The LG G8.
- The LG G8 will be available to buy on April 11, and its most obvious competitors in 2019 are Samsung's Galaxy S10 phones.
- With that said, the only Samsung phone the LG G8 should really be compared with is the cheaper Galaxy S10e.
- If you can find it for the discounted $700 from certain carriers and stores, the LG G8 makes a decent proposition. Any higher than $700, however, and you should gravitate towards the Galaxy S10e.
At this stage in 2019, the most obvious smartphone to compare with the new LG G8 is Samsung's Galaxy S10 lineup.
Right off the bat, the first thing you should know about the LG G8 is that it competes with Samsung's cheaper, $750 Galaxy S10e rather than the higher-end $900 Galaxy S10 or $1,000 S10 Plus.

The LG G8 is another great choice in the sub-$800 range. That may come across as inaccurate, as the LG G8's price tag was initially announced at $820. But carriers and certain stores like Best Buy and B&H Photo are selling it for $700, and that's absolutely the price tag you should be looking for if you're considering the LG G8.
