My cell phone is LG V40. Because I am Korean, I use Samsung or LG cell phone a lot. I like V40 so I use it well. It is good to see foreigners reviewing Korean products like this.^^ haha
The V40 was my phone from December 2018 until August 2019. Freaking amazing phone . I really think that they are vastly underrated. Been using LG since the flip phone days. I have never been disappointed by them . I really do miss the phone, but I had to get the Note 10+
@@NathanHallGadgetsGreatness Not much better from what I've experienced at most 8-10% improvement over this. V50 is 20%. In other words this phone is too early for replacement with current gen.
Great review. I may not agree with your criticism of the software but I respect your preference. Personally I value battery over looks. I keep all my phone to 720p. I have my Samsung at 720 p resolution. Love the camera on the lg phones
I have this phone but when I connect you to my iMac I'm able to transfer my videos but they look pretty bad for some reason, but when I connect it to a Windows PC the videos look nice. Would you happen to know why?
So about flat panels: I have been using flat panels for all the phones, sold my LG G7 for Samsung note 8 and the curve is really annoying while i m watching videos. Too much content on the screen cuts on edges and the shine from curve is the most annoying...So i sold my Note 8 and bought LG V40...and man i can't be more happy while watching any video on this screen. Never go go for curved edge display. Just a gimmick.
The manual camera mode quad Dac poled display build quality and how light it is... I fell hard for an LG which I haven't had since the flip phone days... The V series are amazing if u like videos n music it's your best option you can adjust shutter speed white balance etc.. it has a pro mode for videos that put others to shame... Cough cough samsung...
I recently had to file an insurance claim my nephew dropped a heavy wrench on my V 40 & jacked the screen up 199 dollars and insurance through asurion I got brand spanking crispy new one and get 6/7 hrs easy.. Was gonna get the 60 but nah I need quad HD plus

I have the same phone and my phone lasts all day long with 40 percent at the end of the day. Who in the world has a job that they can be on their phone all day anyway? I use mine on the high resolution and it lasts
If anyone knows how to remote video record on this phone please let me know It's a disappointment that apparently you can only remote photograph, which is useless for a phone that's marketed for content creation
@@formless4541 Thier is a timer for taking pics...but for recording video I don't think you can do that what your talking about..If you could the phone would have come with a remote control.,..unless your talking about a remote control built into the phone like older lg phones had..where you could use the remote to control your TV just like a regular control

what i think about flat screens? Well let me tell you. Who ever made this curved screen thing is enemy of all users. Pure idiot or pure evil/devil. We buy LCD for flat screen. CRT was out of date. So shy? Why are you going back? There is no advantage to curved/2,5D etc screens. Curved glass is more fragile ( the part you bend become thinner. ) More expensive. Hard to repair. Some will say edges are smooth. Duh?! For Note2 and LG G3 i was using 2.5D edge tempered glass. You made it flat, if i want to make it 2.5D, it it my decision. Bended edge phones, pure idiotism.
The worst thing you said in this review is when you said “I speak American” 😡😩 But you did backtrack and said straightway “i speak English” 👍 So, I forgive you....
These people on here are a joke....the LGV20 was, and still is the best LG phone. Every bit of tech and hardware ALWAYS ....works- 3 years later. With a beautiful bright LCD display the V20 is much, much better than the V40,s dim washed out whites display. Its a garbage display. The LGV20 has usb-c display out, the V40 does NOT. Screen sharing on the V20 works flawlessly every time, the V40,s does not WORK ATT ALL.....The V40 is constantly warm( brand new )there for drawing down the battery life, and the battery life is poor! 5-6 hrs , maybe? The V20 has The that innovative and very useful second screen, The V40 has a second screen that does NOTHING , it's useless, how can they even call it a second screen ? The V40 loads all web pages slower than the V20 and the V30. Even LG,s Smart Home app loads slower on the V40. The V40 camera stutters, it's slower than the V20 too. These guys NEVER EVER test the hardware and real functionality of any of these devices. They basically just waste oxygen talking about what everyone can read online anywhere , it's joke, they are a joke. DO NOT BUY THE V40. This phone is major disappointment.......it might be worth $200.00 at some point but I doubt it. As a matter of fact until LG gets there act together and builds a GREAT phone, instead of rushing inferior products to market just to race the competition. Stay away from LG completely.
And you know this how? ... That's BS. I had the V20 and while it was the best phone I ever owned, is definitely not for the reason you mentioned. Is because the phone was ahead of its time. You could have it now and it still doesn't lag, mine never did even though I put through heavy usage. But the V40 is a faster phone, does not get warm AT ALL and the battery does last longer, although the fact that the V20's was removable is a plus, way better. But the V40 is not slow in any way, you gotta hold one first before you talk about it. Had the V20 till I bought the V40 and while I miss removable battery and IR blaster, the speed is not something you will hear me complain about.
I owened the v20, v30 and now v40. And the LCD display was ok but no way better than the v40's. The display on the v40 is light years ahead of the v20. And at the end of my time with the v20 mines started to stutter and lag a little. I didn't have the same problem with my v30 and definitely not with my v40. Camera quality is better in my opinion on the v40. Ext speaker is also better on the v40.

Your cars were shit... Kias but LG is awesome
@@kevinwhiting8391 ^^;;;;;
Funny how LG was 1st with wide angle camera but get Zero credit. Now everyone else copied LG with triple cameras.
Facts
Lg hs been innovative in many areas too. Like the full view display.
Once you go wide angle and Hi-Fi quad DAC with a quality jack you won't go back n that's fac mac
😁 🤣 😂 😂
LG gets almost NO LOVE from the larger tech community.
Thank you so much. Just got this phone and hated the lack of dark theme. You just made this phone 100% better!!

That's why I decided on the Pixel 2 XL. It came with 8 and right after I started it it updated to 10.
How about pwm? Eyes tired so much?

Agree.... I hate curve screen. Looks nice but for use and texting I rather have a flat screen.
For sure..it was a fun fad but it's time is over!
The LG Dark theme is called night mode in developer settings
Yah I love the flat screen 🖥
hello lg g8 and lg v40 lowlight thank you
Jabber tech, exactly what case that your using? It looks blue covering a black phone yet clear at the same time
Check my video description, I think I put it there

My lg v40 downloads apps by it self how can i stop that?
Turn off automatic updates
flat panel is my fav. I really hate the curvy edges
For sure. Look at the OP7, that curve is horrible and a glare monster
I hear you. Curve screens are crap to protect and weak AF
For LG getting a update means buying a Newer LG. V50 comes with Pie. ( so did G8)
Pie for V40 is actually rolling out right now along with G7
everyone but fucking t mobile and sprint got it, its pretty frustrating
@@therealjim t mobile finally got it. Not Sprint yet tho. Goddamn
Is there anyway I can record a 4k for longer than 6 minutes? do I have to ask someone to press the record button again? XD
It's a Samsung panel that's why it's so great. My Pixel has an LG panel, and has the tint thing. But honestly,,in use you don't even see it.
What kind of launcher are you using????
Nova
I've been on pie since July no lie my guy...

Yez
Are you Moroccan?
i send phone on lowlight i best p30 pro price very very but lg i m fan
Android 9 fixed a serious security vulnerability which patches can't. So LG needs to go to Pie to protect it's customers.
