As nice as their phones are, two reason why i would never buy an LG phone
1. You cant get their parts easily to fix the phone incase of repair or even their accessories. I got their G6 which cost 195k and when i needed a new charging cable, it was hell. I roamed all of Lagos just for charging cable and the worse part is i had to buy it off someone. Also the LG notes, that cost me 75k, screen broke and i went to theirservice center, i was told it will cost me 50k to fix the screen which i think is ridiculous and worse is i dont even think they themselves have parts for their phones cos they were saying they will have to request it. Why produce a phone and not have its part available and accessible, i dont understand!

2. Is that their phones have no 2nd hand value, even to LG itself. How do i mean you will ask? Okay, after getting the cable for the G6, and i know finding accessories for their phone was a problem, i thot maybe i swap in any of the phone shops that swap old phones for new, i went to slots and slots rejected it saying they dont swap LG and i was like am in big shit. Okay, i went to LG itself, more importantly where i got the phone and the phone that i bought 195k, they were now selling for 205k and i asked if they would swap, that i pick the new and pay the difference but they said even though they are open to swap, not G6 and i was like are you kidding me....

Implying they knew the ish with the phone yet they keep putting it available and frauding customers cos you will never know till after you paid.

LG, nice phone but never again men, no matter how enticing

The snapdragon 845 is a beast in performance,it is 15 percent faster than the previous flagship 835,it is 17.19 % faster in download speeds.Alot of phone users only buy phones based on camera pixels and screen size and Ram neglecting the the chipset. smiley

Market determines the faith of these products. LG isn't liked in Nigeria so if you buy one, it's at your own peril. Slot doesn't have LG stand again same goes for some outlets, G6 was a mistake of a phone hence their outright rejection.

If you want to spend a fortune buying phones in Nigeria, Samsung and IPhones is the way

Ya wasting your time, believe no computer village marketer will want to sell this phone, not just because of the price but because of the kind of consumers we have here.

They prefer to buy iPhone x than buying this.

That's a lie we tell ourselves. If you have seen the drops on Samsung phones with 3000mah batteries, you would understand better.
I have seen tecno L8 being pressed and I can tell you that its 5000mah battery is what they said it is. 3000mah battery will always be 3000mah battery.

Bros can u explain? I dnt much abt these gadget terminologies.
ok MaH is just that amount of power a phone packs, but it doesn't always determine the phone's battery life, phone like infinix and his brothers tecno and itel use mediatek processor which is battery hungry, that is y they have to put a bigger battery in their phones, other thing is the screen, some screens more power hungry too, by the way.....flagship devices have to make their phones look attractive, and that equals the phones being as flat as possible.Not like your typical infinix phones that look like power bank because of the battery and co..... what I'm saying is that everything goes down to the phone's battery management....thank you

I can tell you that the phone is cheap if that is the actual price, the specs of this phone is top premium and beat everything Samsung and IPhone have in the market right now.
I think LG so so underrated in this part of the world, they deserve some accolades.

haba! the battery is just one feature out of the many listed there na. A lycan hypersport isn't any less a beast simply because the battery it uses isnt much diff from other car batteries.

and someone has already explained, the battery in this case will be more efficiently run due to the specs,

Ask questions when you have limited knowledge of topic of discussion, even a 2,200mah is more than enough for the chipset. SD 845 is lightening fast, not what you have ever experienced.

Sizes of battery mostly doesn't matter,

Rate of battery consumption depends mostly on the hardware of that device.

Shey na samsung u call am. Samsungs are known for their bad batteries.
Compare that your L8 with nokia 6 or 8. And see wat am saying.
