Editorial report

LG G8S ThinQ technical sheet

The LG G8S ThinQ suits buyers who put an OLED display and a versatile camera high on the list, but its 3,550 mAh battery holds less than most phones of its time. Wired charging is 18 W, an average figure, while 5 W wireless charging is among the best of its time. The trade-off is plain: it brings strong camera credentials and a capable screen, but battery capacity is a step behind.

Its 6.21-inch display has 401 ppi, above average for phones of its time, and supports HDR10 and Always-On Display. Optical image stabilization is available, and the telephoto camera offers 2x optical zoom, among the best of its time. The camera overall is also among the best. A Snapdragon 855, 6 GB of RAM and an AnTuTu result of 421,607 put its hardware better than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is better than most as well.

The phone weighs 181 g, slightly heavier than average for its time. It has 128 GB of expandable storage, Android 9 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 5.5. For buyers drawn to OLED and flexible camera options, the LG G8S ThinQ makes a persuasive case; those prioritizing battery capacity will find that its 3,550 mAh figure falls short of most phones of its time.
