[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16221970, member: 45161"] The LG G8 is a great phone, especially if you install Gcam (Pixel camera port). Pros: video, photo, and audio powerhouse. Good all around phone. The quad DAC they use for their audio jack is industry leading by a large margin. It's cheap....especially if you buy on Swappa. Sdcard slot. Great build quality. The phone uses its screen for an earpiece speaker and it is absolutely bananas for phone calls. Traditional fingerprint scanner works reliably. Haptic feedback is comparable to the iPhone. It has a front time of flight sensor so face unlock is instant and very secure. Cons: LG doesnt update their phones often. The audio recording mics are in a class of their own but the G8 is a step down from the V40. Accessory selection is slim. Development community is nonexistant. Even though it's fixed by a launcher, the LG home skin is the worst out of the three. I just sold an LG V40 to get the G8. The G8 has a slightly better camera but the V40 records audio in videos better. You can't go wrong with either S10: Pros: Good all around performer. It kind of does everything well Has an audio jack and a really good screen. It also had exceptional accessory selection because it's so widely used. They resell well. Sdcard slot. 5G version available. Cons: Samsung phones don't age well and their software still tends to consume itself. A few reviewers have followed up their reviews starting that long term performance is better than it used to be but still not great. The screen hole punch is terrible. Cost. The in screen fingerprint scanner isn't reliable. Pixel 3: Pros: hardware performance ages exceptionally well. It has the best point and shoot camera. Updates make everyone jealous.

Traditional fingerprint scanner works reliably Cons: video and audio recording are embarrassingly bad. No Sdcard slot and no wide or telephoto camera. No headphone jack. It doesn't have enough ram. The screen notch is huge. Phones are tough to shop for.

Fyi, the pixel 3A is a good option if cost is a concern (as are LG's phones on Swappa (they don't hold value well). The One Plus 7 pro is a pretty interesting phone too. [/QUOTE]
