          AnonD-653707, 10 Sep 2017What about the 360 Camera?The 360 camera is neat, when you take a picture with it, it takes a 360 degree image, when you check out the picture in your gallery it hovers around the entire image.

                        better cover it with Pure metal with 10mm thick

                                      Im in love with lg v30. Bring camera review of the essential and maybe(maybe) I will re-think my choice. It must perform better than s8 and lg u11 to make me re-think over the brilliant v30

                                        For the updates, okay it's better at least. And for the price of about €580, it's quite debatable, considering the competition of quite similar prices (more or less). Such as the Nokia 8, maybe OP5 and maybe the G6 as well, etc. Apart some considerable critics too.
