- Analysis by KJ David
An offshoot of LG's 2018 G7 ThinQ flagship, the G7 Fit dials down some of its mother model's specs, although it's not a total disappointment, as far as this technical review of its pros and cons is concerned.
For starters, it comes with only 32GB of native memory 
, whereas the ThinQ edition boasts a 128GB maximum internal memory capacity. Fortunately for this Fit edition, though, it brings back the higher-specked variant's whopping 2TB microSD card support 
. Another questionable con on the hardware front is the G7 Fit's decision to opt out of the octa-core race and instead use a quad-core-only 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 processor , while reducing its ThinQ sibling's robust 6GB RAM to a less-ambitious 4GB .
Furthermore, its 3000mAh battery, which promises only up to 100 hours on standby and 4 hours (240 minutes) of continuous calling , sounds quite problematic, particularly relative to its flagship-caliber display.
Speaking of its display, the G7 Fit brushes shoulders with some of the best phablets featured here on Phonerated by touting a 6.1-inch interface with an expansive 19.5:9 aspect ratio, a 3120 x 1440 QHD+ resolution , and a 1000-nit maximum brightness level . It also boasts a VR-ready 564ppi pixel density count (Check out other VR-worthy phones here) and it supports HDR10 content.
The G7 Fit takes its name from its MIL-STD-810G certification , which essentially makes it fit for use under harsh environments, as well as its IP68 rugged certification for dust- and waterproofing. It also dons an impact-resistant Gorilla Glass 5 panel on either side of its aluminum frame .
As for imaging, the Fit possibly holds its own ground versus several closely-comparable flagships, offering a 16-megapixel camera with features like AI CAM, a 3840 x 2160 (4K) maximum video-recording resolution, and slow-motion video capture at 120fps. Its 8-megapixel front-facing camera does not sound as competitive, however.
All said, the LG G7 Fit is a toned-down version of the G7 ThinQ whose pros and cons include some downgraded hardware components countered by several key upgrades in terms of physical protection, obviously making it a fitting large-screen phone for the outdoorsy user.
On-paper Review score: 
The G7 Fit's 240 minutes of talk time are much lower than what you usually see.
It's disappointing that we could not find its weight information.

It carries the Miracast technology, a system that lets you share your display with a TV
Not only does it clock at 2.35GHz, it is even quad-core.
We're dealing with a hefty display here, making it a phablet: 6.1 inches and a resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels means about 14.18 square inches and an image quality of at least 564 dots per inch (DPI)!
The selfie cam resolution seems just about average.
