The build quality of the LG G7 ThinQ is stellar. The phone feels very solid in the hand and the smaller frame makes one hand operation very simple compared to the rather larger V30. We have all the ports (single speaker, USB Type C, 3.5mm headphone jack) neatly arranged on the bottom side, while the power button has now been given an independent button on the right-hand side. The fingerprint sensor is rear mounted, and while I wouldn’t say that its the fastest on the market, it still gets the job done.
We now also have a dedicated AI button, located below the volume rockers. Much like Samsung’s Bixby button, the AI button on the G7 ThinQ launches the AI even if the display is off. The difference?
While Samsung has Bixby, LG has decided to play it safe and offers the more reliable Google Assistant instead.
