LG G7 ThinQ 6.1in LM-G710TM TMobile 64GB Android Smartphone (Renewed) (Platinum Gray)

Extreme Value, Platinum Gray Phone
I had a Samsung S7 Edge that had been a great phone, but the battery was not holding a charge more than 5-6 hours. I investigated online and to replace the battery with one that was the same quality as the OEM item, I would have to pay $90. Or I could use the $90 toward a different phone.I had been looking at reviews of the idea of purchasing what was a flagship phone just 1-2 years ago, but now recently severely discounted or refurbished/renewed. I have been hesitant to purchase renewed products like this, but my employer has purchased tablets, monitors, and video cameras like this and has never needed to return anything. I became sick with a longterm illness recently and I did not like the idea of missing medically related calls due to poor battery life, but did not want to buy a $650-800 phone right now. I decided this LG G7 ThinQ would be a stop-gap item for now and I would purchase something better in a few months. And if I had a problem, it was going back in 72 hours.I have changed my plans, I will not be considering another phone for at least a couple years when I want a 5G phone.The phone I received is in incredible shape. It looked like somebody might have kept it in their front pocket without a case for a couple weeks, and nothing more. I had to use the magnifying glass app from the old phone to see any marks on the metal banding, zero faults on both glass sides. The S7 Edge and this phone are almost identical in dimensions when you lay them on each other, but this one has a better display and the display has more real estate.LG allowed 99% of what was on the other phone to come over configured correctly. The phone kept asking to do app and security updates. In all there were 5-6 updates necessary to bring the phone up to speed. One of those updates included Android 9.0, and brought the phone current with the Dec. 1 2019 security patch. After one was done, it was not immediately apparent that there would be additional updates waiting. Just know that if you are a quarter of a year or more behind, be sure to check ten minutes after the last update for your phone to see if it offers another.Checking with the Antutu app found no dead pixels and the battery capable of holding 92% of its original charge (2796 mAh vs 3000 mAh new). I have no problem getting a full day of work out of the phone, but do charge it when on the road. Mentioning driving, the Google Assistant summoning button is fast and what I use to start navigation while I hook up and mount the phone. I like this feature a lot. This phone is very loud and I prefer this to having stereo speakers that don’t have good volume and presence. The camera and all other features keep surprising me (in good ways) as I have gotten around to trying them out.My wife is surprised I settled on “an old used phone,” but this one looks great and is a good performer. The mismatched charger and cable are fine and work fast. I am using previously owned fast chargers at home and in my car with the USB cord I purchased along with the phone. I have the other set in my travel bag as spares. This was a great purchase.I have chosen the heavier Spigen case that still has a kickstand for protection.

Love it
Great phone but the volume is low an the battery die quickly

Excelente equipo, prácticamente nuevo solo un ligerísimo rayón en la parte trasera, funciona a la perfeccion.Mi primer equipo renewed y me sorprendió gratamente. Muy bien embalado, cargador quick charge de Samsung y cable generico.

Lo compré con la tienda INNOVA LOHER y llegó en una linda caja de cartón que incluía cargador Samsung con QC 2.0 su cable usb-C y obviamente el G7, mi versión tiene una rom de Android 8 limpia que al parecer es la que usa Sprint, no se puede actualizar a Android 10 vía OTA, pero se puede flasher la rom actualizada.Lo he usado con unefon y Telcel, en Telcel hasta el momento no me funcionan los datos pero sí tengo señal para hacer y recibir llamadas, todo lo demás del sistema sin problemas.El teléfono físicamente tiene una estética 9.5 de 10, la pantalla presenta unos pequeños rayones que no se ven a menos que los estés buscando con la pantalla apagada y a contra luz, en los marcos de metal igual solo unos pequeños rayones, nada grave ni que afecte su hermoso diseño. El ponerle un protector a este teléfono es obligado pues es muy resbaloso al tacto y así evitar daños en este bello terminal.Para concluir una excelente relación calidad/precio, el teléfono funciona de maravilla, muy fluido y sin problemas de rendimiento, lo único que tal vez les presente una dificultad es la batería “pequeña” de 3000 mha, la cual puede parecer poco pero es de muy buena calidad y da unas 6 horas de pantalla en función del uso.Lo volvería a comprar sin duda.ACTUALIZACIÓN:He iniciado el proceso de devolución debido a qué cómo ya mencioné, no tengo datos con Telcel y además el sistema operativo (Android8) ha tenido fallas en el cierre constante de varias aplicaciones (App de varios bancos, algunos juegos y otras) debido a esto me veo en la necesidad de devolverlo.

El cargador que viene incluido es inservible, la batería no le dura nada y tarda mucho.Justo unos días antes de terminar el periodo de devolución se comenzó a despegar la tapa de atrás. Traté de devolverlo pero estaba de viaje y solo tenía el celular. (mala suerte)En mi xp no volvería a comprar.
