LG V40 ThinQ review

16 November 2018
Why choose between ultra wide and telephoto, when you can have both? That’s precisely what LG thought when designing the V40 ThinQ, the first smartphone to go both wider and longer than ‘normal’.

          WHAT IS THIS!! I AM NOT HAPPY. I have been buying the LG brand of phones for years now and to finally have this one come out and now you cannot even place a SD card inside of the phone. Why would you buy the phone in 2012 when there isn't even a SD slot. For me the blackberry couldn't get any better right now the smart phone of the year, even if they came back out with the Nokia 3510F2.123 I would probably buy that over the previous model of iphones because it doesn't even have the ability for storing photos on the sim card. WHY. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO STORE MY PHOTOS ON THE SIM CARD!!

              Tanase Adrian, 17 Nov 2018V30 is even cheaper and is the better phone between these 2!100% agree. I had V30 and it is a great great phone
              Now I swithed on Mate 20 Pro and I don't see it twice as good as V30. It is at best 10% better. But the price is more than double
              V30 Great Great battery, great camera, great screen, wireless charging.... VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY
              BETTER THAN 6t imo

                123, 17 Nov 2018I would go v35 But why you say v30 and 35 are better then ... moregiven what they offer and the price it is the best price/performance offer.also v30 vs v35 small bump...

                  But why you say v30 and 35 are better then v40 and mate20pro? Or you consider price as well?

                    Mono speaker again.

                      H-1, 16 Nov 2018An update might fix this issue, we just have to wait and see.Yeah, same thing happened to the HTC U11 Plus. Perhaps it's the phone needing an update, or the fact that these tests are treating endurance over time and not screen on time in the normal conventional way

                        If allloving GSMArena says 'Absolute resolved detail is good, but not stunning...' means that camera is awful. Which is a case with this particular model.

                          Perfect phone, except the speakers.
                          Why choose stereo when you can go mono?

If you are, I don't really mind you posting them, but please stop saying "there, editor, fixed it for you" at the end your comment every single time. It's rude and can be even really disrespectful to the writers who spent days to make those professional reviews.

                                  BTICronox, 17 Nov 2018Camera is the exact same sensor the Pixel 3 uses, but k.Exactly the same sensor as Pixel 2 but uses softer F1.5 lens and much crappier image processing, that's why V40's cameras are so underwhelming just like V30 and G7.

                                        Last years V30 outlasts the Mate 20 Pro in the same test. It's not the size alone, it's the optimization as well.
