LG V30 specs - PhoneArena

Flawed perfection

Phone owned for less than a year

The LG V30 is, for me, the only real choice for a smartphone due to its (almost) unique ability to drive my high-end headphones. It does everyghing as you would expect any flagship Android device to do, but there are niggles.

The screen, whilst being OLED doesn't come close to those made by Samsung, but it still preferable to an LCD screen. You need to be careful which always-on display you use because the prettiest one is a battery hog, and the internet speed over wi-fi is only 'acceptible'.

On the plus side, its gorgeous in blue and feels much nicer in the hand and in use than current Samsung devices due to its flatter screen. Its also a quick phone that shows me there is no real need to go for a phone with a faster chipset (in fact, LG have slowed the on-screen stuff down, which can be sped up in one of the menu settings).

The camera hardware is good, the software, not so much. Installing the Pixel camera app improves photos markedly.

Overall, I'm really happy with the phone, but just think how much better it could have been with a Samsung panel...
