We're spoilt for choice when it comes to premium-quality smartphones, with the LG V30, as well as the larger LG V30 Plus, being very worthy to this exclusive club. In terms of dazzling features, the V30 ticks a lot of boxes, including these ones!


A Big Screen Experience

The V30 pushes the screen right out to the edges in truly eye-catching style. More than 80% of the front surface area is made up of screen, which hosts a big, clear resolution of 1,440 x 2, 880.


A Near Cinematic Experience

Probably the biggest feature of the screen is what you can watch on it! HDR10 (High Dynamic Range) support means you can enjoy HDR content of cinematic quality from sources including Amazon and Netflix.


A Vastly Improved Camera

The improvements in the V30's camera are in fact so substantial, that it could well be considered the best smartphone camera you can get. It's certainly right up there, thanks to a 16-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel wide-angle camera and HDR video, where much attention has focussed on upgrading the shooting, editing and sharing tools.


Sounds Wonderful Too

In recent years, LG phones have made a name for striking audio quality, and the V30 keeps that reputation intact...in fact, it probably enhances it! Put this down to Hi-Fi Quad DAC which basically makes music sound less digital and "tinny", and far more rich and deep, like real music should sound!


Those Important Internals

Some high-quality components inside the V30 deliver the mind-blowing stuff you can see and hear in the V30, with Snapdragon 835 and Android 7.1 Nougat being prominent features of the V30's operational platform.

Love LG!

This is a great phone. I was torn between this and the LG G6, since my previous phone was an LG G3. Ultimately I chose the V30. My only issues is the microphone location - I find myself covering up the microphone with a finger with making a phone call and the person on the other end has to ask if...

Review: LG V30+ smartphone

In Australia, LG has pushed its G-series phone as its flagship model while the more-refined V-series has been hard to source. But now the company has officially released a souped-up V30 to these shores and it looks impressive.

LG V30 review: groundbreaking phone with a deal-breaking flaw

And funk and punk. And rap and rock. And jazz and blues. This is the best-sounding smartphone that's ever been made, and it also has LG's finest industrial design to date. The V30 is distinctive, modern, and stacked with desirable features, a phone seemingly destined for inevitable stardom.
Pros:
  • Best headphone audio from a phone
  • Ergonomically excellent
  • Uncompromising spec sheet includes wireless charging and water resistance
  • Impressive speed and battery life
Cons:
  • The display is distractingly bad
  • Bloatware
  • bloatware as far as the eye can see
  • Camera doesn't produce the most lifelike images

There have been a lot of ‘almost great’ smartphone releases in 2017, and the LG V30 is another such example. There’s a lot of great, if not excellent things about this phone, but at the same time there are a couple of issues that, in the face of strong competition, are hard to ignore.
Pros:
  • Beautiful design with an expansive, small-bezel display
  • Packed with features including Gigabit LTE, high-quality DAC, water resistance, microSD expansion and headphone jack
  • Excellent rear cameras
Cons:
  • LG’s p-OLED display technology needs work
  • Unimpressive, clunky and bloated software

It has been in the market for quite a while now but unfortunately, it has not been able to set its feet in the smartphone world like some of the other companies have. Yes, we are talking about LG. It is a brand that has been around but is invisible, especially of late, to many of us for some reason.
Pros:
  • Premium Design
  • Great Hardware
  • Excellent multimedia
  • Camera captures good details
Cons:
  • Android Nougat (still!
  • Overwhelming UI
  • Not so great selfie camera

LG V30 Smartphone Review

With the LG V30, the Koreans have made quite an effort, producing the smartphone that many had already wished for during MWC. It brings all the missing features, which were lacking in the LG G6 to become an absolutely high-end product: a current top SoC, a quad-DAC audio-chip, and wireless charging.

LG V30 Review

LG's big-screen V30 lets you roam farther and capture wider images than other smartphones. The LG V30 (available on all five major US carriers for around $800, as well as unlocked) is the best phone for a big world. It has a wide-angle camera for when you have a large family or too many friends to crowd into a standard photo. And it allows you to go farther afield on T-Mobile than any other phone, thanks to support for the carrier's new Band 71, 600MHz network. The V30 is a big step forward for LG, and comes close to unseating the Samsung Galaxy S8 as our Editors' Choice, but is ultimately held back by a few little things. A Familiar Face Design-wise, the V30 ($800.00 at T-Mobile) goes for the curved glass that's been so popular on the Galaxy S8. Unlike the LG G6, which has a flat front with a metal frame around it, the glass here protrudes like it does on other phones. The V20's removable back and battery are, alas, gone. Instead, the phone has a shiny, IP68 waterproof metal unibody, with a clear plastic coating over the silver back. It meets the MIL-STD-810G spec for...
Pros:
  • Dual cameras, one ultra-wide angle
  • Gigabit LTE
  • First phone for T-Mobile's new 600MHz network
  • Well-placed fingerprint sensor
Cons:
  • Applies too much noise reduction in low-light photos
  • Battery life isn't great
