LG V30 64GB
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 LG V30 is a handset with powerful attributes that define a high-end device: amazing display, excellent industrial design, a very good camera and a very fast processor and connectivity.
The LG V30 is a beautiful and easy-going phone, despite all the packed-in features. Our initial tests proved it works like a dream and feels super simple to use, offering a brilliantly huge screen and high-quality camera in a small, slim chassis; something that most of its rivals are still unable to...
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.
All screen
We finally got our hands on a retail unit and we used it to re-run all of our tests - we've updated the relevant review sections.
FullVision Display The LG V30 has a super-large 6" QHD+ OLED FullVision Display. The screen has a 2:1 aspect ratio with 2880 x 1440 pixels. Although the screen is bigger than its predecessors (LG V20 / 5.7"), the phone itself is smaller, thanks to the new bezel-less design.
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...- Dual cameras, one ultra-wide angle
- Gigabit LTE
- First phone for T-Mobile's new 600MHz network
- Well-placed fingerprint sensor
- Applies too much noise reduction in low-light photos
- Battery life isn't great

LG V30 Review: A Near Masterpiece for Media Producers
The camera has become the defining facet of high-end smartphones, perhaps more than any other feature. New handsets are compared first on the basis of their photography skills.
