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.

      This is a great phone but it's not even the final software version.

        I think that a proper review should include a final version of the product being reviewed I don't see why the need to rush a review using a non final version of the phone hopefully the review will be updated once you get hold of a final version of the phone.

          I really like this phone if I didn't have a G5 and V20 already but my eyes are already set on that extremely limited, kinda ugly/pretty, Xpensive, special 10th anniversary iPhone. Getting it is like getting a golden ticket to enter Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. October 17-November 3 is going to be total chaos to find that X.

            I'm still waiting for a real review. It's still unknown whether G5 still has better camera than V30 or not. Because it has better camera than G6.

                  Superb low-bezel body, Great large AMOLED screen, Ample battery life (87 hours is one of LG's best in a long time).

                  LG UX is pretty functional and good, though the icons, feel and design look practically the same since the G4. I think it's time for a fresh look and hopefully they will go for a more stock look.

                  Wonderful multimedia package and superb audio prowess. BTW the music player pitch and speed control, isn't just for fooling around. Musicians have real use for it.

                  Great camera, but then that's how LG has been doing it for years now. And I think the new f1.9 wide angle lens with lesser fish-eye effect is better. Point Zoom in video is neat.

                  The 5MP f2.2 with 1/5" sensor selfie camera is a major dissapointment on multiple counts though, and needs to be changed ASAP in the G7.

                  The 3.5 mm headphone jack is alive and FM Radio is back in a flagship!!! *tears of joy*

                    Does Dual Sim version have a dedicated micro sd slot? I am a satisfied V20 Customer but am not buying if they have removed the Dedicated MicroSD. They have also removed the "removable battery" so let's see...

                      Anonymous, 14 Sep 2017So you haven't actuality reviewed and camera samples Riiight, my bad, missed note8/S8 ones. Those got better low light stills and also colors in lowlight video. Also missed 950xl which colors of lowlight video put to shame even those.
                      So yes, its not best in low light, but somewhere near top.

                              Pre-production units should not be reviewed, at all.

                                  [deleted post]You'll get more on an updated review. Plus Los light just won't be what people expected

                                    After final software/few updates i guess the battery life and the camera will be so good !!

                                      It's time to define display size with square inch or square cm, because manufacturers are making us fool with narrower displays. The more narrow but longer the rectangle, the more longer the hypotenuse, It doesn't mean the area is larger. so we want to know that how much is the area of a display. say, LG V30 has 6.82*13.63= 92.96 square cm while Lumia 1520 has 7.47*13.28= 99.20 square cm display area. both devices are said to have 6" display but LG V30 has 6.24 square cm less display are compared to a 16:9 6" display. so let's not be cheated.
