Looks a great phone. For a 6” screen it doesn’t look that tall, really nice design. Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, SD Card, FM Radio, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes. Nice one.
gumball It's a very good phone, I commented so above. However to have the best multimedia experience there is one essential component. That's the best screen on any phone. It has a good screen but not the best.. I'm not knocking it, it's a great phone at a competitive price.
Enough with the Gray Pixel Hunting! It's like you review guys are running out of crap to say. No issues on V30 with NORMAL USE! Stellar Phone! I do hope that LG doesn't listen too much because it's a great phone and the internet does not speak for all of us.
Love my LGV30. Battery does last longer. Great screen picture. To customize your app icons you do have to get an icon changer app. But absolutely love it.
I'm watching this on my Note8. LG V30 is a really nice phone. It's only letdown is the screen, though it's not overly bad and many people won't notice it. It's certainly good enough and can't be called bad quality. Seeing as it's cheaper than others some people can accept the trade off and it's not a huge trade off either. Thankfully they gave the bad quality screens to Google rather than use them themselves. I think Google have themselves to blame for that. They purposefully bought old generation low quality screens for Pixel 2 XL from the bargain basement. We can't blame LG or Samsung (there're also old gen Samsung screens on Pixel 2) for that. You only get what you paid for. Note8 and LG V30 are the only 2 new flagships worth buying at the moment.
Brian M I have the note 8 too. There really is nothing that's as good as a galaxy for screens. It's almost an unfair comparison to compare anything to a galaxy. I love that wide angle on the V30 though. I have the G6 for a back up for my note. I'd love to add the V30 to my arsenal of devices.
Brian M "Thankfully, they gave the bad quality screens to Google rather than use them themselves. I think Google have themselves to blame for that." If LG gave them the screens, how is Google to blame? You think Google bought faulty screens on purpose? And how do you know this? Do you have a friend who's a Google employee and they told you? Shut up. How did you reach all those assumptions? You people need to chill and stop freaking out over the screens. People have been having issues with their V30's as well. It's an LG problem but Google can fix the colors with a software update. The blue shift is the polarization layer under the screen so you can view it while wearing glasses.
Pratik Gajjar none of the phones have a 3500 battery. That's a dumb reason to dislike the v30. The front face camera I'll give you that and the front speakers are irrelevant because you have a bad ass dac. Most people listen on headphones anyways. Lol.
Just got this second hand for 500€. Had the G6 but selling it and I had to admit this phone is beast! I've had V10 before I bought both G6 and V20 second hand. V20 is a good phone aswell but it feels like V30 is combination of G6 and V20. The size is just perfect! The V30 is the best LG phone so far. Buuy it!
What splotchy area? I don't see anything. I think people are making a big deal out of nothing. When does a phone screen ever show just grey? Although I don't see the splotchy area you speak of??
I have a V30, I absolutely adore it. It is a lot harder to show on camera the issues the display has, but in person it is a lot more clear. In day to day use I never notice it, except when im in bed in low brightness it becomes a lot more apparent, it doesn't show up in only grey, but also white. If I go into my settings at night, or google something at night, it is super obvious.
Yeah, I would say a large majority of the devices have it. Every tech reviewer has had this issue pretty much and so have I and all the other people I have talked to. Use yours at the store and try it out before you buy it. Put the phone on the lowest brightness and load an entirely grey image and check for splotchiness. Keep asking for another until you are given one without a trash display. I got pretty lucky and mine isn't too bad, but some are horrendous. There is just something with LGs displays, it is the reason why the Pixel 2 is catching so much flack, LG made their screen and it is having these issues as well as much worse issues.
superguy4217 Well it's just the start of production. I did see it in store and I looked at a test unit at LG head offices in my country. I turned down the brightness and looked ar a grey screen saw no issues. We are only getting the V30 plus. Which is great. The only thing I noticed was a shift to a blue hue on a white screen but then the same thing happens on a Samsung screen but it is either reddish or greenish. I still think it is a non issue. Most are not going to notice until it was pointed out. It's so silly. The screen is good.
The screen is good, not great. It doesn't hold a candle to the note 8. Secondly it is NOT the start of production. They did preproduction units for months and months and still managed to screw up the screen this poorly. If you didn't see it, then good, it is a non issue for you. For people who think $800 phones should be drop dead absolutely perfect and clean my house for that much, it is a huge issue considering you stare at the screen the entire use of the phone. And no, I noticed it as soon as I got the phone. I ordered it online before the screen hype. And yes of course the test unit they are going to give people in the head offices are going to be their best production units, so no you wouldn't notice issues on one there because they would choose one with the best display to show.
in a camera heavy phone, you spent 1 second on the front camera. everyone says it's very very bad. would love to get more detail and your opinion on it. cheers!
The biggest disappointment with this phone is the speakers. I was shocked when I first put a call on speakerphone, the sound was horrible compared to the S8+. The other disappointment is the front facing camera but other than that this phone is amazing. I love the rear cameras, especially the wide angle camera. Never realized how handy and how much I would end up using the wide angle camera. I just wish LG would of added OIS on all the cameras.
Isaac's Tech I thought the colors were really dull, and it was calibrated way too blue. I'm not a huge fan of LCDs in general, but I wish LG didn't calibrate theirs to be so overly blue.
V30 camera is sharper than the s9 but the s9 low light camera and front camera is way better than the v30. The v30 is a lot cheaper than s9 but both phones are really good.
Noooo the removable battery is gone 😭😭 I loved how I could slap in a extended battery into my LG V20 and it lasts for 1-2 days straight usage, 10 hrs screen on time. Ugggghhh
The v30 display when turned all the way down trying to view images is terrible it shows you blotches of black images which should be lit up to show you it is actually there so disappointed I wanted to love it but my Note 8 still wins and even the Galaxy S line destroy this for less money
I have used gflex 2 so i saw p-oled screen. It really is disgusting. If you care about the screen you look at, you should avoid it. Ofcourse bootloop issue on that phone might have clouded my judgement as well.. :)
I'm very happy with my V30 display. I understand some are reporting issues but there are none here.
Papi Grande
Same here
Papi Grande exact same here
hows the camera? and battery life? im in this or the pixel 2 (non xl)
Francesco alliata Front cam sucks but rear cam is great. Battery life is very good.
Absolutely nothing wrong with my V30 display either.....
Really like this LG V30 and think is the Best of 2017
I Love my V30. It's the best smartphone I've ever had in so many ways. BTW the display on mine is great.
Looks a great phone.

You forgot NFC :")
And high PPI screen.
@@UAInf Good points Even better.
it really is a beautiful iPhone alternative that won't break the bank!
Saqlain Gilani it costs more than an iPhone 8+ with sprint.
It's in the same price range as note 8 and iPhone x
you're right, but i suspect they will be slashing the prices soon considering how they did with the LG G6. but for now $800 is no bargain.
Saqlain Gilani at sprint it's 929.99 +tax
i agree... not worth it!
Best multi media phone not doubt about it
gumball It's a very good phone, I commented so above. However to have the best multimedia experience there is one essential component. That's the best screen on any phone. It has a good screen but not the best.. I'm not knocking it, it's a great phone at a competitive price.

Beats paying 1k for the IPhone X. I'm buying the V30 soon.
I have that floating bar in my g6 just download it on the play store its exactly the same
But what about the camera sensor? The v20 has a very noisy sensor that limits the viability of long exposures.
is it the best smartphone for filmmaking now?
Mateusz Sokolnicki yes
Absolutely yes 👍
why is there a different logo on the back.. let me know please

Stop smoking bro ! Wake up !
Nice review !
in a camera heavy phone, you spent 1 second on the front camera. everyone says it's very very bad. would love to get more detail and your opinion on it. cheers!
It's not how long it lasts each day it's how long before your battery has a mishap and swells or doesn't hold a charge anymore
How the camera? Most important part for me!
The new Siri Great Best camera on the market
James Smith buying it.
The biggest disappointment with this phone is the speakers. I was shocked when I first put a call on speakerphone, the sound was horrible compared to the S8+. The other disappointment is the front facing camera but other than that this phone is amazing. I love the rear cameras, especially the wide angle camera.

Is this video made of resolution 360p ? Y am I seeing such low resolution on IP 7 plus
Kiran Devraaj Because you have an iPhone.
4:38 that kinda made me laugh
What about the LG G5? Does everyone forget about it's dual cameras and removable battery? That's my current phone.
Isaac's Tech I owned the G5 and hated it. Cheap build quality, garbage display, and subpar camera. I was glad to get rid of it.
timg2727 I dunno man. I picked it up for 235 bucks and love this phone. It's not worth 500+ though.
timg2727 And the display is very high rated, too.
Isaac's Tech I thought the colors were really dull, and it was calibrated way too blue. I'm not a huge fan of LCDs in general, but I wish LG didn't calibrate theirs to be so overly blue.
timg2727 Yeah, it's not perfect. However, if you think the G5 screen is too blue, the Pixel is much much worse.
I doubt anybody will miss the secondary screen.
what about screen burn-ins?
how long did it take before you noticed any?
there are many exciting and effective teeth whitening products available today!
Please give me that v30 please....😭😭😢😢😢😢
No ir blaster, no dual sim and no removable battery?
Will the average everyday user really be put off by the intermittent screen issues?
no it's all BS, these flag ship phones are all pretty great. Nit pick away and you will never decide V30 all day!
how can the LG V30 be lighter the then the G6, it's just not right!
mattrc77 Glass is lighter than metal back
Tactical Gamer the g6 has glass too...
V30 camera is sharper than the s9 but the s9 low light camera and front camera is way better than the v30. The v30 is a lot cheaper than s9 but both phones are really good.
Can LG V30 remorte a TV like LG G series ?
no
Only andro potato a.k.a xiaomi have the remote app
@@oktavianbayupurnama4610 LG G4 had remote.
Help! Iphone 8 or V30?!
V30 all day
V30 or s8 plus which is better
sakeerhussain im The S8+ is $200 cheaper
the V30 ...and this is coming from someone who has owned their S8 since May. The S8 will absolutely get laggy after the first month.
sunny eclectech I have s8 since july and is still fast as it was on first day.I have also lot of apps...I dont get how your s8 is laggy...
Niksi Piksi take it in a store and compare opening apps with it against a V30 or Pixel then tell me it's still fast.
sunny eclectech I compared it vs note 8 which is faster than those two.And s8 is amazing lmfao...
If only it had a better front facing camera, I would consider it; I’ll keep my V10 for now.
great review
Why do people care about accurate colours when oled offers super vivid images
Lg is new in the screen business and they didn't do it well...just look at the Pixel 2 XL
Why does this video sound like someone reading a press release?
Noooo the removable battery is gone 😭😭 I loved how I could slap in a extended battery into my LG V20 and it lasts for 1-2 days straight usage, 10 hrs screen on time. Ugggghhh
Blade Mastr
This battery lasts way longer.. just buy a battery bank to top off lol
"Front Camara is decent"? First one who says that.. hmm
This is one Dam good phone!
Does V in LG V30 stands for V*g*na?
great video Stephen. thanks!
Hmmmm brush brush bruah 3x a day... Man
Stephan, you got assimilated.
No dual speakers, hard to switch from an iPhone 8 plus. Really want the screen. Androids sms is also horrible so that's also hard to let go.
wat, thats like saying why need a boat when you have a good car lol. Those accomplish entirely different goals.
there are loads of different sms apps for android. the stock sms, hangouts. Heck you can even use facebook messenger for sms now!

You can get textra

not even close - way to set your opinion in stone and not progress.
