LG V30 hands-on review: First impressions

31 August 2017
LG’s brief flirtation with OLED gave us the Flex phones, but now it’s a long-term commitment. Yet – surprisingly – it’s not the screen, which covers 82% of the front of the LG V30, that is the star attraction. Instead, the much-improved dual camera is the main focus of this generation.

I have seen a debate going on about lcd and amoled. My honest opinion is amoled looks more vibrant and pleasing to eyes than lcd.But after 3years my galaxy s3 has a permanent screen burn in, on top of the display. I have a sony device which i used 3 years but couldn't see in deterioration on display. I have a lg g4(which is already bootlooped), it was the worst lcd i ever seen, which suffered from image retention issue also g5, v20 also with same issue. So lg has worst lcd, but it looks like lcd is more durable than amoled

            I get that everyone is putting down their SLR cameras but I hardly ever buy a phone just for the camera.In fact,that is the last selling point for me.

                    LG has the worst quality LCD screens. All other brand's LCD screens are better.

                      Yet you are the one sitting there like a hurt child and claiming a subjective lie is supposedly an objective thing.
                      When the reality is despite whatever your complex issue is that amoled is superior in almost every perceivable way.

                      I dare you to show me lgs LCD surpassing the note8, s8, s7, or even S6 displays. Probably couldn't even best the s5 or S4 except in being newer

                        Does anybody know if video output is possible through an appropriate cable like on the galaxy S8 or if it's not true usb v3.1 & only 2.0 in disguise
