Last year LG has announced its flagship G8 ThinQ with some high-end specifications and features. LG G8 ThinQ, despite coming with some best in class features and pricing, it did not get a chance to stand up against the likes of OnePlus, Samsung, and etc. LG always kept it low-key since the very beginning. Although they make some decent phones at highly competitive pricing, the do not promote them.
LG G8 ThinQ was released in April 2019 and went against the OnePlus 7 series. The LG G8 ThinQ comes packed with Snapdragon 855 SoC, coupled with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. The LG G8 ThinQ was launched with Android 9 Pie with LG UX 9.0 skin on top. LG UX is feature-rich but it feels like it is an interface from 2015.
