LG V30

See All Stories

LG has officially unveiled the V30, the successor to last year’s V20. While in the past the V line differed from the G series with higher-end hardware and a different design, this year, the V30 follows in the G6’s footsteps. What this means is a large FullVision display which features limited amounts of bezel and an all-glass build. The handset improves upon the G6 though as it features new videography features, a high-quality audio DAC, and more.

[Update: Now rolling out] Early Android Pie beta build leaks for the LG V30, still no release info

LG really doesn’t make life easy for themselves. They make some solid hardware, but stall massively in updating their devices. The LG V30, V35, and V40 were supposed to get Android Pie by June, but that initial deadline has come and gone. We have some good news, though, as an early Android Pie beta has leaked for the LG V30.

LG reportedly won’t bring a ‘G7’ to MWC, will refresh LG V30 w/ AI features instead

LG’s future in the smartphone market is very unclear at the moment. Around CES, we didn’t hear anything about the company’s mid-range lineup as we have in the past, and, more importantly, the company confirmed it wasn’t going to stick to a yearly cycle for flagship releases. Now, it seems that MWC will see the results of that.

Review: LG V30 is one of the best content creation smartphones ever made [Video]

LG has a funny habit of announcing new phones way ahead of their release, then losing excitement from the would-be buyers who get tired of waiting and decide to buy something else. That’s a shame, because LG has really started to offer some phenomenal flagship devices.

That couldn’t be more true of the V30, which we’ve already had for months in the forms of both retail and preview units, but the phone only just launched in the US over the past week, and you know what? The V30 is the best phone LG has ever made, and I’d even say it’s one of the best Android phones of the year — with some caveats, of course.

LG is so proud of the V30’s camera that they compared it to the RED Weapon [Video]

Just because LG has still not given us an official release date or price for the V30 doesn’t mean it has stopped hyping up the phone. As we know from the announcement, LG is incredibly proud of the handset’s dual camera setup and that it was the first to introduce an F1.6 aperture lens in a smartphone. So proud that the company gave cinematographer Parker Walbeck a unit to compare side-by-side with a RED Weapon…
