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...

Am just giving a review what i felt about Lgv30 from my last 3 weeks experience. My previous experience with LG was nexus 5 and LG g30. Which i love and used for more than 3 years fully. Both had issue with the display.

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.

The LG V30 is a smartphone with amazing looks. And while it's not the most innovative thing out there in terms of features, it's on the whole very compelling.

Good performance; Practical Always-on-display; Easy to handle

Mediocre display; Slow HDR mode

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.

Best headphone audio from a phone; Ergonomically excellent; Uncompromising spec sheet includes wireless charging and water resistance; Impressive speed and battery life

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.

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

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

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

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
