    This phone is goood! Pretty nice and sharp photos, use gcam if you wanna put a bit more of hdr, stock camera takes amazingly natural shots. Display is just plain perfect for 99% of the uses. About battery, I'm getting 5-6h screen on time (battery saver on), using a lot of whatsapp's video call, zero gaming, and a lot of youtube, even on 4G this kid gave me solid 5h screen on time. SuperB! headphones audio, impressive on pro monitor headphones. Even on Bluetooth it have aptX codec and very good latency. I wish this phone could have swappable battery, it's the perfect combo of price/performance.
    My only gripe with this phone is that I wish

      So I recently bought the Lg v40 thinq and here is what I can say about it;
      Performance wise it's way ahead of many similar priced mid range phones as it uses the Snapdragon 845 10nm chip which is currently the thirty third strongest chip in the tech world.
      The games run smoothly and it's very snappy especially once I've disabled the window, transition and animation scale in developer options, it's very responsive.
      The camera is okay although the front camera isn't that great in low lighting.
      The speaker is very loud and produces very high quality sound.
      The display is also very great plus the phone has a very premium feel even when you're using it people will be drawn to it's rich colour and premium look.
      The charging speed is abit slow as it fills up from 0% in around 80 minutes this is when the phone is powered off that's when it charges fast.
      The battery life is very much ok!When I'm online say from 7am in the morning at 100% I'll get the 15% notification at around 3pm after a long day of browsing and using social media non stop otherwise on moderate usage it goes through the day!The battery is small at 3300mAh but the Snapdragon 845 surely knows how to store power.You can improve your battery life drastically by just preventing apps from running in the background.
      It's a very awesome phone and so far so good I haven't had any issues only sometime back it wouldn't make phone calls so I had to format it but now it's good and greater than ever!

        There's a mistake, the 52mm telephoto camera does not have OIS. The lens doesn't move (only the main camera moves).

              Now that Sprint has merged into T-Mobile, and LG is no longer going to be in the Phone Business, I'm kind of screwed, because T-Mobile's SIM card requires a 5G Capable phone to function, and I now have to upgrade my phone to something else, because this phone will cease functioning by the end of the year. I've had this phone since they released it, and it has been one of the best phone's I've owned, and REALLY don't want to replace it... but now I guess I'm going to a OnePlus 9 Pro 5G, because I REFUSE to go to Apple or Samsung.

                Messi, 05 May 2021Wondering if someone can tell me how to make a Sprint brand... moreI've seen no one has commented on your question. If the phone is a carrier version of Sprint but you want to use it on T-Mobile it can be done. Anything's possible. I had a Verizon Moto Droid X2 and got it working on T-Mobile by using some 3rd party software and some skills. Though, the easiest way to get a Sprint (CDMA) Locked phone working on GSM based network is making sure the phone is fully payed for or already unlocked by the carrier. If not you can find people or websites that will give you the unlock code for the phone for a small fee. You just give them your IEMI i number and they send you the unlock code. The phone does have other BANDs that work on T-Mobile's network. Plus, both companies have merged. Also another way to check if the phone is unlocked is using IMEI check. If the phone is already unlocked and it doesn't work on other networks, going into the network settings and changing the APN to the carriers BAND set. I got sick of the unlocking game and made sure to buy a fully unlocked LG V40 (QA7). I've jumped to 3 different carriers and even over seas have had no problems. I just insert the sim or 2 and they just work. Its saved me so many headaches. I did just buy 2 brand new LG V60's Unlocked but haven't felt the need to crack the seal yet. The V40 does everything i need it to. It supports 24 BANDs including BAND 66 and 71. Getting 30/MBs down bandwidth. The fastest 4GLTE is better than the slowest spotty 5G. What most don't know is that BAND 66 and 71 run on the same spectrum as some of the 5G BANDs. So the phone can use those BANDs but just at 4GLTE speed. Some 4GLTE phones even say 5G when using these signals but its not really 5G. I've seen the AT&T version of the LG v30 with the SD835 running on Sprint's Network saying is was 5G... Kind of funny. But, hope this helps if anything. If not go-to XDA's website. You'll find an answer there.

                  Love this phone, especially the weight for its size. I just cannot use it as my main driver, because of bad battery life and the mediocre peak brightness.

The LG camera software produces one of the best natural photo quality on an Android phone to date. Also, I have no problem with the performance. Mediocre everything else? Well you really haven't try the audio quality.

                              Wondering if someone can tell me how to make a Sprint branded LG v40 ThinQ phone work on T-Mobile 4G LTE network. I was told that the phone is not compatible, missing a bunch if incoming calls. I love the phone, but it needs to work as a phone first of all. Thank you if you can help somehow.

By the way, I have the T-Mobile variant and I don't know if it has any difference with the other variants but I tried Oreo, Pie and Q and the battery seems to be better on Q and audio recorder apps work better on it, I can use the Unprocessed audio source on it while I can't on Oreo and Pie. It seems like 10 has less bugs compared to Oreo and Pie.
                                      But the thing is, there are several firmwares for each Android version and based on my tests, they get different AnTuTu scores. So I think they differ in performance.
                                      Just backup your data, then flash any firmware you want. If you didn't like like them, reflash the firmware you liked the most.
