LG V30 review: All screen

13 September 2017
The V-series of phablets was conceived as a novel take on the phablet with a secondary ticker display. Well, that lasted for two product cycles, and the secondary screen is no more. Instead, the LG V30 is all screen.

    AnonD-438314, 14 Sep 2017Nobody knows about its camera's sensor? I guess they used ... moreV30 uses Sony IMX351 for main rear cam sensor, the same one in HTC U11 front cam.

        Remove OnePlus from the benchmark results or put it at bottom. Cheaters should be disqualified

            I got the LG V20 and can't wait to upgrade to the V30. They need to drop that pre-order link on AT&T already. While everyone else is buying Note 8's and Iphones letting the cameras software do all the work I'll be shooting in RAW format and editing in lightroom on my V30. Just so yall don't try to roast me, I know you can shoot RAW on both of the phones that i mentioned above but most people that i know that own those phones let the camera software do most of the work and think they are a photographer.

                  Great phone but no stereo speakers for a media phone? Also, I am afraid of LG quality. Apple have the best QC and board design, LG seems to be on the other end of the spectrum.

                    Hey, where is the score finished??? I clearly saw a 4.7/5.

                      Bigger body gives higher STB ratio.
                      1/3.6" is still tiny.

                      I dare they fit a 1/3.06" 13MP ( same of Sony front or G6 rear cam) front cam inside tiny bezel.

                      In 2 years ppl will ask for more MP front cam. And wont have it.

                      The f is proportinal to sensor size. The f 1.7 for big sensor is better than f1.7 on a small one.

                      F1.6 + 1/3" is almost the same of f1.9 + 1/2.6"

Its ridiculous to hav... moreFM radios in smartphones are not widely used because of one reason: you need to connect a set of headphones in order to provide an antenna. Even worse, you can't connect a dedicated antenna (or the headphones) and then listen via the phone's speaker, like a usual FM radio.

                          If some manufacturer would build an internal antenna into the smartphone (doubt it, it is actually against manufacturer's interests) or allow an USB cable as an antenna, or at least allow playing through the speaker while headphones were connected, the FM radio would be much more widely used.

                            Anonymous, 15 Sep 2017f/1.6 & f/1.9 aperture but no low light camera test ??You're right. Highlight of the camera is its aperture that should improve low light photography, but no photos and no inside was given about this matter.

                              That Moroccan blue V30 is gorgeous. But alas, I want gesture controls to hark back to webOS circa 2009.

                                      FM Radio is also better for disseminating information during disasters like the Hurricanes USA faced few days ago. I can't believe that rest of the world has to suffer not having FM Radio because US Carriers want to make money by selling data.

                                      Things are looking better for V30 again (although even if I buy it, it won't be until the next year).

                                        is it possible to use a different player like poweramp and benefit from the quad dac superb audio output?
                                        there is a myth that using different players only useres the standard qualcom audiochip.
