I woefully disregarded Anandtech's highly regraded reviews coz I am a LG fan. Below is a quote from their LG G7 review...
Anandtech: But the biggest disappointment from the G7 ended up being the camera. Even though the G7 employs the same main camera sensor as on the V30, with the same optics, the G7 consistently underperformed its sister flagship. I have no idea what happened here but the image processing on the G7 was just atrocious and absolutely not worthy of a flagship device. LG's heavy-handed and pointless usage of a harsh noise reduction filter which creates a water-colour effect essentially destroyed a large amount of detail in the vast majority of scenarios, defeating the purpose of having a 16MP sensor in the first place.

Yesterday bought a brand new LG V30+ from Flipkart (India) at just INR 11,700 ($156) without exchanging any old phone. Period.
Insane as it may sound this is a whupping 74% price drop from initial launch price of INR 45,000 ($600) in India. I already had the silver one last year @ INR 23,250 and now bought a new black one for my wife.
Flipkart provided this amazing offer to only their "Plus" members, that too for the first 3 hours of "Big Shopping Days" sale. The deal was just too hard to resist, hence bought it at a heartbeat.
Price was set to INR 13,000 ($174) for the 4/128 GB version in silver/ black colors only. After using credit cards, 10% flat discount was available bringing the price down to INR 11,700 ($156).
Delivery was fast too, the phone arriving today morning. Intially arrived with Android Oreo, upgraded to Android Pie. On the other hand, the LG G7+ (6/128 GB) was selling for INR 17,000 ($228) during that time. I have used both phones, and trust me in my user experience V30+ is the superior device. I sold my G7+ last year.
Pros of V30+
1) Way better OLED display
2) Bigger and wider display for better multimedia consumption
3) Better battery life
4) Better Quad DAC implementation, V series have the best audio quality over headphone jack.
5) Better camera
6) Currently cheaper than G7+ by INR 4,000 ($54)
Pros of LG G7+
1) Processor is one generation ahead, more powerful
2) Dual SIM VoLTE support, V30+ has single SIM VoLTE support
3) 2 GB more RAM than V30+
4) Will receive Android 10, V30+ limited to Android 9.
Personally after using both V30+ & G7+, I always tend to go for V30+ for gaming & multimedia consumption. It has a more wider display and hence the characters in the game becomes bigger, more prominent & immersive. The yesteryear's flagship Snapdragon 835 SoC in V30+ can still beat any mid-range processor be it Mediatek Helios G90T in Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro or Snapdragon 730G of Realme X2. The G7+ has the Snapdragon 845, but the display is too thin to my liking and hence experience is not so good in gaming. Also GSMArena gives V30+ a 93 hours battery endurance rating whereas the G7+ can only reach 77 hours.
Android 10's most favorite feature, the system wide dark mode also be easily enabled on V30+ system settings, making the V30+ a easy choice for me.

Using it for a little bit over a year now. Phone is great for the proce. Camera is not the best but still decent. Front cam is meh. Screen is a little bit too big for me, but at least I'm able to hold it in my hands unlike the G4 (which was a little bit too wide). Front camera is only 8 mp and litterally no upgrade comparing to my G4, but it is still usuable and sharp enough.
My screen resolution is now 1080p instead of 1440p (changed it in the settings. I litteraly saw no difference unless it was 5 cm from my face) and SOT is between 6 and 8 hours. Can use it for 1-2 days. Not bad for only 3000maj
Updates are a little bit slow, but the same as my Samsung galaxy tab S5e (so don't blame LG for slow updates). Both are running android 9, januari patch, and recieving android 10 in Q3 so shut up about only LG being bad

LG G7 ThinQ is absolutely flagship killer. I'll call it hidden gem. But not best. Any phone is the best at that time. And this phone is the best at that time.

Suddenly after opening an application video ads come over the screen other than this it is an excellent device.It might not be as large as other flagships like one plus and samsung Galaxy but it is no way less than them in terms of camera,performance,sound quality and better in screen pixel density.Its battery is 3000 mah but it runs a full day like 4000mah if games are uninstalled

You might want to create the folder location manually if lgup don't detect. That's what happens to me for 2 hours finding the solution.
