The LG V50 was the first phone to come with 4k 60fps recording in all four cameras but it wasn't praised for that, when iPhone brought the feature in the 11pro series, it was praised like crazy. RUclips these days is very biased😢😢😢
I watched a bunch of reviews before getting mine. They all commented about the notch, saying it is so 2018. But. When the iPhone 11 comes out, notch is fine. I have been happier my lg than the last 5 Samsungs I have had. I am always unfucking my wife's family's iPhone cos they fill them with garbage and never know how to turn anything on or off.
I've been using LG phones for the last 5 year's. LG is the most underrated and best value for your money! Just got the LG G8x and it's a beast! LG users know who the real "smart" phone company is.
It being underrated is lowkey a good thing money wise I usted to have the LG tribute Only 1.5 gigs of ram and it was crazy fast, right there i knew LG was something else
Im a LG fone fan also Just got a Verizon model, Aug 2023 As new condition V50 .. + my V40 was great + my V20 was great + Stylo 2 Got the V50 before theyre all gone Luv it!!!
Hello. I'm planning to buy 2nd hand LG for $100. One option is G8x, then G8, then V50. Which is the best among these in regards with the camera and battery? Thank you.
That may be the case for you, but LG has burned a lot of people so it's not exactly for no reason that their phones don't sell well. They had the bootloop issue for 3 generations of phones (possibly more) which is inexcusable. I owned 3 LG G4s and they all got into bootloops. My brother had the G3 and a friend of mine got the G5 which bootlooped as well. At the end of the day, no matter how good their devices today are, you can't call people unwise for avoiding them
I actually love LG's Android skin, I upgraded to the G8 Thinq from a budget phone (T-Mobile Revvl Plus, was alright) about almost a month ago, I still have the LG skin, I don't miss Nova Launcher honestly
I've gotten used to it too. I dont hate it, but i prefer Action Launcher over any skin. It's all about getting used to. Been using LGV20 since 3 years, my LG V50 arrives in 15 days, im so excited.
V50 will be my next phone when my v30 dies. I love the lossless stereo audio recording feature. Super easy to record live concerts with great results. Just be sure to put the phone in airplane mode, a phonecall WILL disrupt the recording.
I love that you don't care about being painfully honest. Thank you for not saying the same robotic thing that every reviewer does. It like they all watch each other's reviews and basically say the same boring thing. It definitely is refreshing to get an honest review. Keep up the great videos!!
LG is so underrated... I still am using my V30 which is running great... LG phones gained my loyalty after I could capture solar and lunar ellipses... Near DSLR performance... The headphone jack is great as well :-)
My V30 just broke down after 3 years of loyal abuse. Screen is cracked and flickering. (My own fault) have tried some other phones in the past week none come even close. I feel like I am going through a major break up :(
I'm using one of the older V30s right now and it's hands down the best phone I've ever used, including my friend's iPhone XS. It beats out phones years later in a ton of respects. It's about the thinnest bezel you can get without a notch. It produces the best sound out of anything i own (which isnt saying much, but it's still a bonus). I have everything i can set to hex #0 black to squeeze out a fair bit of extra battery life: the thing's a few years old, and I still can get 2 days of heavy use out of it. And the thing was half the price of the S8 it competes against (and wins. It's not even a competition). If subsequent V phones are anything like the one I'm holding now, LG has a customer for life. Not to mention they're the last major holdout for SD slots and headphone jacks. Even Samsung has lost their way with their latest line.
Man, love your channel and your honest reviews. LG is hands down the best smartphone manufacturer. Been using the LG V20 since 3 years until it's screen broke, i dropped it from a great height. Due to all this false/forced marketing happening by these top youtubers, I switched to a Mi phone, but sadly, even though it being a 2019 phone, it can't even come close to my LG V20 in audio and video capabilities, just after 9 days of use, I sold it and bought LG V50, which arrives in 15 days. I am so excited!!!! LG FOR LIFE!

I view the LG V series as like the Thinkpad of smartphones. Ugly and antiquated in the eyes of the general consumer, but irreplaceable for the people in the niche it occupies because of its versatility.
I'm convinced. Had the lg v30 and it was one of my favorite phones. Photos I took with that still rival any other phone I've had. If the v50 is just as good or better it's a win for me.
I am still currently rocking out the V40. With the exception of just "ok" battery life, it's been one of my favorite phones. I work for Cellular Sales (Verizon retailer). I see alllll the phones and hear from all customers about pros and cons. The v50 has been a stellar phone. It will be my next (or maybe the v60).

Download free music.
I started off wanting to upgrade to a Note 10+ and the more i started investigating them the more I debated really getting it. There are three main features that made me get the V50 over the Note 10+. QDAC for audio, I don't consider myself an Audiophile, but having AptX for HD wireless and QDAC HD audio for wired connections make the audio sound REALLY AMAZING! The manual mode for the camera allows me to really get the shot I want in all lighting. Lastly, the mics used while recording video are the best! Especially in a loud setting. The audio won't blow-up and become distorted. I loved my V30. Only had my V50 literally a few hours at this point and i already love it.
I had the LG G5 for years. It finally gave up the ghost so I bought a Hauwei last year but I miss my LG so bad! Which one would you guys recommend? This one?
I bought a Korean unlocked v50 with the second screen for 350 bucks on swappa. Absolutely incredible phone. Great battery life great cameras and great audio. Took my sim card out of my OnePlus (which I love) and made it my daily driver. Plus with the second screen attachment you get interests and head turns that you'll never get with any other brand
If I only listen to Spotify on easy to drive iems, would the V50 still make a difference in sound quality? Or is the quad dac meant for high res files and hard to drive headphones
Wow everyone's offended you have an opinion lol. I love when reviewers are honest. And well this is painfully honest. Every other RUclipsr is gonna say Note 10,iPhone 11 pro Max or possibly OnePlus 6t/pixel 4. People don't get that LG is making GREAT phones. Their only problem is keeping value. They HAVE to get these updates out faster. They need to get the new UX 9 out to other phones etc. They need to keep their customers happy. But having a v40,I can agree this is a great all around phone and with the 50s better battery,it's pretty much a win win.

Jason! Help! I love my V50 unlocked on T-Mobile. Since it doesn’t support VoLTE, T-Mo says it will no longer work on Sprint or T-Mobile in January 2021. Based on its other cellular bands, do you know what network we can use it on? I hope you or Juan can help!
PHT, first video of yours I've watched and I enjoyed it very much. I'm in the market for an older flagship and have settled on the V50 as the one. But I'm concerned about connectivity because I'm on T-mobile, and the V50 seems to be a Sprint device (something about updating the APN the MSS ?). What does this mean? Will the V50 function well on T-mobile?
Besides the headphone jack, does it really stand up with the note or oneplus or iphone? What is the starting price of it anyway? I don't even think they sell them at the store in town 🤔
Best audio, arguably the best Finger Print Sensor (since they use the capacitive one), cheaper base price than competitors. That's all I can think of. It has its way of being different but that won't result in more sales.
This is the third video I've watched that you have presented on this phone. It would be good if you could concentrate more on the audio quality. I'm tempted to buy this phone. Good work. I enjoy your videos.
Great video thank you! Just a question- does the G8 compare the same on audio specs (especially in microphone recording quality) to the V50 or is one model better in this area than the other. Trying to work out whether to buy the V50 with dual screen or the G8X dual screen model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I was doing similar research before and most of what I read pointed to the G8X's audio via headphone jack being a tad quieter than the V50. Not worse, just quieter for some reason. G8X is the superior experience when it comes to the dual screen factor.
The cameras in LG v50 It reminds me of the Nexus 4, I remember that using the same glass to cover the camera and the total back caused the photos not to be very good
I had the v20 and I loved it, that thing was built like a tank. They also don't get enough recognition for the extra ruggedness in their phones. The last LG I had was the G6 which was beautiful and a bargain. Hands down the best phone that year. The reason I switched to Samsung after alternating between the two companies for years is because the Samsung line of apps facilitate switching between phones and help keeping everything organized. Also, don't sleep on LG's other products, they are still a leading panel manufacturer and their audio, laptops, and TVs quality are top of the line. I own the LG 32GK850G-B monitor right now and I'm beyond happy with it. They've been killing it in the monitor game these past few years.
Hi how you doing, I need help on the v50 I jost bought it 5 day ago ,and I don't like the menu bar and I can't take it away ,how you do it ? I had the LG v35 and I can take it away ,I put the pint and the left and press it and the menu bar will go away ,and not in the v50 ,I cannot find the wey to do it . please help me thanks
I've got : LG g2 LG g3 LG g4 LG g5 Lg g6 Lg v10 Lg v20 Lg v30 Rest assured, only the Lg g4 died out on me with it's infamous LG-esque bootlooping. And the v10/20 developed some screen ghosting (probably because of the soc heat, and the general climate of where I reside) I'd definitely buy LG without hesitation even today if i could.
I wish I could get more LG phone in Thailand as LG stop its phone market here. Still love my LG G2 which has died years ago. I would buy LG V50 with dual screen right now as I know its values.
That Optimus G 13mp 2g of ram that came out a few years back was the mac daddy of phones. Love LG! Rocking a LGV30+ Sprint Special Edition and Love it.
Did you mention the great waterproof rating? Which is what dragged me to the phone in the first place. I love my V20 but it's time for a bigger engine...that can get wet. I will miss the IR blaster.
Still have the LG V30... should I upgrade to the V50, or wait for the V60 to drop in price? I don't need the biggest and best, just the best upgrade for the price from where I am at right now. Thanks!
V60 has a much more powerful chipset and a wider 5G spectrum. Even the DualScreen case is a massive improvement over the V50's. Same story with the battery capacity as you have a whopping 5000mAh of it. But at 6.8", the V60 is far from small. At the moment, I don't really see any significant price drop for the V60. So unless if you do have a proper 5G network around your house area, I'd stay with the V50.
Longtime V20 user, looking for my next upgrade and spending top dollar on a phone just doesn't appeal. I would miss the removable battery but LG's DAC implementation is a major key for me. Especially as I now have Custom IEM's and love the experience with Tidal Hifi and my V20. The price on this is solid right now, hoping if Google takes more control over updates that the SW support becomes a thing of the past.
i think it's a great phone and this is an important take on it, because you're right, lg is not afraid to stand back and let the other companies do their thing while lg continues to do what their customers want. i think we may be in decent shape for lg continuing to do this also, because lg makes plenty of money in other industries like tvs, appliances, etc. their mobile division hasn't been a main focus for a while.
Thank you Jason, I know you like this phone a lot .. You have often spoken about how good it’s quad DAC is .. if I was looking for an Android phone I would definitely look at the LG ...
Watching on my V50! This video is spot on, the V50 is an absolute beast and easily takes the crown of best phone of 2019. Most people that dog lg are apple or samsung fanboys. Great video!!
I can forgive Apple's 64gb option only because iOS doesn't take as much storage as Android. But Google.... Well. The only good thing i can say about Pixel 4 is it's the second best camera next to Iphone 11. And that's it lol
Google deliberately keep storage low, so you make use of the included Google drive (I think you have unlimited storage for all photos and videos you take on a pixel) . If you put files on Google drive, you'll be inclined to buy another Google phone down the line with proper Google Drive optimisation, because that's where your photos and videos are. Horrible business strategy in my opinion.
Does it still have the IR blaster? Like on the v10 n 20, idk about 30 n 40 i only own the first two n i absolutely love that feature. Samsung had it n got rid of it. I think if LG changes it's Software skin to stock Android that by it self it would push sells much much more...
Using a G7 for almost an year and a half.. and it's phenomenal still.. Dropped so many times, yet in best place.. the audio, camera and all are top class.. Bought it when everyone was buying oneplus 6/6T here in India.. but have loved it ever since.. looking forward to G9
guys i need to buy a case for my lg v50 case in my country it isn't being sold so no cases are available and i don't know which case to order online so if you guys know please recommend some to me
I have the iPhone 11 Pro right now. Have a few days in my return window. I'm thinking of getting this phone. Mainly for that headphone jack. I had the v30 years ago and it was an amazing device. Miss the camera as well. LG's video taking capabilities are remarkable. Its honestly as good, if not a bit better than the iPhone 11 Pro. I wish LG had a better marketing department.
My first LG device was an LG V10, and god, did I love that phone. The only thing that pushed me away from LG was how late they are for device updates, and also, my V10 had the damn bootloop issue. It's 2020 now, and I still haven't gotten a new LG phone. I know their current phones have a bunch of features, but how are they handling future updates? Currently using a Mi 9T Pro with a Pixel 3a as backup. When you get spoiled with getting the latest Android updates early, it's kinda hard going back to LG.
I'm not a LG smartphone fan but they are definitely solid phones, I'm glad to see another Android phone besides the regular ones make an appearance for phone of the year with a good case for it as well.
Have a V30 and it's almost dead (screen is losing pixels) so I'm looking for an upgrade. Unfortunately in my region we only got the V40 which I feel is not going to hold up in the long run. Would deffinately be interested in a V50 but can't seem to find any at a reasonable price. Oh well...
Still running my LG v20 with the Microsoft launcher. Phone is still phenomenal with the replaceable battery. Only thing that pisses me off is the Android updates from LG lag so far behind, but still an amazing phone from 2016.
Love this phone! Quad DAC will change your life forever! Watching Netflix, Hulu, disney+ is an experience like no other with this phone especially with headphones. Headphone jack is clutch. Fingerprint sensor works perfectly everytime. Taking pictures is very nice because they aren't so saturated like on Samsung's. Video stabilization is excellent. Cod mobile looks amazing/ (but does heat up device if you play on the games highest rez. It wont if you run low graphics and max frame rate) You can screen record. It honestly charges faster than I anticipated a flagship phone to charge. If you are like me, who watches tons of streaming services, plays moble games, uploads pictures/video content onto social media, likes listening to music/podcasts than this phone is for you. Tbh I should only have to say Quad DAC for you to be sold on this.

Do you think the V50 is better than the G8X and why? I'm trying to decide on which one to get.
Just bought on yesterday...in LOVE with it!!! ♥ my dream phone come true haha

How is your V50?
My LG v20 with my 10,800 mAh battery mod is still going strong today.
How do i get that battery on aliexpress
Which tempered screen protector are you using?
Jason! Help! I love my V50 unlocked on T-Mobile. Since it doesn’t support VoLTE, T-Mo says it will no longer work on Sprint or T-Mobile in January 2021. Based on its other cellular bands, do you know what network we can use it on? I hope you or Juan can help!
Your channel is by far one of the best. Love hearing your opinions.
PHT, first video of yours I've watched and I enjoyed it very much. I'm in the market for an older flagship and have settled on the V50 as the one. But I'm concerned about connectivity because I'm on T-mobile, and the V50 seems to be a Sprint device (something about updating the APN the MSS ?). What does this mean? Will the V50 function well on T-mobile?
It should because they’re the same network but I’d double check to be sure.
Besides the headphone jack, does it really stand up with the note or oneplus or iphone? What is the starting price of it anyway? I don't even think they sell them at the store in town 🤔
Best audio, arguably the best Finger Print Sensor (since they use the capacitive one), cheaper base price than competitors. That's all I can think of. It has its way of being different but that won't result in more sales.
is this your phone you use on the daily?
I just picked up a G7 and at a year and a half old it's still a real monster!!!!
Hi, great video!! I have one concern... Does it gets hot when Playing heavy games or recording videos? Thanks!!
This is the third video I've watched that you have presented on this phone. It would be good if you could concentrate more on the audio quality. I'm tempted to buy this phone. Good work. I enjoy your videos.
Great video thank you! Just a question- does the G8 compare the same on audio specs (especially in microphone recording quality) to the V50 or is one model better in this area than the other. Trying to work out whether to buy the V50 with dual screen or the G8X dual screen model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was doing similar research before and most of what I read pointed to the G8X's audio via headphone jack being a tad quieter than the V50. Not worse, just quieter for some reason. G8X is the superior experience when it comes to the dual screen factor.
The cameras in LG v50 It reminds me of the Nexus 4, I remember that using the same glass to cover the camera and the total back caused the photos not to be very good
I had the v20 and I loved it, that thing was built like a tank. They also don't get enough recognition for the extra ruggedness in their phones.
The last LG I had was the G6 which was beautiful and a bargain. Hands down the best phone that year.
The reason I switched to Samsung after alternating between the two companies for years is because the Samsung line of apps facilitate switching between phones and help keeping everything organized.
Also, don't sleep on LG's other products, they are still a leading panel manufacturer and their audio, laptops, and TVs quality are top of the line.
I own the LG 32GK850G-B monitor right now and I'm beyond happy with it. They've been killing it in the monitor game these past few years.
Hi how you doing, I need help on the v50 I jost bought it 5 day ago ,and I don't like the menu bar and I can't take it away ,how you do it ? I had the LG v35 and I can take it away ,I put the pint and the left and press it and the menu bar will go away ,and not in the v50 ,I cannot find the wey to do it . please help me thanks
The best! One in use now and a new one waiting in the box for later. Happy 2021!
Can you please compare LG G 9 to LGV 60...AND /OR 7 and 50?
LG V20 has DAC and the audio record feature too
How does the LG v50 compare to the samsung S10e?
Love this video format with some soft music on the backround. Good job👍
What about the drop test will it survive
I've got :
LG g2
LG g3
LG g4
LG g5
Lg g6
Lg v10
Lg v20
Lg v30
Rest assured, only the Lg g4 died out on me with it's infamous LG-esque bootlooping.
And the v10/20 developed some screen ghosting (probably because of the soc heat, and the general climate of where I reside)
I'd definitely buy LG without hesitation even today if i could.
I've got the LG G (Optimus) lying some where think you need it to complete your collection.
Nicky Neo oh datum! Had that too but for a total of two weeks sadly.
Had the Optimus G pro for a month or two too.
Thanks for reminding me xD
I wish I could get more LG phone in Thailand as LG stop its phone market here. Still love my LG G2 which has died years ago. I would buy LG V50 with dual screen right now as I know its values.
That Optimus G 13mp 2g of ram that came out a few years back was the mac daddy of phones. Love LG! Rocking a LGV30+ Sprint Special Edition and Love it.
G2 was far ahead of its time. Loved it.
You talked in previous video that v50 has average battery life and drains 10-15% during night, now you say otherwise? What changed?
No comment
Will this phone work on Verizon’s network?
It should
Did you mention the great waterproof rating? Which is what dragged me to the phone in the first place. I love my V20 but it's time for a bigger engine...that can get wet. I will miss the IR blaster.
Correction: Samsung still has manual photo mode, but no manual video
Still have the LG V30... should I upgrade to the V50, or wait for the V60 to drop in price? I don't need the biggest and best, just the best upgrade for the price from where I am at right now. Thanks!
V60 has a much more powerful chipset and a wider 5G spectrum. Even the DualScreen case is a massive improvement over the V50's. Same story with the battery capacity as you have a whopping 5000mAh of it. But at 6.8", the V60 is far from small. At the moment, I don't really see any significant price drop for the V60. So unless if you do have a proper 5G network around your house area, I'd stay with the V50.
@@FAT8893 hello sir who is your V50?
Do it support mqa decoder?
Longtime V20 user, looking for my next upgrade and spending top dollar on a phone just doesn't appeal. I would miss the removable battery but LG's DAC implementation is a major key for me. Especially as I now have Custom IEM's and love the experience with Tidal Hifi and my V20. The price on this is solid right now, hoping if Google takes more control over updates that the SW support becomes a thing of the past.
As a Samsung fan i am happy to hear our cousins LG are making some good stuff
Should I wait for the unlock version of v60 or go with this? The better battery life is what’s stopping me..
Watching on my LG V50.
@@thejasontlewis do you record your videos with the 50? Video recording on this thing is like having a mini studio.
Nice. It's my next phone for sure.
Same.
@@bcdt1947 Do you know the right setting recommendation for mic recording?
Too bad it cant play Netflix and Amazon on dual screen mode. Video will be paused when touch/use the other screen.
Thanks for that.
I'm still looking for your LG V60 review... Someone told me that you've done it already... Can you point me out to it please?
Just got the v60 today!
i think it's a great phone and this is an important take on it, because you're right, lg is not afraid to stand back and let the other companies do their thing while lg continues to do what their customers want. i think we may be in decent shape for lg continuing to do this also, because lg makes plenty of money in other industries like tvs, appliances, etc. their mobile division hasn't been a main focus for a while.
Does it going to get Android 11?
Thank you Jason, I know you like this phone a lot .. You have often spoken about how good it’s quad DAC is ..
if I was looking for an Android phone I would definitely look at the LG ...
Still rockin my v30. After 2 years it as my daily driver never gave any problem. My next phone is going to be LG V60.
Really love the finger prints sensor in the back on the note 10 plus once you add a tempered glass it doesn't work
Watching on my V50! This video is spot on, the V50 is an absolute beast and easily takes the crown of best phone of 2019. Most people that dog lg are apple or samsung fanboys. Great video!!
How's the camera?
Nah one plus 7 pro
Hey J!! Thanks again for following up with the LG V50! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Google and Apple both hobble their phones per storage issues. 64, really? More of course, for more money, but no SD cards.
I can forgive Apple's 64gb option only because iOS doesn't take as much storage as Android. But Google.... Well. The only good thing i can say about Pixel 4 is it's the second best camera next to Iphone 11. And that's it lol
Google deliberately keep storage low, so you make use of the included Google drive (I think you have unlimited storage for all photos and videos you take on a pixel) . If you put files on Google drive, you'll be inclined to buy another Google phone down the line with proper Google Drive optimisation, because that's where your photos and videos are.
Horrible business strategy in my opinion.
V50 or g8x ?
Does it still have the IR blaster? Like on the v10 n 20, idk about 30 n 40 i only own the first two n i absolutely love that feature. Samsung had it n got rid of it. I think if LG changes it's Software skin to stock Android that by it self it would push sells much much more...
If I every have the opportunity I’m gonna have to try it out. Oh and Merry Christmas, Jason!
This phone is great for gaming or not ?
Using a G7 for almost an year and a half.. and it's phenomenal still..
Dropped so many times, yet in best place.. the audio, camera and all are top class..
Bought it when everyone was buying oneplus 6/6T here in India.. but have loved it ever since.. looking forward to G9
Your the only channel talking about the LG V50 that's way i love your video's.
Juan Bagnell also PREACES about LG phones for some years. He even commented to this video. You can find him on Some Gadget Guy.
@@cristiannegoescu4561 Thank you so much 😁😀
guys i need to buy a case for my lg v50 case in my country it isn't being sold so no cases are available and i don't know which case to order online so if you guys know please recommend some to me
How does it compare with LG8X?
LG G8X has a much better DualScreen case than the V50. But the V50 has 5G support albeit in limited bands and a secondary ultrawide front camera.
I have the iPhone 11 Pro right now. Have a few days in my return window. I'm thinking of getting this phone. Mainly for that headphone jack. I had the v30 years ago and it was an amazing device. Miss the camera as well. LG's video taking capabilities are remarkable. Its honestly as good, if not a bit better than the iPhone 11 Pro. I wish LG had a better marketing department.
which icon pacl you are using
I'm still running an aging v20, but when I update it'll be another v series. Just because of the sound system, best of any phone.
So this phone has 5g, but does it have WiFi 6? Not hatin', I currently use the G7.
Is LG V50s better than LG V50?
My first LG device was an LG V10, and god, did I love that phone. The only thing that pushed me away from LG was how late they are for device updates, and also, my V10 had the damn bootloop issue.
It's 2020 now, and I still haven't gotten a new LG phone. I know their current phones have a bunch of features, but how are they handling future updates? Currently using a Mi 9T Pro with a Pixel 3a as backup. When you get spoiled with getting the latest Android updates early, it's kinda hard going back to LG.
How did u get that wallpaper
With the S20 just confirmed with feature regression, this is looking more and more attractive.
I'm not a LG smartphone fan but they are definitely solid phones, I'm glad to see another Android phone besides the regular ones make an appearance for phone of the year with a good case for it as well.
I got a V50 Dual Screen in from South Korea. Holy shit, I agree. Best Device in the world.
love the background music its not a music its a melody I would love to know the name of the melody
had the V10 V20 still rocking the V30
Have a V30 and it's almost dead (screen is losing pixels) so I'm looking for an upgrade. Unfortunately in my region we only got the V40 which I feel is not going to hold up in the long run. Would deffinately be interested in a V50 but can't seem to find any at a reasonable price. Oh well...
Still running my LG v20 with the Microsoft launcher. Phone is still phenomenal with the replaceable battery. Only thing that pisses me off is the Android updates from LG lag so far behind, but still an amazing phone from 2016.
Still Loving my v40 one year in.
I just ordered one waiting for delivery got the 128gb for £318. You think this v50 much better seems like the v40 is also great
I still rock my LG v30 and it been great (Nova launcher installed obviously). Seriously looking at v50 as a potential upgrade
Brother, you always crack me up! Thanks... In this INSANE world you're helping cope!
I miss my LG V30. I have a Samsung S10e today. It's fine. I wanted the LG V50, but it's still not available here.
Love this phone! Quad DAC will change your life forever! Watching Netflix, Hulu, disney+ is an experience like no other with this phone especially with headphones. Headphone jack is clutch. Fingerprint sensor works perfectly everytime. Taking pictures is very nice because they aren't so saturated like on Samsung's. Video stabilization is excellent. Cod mobile looks amazing/ (but does heat up device if you play on the games highest rez. It wont if you run low graphics and max frame rate) You can screen record. It honestly charges faster than I anticipated a flagship phone to charge. If you are like me, who watches tons of streaming services, plays moble games, uploads pictures/video content onto social media, likes listening to music/podcasts than this phone is for you. Tbh I should only have to say Quad DAC for you to be sold on this.
