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.

LG V30 review

The V30 isn’t just a G6 refined with a combination of glass and metal. It feels focused, because it scraps the gimmicks the V-series used to be known for. Media-friendly upgrades like the quad-DAC give it a real sound step-up over any other smartphone you can buy right now, and performance was never in doubt thanks to that Snapdragon CPU. Camera quality isn’t fantastic, but the second wide-angle sensor at least makes it a versatile companion for anyone with the travel bug. If only the OLED screen was as striking as the all-glass design. As it stands, display quality just isn’t up to the same high standards as the rest of the smartphone world. Seeing how the screen is the one thing you look at every time you use your phone, this misstep is difficult to ignore - but if you get lucky and find a handset with a decent panel, there’s still a lot to like here.
Pros:
  • Phenomenal sound quality
  • Gorgeous design
  • Versatile dual-lens camera
Cons:
  • One of the weakest OLED screens around
  • Camera quality still not up there with the best

LG V30

On paper, the V30 has the features to make any movie or music fan salivate - but it only fully delivers in one of those areas. An uprated DAC makes the difference to audio, giving it an edge over its Android rivals.However, the OLED screen doesn't cope as well with HDR video as its rivals.
Pros:
  • Lovely sound
  • Adaptable dual-lens camera
  • Premium design
  • Skinny screen bezel
Cons:
  • HDR video quality not up to snuff
  • Camera doesn't rival the competition

It's not quite clear when this happened. Nor is it clear whether or not this was some kind deliberate marketing move on part of LG or whether it was an early observation by the tech press that found its momentum as an informal tag-line for the device. Regardless, label is nothing if not apt.
Pros:
  • Great camera app
  • Featureset covers all the bases
Cons:
  • Kinda average camera
  • Nougat

Excellent Note 8 Alternative

Never owned an LG phone but decided to give the V30 a shot based on the positive reviews I have seen online. Not a tad bit disappointed thus far! Screen is fantastic, small bezels make viewing videos and pictures a great experience.

LG V30+

The LG V30 is one of our favorite phones , because its wide-angle camera offers a very different perspective on the world than the single or 2x cameras you find on other smartphones.
Pros:
  • Audiophile-friendly output
  • Superior Sprint network performance
  • Lots of storage
  • Wide-angle camera
Cons:
  • Models can't be easily moved between carriers
  • Screen and camera don't quite measure up to Galaxy Note 8
  • Expensive

LG V30+ review

If you've been holding out for a smartphone that doesn't put the squeeze on useful features, but does the opposite, filling it to the brim with utilities, you might have thought you'd be waiting an eternity. But actually, the LG V30+ is that very phone.
Pros:
  • Streamlined design
  • Crammed with features
  • Interesting camera improvements
Cons:
  • Doesn't launch with Android Oreo
  • Display viewing angles shift colour
  • No portrait mode on the camera

LG V30

The V30 is LG's latest flagship device and it offers a whole load of features that wouldn't find anywhere else. It's a great phone, but one that appears to have lost some of its lustre as a result of the delayed release.
Pros:
  • Loads of features
  • Stunning audio
  • The nicest looking LG phone yet
Cons:
  • Screen isn't great
  • Stuck on Android 7
  • LG's software is still ugly

Beautiful phone with excellent specs

I Bought the V30 2 weeks ago and for the moment I'm very happy. I was afraid because in all the reviews they were complaining about the view angles of the display. In this 2 weeks I didn't feel any blue colour in the display or any other issue.
