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...

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.

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.

The LG V30 has everything an Android fan could wish for (apart from stock Android)

Good low light shooting and wide angle feature; Great audio quality for listening and recording; Beautiful; yet durable design

Still some camera imperfections; Slightly bloated software experience; Could be slimmer

The laundry list of positives on the V30 are absolutely staggering to say the least, and the V30 offers more bang for your buck in more areas than most smartphones can claim. It's not the cheapest phone available, but it's also not the most expensive flagship out there either, all while not...

Front facing camera isn't good; Low light photos can be a bit dark on auto mode

A strong competitor for 2017's best Android phone.

OLED screen; Highly creative video mode; Wide-angle camera; Superb audio; Great battery life

Lacking video and photo editing features; Screen edges very sensitive; No unlocked version yet

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. Breakthroughs like dual lenses and the ever-popular Portrait Mode have done an admirable job of condensing the capabilities...

Slim; light design; Delightful wide-angle camera; Immersive display; Excellent audio from the Quad DAC; Headphone jack

Mono bottom-firing speaker; LG software learning curve; Poor battery life

I've been using a LG V30 for a couple months, check out my first impressions , and last week a T-Mobile retail version arrived while the V30 finally hit store shelves. If you use your phone for video creation and you still enjoy music through a standard 3.5mm audio jack then the V30 is the best...

Elegant design and superb feel in hand; Fun and creative video tools; High quality dual rear cameras; 3.5 mm headset jack with Quad DAC; Long battery life; Future proof on T-Mobile with 600 MHz support

Auto-brightness is wonky; Price is about $100 too high; Doesn't launch with Android 8.0 Oreo
