Camera is good but not great
Selfie camera is bad

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
Abstract: There are so many good phones to choose from including the Galaxy S9, iPhone X and Google Pixel 2 but which one is the king of the castle? See our full ranking below. When choosing a phone you probably have a mixture of these factors on your list: build...
There's a lot to like about the V30 becuase it's like LG has taken the G6 and upgraded it in key areas and even refined the already sleek design. Now the price is a more reasonable £599 we can highly recommend this phone which offers excellent design, scr...
Camera isn't industry-leading, UI needs a complete overhaul, Price
Although the company took some time to bring the V30+ to India, the pricing is right on point. Still, we wouldn't recommend you get one because of the many problems the phone comes with. The camera on board needs improvement and the UI needs a complete ov...

Streamlined design, Crammed with features, Interesting camera improvements
Doesn't launch with Android Oreo, Display viewing angles shift colour, No protrair mode on the camera
The LG V30+ is a confident step forward, not just for LG's experimental smartphone branch, but for its flagship devices in general. Simply put, this is LG's best in recent memory and as a result, it's also one of 2017's best smartphones...
HDR video quality not up to snuff, Camera doesn't rival the competition,
On paper, the V30 has the features to make any movie or music fan salivate - but it only fully delivers in one of those areas. An uprated DAC makes the difference to audio, giving it an edge over its Android rivals.However, the OLED screen doesn't cope as...

Great design and build, waterproofing, 3.5mm headphone socket and headphones sound great thanks to Quad DAC, wide-angle camera, good battery life, good fingerprint sensor placement
Display isn't the best quality out there, some software quirks (failed Bluetooth) and bloat apps, camera performance could be better in some areas
With big phones increasing in popularity, the LG V30 lands in a space that's more competitive than ever before. The Samsung Galaxy S8+ and the Note 8 are particular rivals and there's competition from devices like the (more affordable) Huawei Mate 10 Pro...

OLED screen, Highly creative video mode, Wide-angle camera, Superb audio, Great battery life
Lacking video and photo editing features, Screen edges very sensitive, No unlocked version yet
Yes. The V30 looks amazing, takes video that will make you look like a Hollywood director (or dream of being one), has audio that'll make you weep, and a glorious OLED screen. It faces some very strong competition this year, but it's right up there with t...
