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;

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

I just want a phone that does everything. Is that too much to ask? I want a sleek, durable handset that's practically all screen. A device with gobs of performance, loooong battery life, an amazing camera and a headphone jack.

The LG V30 almost has it all: a great camera; speedy processor; huge OLED screen; excellent battery life; waterproofing; wireless charging; microSD storage and the best headphone jack on a phone

Ergonomic quirks can make the V30 awkward to hold; You may miss some shots due to slow camera autofocus; Carrier-specific versions come with annoying bloatware and logos

LG devices often get overshadowed by its bigger rivals, but its new V30 insists you pay attention to it. It's an elegant, well-built device with powerful performance and some of the best audio quality we've ever heard out of a smartphone.

Excellent; water-resistant design; Strong performance; Flexible; powerful video features; It sounds fantastic

Screen appears gritty at low brightness; Low-light camera performance could be better; Middling battery life

Best phone for camera and display

Display; Rear Camera; Battery backup is really awesome; Fullview app scaling option; Fast charging; Dust water resistant; Slim and sleek design feels better in hand

Selfi camera 5mp no portrait mode

In its third iteration the LG V series continues its focus on audio, photography, and videography. The LG V30 takes this experience to a whole new level with a Hi-Fi Quad DAC and a camera that is packed with features.

Beautiful glass/metal design Display is vibrant and sharp Wireless Charging Hi-Fi Quad DAC IP68/MIL-STD-810G rating All day battery life A feature-rich camera experience MicroSD expansion

Software could still be improved Front facing camera quality lags behind competitors

I have mixed feelings about LG range of smartphones. Over the previous two years, the company has had a rough time of competing with the likes of Apple and Samsung with their flagship G-series range of smartphones.

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
