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.

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.

Streamlined design; Crammed with features; Interesting camera improvements

Doesn't launch with Android Oreo; Display viewing angles shift colour; No portrait mode on the camera

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.

Lovely sound; Adaptable dual-lens camera; Premium design; Skinny screen bezel

HDR video quality not up to snuff; Camera doesn't rival the competition

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.

Loads of features; Stunning audio; The nicest looking LG phone yet

Screen isn't great; Stuck on Android 7; LG's software is still ugly

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.

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.

Great camera app; Featureset covers all the bases

Kinda average camera; Nougat

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.
