Every year since the vastly underrated LG G2 in 2013, I’ve been going through the same emotional cycle with LG flagship phones: anticipation in the buildup, excitement during the launch, and ultimate disappointment with the final product. This was the case with the LG G3, G4, G5, and G6 — but not the latest G7 ThinQ. After my first encounter with the LG G7, I’m already over it. This is the least inspiring, least daring G-series phone that LG has released in a long time, maybe ever.

A quick recap of the G7, for those who haven’t yet come across the comprehensive leaks or today’s announcement: it’s a 6.1-inch phone with a notch at the top of its LCD, powered by a Snapdragon 845 processor and a comparatively mean 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The G7 has a dual-camera system, like almost everyone else, it’s IP68 rated for water and dust resistance, like most rivals, and it supports wireless charging, like many, but not all. Other than a quad-DAC system for sensational headphone audio, there’s a serious dearth of reasons for you to care about or want the G7. And if you desire that great sound quality, you can already get it from last year’s G6 or LG’s superior V30 / V30S smartphone.
