The LG V30 is an Android phablet manufactured by LG Electronics as part of the LG V series. It was unveiled on 31 August 2017, as the successor to the LG V20. It ditches the secondary display introduced by the V10 for a "floating bar" which has nearly the same functions as the second display. It still features quad DACs for improved audio.[2][3]

History

The phone was first teased on 3 August 2017 in a press release from LG showing the bottom half of the FullVision display.[4] On 7 August press invitations were sent out featuring the words "Lights. Camera. Action."[5] Video teasers were later released, advertising the phone's display, audio and camera capabilities.[6][7][8]

Specifications

Hardware

The V30 has a Gorilla Glass 5 front and rear plate sandwiching an aluminum body.

The LG V30 features a 6.0-inch P-OLED FullVision Display, with an 2:1 aspect ratio (marketed as 18:9), manufactured by LG Display. It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC with an Adreno 540 GPU, coupled with 4 GB RAM. The V30 has 64 GB of internal storage, while the V30+ has 128 GB, which is expandable via microSD card.[1] This is also the first LG smartphone to feature an OLED display.

The LG V30 has a dual-lens camera setup, like most smartphones released in 2017, with a 16-megapixel main sensor, with a 71° field of view, and a 13-megapixel wide angle sensor, with a 120° field of view.[2] However, the main camera also features a f/1.6 aperture, the lowest in a smartphone at the time of release,[2] and a 10-bit HDR sensor. The 10-bit HDR image sensor is capable of capturing nearly 1,070,000,000 different colors, which is about 211% more colors[9] than an 8-bit image sensor. The main sensor has optical image stabilization, which corrects motion blur in photos and videos, but there is no OIS on the wide angle lens.

The V30 supports up to 1 Gbps download speed on 4G. The H932 model of the V30, for T-Mobile, is the first smartphone to support 4G's LTE Band 71, with a frequency of 600 MHz.[10][1]

Software

The V30 ships with Android 7.1.2 "Nougat" (upgradeable to 8.0) with LG's custom skin, LG UX 6.0+.[2] It comes with Android's Always on Display feature.[1]

Reception

The V30 has received praise for having one of the most mature dual-camera systems available.[11]

LG has also been praised for their commitment to audio quality, retaining the headphone jack even as other premium smartphones have removed it,[12] and including multiple audio sensors for input and a 32-bit Quad-DAC (Digital Analog Converter) for output.[10][13]

The V30's screen quality has been criticized by some for its relative lack of color saturation and flaws, similar to the Google Pixel 2 XL whose display is also made by LG.[14]

The phone has been criticized for the large amount of bloatware LG puts on carrier branded devices.[11]
