[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.

Prasad, 28 Mar 2020Great Phone. If you guys are still on the edge deciding whe... more100% agree with you dude...... 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 ....

Great Phone. If you guys are still on the edge deciding whether to buy it or not, go ahead and buy the beast confidently before the stocks diminish across regions. Other than slight battery backup concern, there is not a single flaw in the phone. I still manage to get 4.5hrs of screen on time which is not bad. Maybe other flagship could give you up to 6 hrs of screen on time for additional 300-400 dollars. So you will have to think wisely if that additional 1.5 hrs of screen on time is going to save your life...… :)
If there is any phone which can save lot of dollars and still can get you every other flagship feature, LG V40 is the only one right now. You can never go wrong with this.

Upgraded from the v30 which I used for about 1.5 years. I'm pretty hard on my phones so when my screen started to flicker I upgraded. Loved the v30.
Been using the lg v40 for 3 months and I love it. Battery life is a little lower then the v30 but still very sufficient for me.
Phone use consists of Gmail, Instagram, you tube etc super snappy all round except Facebook app has a big of lag scrolling.
The phone is built damn tough. I essentially threw it across the room, bouncing off the tile floor and hitting the wall. The phone is unscathed! I've dropped it maybe 3 times now with no case and only a ding or two around the edges. Front screen has one small scratch from one fall.
Camera is good for what it is, no slr but it works. Screen is beauty for viewing any type of content. I dig the notch.
Got it for $350 in Canada, new off eBay, great deal compared to a modern top tier phone.

DudePerfect18, 13 Feb 2020I have had my V40 for a while now and it runs supe smooth e... moreBattery life is the biggest alarming issue with LG V40. Even now if the phone is available for meager $100 brand new, I will think twice. An year before I read an article from highly regarded, revered & technically indepth Anandtech website which states:
LG in 2018's - The Biggest Disappointment
If I were to name one device in 2018 as the biggest disappointment, then it's the LG G7. This was meant to be a major jump for the company and present itself as the alternative to Samsung's Galaxy S9 this year. Unfortunately I do not know what happened within the company this year, as the end products this year's phones just had notable deal-breaking flaws.
On the camera side, the G7 was a straight downgrade from last year's LG V30. For whatever inexplicable reason, LG's image processing this year was just terrible, with washed out or unnatural colours and blurred out details. I have given the company the benefit of the doubt as this could be fixed via software, but even 5 months after release with the latest firmware, the situation hasn't improved. The LG V40 is slightly better, but also showcases the same blurred out detail issues.
What has been of particular issue this year has been LG's own display panels: The G7's screen was promised to be very efficient, and this this true at high brightness levels, it came with a very high base power consumption that largely negated this benefit in daily scenarios.
The LG V40 is even worse in this regard - sporting one of the highest base power consumption levels I have seen in a smartphone over the last 5 or so years. The end result is that the V40 ends up among one of the worst battery life performances this year.
Here I think there's something that's fundamentally broken on the hardware side, and for some reason this display panel flaw seems to have permeated (To a lesser severity) to other vendor's devices which use LG screens, most notably the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the small Pixel 3.
Both the G7 and V40 are devices which should not have been released in their respective states, and the fact that they were points out to QA issues at LG's hardware teams.

iabhi, 19 Mar 2020How LG V30 is a mess? It is a very good device.Probably the person have never used a LG V30, hence unaware of the abilities of V30. Other than the ugly fat notched display of V40, it improved over V30 in almost all aspects barring the most important feature of any smartphone, the battery life.
GSMArena gives V30 a respectable 93 hours battery endurance rating whereas the V40 can reach only 64 hours. That is a alarmingly low number for V40 by today's standards where other similarly priced flagships like Asus 6/6z are able to provide twice the battery endurance at 112 hours.
A phone can have all the fire power but if it does have sufficient juice to run it, its of no use. This case applies for V40, which when new will somehow manage to take you through a day, but as the battery ages 2 years down the line battery capacity will reduce further requiring you you to charge twice daily.
LG have acknowledged the battery issue of G7 & V40 and hence all their new models comes with minimum 4000 mAh battery, with the latest V60 comes with a monstrous 5000 mAh battery.

Drees, 10 Mar 2020what version do i get from LGV40?Depends which network you're on.
Myself personally I picked the LG v40 qa7 unlocked.
That model should work on every Network.
other variants only work on certain networks you can find it on the specifications.
Just look up at the top part for the variants and what models work on which networks.
