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+ mobile review: The new flagship smartphone is priced at Rs 44,990 and here's how it performed in our tests.

With big phones increasing in popularity, the LG V30 lands in a space that's more competitive than ever before. The Samsung Galaxy S8+ and the Note 8 are particular rivals and there's competition from devices like the (more affordable) Huawei Mate 10 Pro .

Great design and build; Waterproofing; 3.5mm headphone socket and headphones sound great thanks to Quad DAC; Wide-angle camera; Good battery life; Good fingerprint sensor placement

Display isn't the best quality out there; Some software quirks (failed Bluetooth) and bloat apps; Camera performance could be better in some areas

My last 3 phones have all been LG, this is the one that's truly got peoples attention. The great specs with almost perfectly design have delivered and probably worth forking out the asking price to be honest.

The V30 is a really good phone in a sea of great ones, and it just doesn't do enough to stand out from the crowd.

Compact design; great battery life; and top-of-the-line specs; Camera app brings excellent features and shooting modes; Quad DAC offers superior sound...

Display is inconsistent and duller than other OLEDs; UX 6.0+ skin doesn't improve on the Android experience; Image quality isn't as good as its peers

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.

Audiophile-friendly output; Superior Sprint network performance; Lots of storage; Wide-angle camera

Models can't be easily moved between carriers; Screen and camera don't quite measure up to Galaxy Note 8; Expensive

Somewhere along the line, LG’s V30 became ‘the videographer’s smartphone’.

The V-series has always been LG’s playground for the more ambitious fare left out of their more-mainstream flagship G-series - and all the better for it. The V30 continues that trend in good form.

Great camera app; Featureset covers all the bases;

Kinda average camera; Nougat;

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.

Premium Design; Great Hardware; Excellent multimedia; Camera captures good details

Android Nougat (still!; Overwhelming UI; Not so great selfie camera

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.

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

LG’s p-OLED display technology needs work; Unimpressive, clunky and bloated software

The LG V30+ has as much storage as anyone needs and all the specs, but the execution needs a lot of work.

Best smartphone audio today; Excellent design

Poor camera by flagship standards; Average performance; Unreliable display
