The new LG G8 ThinQ smartphone boasts exceptional fidelity and fine-tuned audio quality. A stereo musical image is delivered from balanced drive units working in harmony to produce a realistic sound stage, positioning vocals from a central image. Improvements to bass timing and alignment ensure maximum, undistorted audio performance and the overall spatial balance is improved to create a crisp, clear sound reproduction. The smartphone’s precise and detailed tuning removes any unwanted distortion, resulting in realistic vocals for a natural and engaging sound experience that feels more like the original recording.
“This is the next exciting phase of our ‘Audio Tuned with Meridian’ partnership with LG, following our collaboration on the innovative LG V40 ThinQ smartphone last year” comments John Buchanan, Meridian’s Chief Executive Officer. “Meridian delivers experiences that go beyond the ordinary and working together with LG to develop these new smartphone models for 2019 allows us to expand our offering and make the Meridian experience more accessible for people to enjoy, no matter where they are.”
The LG G8 ThinQ smartphone features Crystal Sound OLED (CSO), an innovative technology that utilises the phone’s OLED display as an audio amplifier. CSO also improves clarity, making voices easier to discern and subtle musical notes more noticeable.
The LG G8 ThinQ also comes complete with DTS:X 3D Surround Sound that emulates a 7.1-channel system with or without earphones, Hi-Fi Quad DAC that elevates the listening experience by reproducing sound with exceptional fidelity and the added ability to up-sample most audio files for increased clarity and depth, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) that supports high-quality audio streaming even without an unlimited data plan, and a Boombox Speaker that takes advantage of the internal space of the phone as a resonance chamber to generate powerful bass and more volume.

SABRE® and QUAD DAC TM Technology from ESS Enables High Audio Quality in the Latest LG G8 Phone
The G8 ThinQ Continues LG’s Commitment to Innovative Audio Features and Market-Leading Sound Quality Based on SABRE®and QUAD DAC™ Technology from ESS
Milpitas, California - ESS Technology, the industry leader in HiFi audio and analog design, announced today that its audio System-on-Chip (SoC), The ES9218P, powers the latest G8 ThinQ smartphone by LG.
The new G8 ThinQ from LG delivers audiophile sound-quality delivered by ESS Technology’s ES9218P. The ES9218P is a System-on-Chip that offers impressive sound quality to mobile devices, designed to meet the demanding needs of mobile applications. The ES9218P is built around the legendary ESS SABRE® DAC. The technology provides amazing sound quality with a stable image and immersive sound-stage. The ultra-low noise QUAD DAC Technology reduces background hiss without consuming significant power from the battery.
The ES9218P has a unique high-power headphone driver that allows the G8 ThinQ to deliver up to 2vrms output power, enough to support the most demanding of headphones. This gives the G8 significant headroom compared to other phones which deliver less than half the voltage. The extra power eliminates the need for accessory devices that are bulky and expensive.
“ESS is pleased to be working with and enabling LG, the market leader in providing high audio quality phones. The G8 ThinQ sets the new phone audio standard by combining ESS audio chip technology with other audiophile features like MQA, Boombox speakers, audio tuning by Meridian, and the new Speaker Screen technology” said Robert Wong, VP of Sales and Marketing for ESS Technology.
