Of all the big global brands in the smartphone space, LG is probably the most easily overlooked. The company doesn't have a huge presence in the budget and mainstream segments these days, but still pushes out one premium V-series and G-series model every year. We've liked a lot of what we've seen, and these phones have impressed us with their cameras, displays, and overall performance. More importantly, LG seems to put a lot of thought into its products, with various little features and conveniences that stand out in an increasingly homogenous world.
The new LG G8s ThinQ has arrived in the Indian market quite a bit later than we would have expected for a 2019 flagship device, and so it doesn't win any firsts in terms of specifications. Is this phone good enough to win over buyers who are looking at the current “value flagships” from OnePlus, Xiaomi , and others, or even more premium models from Samsung and Apple? We're about to find out.
