LG V30 goes official with 6" P-OLED screen, much improved dual camera

30 August 2017
The G6-like design means the V30 has a bigger screen, but smaller footprint compared to the V20.

Now, as is usual, LG will muck up the pricing and make people opt for S8 and S8+ instead.

Good thing is that will make the price drop really fast, just like with the G6 that can be found here for ~500€ brand new, which competes directly against the likes of OnePlus 5 and such.

    Regional restrictions on the quad dac kill this for me. I'll never buy an LG while they do that.

        LG quality issue and locked bootloader are the deal breaker

          I think time will prove whether LG V30 is selling very well in the market. No matter how good this product review at the end the customer who will decide.

            Simply magnificent........ Samsung should learn more from LG
            Just look at the differences between the LG V20 and the LG V30 , and the Note 5 and Note 8 , and you'll see which company is progressing.
            Samsung repackage the same software into a different design .... What a shame
            LG is coming strong !!!

              Very nice - really like how it turned out!

                Launching A Flagship phone in almost late 2017 with 4GB of RAM is really a disappointment...

                Even Brand like Samsung has started giving 6GB of RAM ( in S8+ and Note 8).

                LG is thinking that with the help of Camera it can beat Sales of Galaxy Note8 and Iphone 8 .
                Lol....

                  Great device, but no removable battery. Is it just impossible for a smartphone manufacturer to make a removable glass panel? I do like glass, and I want to think a lot of R&D went into the phone other than water resistance. Digging that Quad DAC and POLED; the whole phone looks like it poured into my hand. One day it will.

                    Ok, thanks to the OLED screen this looks like a viable alternative to Galaxy Note 8 (for many of us that do not really need the stylus). However 4GB is disappointing - the phone is less future-proof and the price must be dropped significantly. I'd say 500 EUR max at start.

                      What about the sensor size of both cameras and what about the portrait mode is it there in the lg v30 because mostly people end up taking portrait mode pics

                        Tann Hauser, 31 Aug 2017Nice specs. Dont like the screen ratio tho. This is lookin... moreUmm.... V30 has 2:1 screen. What are you talking about?

                          AnonD-669148, 31 Aug 2017LG V30 is far more impressive than Note 8! The stylus is no... moreIt's not about which phone is more impressive. Note buyers don't care about S8, G6 or V30. They are addicted to stylus.
                          Again, why do you think V30 is more impressive. From what i can see, both are impressive phones that have different strong points. No phone is perfect and no phone is for everyone.

                            AnonD-669148, 31 Aug 2017LG V30 is far more impressive than Note 8! The stylus is no... moreNote is exynos, this is sd 835....much, much better SoC.
                            And much, much better screen.
                            Just to begin with.

                              Nice specs. Dont like the screen ratio tho.
                              This is looking good.

                                  Looks interesting, yes. Silver is definitely in my taste.
                                  Was hoping for the 1.6 apertute to be true, but perhaps it will be a thing in 2020's?

                                  Ridiculous sizes of the batteries nowadays, but they try to fix the problem with fast charges.

                                  I am a customer who wants a battery, that lasts a day - easily! Maybe even until the second day! I do not want to carry around a charger everyway I go, to find a plug-in, especially with an enormous screen of 82% of the front, with 6''.

                                    Sonu4678, 31 Aug 2017Don't think so. This phone is not a competitor of Note, thi... moreLG V30 is far more impressive than Note 8! The stylus is not unique enough, and most will not buy two phones so LG V30 definitely competes against Note 8! The stylus is just as pointless today as slide out hardware keyboards!

                                      Now pricing is the only thing that will make this phone perfect. Hope it will be something arround $500 to $600.

                                        Best of Bests, all hardware specs are upgraded, not software, as Sammy! Price should be 700$ launch, not thousand plus dollars. LG is bigger brother of Samsung. Need to have a break from monotony.
