The design: The design and the build quality is pretty awesome, looks great with all glass body. Feels very well in hand.
Network: There is no issue regarding network reception and call quality, can say is quite good.
Hardware management: The phone is turned well. No issue regarding the RAM management.
Software and UI: Two days back I got the Android Pie update, so LG is giving regular software updates. The UI has a different look and feel. It's not bad nighter it's very good, but there are plenty of options to tweek the phone, which is very very useful. I had no issue regarding software.
Screen quality: The screen quality is brilliant. The color reproduction is really very good. Video of highest quality plays well in the screen.
Sound quality: Wow! I brought this phone initially for it's audio specifications. The Boombox speaker, the 3.5 mm jack output, wireless output is too good. The DAC and DTSx plays an extremely good roll. The in box headphone may not look good, but the sound quality from it is very good. I have Senheiser CX275 and RHA MA390 headphone in my collection. The in box headphone produces better sound. I do listen to lots of music and videos.
Camera: I have a mixed experience with it's camera. I have recently bought an OnePlus 7. The camera of the OnePlus 7 is far better. Now in this phone the camera is not bad. The main camera is producing good images with great details. In manual mode many adjustment can be done while shooting. The videography is excellent too. Full manual videography can be done and the cine-mode works well too. Can't complain in videography department. Though the optical image stabilizer doesn't work well. Front facing camera is not very good, I didn't like. I like the fact that the ISO sensitivity has a very good range starting from 50-3200, and the main camera aperture has a value F1. 6, and also the wide-angle camera is nice to have. One more thing I noticed that the it is not pixcelarating while zooming in in shooting.
Battery life: Battery is the down side of this phone. Battery drains fast and have to put in power-saving mode. The fast charger is not very fast.
Gaming experience: I do not play games, but I am sure that all games will run in this device without any kind of lag or frame rate dropping. It has everything to run any game smoothly. Though little bit of heating issue is there, but minor.
So, overall a great product, and I got it in a very very good deal on Amazon sale. I want to thank Amazon for that.
I surely recommend this device if someone is looking for a well balanced-phone, with solid build and looks, wireless charging, awesome audio, great IPS panel etc etc. If your focus is only on camera you'll be little bit disappointed, then go for OnePlus. If you need everything in balance this is for you.

1. I was doubtful about the battery life but to my surprise it last for one whole day. I started the day (7am) with 95%. At 9pm I had 20%. Didnt charge in between. But had turned off Always on display. Location service was on. Either WiFi or mobile data was on through out the day. Had some 20 to 30 mins gaming. More than 2 hours of music with DTS and Hifi DAC turned on. About 40 mins of video call.
In average getting about 5 to 6 hous SOT.
2. Camera is awesome. But suffers a little in night shots under very low light scenarios. A decent front camera.
3. Very satisfied with performance thanks to SD 845.
4. High quality display with very good brightness and viewing angles.
5. Phenomenal sound quality both in headset and loud speakers. Boombox speaker is loud and clear without any distortion.
6. Got pie update. Phone runs very good with Pie. Not a big fan of LG UX. But still has many good features like smart briefing and in built apps are clean and smart.
