Good quality for the price
After being a samsung customer for several years, I made a leap of faith on the LG brand. The first phone I owned was actually an LG flip phone. With that being said, expect to make a huge adjustment with this brand. Picture and video quality are actually pretty outstanding, along with the processor. What does drive me a bit nuts is the keyboard. Yes it probably sounds petty but when you come from Samsung features and cross over to LG features, your going to notice a change! Again though, this is why I mentioned expecting a change. Depending on your budget, this phone is a pretty penny but your also getting a boatload of memory on it! Not sure if the Best Buy guys were blowing smoke at me but if my Ipod nano ever dies, this thing can fit a lot of music. Onto my purchase adventure. So it took me two trips to get this phone because there was a minor discrepancy with my crossover since I was still with straight talk. So, after about a full week of back and forth with straight talk/Verizon I was able to switch and pick this one up. However, make sure you test it out before you buy, as you would a car. Also, as friendly as the best buy reps present themselves, do not expect them to take care of you after you leave the building. The guy who sold my LG to me was very informative. When I had to call back in with a question regarding my phone, I was told by the rep that he was giving them my number to call me back in a few minutes. Well it never happened! I can't believe they were that busy but I find it a bit shade that their that irresponsible to not return a simple call. Thankfully I called Verizon and they helped me with the issue I had. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be buying a phone from best buy again.

Fast with great battery life!
I'm very happy with my LG G8 ThinQ! I wanted a Snapdragon 855, I didn't want a curved screen and I wanted 128GB of built in storage and wireless charging. I also got a nice size phone with great cameras, 6GB of RAM and a few other features I really like! One thing I like is you can customize the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. You can place them in any order you want and add a few custom LG buttons. Another thing I like is there's a dot at the far left of the navigation bar and if you double tap it that will hide the navigation bar. This seems to work in almost any app! As far as the home screen goes, I install Nova Launcher on every phone I get and it runs very well with that on and gives me all the features I know and love. The battery life is very good! It has 3600mAH battery which is fine but not huge by today's standards. The thing that helps a lot is the 7nm die size of the Snapdragon 855 - half the size of the CPU in my last photo. That reduces wasted power by converting less power to heat. My biggest disappointment is probably that the dedicated Google Assistant button on the left can't be remapped for a different function. You can disable it but not remap it. I even like Google Assistant but I was bumping it by accident too often and there are plenty of ways to activate Google Assistant without having a dedicated button. I haven't found the hand id to work very well. I haven't used the motions for media control. The fingerprint reader and face unlock both work very well. I almost forgot to mention the audio. This phone has some crazy audio capabilities. I like the way the sound comes through the screen. It actually works well and gives better than usual volume with good clarity. The real treat comes when you use headphones! This phone has a quad-digital to analog converter and audio does sound very good from it! You can turn on 3D if you want for a fuller sound. It also comes with an app that will let you record at up to 24bit 192khz! Anyway, I've found this to be a great phone with some cool extras and am very happy I chose the LG G8 ThinQ!

Beautiful phone.
Color makes for a rich sleek look. Easy to handle. Love the speaker and camera. Width of phone fits easier in the hand. Phone does slide easily on all surfaces. Even flat ones so definitely needs a case.
