The editors didn't like
Glass back prone to scratching

Front facing camera isn't good
Low light photos can be a bit dark on auto mode
Back of the phone feels “hollow”
Some people may complain about the slight blue tint on the display when not viewed straight on
Yeah
It's not good. Dingy whites
Uneven tone
Banding across the panel
And Pixel 2 XLlike blue shifts put this screen at the bottom of the premium phone pile
LG's distinctly intense image processing looks nice on the V30's screen. It looks way too agg
No removable battery
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
Sub-par selfie camera
Display is not the best in business
Photos by Raj Rout
Models can't be easily moved between carriers
Screen and camera don't quite measure up to Galaxy Note 8
Expensive
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
Pricey
Single
Tinny down-firing speaker
P-OLED display has some issues
The display is distractingly bad
Bloatware
Bloatware as far as the eye can see
Camera doesn't produce the most lifelike images
Mono bottom-firing speaker
LG software learning curve
Poor battery life
The camera is very good
But can't compete with the absolute top smartphones. Glass design will require a case
And the rear coating picks up gunk. $800+ is a lot to pay for a phone
Unexpected quality issues with display
Some Vfans will miss the secondary screen
Speaker is underwhelming
Software could still be improved
Front facing camera quality lags behind competitors

Solidly constructed body, Superb camera performance, Speedy Processor, Bright and crisp display
A tad expensive, Lack of conventional power button not for everyone
Is the LG V30+ a fair bit more than the LG G6 at R15 649? Yes it is, but for good reason. Each element of the device has been fine tuned to deliver a solid overall performance that the G6 just misses the mark on. When you're dropping that much money on a...
The LG V30+ was designed for a purpose. It's not meant to be the Jack of all trades, but rather the definitive video and audio smartphone. It may not have a camera that allows it to hang with the big boys of mobile photography or screen queens, but at the...
Abstract: The 6-inch 18:9 QHD P-OLED display is just as amazing as the Samsung's AMOLED. The display is visible under direct sunlight and OLED display are good for power management. We observed colour shift issue, this exists on all P-OLED based display including G...
Abstract: MWC 2018 is now over and it brought some new devices and also some. improved devices. In the case of LG we got the latter type of phone - the LG V30S ThinQ and not the LG G7. So to recap, what has the V30S ThinQ improved in the LG V30 - well it comes in...

Grainy Screen, Low Camera Quality, Average battery life, Average performance
I was most excited about this smartphone when I finally got it in my hands. I've been using it for a month and feel less obsessed with smartphone due to all the things that bugged me about the device. It feels great to hold but a smartphone that doesn't p...
Beautiful design, Cine Mode in camera, Powerful performance
