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’.

The king for me. Much cheaper then note9 amd mate20pro
Thats my next lg

    Anyone who says their lg is a beast in battery life is either lying or delusional. Really, you guys aren't fooling anyone.

      Something wrong with the battery endurance test on GSM area. On youtube the V40 is able to properly compete against the other flagships.
      My G6 battery life is very good. V30 is still getting praises everywhere for its great battery life. I think the v40 SOT will not disappoint users in real life usage.

        Even with this little light on blacks my V30 is still a beast in battery dept !

              Had V30 - Great Great phone. Great battery life
              Expected V40 - battery dissapointment
              Now have Mate 20 Pro - Even Greater Battery
              Loved Lg skin. Not so in love with Emui. If only V40 had 4200 MAh....
              V30 - Sd 835 - very efficient
              V40 - Sd 845 - not efficient - check S8 vs S9 battery also

                Tee, 16 Nov 2018LG put a 4,500 mAh battery on your next flagship and start ... moreActually, weirdly enough, LG has had small batteries in both the V30 and the G7 and battery life for the former was extremely good and the latter had surprisingly good battery for 3000. Don't know how they screwed up here though

                  too big aperture for daylight with that sensor size of main normal fov camera + bad processing. Compare with samsung's f2.4 aperture or xz2compact being more like raw even if with some noise and see difference.

                    alski10, 16 Nov 2018I can't see any reason to buy this phone apart from the DAC... moreI was really looking forward to grab this one to replace my LG G6 but I won't trade it for a worse battery device...why does LG plays it so risky?

                      I can't see any reason to buy this phone apart from the DAC.
                      The good thing is that its price should come down pretty quickly for those interested

                          Only LG and Samsung kept the 3.5mm jack and that's something we need to support as consumers. My LG V30 with a DAC and 3.5mm jack still thinner than a Apple XR so companies are just doing it for a money grab or they are to cheap and wanna save couple cents.

                            micro-sd, audio jack, fm radio, quad DAC, rugged and water resistant build... Great. However after the bootloop/G4 fiasco I'd think twice before buying LG again

                                Wish LG back to business soon they’re not bad, but they needs to take care of quality and materials of there phones seriously.

                                    Aside from the small battery this phone looks pretty good. Really like the red in the pics.

                                      Bad battery life for the price, average camera (but dynamic range really bad), great video recording. Overall average at its best.

                                      Now where is this Siput guy? Come out come out wherever you are~~

                                        Do current phones really have optical zoom?

                                        Because those non-interchangeable lens cameras show the movement of the elements of the lens.

                                        I am started to think this called 2x optical zoom is just 2x digital. With a 52mm ( things get much closers) it won't look that bad.
