lg g7 lcd screen replacement free sample

LG has started its usual cycle of announcing features of its upcoming flagship phone before announcing the phone itself, and this time it’s for a pretty significant spec: the G7 ThinQ’s screen. We know from countless leaks that the G7 will have a display notch, but now LG is going on the record about its technology.

The G7 screen is a 6.1-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 3210 x 1440. LG is particularly talking up the screen’s brightness, which goes up to 1,000 nits while supposedly consuming up to 30 percent less power than the G6’s; it"s even being branded as “Super Bright Display.” The screen also covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. These specs alone aren’t necessarily groundbreaking, so we’ll have to see how LG’s claim of “the brightest and most vibrant display on the smartphone market today” shakes out.

The announcement also has some details on the G7’s design. The aspect screen’s aspect ratio is 19.5:9, which is the same as the iPhone X’s and taller than last year’s 2:1 G6. The bottom bezel is said to be “almost 50 percent slimmer” than the G6’s, and of course there’s that notch at the top in place of a top bezel. LG says it’s using curved tempered glass on the G7, though it doesn’t sound like the screen itself will curve, which may have something to do with the use of LCD technology.

The G7’s LCD is actually a little surprising given LG’s much-vaunted return to OLED with last year’s V30. That phone’s screen wasn’t exactly well-received, however, and LG Display’s OLED chops came further under fire with the Google Pixel 2 XL’s mediocre panel. Still, given that LG is reportedly making serious efforts to become a big OLED player, the G7 might have been expected to serve as an indicator of the company’s progress. The LCD is all the more conspicuous given that the G7 apparently has an option to black out the display notch, a feature that works a lot better with OLED’s ability to “turn off” individual pixels.

In Union Repair store, we grade our iPhone screen into 5 different types of quality on the basis of different material assembled. The following is the full details of each condition.

It is with widely accept major complaint replacements for original parts, which keeps a right balance between price and quality. It has sustainable supplying chain in China, and all the components of the screen are copy quality. Typically, the LCD screen is from several different factories, the most popular 4 on China market are JK,AUO, LongTeng, and ShenChao. By comparing the brightness and sharpness of the LCD, we found JK is the best quality among them and the second best is AUO. No doubt, the other components on the screen are all copy.

It is better than After Market Basic cause it comes with original laminated flexes and the LCD panel. Other components like touch panel, frame(hot pressed), backlight, polarize lens, and OCA is all copy from different factories.

The core components (like LCD and flexes) is 100% original pulled from used iPhone while the frame and touch panel is copy. The touch panel and frame come together with cold pressed glue and assembled together with the LCD by the capable third-party factory which keeps its excellent quality.

No doubt, it is tear down from used iPhone with all the parts 100% original and working perfectly just like an original new screen, it has whatever the original new screen has. The only complaint about this quality is that some of the displays are with 1 or 2 scratches but still be welcome by our critical customers who are requiring good quality.

It is 100% original from Apple-authorized factories like Toshiba, Sharp, and LG. We get this kind of screen from the first level dealer. The touch panel of the screen is oleophobic coated which prevents from fingerprints when using your iPhone. And starting with iPhone 7g, the backlight from different authorized factories comes with a different code. Backlight from Sharp has the code begins with DKH/CON, from Toshiba begins with C11/F7C/FZQ, from LG begins with DTP/C3F.

The G7 may be a tough sell at its $750 launch price, but there"s not much to complain about here. The new LG flagship gets most of the fundamentals right, and offers stand-out features in the form of a Quad DAC-powered headphone jack, and the best wide-angle camera.

Back in January I didn"t expect to be reviewing an LG G7 this year. The phone was supposed to be dead, killed off by a change in top-level management at the Korean firm. In the following months, it became clear that LG was instead giving the G7 a final spit-polish before unveiling it to the world.

Who knows what the G7 would"ve looked like had LG stuck to its original timeline and launched around Mobile World Congress in February. But as for the product we have today, I"m glad LG took its time, and I"m glad it didn"t just abandon the G7, as was originally rumored.

We"re publishing this review after just over a week with a final, retail-ready LG G7 ThinQ. I (Alex Dobie) have been using an SKT-branded Korean G7 (LG-G710N) with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage on the Chunghwa Telecom network in Taipei, Taiwan. The device was running software version 10N.

In the run up to the G7"s retail release, I had also been using a pre-production U.S. model G7 running uncertified firmware. This review is based on the final G7, not the pre-production unit. The biggest difference I"ve noticed going from the early G7 to the production model is a significant bump in battery life.

Externally, the G7 is not a phone that rocks the boat. Design-wise, LG"s new handset plays it relatively safe, with an aesthetic combining the characteristics of the V30 and G6 (OK, and maybe a certain other phone as well). It"s a far cry from the old, crazy LG, which would flail from leather-backed plastic one year to modular nonsense the next.

LG"s newfound design sobriety has been mostly a positive step. The G6 and V30 were both good, solid phones without any serious flaws, and the same applies to the G7. The new problem for LG is how to stand out when it"s producing this kind of phone, because absolutely everyone is producing this kind of phone.LG"s design sobriety continues, as the company pushes audio and AI in the G7.

LG"s answer is to ship an impressive wide-angle camera, a headphone jack powered by a beastly Quad DAC, and a roaring Boombox speaker system. And because this is a ThinQ phone (pronounce it "thin cue," not "think"), there"s an Artificial Intelligence angle as well. But you can probably forget about the AI gimmickry, which expands the AI shooting modes first seen in the V30 S and builds out a few tepid predictive features elsewhere in the software.

You"ll see the cringey ThinQ brand every time you turn the G7 over, but I"ve largely ignored it related features in my use of the phone. Instead of getting high on AI, I"ve been enjoying the G7 because it gives me a small-ish phone with great audio and a wide-angle camera experience I can"t get anywhere else.

The size is perfect for one-handed use, and the sharp chamfers and thicker sides make for an easier grip than a similarly-sized Samsung phone. LG"s color options are a little dull, but at least there"s some variety to be seen in the G7 palette. There are boring black and grey versions, but I"ve spent most time with the moroccan blue and raspberry rose hues, which add a splash of color while still looking reserved compared to a flame red HTC U12+ or twilight Huawei P20.

Before we go any further, let"s at least acknowledge the presence of a screen notch. Yep, it"s there. Nope, as we"ve established before, the notch isn"t a huge deal if it"s done right. LG"s implementation refers to the display cutout as a "new second screen," which is bizarre, because unlike the V-series namesake you can"t actually do anything useful with it. It is possible, however, to black out the background color in LG apps if the irregular shape bothers you. (Unlike Huawei and OnePlus"s models, you can"t eliminate the notch in all apps.)

Either way, I"ve come across no major compatibility issues around the notch, and I appreciate the extra vertical space provided by LG"s super-tall 19.5:9 panel. This screen is a major improvement upon the G6"s LCD in just about every way. It"s an RGBW panel, with an extra white subpixel for extra brightness, in addition to the red, green and blue subpixels that all normal LCDs have, for extra brightness. The backlight can go all the way up to 1000 nits in its boosted brightness mode, but weirdly you need to enable this manually, it won"t trigger by itself in very bright daylight like it does on Samsung phones.

The one thing that might jump out at you is the 3,000mAh battery, which numerically is on the low side compared to the competition. Quick side note: Before getting a final, retail G7, LG gave us a pre-production device to play with, running pre-release software. This preview device had pretty bad battery life, and I didn"t expect a huge difference in the retail version. But I was wrong. The production G7 manages fantastic longevity from a relatively small battery. I"d regularly get around 17-18 hours per charge, with 4.5-5 hours of screen-on time. That"s more than I reliably get from the Galaxy S9+, and not far off the Pixel 2 XL.

Plus you get Quick Charge 4 support -- though the bundled plug only does Quick Charge 3. For easier opportunistic top-ups, LG, finally, includes Qi wireless charging in all G7 models. Bottom line between the pretty strong battery life and plentiful refill options, is that"ve never had to worry about battery life on this phone. This is with normal use involving music streaming and photography, not babying the phone.

Many high-end phones boast powerful speakers, but the G7 far exceeds the baseline, bringing features that"ll please audiophiles -- as well as the rest of us, who just want our their music to sound great, and our podcasts loud and clear. In short, the G7 is the most audio-centric Android flagship I"ve used. The fact that there"s still a headphone jack at all is noteworthy, but LG also includes its Quad DAC, which we"ve seen in a few generations of LG phones now, to put more power behind the headphone port.This is the best speaker setup in any smartphone.

What"s new this time around is that same engineering attention has been given to the G7"s built-in speaker system. The new boombox setup is the loudest and best-sounding smartphone speaker I"ve used, with sound that"s full and bassy and not just loud and scratchy like most phones. The magic behind the G7 speaker"s legendary audio is that it uses the entire body of the phone has a speaker chamber. At higher volume levels you can really feel the glass back vibrating, which in turn lets you amplify the audio even further if it"s sat on any other acoustic structure, like a guitar or a wooden box.

For wired audio, the Quad DAC hasn"t changed since we last saw it in the V30, but it"s worth revisiting briefly. In short, the DAC provides a stronger signal to any headphone or speaker system that"s plugged into the phone. Combined with a good set of studio headphones, or even the pretty great set of earbuds LG includes in the box, it"s the sort of thing that can ruin you for music on most other phones.

The rest of LG"s software hasn"t been radically changed in this iteration. It looks a little different to the company"s 2017 loadout, but if you were hoping for the LG UI to be overhauled, then you"ll be disappointed. Mainly we"re looking at visual tweaks to make the icons more uniform, as well as some new widgets that look a bit like what you"ll find on a Samsung phone.

I"m more concerned about a few smaller usability issues I"ve run into. With a phone this tall, reaching the top to pull down the notification shade can be tricky. Yet the very common swipe-down gesture on the fingerprint scanner, used by many other Android phones, isn"t supported. At the same time, LG"s mini view one-handed mode is unreliable and clunky, with the swipe gesture sometimes failing to register.Aside from AI CAM, the G7"s artificial intelligence tricks are dull and forgettable.

Because this is a ThinQ phone, LG has gone to great lengths to build out AI features in the software. Plus you"ve got the Smart ThinQ app preloaded for any other LG ThinQ appliances you might own. But outside of the camera, most of the AI stuff is half-baked and uninteresting. The "Smart Bulletin" area to the left of the main home panel is mostly useless, and simple re-frames automation features many of which have been been around the LG G3 in 2014. The things it suggests are rarely useful, and fail to justify its occupation of this premium piece of smartphone real estate.

A single tap launches Assistant, or you can hold it down for a walkie-talkie mode. And double-tap launches you into Google Lens. Unfortunately, though, Lens is often slower to launch and more buggy on the G7 than it is on the Pixel 2 XL, despite the faster processor. I"ve had several instances of Lens either getting bogged down while loading, or loading and failing to activate the camera properly.

The camera setup of the LG G7 is an odd half-step upgrade from last year"s V30 cameras. The front camera and wide-angle cameras have both gotten much-needed upgrades, and that"s great. The main camera has not, and that"s a big competitive disadvantage for this phone.

Wide camera remains one of the most enjoyable things about using an LG phone, letting you capture dramatic looking scenes that aren"t quite like any other smartphone photo. At the same time, I appreciate the much-improved selfie camera of the G7, now an 8-megapixel unit. (Though let"s be honest, it wouldn"t be hard to raise the bar from the dismal 5MP shooter of the V30.)

On the other hand, the main camera clearly hasn"t kept pace with the competition. It"s not a bad camera, just a decidedly mediocre one, considering this is a $750 phone. Even with the faster Snapdragon 845 processor, the main shooter can"t compete with the likes of the Galaxy S9, Huawei P20 or Pixel 2. Dynamic range isn"t as good as these phones, nor is low-light photography, even with LG"s new Super Bright Mode.

Super Bright Mode, first seen in the V30 S, uses pixel binning to get a brighter 4-megapixel image out of the 16-megapixel sensor. It"s the same technique used to awesome effect in the Huawei P20 Pro, but the difference is Huawei uses a 40MP sensor LG"s 16MP doesn"t have the resolution to make this work well. The result, often, is a lower-res image that looks OK on a phone screen, but gross and blotchy once you zoom in.

The G7 inherits the V30 S"s AI shooting modes, which I"ve enjoyed more through playing with the neat little word cloud that pops up in use than through the photos it takes. I assume LG"s AI is doing something to tune photos according to where I am and what I"m shooting. But more often than not, pics taken in AI CAM mode just look different, and not necessarily better. Plus, scrolling through the many AI-inspired filters that are offered in AI CAM can be confusing and time-consuming.

To top it off, LG"s app is also slow switching between the wide camera and the main camera, and the app itself isn"t as intuitively designed as rivals, with core features like Pro mode and HDR hidden behind unnecessary layers of menus.

LG has a lot of great camera features here, but I think they need beefier camera hardware to come into their own. I"d like to see what Super Bright Mode could do with a bigger sensor. And I"d love to be able to use the wide-angle camera without being disappointed when I take a low-light shot with the main shooter.

And that leaves us with the question of who should buy a G7 today. This is not really a phone for enthusiasts. At $750 US, this is not a phone that you should pay full retail price for. Instead, the G7 makes most sense as an on-contract buy for someone who just wants a decent, small-ish phone with an emphasis on audio, and some neat camera features to play around with.

I"ve enjoyed using the G7 and I"m glad LG didn"t just cancel it, as was rumored back in January. But personally, I"m willing to wait and see what LG"s cooking up for the fall. Maybe the V40 will excite me in ways that the G7 just doesn"t quite manage.

I can now buy a reasonably fast 128 GB micro-SD card from Sandisk for less than $35, and I"m talking about the retail price for a single card. I"m sure if I was and LG buyer, and I was ordering thousands of memory chips at a time, I could get them for under $20 each. Isn"t it a bit pathetic that this expensive camera phone comes with only that much storage? 128 GB of storage is very little! What"s wrong with these phone manufacturers? Why can"t they include 500 GB of storage in a phone that costs over $200 and 250 GB in phones that cost under $200? It"s not like flash memory storage costs that much money anymore!

The screen should be RGBW... and from what I have read, it is easier on battery than standard IPS or even OLED when bright scene/image is on screen (which would be the case with many daytime photos). Also - not sure if it is because of RGBW, or different reasons - screen is hitting 1000 NIT and looks fine even under sunlight.

That said - I have also read that default screen calibration is far from perfect but, I must say, I cannot notice that while using the phone... and since I"m not editing photos on the phone, it doesn"t worry me much. I keep screen "temperature" on auto, and brightness as well.

That site has the worst search function haha - just doesn"t find it"s review of the G7 ThinQ. I also didn"t find anything anything about RAW in their review.

Its really strange the image quality on the LG G7 is so bad compared to previous G and V series, I´v had the LG G4, G5, G6 and V30, all of them much better than the G7. Whats most strange is it shares the same sensor and hardware as the much better LG V30 although I"m not sure the lens is the same (V30 is glass, don"t know about the G7)

I did a mistake buying the LG G7 before professional reviews commented about the image quality, in fact there are only 3 sites (preview, dxomark and gsmarena) that do good reviews, other reviewers don"t post full size images and I"m not even sure if they themselves check the images at full size before commenting on the image quality.

Soon LG will release their V40, claimed to be 20MP on main camera, I really hope this time they put more serious attention to the camera. They need to improve both hardware and software.

Exactly G4 and V10 were last phones where obssessive NR and watercoloring did not occur. From G5 on - I am just wondering - whom they want to appeal? I do not think phone is the right device for pixel peeping but this level of IQ?? Come on LG wake-up.

This was a great phone deal last month when it was out for pre-order and LG was offering a 43" 2018 4K TV for free just for preordering. It"s my new monitor for photo editing. Lol

You install the GCAM port and you get almost a Pixel phone with an extra wide angle lens. It solves the aggressive noise reduction algorithm and adds HDR+.

Wow, just installed Google Camera ported (just download the apk file, no special knowledge needed) and results look really excellent on LG G5. A real opportunity for DPreview to add some new and uniquely detailed content on this mod. Looking forward to getting home from holiday to view on a monitor, print some 8 by 10s and see how close it is at that size to APSC and full frame. Not indistinguishable I"m sure but I"m thinking it will be impressive.

How this thing smears is shocking, I didn"t realize LG"s flagship is this bad, clearly the worst of the bunch. What is this, 1/3 the Pixel"s effective resolution base ISO? Why not limit output to 4MP or something instead of embarrassing themselves with more pixels of useless smearing if it can"t be examined magnified anyway.

I just like how lg"s operate, double tap, menus, i rarely take pics on my phone so ultimate quality doesn"t matter, phones always in a bumper case so style doesn"t matter too much, audio is possibly the best which i like, sd card is a huge plus, i"m about to change my g3 for a g6 as the price now is too good to miss,

Well the actual reason for me to get this one was its audio capabilites with its quad-dac chip. No other phone come closer to this, other than LG"s own V300.

Life"s Good was coined later as a catchy slogan, but the fact is that the companies Goldstar and Lucky merged to form LG. I still have an old Goldstar screen somewhere, was very good quality.

Camera phones are progressing faster by including combinations of photographic goodness. This is not an example though as LG just tacked on SOME and as another odd selling POINT. Let"s hope better combos become the norm and no longer the exception. I"m not talking about bridge cams. Never buy your system just to move to another.

does that also include DNG raw images? I assume this phone is like the other LG"s that offer DNG raw as an output option and not just JPEG, even though the review I don"t think mentioned that.

I understood you the first time. I meant to clarify that the loss in detail is happening due to the NR algo with JPEGS. Of course the phone also shoots DNG out of the box :)

And I meant to add that the NR issue that destroys details, does not take place when you shoot JPEGs with GCAM instead of LG"s stock camera. I hope it"s clear now.

they are being punished for offering a full-featured phone with incredible specs DAC screen headphones glass body like the zte axon 7 which b&h was selling for 349 new .. not thinking too differently their phones had a complete feature set including headphone jack and sd support .... "bad phone maker".. that"s verboten in apple pie America ,ask the united fruit company if the military gets involved in trade .[central america ]....lol or oil [ middle east] or strategic metals [Afghanistan and about 3 covert operations in africa] or aluminum ore haiti] or another 45 or so "adventures "since 1946

OMG they rated the S9+ lower on stills quality than this crap, different people did the reviews and I don"t think they rate with the same standards. The samples are all completely different but I look at the water and the structures at base ISO for detail and the S9+ easily resolves twice the resolution of this crappy LG.
