Third-party reviews

What customers like about LG G7 One (4GB + 32GB)

  • Clean and bloatware-free software experience thanks to the Android One program.
  • Exceptional display brightness reaching up to 1,000 nits for great outdoor visibility.
  • High-end audio features including a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC and 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Solid build quality with IP68 water and dust resistance and a comfortable slim design.
  • Smooth performance in daily tasks despite using an older flagship processor.
  • Boombox Speaker design that provides powerful sound when placed on flat surfaces.

What customers don't like about LG G7 One (4GB + 32GB)

  • Average to poor battery life from the relatively small 3,000mAh capacity.
  • Limited internal storage (32GB) which may feel restrictive without an SD card.
  • Lacks the signature wide-angle secondary camera found on the standard G7 ThinQ.
  • Uses an older Snapdragon 835 processor rather than the contemporary 845 chipset.
  • Slower charging compared to competitors, supporting only Quick Charge 3.0.
  • LCD screen lacks the deep blacks and contrast found in modern OLED displays.

Verdict

The LG G7 One is an Android One smartphone released in October 2018, featuring a 6.1-inch QHD+ (1440x3120) IPS LCD display and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. Main characteristics include its pure, bloatware-free stock Android experience (upgradable to Android 10/11) and premium hardware features like IP68 water and dust resistance, a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for superior audio via its 3.5mm jack, and a loud Boombox speaker. Key pros are the guaranteed, timely software updates from Google, a very bright and sharp display, and solid, durable build quality. Cons include the use of a prior-generation processor (Snapdragon 835 instead of 845 in the G7 ThinQ), a single 16MP rear camera that struggles in low light compared to flagships, and a relatively average 3000mAh battery life.
