LG wasn’t really a top tier brand when it comes to smartphones. However, it all changed when they introduced the V line. Recently, the newest addition has made quite a name for itself. Let’s see what it brings to the table in our LG V30 review.
LG V30 review: Mobile photography powerhouse
Our first impression of the V30 is “this phone looks pretty neat.” The shine from the metallic back gives off a prestigious look. Two circular rings, one marks the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, the other marks the dual camera. Hard, slightly curved frame forms the edges of the device. On the other side, a bezel-less screen boasts a massive 81.2% screen-to-body ratio. Overall, the phone got the look of both a deluxe accessory and a masculine tech gadget.
Regarding hardware, LG brings something unique to the market this time. First, the display is a 6-inches screen QUAD HD resolution. What special about this screen is that it uses P-OLED technology instead of AMOLED. Inside the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset model 835. The LG V30 RAM sports 4GB along with 128GB storage. There is also a 64GB storage option. Both are expandable up to 256GB via MicroSD.
If you love photography, then you will love this handset. The LG V30 Camera features a dual 16+13MP camera. Unlike other flagships, the V30 primary lens has a crystal clear lens instead of a plastic one. In practice, It produces a much more realistic result with darker black and brighter whites. There is also the Cine video feature in the camera mode to help you create professional video contents.
LG V30 launch: to be determined (soon)
The phone was just announced at the IFA show on 31 August. LG has made official statements say that the LG V30 launch is on 21 September in Korea and then other areas. We expect that information about the LG V30 Price will appear in the coming weeks.
