huawei and Apple too. And while smartphone sales are down globally, things are especially difficult for LG. Though the company overall is profiting, its mobile division posted a $172 million loss in the second quarter of 2018. Of all the new Galaxy phones, the more affordable Galaxy S10E is the phone LG needs to lure potential buyers away from.Īnd lure it must. But the biggest threat to the G8 isn't next-gen data speeds or fancy folding displays. While LG was launching its LG G8 ThinQ flagship phone, its biggest rival Samsung announced five (!) Galaxy phones, including a 5G-enabled model and the headline-stealing Galaxy Fold.
