I cannot remember a phone which I have used or seen in flesh that drains 20% battery lying idle overnight. According to you V40 does & and a very famous website "Anandtech" also quoted the same.
However Anandtech quoted it to be a hardware issue, hence it cannot be mitigated with a software update. I do not own a V40, so I cannot conform what miracle LG have done to cure a hardware issue with a software update. That too after 1.5 years of launching the phone.
If you words are true LG have performed a miracle indeed.

The battery drain during overnight in idle state is just 2% now. Earlier it used to be 15-20% . My V40 really rocks now :)

kamal, 11 Apr 2020we got the march2020 security update for LG v40 india :)Good to know LG V40 have received an update. LG's software updates are far and few between but at-least they are rigorously tested for quality assurance and simply works.
Not like my Nokia phones which receive updates each month and then phone improves in certain areas and loses in some.

The existing firmware on LG V40 was very un-optimized which resulted in huge battery drain and resulted in very poor battery backup. Suddenly after 1.5 years of releasing V40, LG realized this and relieved there V40 owners with a miraculous software update.
OR
The Wizard of Oz is currently using V40 and performed magic on this phone.

I just bought this phone for $121 used. I will be making a Youtube video on it soon and as a device that houses a Snapdragon 845 its a damn good deal.

[deleted post]Dear Prasad aka Veer9 aka User2016 aka Nexuslover aka whatever different names you use,
It is good to know you are so happy with your LG V40. Their is nothing wrong about that. Similarly their is nothing wrong as to why I would not consider the LG V40 as it does not suit my needs. Everybody have their freedom of speech.
Be happy with your LG V40.

My OnePlus 7pro used to give me screen on time of 6 hours when I bought it....but after many updates, it has dropped to shabby 4 hrs...
Whereas my LG V40 has always been consistently giving 4.5 to 5 hrs since 2 years with few software updates...
So i never had any issues in terms of battery with LG V40... Many new phones initially get attention for extended screen on time, but they soon get crappy over a period of time ..... But LG never messes up their phone with unnecessary updates... Genuinely worth buying even today..... They really last long ....my brother is still using LG v20 with zero issues.....whereas my sister changed almost three flagship Samsung phones since 2 years due to phone getting crappy after few updates..... She used to charge her Samsung note 10 for almost 3 times in a day.....

I am using LG v40 since 1 year and I also have OnePlus 7 pro as I m using 3 network connection due to business requirements..... I only find extra 45 min to 1 hr of screen on time difference in OnePlus 7pro.........which is practically useless when compared to the kind of qualitative output i get from LG V40 considering that I paid just half of what I paid for this OnePlus .... And also the software in LG does not have a single glitch or bug... They have also announced that its getting android 10 later this year..... And check the user reviews for LG V40 across websites around the globe.....more than 95% of the users are extremely happy with this unsung hero .... So this phone gives everything for around 300$ and still helps you to have some money in your wallet for other useful expenses as someone has rightly pointed out below.....and I always feel that I m using a big junk heavy weight when I carry OnePlus 7pro......LG V40 is premium and superlight despite being 6.4 inches edge to edge OLED display...

As I said prior I am a power user and I had awful experience regarding battery life with my LG G7. I had to switch back to V30+. GSMArena gives V30 a respectable 93 hours battery endurance rating whereas the V40 can reach only 64 hours. G7 also had better batter endurance than than V40, which makes this phone unfit for my daily use.
As I said before a phone can have all premium features at a very reasonable price, but if it doesn't last for a day it's of no use. This phone may be good for casual users.

Extra 1.5 hrs of screen on time has neither saved my life from any disaster nor has made me Bill Gates or Tim Cook... In fact I saved almost 400$ dollars by buying this sensible flagship LG v40 and used the same money on some productive purpose.....it's high time people think before throwing away hard earned money on things that really don't matter in your life.... Loved my LG V30 and now loving my LG V40 ....
