Hey everybody, this is my first time posting on here and it is due to the fact of my ukulele. this is my first ukulele and im not sure if im having a common problem or something that really needs to be taken care of. the G-chord/string(closest to you when playing) sounds really off. i used a chromatic tuner(as shown in the pictures, along with the ukulele). the tuner says it is fine, but when i play it, it sounds off, it has more of a low tune, along with not being as firm as the other strings. i tried tuning it tighter to a higher G(i think), but it still sounds off. that is the only chord that is giving me problems, and the rest sounds fine. could it be that my strings are new and they need some time to stretch? if so do you have recremendations on a string upgrade. thanks a lot for the help
this is the ukulele i purchased earlier today from guitar center

edit: im also planning to do a string upgrade and i need a little advice. are aquila's a good brand for this uke, and what is the difference between all plain strings, and low g strings. do you prefer nylon?
