3 days of useing this phone
When I first got it I was happy cause I did alot of research about the phone. So when i got it popped up with att so I was like huh so I put in my t mobile sim card and it worked. It was running a little slow at first but it running fine after 3 days. Idk when. Am going to get the Android 10 update yet but it's running Android 9 right now. So it's unlocked but with at&t crap poping up. Oh and there is some bootlware from at&t so just disable it your be fine. With your old phone just use LG switch. So what that does it will copy EVERYTHING from you old phone it might take time it all depends on what you have on it. The camera is SO BEAUTIFUL is up there with the iPhone 10s max. The box don't come with a fast charger so go buy a 25 watt charger cause the battery is a lil big. Other then that nothing else.

I purchased this phone in 2020 and it's still performing well. It's been a little over 3 years and I'm surprised the battery hasn't noticeably degraded. The model is getting old, but still has decent specs when compared to some new retail phones in a similar price range. The battery life is partly due to using only quality charging devices and cords. My usage is moderate to high. Screen, camera, print reader are all still looking nice and functioning well. 5 stars for the value.

 Got the LG G8 6 hours ago.. February 8th. I received T-mobile Unlocked cell phone. I didn't have to unlock it. In the android settings it showed unlocked. Im using Mint mobile which is one of T-mobiles MVNO's. Phone works fine with it. Better condition that what i thought i would get. I took some high resolution pics using my LG V20,. I didn't even see the scratches on the back, the Photos make them stand out. My Screen is perfect except for some some lint showing in the video.
The phone came with android 10. Using WIFI before i put the sim card in, it allowed me to update to android 11. Took 4% battery life for the update. My phone shipped from amazon. I shouldve got this phone months ago instead of thinking it over so long.

First off, register your phone at LGpromise.com for the 2 year warranty. It is accepted when purchased from here. Just send a copy of your invoice when you sign in on your browser and save as a PDF. I sent a screenshot from the app and that wasn't sufficient. Do so before April 2021.

Great price on a flagship phone from 2019.
I needed an upgrade and didn't like anything available with my carrier.

The phone was activated on Metro by T-Mobile. The WiFi Calling and VoLTE features work.

Arrived in near mint condition. There were fairly visible scratches on the side of the screen. Added a screen protector and they're no longer visible. The back Glass looks flawless. I'm contemplating adding a ceramic coating to prevent new scratches.

The 3500maH battery is ok. It's definitely a lot better than any phone with a lower capacity. I was able to get 7-8 hrs of screen on time and 27hrs of use in total. From what I've read this is normal and considered good. For me it's ok, but I'm used to having my Moto G7 Power with a 5000maH battery. That can last 3 days, but that's due to less RAM and a 720p IPS display.

Overall there are so many features to list. Many great reviews on YouTube.

Pros:

6.1" QUAD OLED 1440p display
QUAD DAC 3.5mm Headphone Jack
6GB of RAM
128GB (105 available) of storage plus 2TB expandable storage support.
Android 10
Rear Fingerprint Sensor
Fast Face Unlock
Camera features
21W QC 3.0/4.0 PD support
Wireless Charging Support
Gorilla Glass 5/6

Cons:
3500maH Battery

Charging this phone is really good and supports 21w charging and wireless charging at 10w. So you have options to keep it powered on.

Color: Aurora BlackVerified Purchase
I feel that people tend to look at negative reviews more often than they do at positive ones, hence my 1-star rating. However, the phone itself is amazing and I dare you to find a better one in this price range. First of all, I'd like to give props to the seller that goes by the name of "bayshine Trading". After the first snafu when I was sent the wrong version of the phone by another seller (more on that later), I contacted "bayshine Trading" to make sure I'll be getting the right one second time around. Not even 10 minutes later I received a reply confirming that the phone is indeed T-Mobile version; I clicked Buy; and 2 days later had it in my possession (I received it much sooner than expected even though it wasn't a Prime purchase). So as I said earlier, the phone is great. The screen is beautiful, and the camera is amazing. It's very responsive, and one of the selling points for me was the 3.5mm headphone jack and radio! Now that I got all of that out of the way, my first experience wasn't as good/smooth. Even though the description clearly says "T-Mobile", I was sent an AT&T model instead (by "Deals Always"). At first I thought to myself that it's not a big deal since the phone is unlocked and will work with any GSM carrier. Well, there are a couple of problems with that. First of all, the Wi-Fi Calling feature will not work. It's disabled, and there's nothing you can do to enable it. Secondly, as another reviewer also mentioned one of the extended LTE bands that is covered by T-Mobile is not supported by AT&T. Both shortcomings were not very important to me though. In 20+ years, I probably used Wi-Fi calling only once. And in the area where I live, we have a very good coverage so a missing band wouldn't be a problem for me. However, the biggest drawback of having an AT&T model on T-Mobile network is that you will NOT get any Android updates including security patches. So I contacted "Deals Always" to see how we can resolve this, and got no response after leaving them two voicemails, as well as sending them a very detailed email. Nothing, nada, crickets... so there you have it. In summary, fantastic phone but make sure you contact the seller ahead of making the purchase. Avoid "Deals Always" at all costs but I'll be definitely recommending "bayshine Trading" to others.

Su conexión a wi-fi es muy buena.
El equipo lo recibi en muy buenas condiciones, en realidad ni se nota que es usado.
Me hubiera gustado que se incluyera sus accesorios originales, pero por el precio es mas que suficiente con los accesorios genericos que envian.

Este teléfono lo compré para mí papá pero me lo quedé yo ya que estaba muy chico para él (ya tiene 60 años). Vengo de un Realme 7 que es un mejor celular pero la verdad no he notado diferencia. Lo único negativo es que la pila dura menos de 1 día y hay que estarlo cargando. Además que viene con un cargador generico, tuve que pedir un cargador original por ML y de momento todo bien.

Recomiendo comprar este teléfono si no tienes mucho dinero y quieres un equipo que te dure por lo menos lo que resta de este 2022. Después de ahí, desconozco si valga la pena.
