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😢😢😢
LG needs to do a better marketing job.
@@AnwarLL a good product needs to market itself and having non biased reviewers only helps it's image
@@GavinMarkable yeah good luck
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.
Lg v40 came with 4k60fps
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!!!
PREACH!
expected to see you around here!
Painfully Honest Tech and Juan Bagnell of (SomeGadgetGuy) has a good and unbiased review in LG phones. Thumbs up to both of you guys!
Ayyy, it's Juan! Good to see you man. You and Painfully Honest should collab or something when the LG Velvet drops, or sometime soon! It'll be great!
Only wise phone lovers buy LG phones....They know the strength and value....
Yes ive been using v40 im happy with it
I am perfectly happy with my LG G8, the only downside is that it STILL hasn't gotten the android 10 update lol
@@Carnyzzle hahaha just wait for it lol eberything will be fine..lg the best all the way
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
@@kingdeedee
Doesn't explain why people still buy Samsung phones when their batteries were literally exploding
Google is trying to copy Apple.
LG is just doing their own thing. 👍🏼
@maog sure
@Regnum defende look at the lg wing
Which is why I'm sending back my pixel 4 that I just got in today! Crappy interface. I have a V20 now and going to a 50 shortly.
LG need to do better in marketing and sales department
No they shouldn't because it'll drive the price up to cover the cost of marketing. Let LG be the kid alone in the corner that nobody cares, so we consumer can get the best value as LG phone depreciate quickly after launch.
Funny isnt it? Nokia has the exact same issue and are arguably just as good if not better than LG. The wuestion is, is it a marketing issue or is it all the other companies muscling them out of the advert space like what Nikon did to cheat it's way into the US
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!!
Am I the only one who actually loves LG's Android skin? 🤔
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.
I like it too and i find it really stable too
This is why I left Samsung and have been with LG for about 10 years.
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 :(
Kind of embarrassed to say Ive been a supporter of your channel for some time and just noticed I havent subscribed. Keep up the great content!
I"m still using my LG V35. I love it and for most of the reasons you mentioned about the V50.
After months of looking, your commentary has led me to the LG v50 & I thank you
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'm curious to know how you got on with your V50 over the last 2 years or so haha?
aug 2023 Scored a "as new " V50 After my old friend V40 got smashed wen fell outta my pocket bike riding!!! Been using my V20 ,, up until the Vee 50 arrived ther other day Im excited too !!!
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.
Agreed....i have the same phone as well.
S10+ have jack audio
And dont forget the audio quality on the quad dac. Also on the v30 as well
I still have the v40. Really like it.
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 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.
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 also have the V30 since 2017. Still works perfectly. I fear it will still last quite a while before I can finally upgrade to the next LG V model ;-)
Me too. I keep watching the price on eBay. As soon as it dips to under 300 for a refurbished one I'm in.
@@mandrael v30 here to
V30 gang, this phone is still holding on strong since 2017. I am so impressed with LG and they have a customer for life!
@@hashwasnthere235 I'm with you
I'm still using the LG G7 thinq and I love the camera, my friends love the picture quality that comes out from it, great phone.
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
Any update news for LG v50 when can get Android 10 update
@@mahmudulislam6141 some have gotten it already
Wow that's quite the bargain.
Ordered the same on ebay
Coming and cant wait
@@mahmudulislam6141 Beta is available for the Korean V50, should be coming to the US models early next year.
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).
I use the v40 daily. My favorite of all my devices. The V50 is a step above
Just be prepared for that notch in videos on V50.
@@chigginskeywest nothing wrong with the notch. Its actually a notch done right. I never hear complaints of Apple iphone notch since. The release of the X.
Apple customers are not as petty as Android consumers. iPhone buyers were upgrading from the 6s to the 7 to 8 and essentially buying the same phone over and over again. Android customers are more anal. Android customers are babies when it comes to picking apart devices. Hand a apple fan boy a iPhone and they will sweet it's the best phone whether it's the 7 or xr or 11 it's all the same to them.
@@phuqizm1547 I agree, iphone users have no idea what they are missing. Or maybe the androids are too complex for them. I'm using an LG v40 right now and and the people I work with all have new iPhones and they still are like " how does your phone do that" shrink screen, dual screen for 1 hand use. Download free music.
Amen, bro. Coming from both a video and an audiophile, my V50 is a beast!
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 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.
My LG v20 with my 10,800 mAh battery mod is still going strong today.
How do i get that battery on aliexpress
I just picked up a G7 and at a year and a half old it's still a real monster!!!!
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.
I still have v20....amazing phone not problems. Tomorrow i will get new v50....time to change but still with LG...
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.
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.
Your channel is by far one of the best. Love hearing your opinions.
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.
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.
Note runs circles around it...opinions are kool but facts are facts
@@brandonsmith6962 "note runs circles around" LOL. Where is the notes quad dac? The v40 and v50 dacs can rival 150-200 dollar dacs. I'm never changing brands just based on that alone.
@@SeraphSeph bro those dacs are not that much better than others just hyped up
@@brandonsmith6962
-get a decent pair of headphones (not overpriced trash like beats, monster, nose, etc)
-plug it into your LG, then your Samsung depending on amount of Ohms with an amp.
-never go back to samsung again.
Although the fact that you even said they were close shows you probably own none of that. You probably wear beats or airpods.
@@SeraphSeph nope Akg studio headphones .... they sound good on both ....reverb on the lg....hey they have that....now what about everything else
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.
Just bought on yesterday...in LOVE with it!!! ♥ my dream phone come true haha
Same here 2021 lg
@@JorgeVictoria I am praying so hard that they don't quit their smartphone business :''(
How is your V50?
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.
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
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 ...
Help! This phone or iPhone XR
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
Love this video format with some soft music on the backround. Good job👍
I just bought my LG V50 for under $275.00 including tax and shipping (Late November 2020). Yes, it is now an older model phone, BUT... since 5G is now widely available (I am paying for it on my service and you may be too) this looks like the most cost effective 5G phone I could have purchased. Obviously I am not a tech head or I would want a newer model, but a solid phone that is a little older and is one third to one quarter the cost of the new ones works for me. Thanks for the video. I feel even better about my choice now.
I got a V50 Dual Screen in from South Korea. Holy shit, I agree. Best Device in the world.
As a Samsung fan i am happy to hear our cousins LG are making some good stuff
Just traded in a G8 for the V50, found out once u slap a screen protector on the G8, the internal finger print sensor becomes useless bc it will no longer recognize your finger print. Similar features on both but also the V50 is louder and has better/clearer call quality.
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?
Please do a vs ! V50 or LG8x, im very indecisive what get, i have a g7 and is so fun!
Saludos desde Guatemala.
Watching on my LG g6. I've always sworn by LG. After the mishaps with the g3, g4 they came back with the g5 which IMO was the best phone of its time. Metal back, glass front, "LG friends". I now have the LG G6 I've dropped it on pave in the water, actually dropped it at the gym earlier today on a weight, flipped it over shattered. I was crushed. Then realized it was just my screen protector. Love LG. If the V60 isn't announced soon I'm getting this one.
LG user for long time. LG Optimus 2X was the first phone with dual core processor. It was my first LG. I had G flex 2,awesome phone, to bad LG dropped it. It would be nice if they continued with Flex series. Also had V20, amazing phone with second screen. Now using V30. After one year still rocks like the first day. Its beast. Battery can last up to 2 days with out any problems. Headphone jack, nothing comparable to it. V50 is dream that will come true one day, I hope. LG is the best value for money.
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.
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.
With the S20 just confirmed with feature regression, this is looking more and more attractive.
You think LG is underrated I give you another.. Sony. My wife has the LG v35 I had the v20 and i recently bought the Sony Xperia 1 for it's camera capabilities . The LG and Sony both take amazing pictures. Sony has a slight edge at the moment. Can't wait to see the v60.
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
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.
I stop buying LG phones after the 1st one I bought. I was in highschool worked all summer and bought the LG V10 just to get the bootloop in 4 months switched to Samsung since then but I'm planning to upgrade this year so I'm open for anything.
Looks like LG just hired Painfully Honest Tech.....
If only they did better on other areas of marketing their phones
LG is too cheap to hire anyway in marketing. Its the only reason their phones dont do well. LG are like Subaru cars. They are great and have a loyal customer base. They wont outsell their competition but their loyal customers will remain for life.
Yeah this felt like a commercial
@@maxonmendel5757 why ? A free plug for a bad ass device. I rock the v40 and I can tell you it shits on my note 8 that I sold . shits on my 8 plus too. Only phone I use more is the pixel 3 XL. Because its just smooth as butter.
Love the video mate. I absolutely 100% agree with everything you have said here. I have the V50 myself and had the V30 before that without doubt the best phones I have had. Like you say the V50 retains all of the great features of past phones like the headphone jack but also adds new technology like 5g and it also came with the dual screen in my region which is actually useful! and a great way to get into the foldable phone space, it's like having 2 phones for the price of one!. I think it's the perfect balance of new and 'old' technology and kudos to lg for not becoming sheep and following every other phone maker in the Android space just to make extra money. Once again would like to say great job with the channel and I look forward to more great painfully honest content. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
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.
I'm the proud owner of a LG G8x because AT&T didn't offer the V50, which is downright criminal. LG is by far the most underrated OEM and I love the LG devices I've owned. The dual screen is super handy when you need it and when I don't, I just remove it. I have gotten more questions about the G8x than any other phone I've used and people are amazed. I kinda wish I had the V50 but maybe the V60 will hit AT&T in 2020.
I'm still using a V30. Continues to get the job done. Never had much problem from LG. Definitely love the quad dac.
I've had my v40 since a bit after the US release. To me it's just an okay phone. The selfie camera is such a disappointment. Rear shooter is okay. The speaker setup is average also. When I get to place it on a hollow surface it's decent but more often than not, I prefer stereo speakers. Battery life usually gets me through the day,but it's not good enough. Then there are the minor software issues that just annoy me sometimes like not being able to adjust the slider when the display is in auto more.
The v50 has got to be quite the upgrade for me to consider it a great phone, much less the "best".
Correction: Samsung still has manual photo mode, but no manual video
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
LG V50 is a beast. Can't deny that, huge improvement on cameras, performance and battery life. Plus, that dual screen aspect is interesting and functional.
Now my problem with LG in general, regionalism (if that's a word).
The V50 disabled FM Radio (especially on Australian / European model in which I own, yet the American version can enable it by downloading the native FM app or NextRadio from the external sources). I am disappointed coz that's my app to go when I wanna listen news, music and talkback and save data and battery. It is such a shame also ehen they've misleading their specification that the app was included. I also heard that V40 has the same issue.
If they wanna focus on audio-centric and listening experience, they should include that app. Just saying.
Also with audio, whilst V50 has a bit of a richer sounds on wired headphones, it sounds quieter compare to my V30.
I guess this is my own take Painful Review for LG.
They are probably doing the "If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them" and leaning on joining the league of "Let's chop all the analogue components to make money on wireless sh*t".
Now I am worry about the future of their newer flagships.
Hey J!! Thanks again for following up with the LG V50! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I still rock my LG v30 and it been great (Nova launcher installed obviously). Seriously looking at v50 as a potential upgrade
I know the value of LG phones and yes, the V10 bootloop issue did affect me and my brother-in-law who I convinced to get one. Still, I took another chance with the V20. Solid device. Upgraded to the V30 and I was in love. My favorite one so far in fact. Took a departure with the OnePlus 7 Pro which I'm using now but I'm ready to return to LG with their 2020 offering.
Love v20
had the V10 V20 still rocking the V30
I have an lg g8 and i love it. Quad dac for the win.
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 had the LGv 20 and loved it! I encourage some of my friends to go lg v20 when the note 7 went bye bye, never the less, they were one of the first phone that had wide angle Camara! But no one really cared.. till iPhone 11 came out! Sadly!
GREAT DEVICE!
SJR🤣 👍 👊
The best! One in use now and a new one waiting in the box for later. Happy 2021!
The V50 hasn't come to Iran yet.
But I'm using the Galaxy A70 for 8 months now and i hadn't had any problems with it. In fact thanks to a huge battery i think I'm ganna stick with it for 2 years or longer
If I every have the opportunity I’m gonna have to try it out. Oh and Merry Christmas, Jason!
Fantastic phone player! I own the LG V40 and love it.
Ditto. LGV30+ owner here! Long live good music DAC chip + Headphone Jack. As the great Flossy would say its a Major go.
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.
Especially for the price. Just give it a year and holy shiet it gets really cheap, and you get so much with your money with it ! I'm thinking of upgrading my G6, it still runs awesome and insanely durable, dropped countless times onto tarmac, concrete etc and still holds strong. The few major downsides for me is the slow software/security updates, my G6 still gets security patches and updates but it takes quite some time.
Brother, you always crack me up! Thanks... In this INSANE world you're helping cope!
You missed the LG v50 ThinQ's greatest camera feature 10 Bit recoding in the 4:2:0 HDR10 ColorSpace for videos in both 4K UHD and 1080p FHD on its main camera. I mean 17 stops of Dynamic range on it's video camera is amazing.
Making a flat screen is borrow from Apple now >
love the background music its not a music its a melody I would love to know the name of the melody
I recently bought the LG G8X because the promotion made it cheaper than the V50(with the dual screen case) for me with my carrier. I kinda regret it now, The wide angle selfie cam is important to me I use my phone to record myself doing certain things in order to improve how I do them, weightlifting, martial arts and playing guitar. And now I have to out the phone 5-10 ft further back in order to get the framing right with the single selfie cam.
I've had LG phones for the last several years with Verizon. And this lgv50 has given me nothing but issues as of late. It reboots several times a week randomly, and after the reboot I get no 4 G or 5G signal the Bluetooth then doesn't work oh, and the GPS doesn't work I'm going to making a trip back to the Verizon store to see what they say about it number 8 taking it in once and they said it was the SIM card apparently it's not. This phone that you got me lost for an hour coming home from seeing a friend from an area that I've never been to and because it just decided to reset I had to try to find my way around an area that I didn't know where I was thank you LG!
As a proud LG v40 owner, I am disappointed with the LG v50 for these reasons: no improvement on RAM, no improvement on software updates, no 90hz screen(crossing finger for 120hz next year), and no dual screen case support in US. Personally, I dont care much for selfie and I think LG can ditch the 2nd front camera to have a teardrop notch, although that may interfere with face unlock. I think LG have switched from creating new innovations to perfecting existing tech, which is a bit disappointing but at least we get really solid phones out of it. Next year I hope they come up with a new dual case design to lessen the gap between the two screens and work some extra battery into the case, along with improvements on Ram, battery, refresh rate, and updates. Then they will earn an upgrade from me and hopefully many others.
I got the v40 Im content with it plus the v40 looks exactly like the v50 is it wort upgrading?
Yes.
why?
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.
Thank God! I was thinking about buying the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and I have never even heard of this great phone. I saw it once on MKBHD's Dope Tech video and I have been watching multiple reviews about this phone. I am convinced now, I will definitely buy this phone over the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.
I still have the V10, still works great and love the removal battery
I love my V50 but it is inferior to to Galaxy s10 plus in almost every practical way(except the quad-dac): Screen, Camera, Speakers Design, Updates, UI, etc...
1) LG is the next HTC... So while their phones may be "underrated" if no one buys them, game over.
(2) I appreciate the headphone jack argument, but give it a rest. The market is going wireless. I can't tell you how many people I see on the NYC subway use airpods/Samsung buds/beats.
(3) I wish you'd given examples of "irrelevant features" on the S10 line.
I was a huge HTC fan before they went under. { inspire 4G to the U12+}. When I went looking for another brand I took a hard look at LG. They just... Didn't stand out. Samsung phones looked futuristic by comparison.
This video isn't for you if what you're after in a phone is aesthetics. The V series has never been about being the nicest looking phone on the block, it's definitely a function over form device and doesn't try to hide that in any way while the Galaxy S line tries very hard to look as good as possible for that initial appeal but it's software doesn't live up to the hardware (not saying LG's software is much better, two sides of the same bad coin).
@@ArthurZakaryan23 For what it's worth, I've had no problems with one UI. My phone was just updated for Android 10 this morning. I think in an industry that moves so quickly, there's hardly any time to be just "middle of the road"I just watched MKBHD smart phone awards... Sadly, LG wasn't even mentioned. This video should have been titled "best sleeper phone of the year"
Watching in my LG V50.
My best & favorite, actually I have two, my S10+ & my pixal3a XL. The S10+ has all the premium features & is simply a pleasure to use. The pixal has the best camera in a mid-range phone. Enjoy using both. But I must say I like the LG G8, very good review & respect your opinion's!
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 😁😀
I just finally landed into the LG family with the Amazon Prime Exclusive LG V35 that they still have stock on and had them for a limited time price of $399 before going back up to $899. And I have to say man, I really love it! But i feel bad for my 8gb/512gb unlocked note 9. But I just can't stop using this device.
It also the only phone with 1440p Dolby Vision HDR10+ LGs own P-oled Display tech which is Amoled but based on plastic instead of glass so it's more shatterproof and it's also 590$ unlocked on ebay at this moment
Great Video 👍, very true. Wish people would see the value in LG devices.
I'm currently commenting on my LG V40, and gotta hand it to LG for making the V series really interesting with the quad DAC (which was the reason I wanted to buy the phone in the first place) and a handful of other features worthy of being a flagship. But one thing I see is quite infuriating was the rather sub-par UX and terrible gossips surrounding LG about how bad their phones are.
Luv all my Lg fones Stylo 2 v20 v40 now V50
