Yes, that would be nice. I've had the device for over a year and it is one of the best phones I've had. It would be great to have an updated version in the same form factor.

Anyone else having problems with V 40 Thin Q and their ability to use the phone with hands free capability of their car? I have a Hyundai Palisade and I cannot get phone to allow me to use hands free voice commands. I am running Android Auto and my cable is connected.
Very frustrating.
LG says its a known defect but can't tell me when or if a fix is coming.

Just chill Bro and enjoy your V40 .

I am a power user and V30 barely lasts me a day. So you can imagine it will be impossible for me to live with V40 without charging twice a day. Charging twice a day is not an option for ME and ANY phone which cannot last ME a day for my usage pattern has poor battery backup in my eyes.
Others may vary.

As an owner of v30 and v40... i can comfirm that the battery life is good on v40 but not as great as the v30... For moderate use it will last a full day.. With 5. 5 - 6hrs sot.. Of course it will not go as high as 9 - 10hrs sot but v40 is good enough for phone with less battery capacity..
And yes, update with full system dark mode really improved the battery performance.. Lg really done a good job with this.

AB, 14 Apr 2020Is there any gcam support for V40??Yes.. You can search and try gcam that support all three camera, normal, wide, telephoto.. & the color will be consistent across all lens.. Better than stock camera app.

At least after your miraculous claim of 20% minimum battery backup improvement on a single software update provided recently. That too after 1.5 years of launching the phone. Maybe they were grazing grass in the meantime. LG is now eradicating hardware issues with software updates.
Apple & Samsung should learn this magic from LG.

RishiGuru, 13 Apr 2020You are absolutely right. But then again, the battery backu... moreThere is a clear difference between the term "Flaw" and "Poor battery backup" .
It is just a matter of slight lesser Battery mAh capacity. That's it. You cannot expect Ford Mustang to cover 400 miles with just 30 Litre fuel tank capacity. You will need to refill the tank to cover long distance.
So if one or two renowned reviewer generalizes by saying Ford Mustang has a flaw, it doesn't make any sense. It will still be a special and successful in its own ways. So the Term 'hardware and firmware' flaw used by AnandTech is not supported by any other thesis other than slight lesser battery backup concern. LG V40 should have at least had 4000 mAh capacity instead of 3300 mAh. At least people are happy that LG phones have not exploded till date due to faulty firmware and hardware batteries causing injuries like other brands such as Oneplus, Samsung and other cheap chinese craps. Renowned test labs like AnandTech should be able to spot and identify on those Flaws/ defects instead of just terming the phone as flaw just due to slight less battery backup.

But then again, the battery backup issue is not only highlighted by only AnandTech but by most other renowned tech review websites as well, including GSMArena. AnandTech have the technical expertise to dig deeper and provided the cause. And I have seen many long term reviews which tells no improvement in battery backup.
Their is no hiding of the fact that V40 has poor battery backup, and your claim 20% battery backup improvement over a single software update make me scratch my head. In the end if you are happy with the V40, it just makes me happy too. Maybe an year down the line I will have a go for V40 at $120 or such.

RishiGuru, 13 Apr 2020I respect your opinion, but pardon me I cannot rule out wha... moreAbsolutely no issues with your opinion. But i am only finding it funny that you are claiming that AnandTech is like God and he cannot make any mistake. After all he too is just one individual or just one tech review firm who would have spent limited time with the device for just testing purpose and there would be too many variable parameters in such short span to determine the outcome. If there was a hardware or firmware flaw in LG V40 as AnandTech had quoted, i don't think it would have been bought by so many customers even today with such a positive ratings across the world. The hardware or firmware issues would have definitely been highlighted by many sources if it was true. You will have to have a broader approach and holistic perspective. Just blindly following a single reviewer's findings will not buy credibility. And the worst part is that you have not even experienced LG V40 device to comment about it :)

They reviewed both the pre-prod & final units and then only provided their review. People down there are deep divers and understand phone in the micro-architecture levels.
Their editorial reviews are so powerful, they force manufacturers to think and make changes.

Out of three which you have mentioned, Only LG V40 will be receiving official Android 10 in few months time. The recent updates have made this phone even greater.

Anand tech had said, maybe he tested either a faulty device or with pre release software. Majority of the users around the world are happy with LG V40. So no one is bothered to know who is Anand tech or what he said.
I still used to get 4.5 hrs of screen time consistently even before. It's just that the battery drain in idle state has stopped completely after the recent update.
