LG G8 is a game change
The LG G8 is a game changer of sorts because it features gesture controls that let you control the phone without touching it. More impressive is the integration of a speaker driver into the screen making the entire screen a speaker.

The screen supports HDR 10 so that means you can get dynamic colors on supported content with apps like Netflix and YouTube that support HDR. The power button is on
the right side. There is also a google assistant and volume rocker on the left side of the phone.
