LG G7 One

The G4 was a good device, think it sold quite well. The G5 was a total fail and I feel that the G6 and G7 was just underwhelming next to the Samsungs and iPhones it was competing against. Also, LG need to spend a lot more and marketing.
 
Looking forward to the new g7 one. I owned a g3 and the g5 se currently. They both served me well except the first week when the screen spilt. I got it replaced immediately.

G5 is actually a pretty good phone, it got heavily discounted after a couple of months, was cheaper than getting a new mid-range phone about half a year after launch. It just had no business trying to compete as a proper flagship, it should have been sold as an upper mid-range. Currently LG has no real mid-range phones, either extreme budget or phablet or near flagship while not being flagship. They just aren't targeting properly or they're not looking at their competition. The V20 was probably the most recent phone of theirs that was actually interesting imho.
 
After the G4 won't touch them again. The camera was great, the rest of it eh
 
Comments state it starts at $800 Canadian dollars, so ~$610 US, ~533 EUR, ~R8900.
That is way overpriced for last gen SoC, an okay battery, an okay RAM and an okay camera and an LCD display.
Last gen SoC means not latest quick charge that even most mid rangers have.

At least it comes with Bluetooth 5. /s

Only thing that makes it look good is the fact that it has an aux port.

Price here: https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/10/19/lg-g7-one-now-available-in-canada/
The $800 is the cheapest, other carriers there are $840-875 Canadian.

Meanwhile the G7 thinQ retails at ~$560 US on Amazon currently. It seems to have a lot of bad reviews though, in terms of people having problems in regards to build quality/defects.

Yeah that's way too much for it. But as far as I know Canada gets inflated prices compared to the USA alot of the time. Will have to wait and see if it ever gets here

This thing should be retailing for ~$400 US, doubt they'll do that though.

Hopefully it comes here though. I'd like another Android One option other than Nokia

Another option needs to be realistically priced though. With Android one you're comparing hardware and not software, so the pricing vs specs is quite important.

Agreed. I am just thinking inevitably the price drops and since they get 2 years of major updates anyway, it still realistically relevant.

Yeah, but price drop will probably be a year later, so less updates.

I'm also expecting LG to pull an idiot move of skimping hardware in the South African market, we keep getting cut-down versions of their international phones at the same price as elsewhere.

You mean like the G5 SE?

G5 SE, LG K10 and newer, LG Stylus, think the G6 as well (that one changes the USB version from 3.1 to 2, but it got released in a lot fewer markets).
At least the SE they added the SE behind it so you know. For the K10 2017 no NFC or fingerprint reader in South Africa, but international variant has it, no price difference, no knowing about it until you buy. I haven't handled any LG phones since early 2017 though, so don't know if they still do it. I like the LG OS since so close to stock while adding things like clipboard, and yet they do dumb things like skimping or hardware defects and wonder why their phones don't sell well.
