Really trying to pay attention to camerawork (and the music choice!) in my more recent videos - what do you think? 🤔 To see my top Tech Fails of the decade: irglo.info/from/grCIo4WJoabAeWg/fy-lm-h-y.html
I gat that LG K41 S
Higher service .Tested .and longer Samsung life
You started typing out the words you were saying in your video like we can't understand you and need parts of it written down for use because we're like 5 years old. Hell no I can't subscribe to that.
I uses a LG phone
He said: Das ist nicht gut.. And that doesnt mean: Thank you it means: This is not good.. Thats German
He did a better advertisement for LG than their whole PR team have done in the last 8 years
LG Phones are the best deals now... The price is low, the tech is top quality. Buy them up, while you still can.
Your comment is very true well worth a like. I didn't even know LG is still making phones, since flip cam shell days
Dats da problem
@Dr Bh Welp I like LG but they will never match the s series and note series in quality and performance they will match apple ig they will almost match Samsung but never match them

Had an LG G7 for a long time (got it a bit after release) and I feel like their design language was absolute top tier at the time. Im using a Xiaomi 11t rn and while it is an incredible upgrade especially battery life, amoled and 120hz, I miss the UI of the LG Skin. If you get used to it, it feels so beautiful. Also anything Audio related was working perfectly. I feel like Xiaomi is the complete reversal sadly in that regard. It also had less bugs, but I feel like Xiaomi just really is bad in the Software Department. If LG ever wants to get back into the game they should start with all the premium features (120hz Amoled, High Battery Life, etc..) and then set themselves apart with things like the Hi-Fi DAC. If they just made a 2022 Version of the G7 I would have stayed.
I'm still using my LG v20.
finally someone who uses an xiaomi 11t.
Emm, i think MIUI has so so many bugs ,and it 's so difficult to use it ,I still use xiaomi 10u(because i' m poor ).but now i plan to use huawei p50 or apple13
I'm still using my G6. 2017.
I remember having the lg g flex, which was one of the craziest smartphones back then.. was so futureproof in terms of specs and features.. huge 6.0 screen... I feel like they could keep up this line up and make sick smartphones with best proccesors and screens
I always liked LG, back in the day, in middle school I had a low end LG, basic and cheap, and I loved it, it was quick, it was all that I needed and it lasted me four years and could have lasted me more if I hadn't broken it accidentally, I was so impressed by it I bought another LG phone, their sounds were cute (to me), I liked the camera, it was also quick, way better storage memory and it wasn't expensive, it sure cost me more than the other one, but it was a good deal, after that, I heard many people say LG wasn't good anymore for some reasons and stopped hearing from them ever since. Sadly I was mugged and that phone was stolen shortly after, never had an LG afterwards for one reason or another I thought they had stopped selling phones altogether. Last one I heard of was the LgG5.
I sat on an EnV from 2009 through 2017. Always enjoyed that flipper and it toughed it out until the front screen intermittently failed and it kept running out of memory. Mainly because of the keyboard, I went to a BB classic and then another keyboard phone this year when BB OS support took a blow around June 2021. Sorry you had your possessions yanked, that must have been traumatizing and tiring to recover from.
I had an lg G3, V30, and now a V60. I loved how fast the laser autofocus was on the G3. Unfortunately I really do feel the pain of them not collecting the technologies they pioneered into the V60. It's essentially their equivalent of the note series but it just feels like an average phone
This makes me feel bad for LG. They are like the SUPER smart kid in school that everyone goes to for answers for homework but never talks to him
I have an lg smartwatch that was awesome too
I think that LG new brand identity, "From Nerd to Nerd'. 😂
Like me. Really.
Like me
That's me 😞😡😠
I've been with Samsung since the original S. I watch reviews for different brands but never actually got one. I just feel comfortable with Samsung to the point I'm scared to leave them. I only ever really thought to switch to apple but the unavailability of some apps I use made it difficult.
Which apps?
Great video, I agree with most of what you say. Still, I'll miss them. I had the G3 and the G5 and they had great things that I really missed when they were gone. * The Power button on the back which included a fingerprint scanner was much better than putting your finger on the screen to unlock. * I still think the Volume buttons on the back were better too, though more debatable. * The G5 was one of the last phones with replaceable batteries, which was great too. (granted, the G5 battery life sucked, as did its lifespan). I didn't care for the modularity of it, I never used that. But changing batteries gave this feeling as if you're reloading a gun, hehe. I got 2 chinese phones since the G5, and they are just not on the same level. One thing that could have been added to the video: availability. We get a free phone with a new contract (every 2 years) and at some point local carriers stopped handing out LG phones, so I HAD to switch to another brand.
They consistently had a lower megapixel selfie cam but loved their wide angle wish they just had better software support love the expandable storage loved everything about LG except the fact that they didn't have good software support who wants to be stuck at the same software since the time you bought your phone
I used an LG G2, G4 and G6. All were good handsets with the lG g4 with a really good camera - 16 megapixel and laser auto focus. Their UI was one of the first to use gestures to unlock the device. Anyway I felt after g6 they lost the plot slightly.
So basically, LG is the smartest kid in the class but has ADHD so nobody takes him seriously
thats me
As and LG user and cillege student with ads this is true
@Chuchuca Fax bro, it doesn't give you intelligence, it just changes how you solve peoblems and act at different situations. I have Aspergers as well so I know a lot about it
@TessR Gaming I have ADHD aswell, and is a symptom we use to have, thinking we're smarter than we really are.
@Chuchuca Jokes on you, I WAS the smartest. IRglo is such a toxic place lmao
To me LG's really always been about innovation. They're having fun with their products; designing and descarding them on a whim. But the real reason why I've always been satisfied with LG is mere accessibility. More often than not they're affordable, quality devices. I do admit, I've never truly commited exclusively to LG. However, always seem to find my way back to them.
I personally used a V60 as my daily driver for a solid two years and the price I got it for was a steal given that it came with a second year of warranty, the secondary display (which is why I wanted it in the first place), and a set of their wireless earbuds. But that primary reason is why I dropped it almost immediately when the Galaxy Z Fold3 was available to me - they blew it. Between the bulky hinge in the middle making it useless for trying to view content across both screens, the really inconsistent behaviour of apps in response to the secondary display (and seriously, if I wanted to use the phone in landscape view with both displays and use the whole bottom display as a keyboard a la old school BlackBerry, I had to use their software keyboard...which is terrible), and the fact that the "display case" relied on a proprietary magnetic charging port which was a dongle I had to put on the end of my USB C cable which also had the magnetic strength of a flimsy refrigerator magnet/sticker thingy...it just wasn't worth using and gathered dust on my nightstand. Z Fold3 comes out? Bought it immediately, despite it's insane price tag. Ditched the V60 like it was was out to kill me. LG just completely blew it when it came to their most compelling feature to me and I wouldn't have even bought it in the first place if I were to be able to discover the issues with the secondary display on a demo model which wasn't running their custom tailored apps. Then LG's mobile division just shut down completely long before I bought the Z Fold3 not even giving me an option to stay loyal to the brand.
So far the best smart phone I had was LG v30. It was fast, lightweight, superior build quality, thinnest bezzels at the time, great rear camera. LG deserves better.
I have an LG v30 as well. I was hoping that I would love it. But there were too many hardware faults with my particular unit that made me not want to use it.
I have the lg40 still and I love it; the floating bar is amazing… I’m not upgrading to the pixel 6 pro but that floating bar and manual photo mode will be missed
I like how Sony can name their PlayStations correctly, but just not their phones, lol.
@Marxas1986 Thomas not just Bluetooth
@Deimos when I had Sony headphones for a bit the name was so big that I just memorised the word soap cause it was like 50ap But Sony is really good with headphones those were cheap and sounded great and were really comfy
Now I just think of how xbox phones would be Xphone 1, 2 3 Xbox Is basically the opposite of playstation in terms of naming
Not exactly, its more like Xperia 1 mark 2 judging by the way it is stylized, it's a very common naming convention.
@Smoke Up BAHAHAHAHAHAH
As a longtime lover of LG phones since e400, am still mourning the mobile department's demise. The deal with LG is its durability especially its Corning glass. Incredible lifespan of long ago models.
Watching this just makes me love LG and for them being so unconventional. And my first favourite smartphone was an LG so maybe it could be something sentimental.
I *loved* my LG G2, including the novel-for-the-time sensor that allowed you to double tap on the screen to turn it on, and a really good camera. LG felt like a genuine top tier manufacturer - and I remember being excited about the G3's laser autofocus, but was all about trying different manufacturers, and I went for an HTC as my next handset. After that, I never got another LG again, partly as it felt like Samsung had upped their game to match iPhone build quality and no one really kept up. Sort of felt like LG had kinda dropped to a sub-premium tier manufacturer - then Samsung Forever or whatever the program was at the time rewarded me for just switching to the next Galaxy/Note... so I got stuck in the cycle

Some years ago now, I had an LG Flex, and ive never loved a smartphone the way I loved that thing. It was by no means a powerful device at all, but it did everything i needed it to do perfectly, and the pure magic of it was its physical design. Putting the lockscreen and volume control buttons on the back panel was a stroke of genius, and you dont realise how much of a difference that makes to every day use until you actually have that feature. Being in the position they are, they dont get in the way at all, and are in the perfect spot that you dont have the to hold the phone in unnatural position to use them. Use the phone, lock the screen, and put it away, in one seemless movement. The curvature of the screen made no difference to my eyes, but it was a mixed bag to others. Some people tried it and loved it. Others thought it was a strain on the eyes to use. While I owned that phone, I was taking public transport to work every day, during which i was listening to music for most of the trip. With the music app in use, the volume controls doubled as track selection, and the lock screen button doubled as play/pause. Common features, but because the buttons were outward-facing while the phone was in my pocket, it meant I didn't even need to reach for my phone. One tap on my pocket was all it needed. Further to that, the curvature of all facets of the phone meant it was extremely ergonomical in my hand, but even better than that, it formed perfectly against my body while in my pocket. I couldnt even feel it was there most of the time. No other smartphone ive owned was or is like that. They all feel a bit cumbersome and intrusive, but never the Flex. On multiple occasions i completely forgot it was in my pocket for this reason. One faithful and windy day on my trip home, the flailing earphone wire caught the bag of a passer-by, and the phone flung out of my hand. It performed a fantastic and heart-stopping aerial manoeuvre, before hitting the ground, landing perfectly parallel to the pavement, all four corners of the screen contacting the ground at the same time. The screen was a total loss, and emotionally, so was I. I considered replacing it, but given its very low price point at the time, and its frankly rubbish and outdated specs, i moved on and upgraded. The tech has far improved since then, with intergration becoming alot easier along the way, but as for a smartphone being a physical extension of the body, and really what a true 'smart device' should be, nothing compares to the Flex. It really was "The Most Human Phone Ever".
I hope LG has seen your review, if they take your recommendations the company will have a serious turn around. Great review look forward to the next 😀
This is the video that was supposed to be sponsored by LG
They’re defunct bruh
oh boy
idont think so bro Lg's phones never move to forward Thats all because of user interface Thats all Oh yeah and some problem like bootloup and bur in display
I loved my V20, it was an amazing phone, until an OTE update bricked the phone.. and I dont mean like, temporary bug. I mean it fundamentally broke the bootloader. LG refused to RMA it, and after 12 weeks using a cheap $100 phone, I bought a Note 9 which I am still using today. LG eventually did admit that the OTE update bricked the phones and offered to fix them, but by that time I had moved on.
I had 4-5 LG smartphones, budget, and flagship phones and I was pleased with every one of them. My last LG phone was LG G5, such a great phone, love it. The only thing I missed was water resistance on my LG G5. I'm sad that LG stopped the production of smartphones.
I had a G4 and I was so happy to get that (I thought was a) very powerful smartphone with superb camera quality. Until after more or less a year it succumb to a bootloop problem. I googled the issue and found out a lot of users had that problem as well and LG won't fix it. Since then, I erased LG as my option for my next smartphones purchases. I don't feel sorry to a company who wasted my hard earned money. They should stop smartphone business and focus on they smart TV's.
I've had several LG phones (Stylo 2, 4, 6, Tribute, X-Charge, K92) I loved the audio quality and the battery life of the LG's. I thought they were great. However, every single phone had either the battery suddenly die, or the charging port would stop working. It's a shame LG gave up their cell phone production.
This is such a fair assessment of LG. Many US reviewers are far too snarky with LG without adding meaningful commentary. Thanks.
Snarky...must be talking about Juan Bagnell..lol
"Hum! "Hum! What is this fellow, looking for ! Lg's - phone is outstanding! Interesting! High end! Th-is. Video, well, not so much! "Im getting sl--ee-py!! I g-ot too sleep! L-a--t-t--er.
@Alfa Romeo google hasn't changed its mind, so Honor will be the new huawei
@Bradavon of course bro. Where oppo and xiaomi are practicing aggressive low price tag for mid ranger phones, LG still offers high priced phones with inferior chipsets. It is not uncommon to see a budget Redmi device packing a high powered snapdragon with an AMOLED for an inferior price. Well done LG and rest in peace. I hope to never see that brand again as long as android is still around. And yeah. Lg phones are boring to use, Redmi on the other hand is definitively a hit,oh yeah, in case of the headphone jack, Redmi and oppo still offers that port since they build both budget device. And how could I forget Realme with it's GT, a flagship grade device with a snapdragon 888 5g chipset at a ridiculously inferior Price tag
Lgk241 was their best phone!
I remember how excited I was to get and buy the LG Chocolate. I can remember their marketing strategy was excellent and they showcased their innovation through their ads. Can't remember what happened to them as I never even watch reviews on any of their new phones. It's a shame as they are a reputable company.
Had a LG G3 years ago. I loved the phone, but the screen failed spontaniously after warranty and I had to switch that phone to another. So far it has been the only phone I've had that failed on its own due to component failure.
I've had my LG Stylo 6 for 2 years. Great phone. Never had any problems. My phone still looks like new TBH. I think it's just about that time for the 7 though, just to stay up to date. My parents have the same phone and they are very happy with their phone as well. So sad company will soon close. I honestly believe in LG I think they are great.
The LG G2 was my baby. Blew my mind with that beautiful screen and buttons in the back. I think LG went down hill with the LG G3.
I was an Huawei user, Aften then I moved to LG, & Really Lifes Good. The phone is supper faster & good.
Supper lmao
@Mark Edwards I also have LG V40 thinq
I had an lg g4 stylus for a while, it was the best phone i've ever used, lg was and still is my favourite smartphone company when it comes to their actual phones, it's so sad to see that they're facing these problems now
I did the same😂. Huawei Honor 2 2GB (AKA G615) to an LG G4. The Huawei was garbage. Only the camera was decent for the time. After the G4 I started using a €15 second hand Motorola G4 Plus. The Motorola wasn't amazing (except for the one week battery life) but very cheap and still a million times better than the Huawei. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it's the first smartphone I've ever had with a fantastic software experience. It better though for €1350 (incl. 21% Tax). But now I'd rather pay extra and be unoriginal now, buying a Samsung. Just for the software experience. iPhone is not an option as it doesn't support sideloading apps without jailbreaking. Besides I'm not blown away with the iOS user interface (I use an iPad at work).
Same bro
I've been an avid LG user and was heart broken that LG has stopped making phones. This was a fun video to watch and its enjoyable
I loved my LG G4 I had years ago.... Great phone... Comfortable to use with the curved screen... BUT.... that comes the boot loop issues.... I had it replaced with one that wasn't supposed to boot loop, and guess what it did too. Had 3 total boot loop.... Heard many models after that did the same thing.... They lost me as a customer after that...
I will miss LG... Got the 8Gs right now for more then 2 years, I love it!... Would love to see LG get back in the game one day...
I have a V60 and I absolutely love it. I like to have a variety of phones and I haven't considered using another one. My only complaint is that I can't change my font due to the LG store being closed.
There is such a humility to the way this guy presents his content. Unbiased but respectful. Clever but not arrogant. Honestly, him and MKBHD are the best of the best when it comes to tech videos.
@Mrwhosetheboss i will give u piece of advice If company shut down their one branch or sector doest mean they was in loss Its called as management as they were already calculated their BEP(break even point) . Making video in utube is okay but without studying anything related to how company work then it sucks
He dont know anything about company rather than advertisement his own made delusion
@Mrwhosetheboss I want to meet you
@Mrwhosetheboss Can you make an Q&A?
@Mrwhosetheboss Hi arun I am a big fan
LG's smartphones are good enough if we look at the price of that..... I used lots of smartphones from different brands and LG's smartphones are very durable and innovative too as currently I'm using LG wing and it's too good for the price of ₹27000 INR.....as compare with redmi,realme,oppo,Vivo and Samsung too
I had an LG G5 for 2 years, it was a really good phone with a pretty good camera, I had no issues with the camera and still don't, it's obviously not the best but for that time it was great. After that I got the S10, and I was mortified to find the camera was absolute crap! Looks like I'm not the only one, tons of people online were complaining about it and returned their phones. It was too late for me to return mine ugh. S10 is a great phone otherwise though, and beautiful looking phone too. My G5 is either totally shot, or the battery is completely dead and gone...
Ive had the lg stylo g6 for awhile, and the phones actually amazing. I love lg stylo and was ecstatic when the Stylo 7 was coming out just to find out they are canceling it. 😭
My LG v30 runs flawlessly, and aside from me downloading way too many apps, if I we're to reset the phone it'd be back to being very fast phone. Most important aspects for me is RAM and Battery.
ive had two lg phones and they were good
I owned a v40 for 3 years until it was stolen. Most dependable, best phone I ever had, and picked it up for 125 bucks.
@Imaginary how much did it cost?
Me too
Lg is good but I say buy a old samsung or iPhone flagship and they will deliver great value and they will be better than lg
Actually lg is actually good but eh
Just to add. I once demoed one of their phones that were modular and oh my gosh their software skin was TERRIBLE. ESPECIALLY in the settings app. It looked cluttered, there was no recognition, their was no cohesion and uniformity. It was really unsatisfying to use. Another thing as to why people no longer bought Sony phones was their build quality and the fact you could not install apps onnan SD card back in the Android KitKat days. And that is what turned off customers to go to Samsung. To use a phone they recognised as easy yo use and more like how Android should be used and function.
I had an lg phone a couple years ago. The screen and size was great, the battery lasted for days and it had a fingerprint sensor on the back. Honestly I would recommend it for anyone on a budget (it was under $400). Also recommend Motorola phones too. Great phones for when you're on a budget. If you're not on a budget I'd recommend my phone, the Samsung S20 FE.
I really enjoyed this, thank you Mrwhosetheboss! LG would have done well to take you on board with their phone marketing and planning. I still have an LG V30+ (and yes I need to look up the name almost any time anyone asks!!). This is the first LG phone (we also have 2 LG tv's which are fantastic) I have used or had and I am the only person I know with an LG phone, I have really enjoyed it and would buy another if they were available. The design and quality is brilliant. It is 5 years old and the specs and performance are still better than the midrange phones my service provider is trying to get me to take when they phone me up to "upgrade". I am starting to look around for what a good replacement would be as I realise it's days are starting to become numbered from the operating system and upgradibility side.
When you mention trouble making a connection to the LG brand I'm afraid you're wrong. There are lots of V20 users searching for the next replacement but for powerplant update - and none come close. A major reason is the removable battery. Combine that with the quad dac, manual photo/video settings, sd mini support, usb-c port, fast-charging, infrared port, FM radio, 24-bit/192 audio recording, and the headphone jack and you had a daily driver you hold onto a hell of a lot longer than you thought (still use mine as a daily). Btw, the next company to revive the smartphone with a removable battery will murder the market for a while. Let's see who has the guts. Love LG phones. Really sad they're out and didn't get the press they deserved.
It's ironic how a single IRglor knows better than their entire marketing department
👍
LG is the only smartphone company that has been using ESS Sabre Hi-Fi Quad DACs in their phones for years, yet they never made a big deal about it even though it's a huge deal. They missed a huge oportunity of educating consumers on how much better music sounds through their phones with quality headphones. Since the V10, they've been using ESS audio chips and barely made noise about it. It was ESS who made a post on their obscure website every time LG used their chips.
@Saba Meraj reported
Imagine if all these companies hire Mr Whose The Boss as their marketing consultant who speaks what the consumer wants, wouldn’t that be great. As he is the voice of the consumer.
He doesn’t lol he just knows technology and what people expect after reviewing so many smart phone companies.
I had an LG g5, I don't know if I exagerate but the camera was amazing, 4k filming was looking so good, pictures also I think can still beat a lot of modern phones.
