The editors didn't like
Glass back prone to scratching

Camera is good but not great
Selfie camera is bad
Could be cheaper
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

This verdict would be best summed up by asking a simple question: Should you buy this phone? The answer is “Yes,” if not having purely stock Android doesn't bother you at all. Everything else about the device is pretty spot on, and when you look at the wh...

Add it all up, and Samsung's phones remain a cut above, sharing top honors for design and display. The Galaxy S8+ gets the nod over the Note 8, because it's a little less expensive and you're more likely to find a deal on this slightly older phone. Even i...

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
Chris Velazco/EngadgetWhen I first took the V30 for a spin, I was surprised by my own optimism. At last, LG had made a phone that seemed to tick all the right boxes. After more prolonged testing, I'm not quite as enamored -- thanks mostly to its questiona...
Vseries tech in a more mainstream, comfortable design, Powerful camera paired with some successful software, Fastest LG phone all year, Great battery life
Unexpected quality issues with display, Some Vfans will miss the secondary screen, Speaker is underwhelming
This year, LG's V-phone feels like it occupies a different spot in the company's lineup than it has in the past. It's not quite the phablet version of a mainstream flagship, nor a chance for the manufacturer to experiment with unusual new hardware.Rounded...
