![]() Bass is certainly better than any other current phone, but it’s no Bluetooth speaker replacement. This means the back of the phone vibrates when sounds or music is played. Any empty space inside the phone is used, and the water-resistant tape forms a seal that effectively makes the whole phone a speaker cabinet. That’s because the ‘resonance chamber’ is 17 times larger than previous phones. Connectivity and Audioĭespite having a mono speaker in the bottom edge rather than stereo speakers, the G7’s sounds better than you’d expect from a phone. There’s NFC too, which you can use for Google Pay. In Manhattan 3.1, expect a little over 50fps, and around 30fps in the more demanding Car Chase test.Īs you’d expect, all the supporting hardware is the latest standard including 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5. We couldn’t run GFXBench on the G7 that LG sent us to review due to the way the operating system had been installed for test phones, but we know from other 845-equipped phones that it should hit the screen’s 60Hz limit in T-Rex and Manhattan. In JetStream, it managed 86.5, another top-end score. In Geekbench 4, the G7 scored 8979 in the multicore test and 2312 in the single-core. The UK model will have the 4GB / 64GB combo, but as there’s a microSD slot in the SIM tray, you can expand that storage easily. Depending on region, it’s paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage.

Being an IPS panel, it isn’t compatible with Google’s Daydream VR headset. ![]() The screen defaults to quad HD out of the box, but you can choose a lower resolution if you want to try and eke out more battery life. With Super Bright mode disabled, the brightest you’ll see is around 500 nits. It was only when we took the setup outside and allowed the sun to shine on the G7 that we finally saw 971 nits. We used our Spyder 5 colorimeter to measure peak ‘Boosted’ brightness indoors and were baffled that it varied between around 630 and 750 nits. You might like to know the differences in screen tech, so check out our It’s a shame that you have to enable it manually (the AI smarts clearly aren’t up to the job of making this process automatic for some reason) and it’s also slightly annoying that you won’t get the maximum of 1000 nits unless it is absolutely dazzling outdoors. And it’s much easier to view a web page, read and reply to a text message or use the dialler to ring someone. It’s also useful when using the viewfinder to frame a photo, but it’s not meant to be used for long periods: it turns off after three minutes to preserve battery life and prevent overheating. We took the G7 outdoors in very bright conditions and it’s noticeably brighter than all its rivals.
