To recap
In many ways the LG G7 is every bit the equal of its flagship rivals. There’s power, a solid build, waterproofing and a great display. What LG offers than few-to-no others do is a second wide-angle camera, but the battery is a more limited than its rivals. What it does have in its favour is a reasonable price.
