SHOULD I UPGRADE?
Should I upgrade? LG G7 THINQ

Remember that kid in school who was never top of the class, but was just quirky enough that all the teachers still loved him? That’s kinda like the LG G7 ThinQ. It can’t compete with the iPhone X or Galaxy S9 in terms of camera or design, but its wacky feature list and affordable price help it stand out from the competition.
The G7’s special skills include a BoomBox speaker that’s beefy enough to match a laptop’s, a 1000-nit display that’s so bright it has no fear of sunlight, and a wide-angle camera – so you’ll never again have to make the agonising decision of which friend to cut out of the holiday snaps.
ThinQ before you buy
Let’s get to the real question, though: is the G7 ThinQ good enough to persuade you to ditch last year’s G6? In short, yes. You get an improved QHD+ display, speedier innards, a bump up to Android 8 and a snazzier iPhone-imitating design. And since it’ll only cost a reasonable £599, it seems like a simple choice.
