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.

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.

I have had my V40 for a while now and it runs supe smooth even on games because if you go to the gaming settings in setting you can fix most problems. Also my one problem is battery life but other than that. The camera runs great and I have some great photos from this phone so I would recommend to most.

4amp battery, minimum, is needed for tier 1 smartphones. Give the phone what is needed to have many apps opened with gaming and still getting 12- 20 hrs of life! This is the size battery that's needed for these high end phablets

I have a sony xz2 which has the exact chipset as the v40 a snapdragon 845 with adreno 630. The xz2 is faster than the v40 because of the lower 1080X2160 screen resolution.
