This is the best V40 review out there. Splendid job.

The V40 Thinq by LG, the most underrated smarthphone of 2018!

I know this is a bit "after the event" but I just wanted to thank you for the great review. I have seen so many reviewers that are sadly so blatantly biased against LG phones and it is refreshing to hear such a positive review. I am currently deciding whether to upgrade from LG V30 to the V40 and I think your review has just finalised the decision. I have used so many LG phones and have absolutely adored my LG V30 for the past year - for me also it is the near perfect phone! - almost flawless. I bought an iPhone 8 plus which was returned within days, what a backward step, it just could not compete with the V30. Then I bought a Galaxy S10 and that was returned within a few days - for me it was not as good as the LG experience. I am now just looking to get a better camera experience. I listen to music all the time and LG flagships are unbeatable for that. The only thing putting me off is the fact that they moved the power button from the back to the side, but I guess I can live with that.

Watching this on my V20, getting this one to replace it, LG has upped their game so much in such a short period of time, that I can't help but feel happy for them, LG seems to have finally found their own way of doing things, great phone (except for that steep price tag)

FYI This phone is now $300-400 on ebay daily , I bought my sprint V40 at $330 yesterday. LOVE THIS PHONE !!

You are getting better and better with explaining about these phones.keep up the good work and your viewers will always support no matter how many views etc you are the person I would want to learn from when it comes to phones.🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Thanks for the 60 day update. I'd love to see a comparison of the cameras before and after the updates. I think most reviews of the cameras came from users who were given the phone by LG before it was updated and as such the camera doesn't receive good reviews (or at least compared to more polished flagships).

Thank you for the thorough review of the v40! Giving LG the love it deserves. Also, cool keyboard you got there on your desk.

Wish there was other reviews like this out there,this video was WELL DONE!!!

I have watched literally HUNDREDS of phone reviews and a good chunk of those were for LG phones as I've had a few as my own daily driver and yours is by far the best I've ever watched. You touched on points I've always considered as an LG owner for years and talked about it without the usual hint of disdain I hear in so many other reviews. Good job and you just got a new subscriber!

Finally, an accurate review of this great phone! I've had it for about a week and agree with everything you said. My one gripe is the same as yours, that it's just a bit too big and would have been better inside the V30 footprint. BUT I also totally appreciate how light they were able to make it!

I recently acquired the LG G7 and I am happy with the terminal, the camera seems good, the sound is amazing and I do not bother the Notch also having little battery has lasted up to a day and a half.Little by little, LG is improving, hopefully it will continue to grow as it is almost taken into account ... Excellent Review greetings and blessings ...

LG phones are highly underrated.

Just got yourself a new subscriber with this in-depth and honest review of LG's latest and greatest. I can only hope that your channel grows bigger and stronger to enlighten other consumers especially with all of the click-bait crap nowadays .

LG should hire a marketing team.

Great video. About time someone gives this phone some love.

Good job on not just instantly shitting on LG. Ur one of the only reviewers that has really given it a fair shake

Love this review and it convinced me to get the V40. Great job!

Thank you so much for a great review! This is probably the most unbiased review on the LG V40 that I have seen! Kudos!

Man, the way you speak is very proper. I enjoyed listening 👍

Got the LG G7 but then swapped it out for this one, worth it! I especially love how they give you a 2 year warranty through LG for it 😊

The way you dsecribed how you you like the design of LG phones 👌👌👌 couldn't have said it better! That's exactly me. I just love to hold an LG phone in my hand. And I'm very happy with the camera! The automatic mode may be not as good as in other phones, but the LG manual mode for videos and photos is the best! The only thing I really don't like about the V40 and the G7 is that Google Assistant button and the external power button. One of the reasons I choose the G2 back then was because of the power button on the back. It was sooo practical! Hope LG gets back to it! 💓

Great review, looks really good, triple camera set up including Wide Angle and telephoto lenses, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card support (it’s just so much easier and cheaper to get an SD Card for more storage rather than having to buy a new phone just to get additional storage), FM Radio, ip 68 water and dust resistance, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... and a Fast Charger included the box. Ticks so many boxes. Nice one. This is looking like a strong contender to replace my LGG6 which has been superb (my first ever LG phone).

I loveeee LG skins.. And i love how i can customize the home button, screen shot button is a must for me.

Love the review thank you, I've been hesitant to go with LG since the G4 heating up and constantly rebooting which LG could not fix. I might take a chance with this one since that was a long time ago.

Oh damn!! 10 Years paused on your music player @ 7:21 ...on top of a stellar review. Subscribed. Rock on man!!!

I have always owned an lg phone always love them my favorite so far is the v40

Great video. Just recieved mine today. The inhand feel is great. I wish it was the same size as the V30 that's much easier to manage with one hand. Got it for less than a Oneplus 6T on Ebay and I'm glad I chose this.

Well played!: a steady and intelligent review ( nothing flashy )

One of the best unbiased reviews I have seen. A real review

Great follow-up review with some great points about features that are often overlooked by other reviewers (QC4, fast wireless charging, BT path routing). It's a very solid phone. Thanks for the update.

My first phone with Lg was the v20 & I have been searching for the last six months & liked the HTC 12+ & ended up buying the v40 & very happy with all the options the phone has to offer but the camera really did it for me... Definitely the best phone for me!

thanks for this detailed review! its has helped me further strengthen my decision to upgrade from v30+ to v40.. \m/

Im have come to like LG a lot..the v30 won me..those little things like the curvy design and haptic feedback are awsome.

It's cool, taste is subjective, so where other reviewers will prefer the pixel 3 for example and thus recommend that over this, as far as features that I care about, the v40 is definitely for me. Headphone jack, manual video controls and the different camera focal lengths are all great features so it's nice to hear a review for this phone by someone who values different things than the more popular reviewers :)

Watching from my LG V30. I've owned 2 iPhones and NEVER again. Also use and own a Samsung GS7 (among other Galaxy phones), which isn't bad but really impressed with my LG. So impressed that the LG OLED TV is probably my next bigger purchase..

Just got the v40 yesterday i love it!! I love lg phones I'm happy i had a g6 and was so disappointed

Sir i dont usualy comment but kudos for being honest really !!!

Loved the video. Thank you for giving LG love unlike every other youtuber

Finally a good review for a lg phone. I am currently using the g7 thinq and i am totally in love with it. I am more than satisfied with it.

Wish there was a super thumbs up since you listen to 10 Years. #1 favorite band of all time!

I still love my V30, probably won't upgrade until the V50 comes out, but it looks like I have a lot to look forward to.

Best honest v40 review 🏆. Subscribed

I gotta be honest but this is by far the best review on the LG phones I have ever watched, I'm simply in love with the LG ever since I switch I have been getting all my appliances from LG, I just got the LG OLED Signature Smart 4k tv, and I'm about to sell the one I bought months ago, LG's devices are really good and I'm not saying the others brands are bad, but LG makes differences

I got my LG V20 two years ago thru Verizon and want to trade up I checked out the Moto Z3,Samsung G10+ but after seeing your great video I going to check out the LG V40. Thanks☺.

Best honest review about an LG Smartphone. Cheers!

I've had the V35 for two weeks (?) now. It's great. Being an up-spec'd V30 makes it a great choice.

After all the mixed reviews I've watch and alot of them are just people being brats about notches and specs that pretty much every other flagships have. You have sold me completely on the v40. It is my next upgrade from the s7 edge. Thank you.

I got this phone last weel, love it so far I play music a lot even,at work and the speaker is pretty nice. Pretty nice phone all around

You talk about vibration motors and haptic feedback! Proud of you. Subscribing.

Love your music choice of 10 Years!!! Great video

best LG phone review ever . hands down great job 👍👍👍👍

Two-year warranty does it for me. Can't wait for the V40 to be available in my country!

Excellent job! You've gained a subscriber.

This phone is amazing fr edit I just got mine today and holy s*** seeing it in a video doesn't do it justice holding it in your hand and seeing that beautiful 6.4 inch display wow blazing Fast 2 most underrated smartphone of 2018

This is called a solid review

I appreciate your well detailed unbias revue, it actually helps me with my decision.

Excellent review, very informative for those of us still considering to buy this device. Thank you

You have the best take on all the reasons I love this phone...ps...it ain't silly... Wear a case... I got the phone based on bunch of reviews but this did it.. Im typing on my blue V40 in a spigen rugged armor

Why does LG have to make the V40 so good and so expensive!?!? I have a G7 I bought the day it released on T-Mobile. I used a BOGO deal so I have to pay off my G7 over 24 months before I can upgrade in order to get the 2nd phone free. But I'll buy the V40 either as a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, or use money I get for Christmas towards it. This video completely sold the V40 for me

I love LG phones. The LG G4 was amazing!! I'm hoping the second version of the LG One has better specs. If it does, that will be my next phone.

Amazing review. Finally someone who goes in depth on the software. People always cry about wanting stock android etc. But I personally am very happy with LG software (I have a v30), the LG tweaks are more important to me than the new features android pie brings... And it's so very well optimized for the phone, the battery life is simply amazing. That's one of the reasons why I think the v30 is almost the better phone than the v40. For a person like me who almost never uses the cameras, I'd rather have the v30 without notch, smaller size and better battery life. And of course: almost half the price...

Great job focusing on important things that make or break the experience on a daily basis...

Heeey, we think alike 👌😄 I still have my G2 and now using V30+, with no regret. There are some features I love on LG flagship: double click on each volume rocker that will bring me to camera or note, without having to unlock and launch the app. This surely speedup everything for me with so many instantaneous things to record/capture.

Excellent, informative review. Thorough and fair. Well done

My first was the K series and although a budget phone it azed me which led to the V 40 purchase... Still rocking it in almost 7/20

Just replaced my LG V20 with the V40 ThinQ, great job on the review. 👍

I just bought this phone refurb for cheap. It has a bad resale value which is good for us but is a great phone! Thanks for doing an amazing video for us who don't need the latest and greatest. I'm in IT and love tech but being on the older side, I've come to truly value what you need and not necessarily what you want...

Great review! I’ve been really on the fence about getting the v40 or the note 9, or just saving up and buying an unlocked pixel 3 to bring over to my service. I’m still on the fence but this video definitely helped me lean a bit more toward the v40

I had an LG V20 it had a nice metal back, and GOD I enjoyed that audio profile

Had the v30 and now I upgraded to this phone. I loved the v30 and this one is even better! Couldn't be happier with this phone!

I am liking my V40 more as I use it. T-Mobile has limited color selection meaning Black. Once I set up face recognition (yes I know not 100% secure) it instantly pops my screen up, so fast that I had to try it without either my face seen or my finger touching the sensor on the back to make sure it was not just always unlocked. Talk about effortless. For me it even works faster than the Iris scan of my Samsung S9+ though I am still stubborn to try Bixby on the Samsung as if I made up my mind saying,"I won't like it." Since we are trading our privacy for convenience these days, might as well just use Google assistant. Duck Duck Go assistant would be cool to have though, they are the "we don't track you, we don't know anything about you and don't want to know" people.

Went out with a group of people the other day and someone had the iphone 11 pro and another person had this lg phone. To my surprise the lg took way better photos. The video on the lg is probably the best I've ever seen on a smart phone.

Still have the V30. Keeping this bad boy for a while. Great review by the way. And also the clear matte skins from SlickWraps works wonders for glass back phones especially if you have the color you want.

Great review. Nice to see LG get the attention it deserves.

I was listening to that exact 10 years album right before watching this video!

Finally someone with a positive review on this device cheers

Had the LG V40 for a week now, upgraded from the HTC U11. This phone is perfect imo. Amazing sound wired, great sound Bluetooth and really good from the phones speakers. The panel is next level nice and crisp. Everything is fast and snappy. Games that I stopped playing days ago but didn't close open right up to where I paused, those 6 gigs of ram coming in handy. I loved the U11, but this is far better in every way. People who complain about LG not having Android vanilla and using their own skin are just complainers and will find any dumb thing to drag down a product that has no flaws so far. Only area I am not sure on is the cameras since the weathing in NYC has been miserable lately. Highly recommend this phone if you can get it at a discount. $960 is too much for any phone, but no complaints at the little over $600 I got it via Sprint. Fantastic device.

Thanks for the review my V20 just died since V50 not on tmobile going for the V40 for sure.

Beautiful Phone, Awesome review.

I love this LG V40 thinq. The cameras are great, battery is decent once on extend mode and it's lightweight. It's a great improvement from when I had the LG V10.

Awesome review. I've been on the LG v train since the v20 and you summed up perfectly what makes LG phones feel "right" to me, and why I go consistently go LG over Samsung.

V20 user trying to decide between V40, G8 and V50, would love more LG videos like this!

Finally someone else that feels the same way about software updates that i do. Google may have the latest version but companies like lg and Samsung will still have way more features and things to offer in previous versions than stock android will have for a couple more years

Cool video! Idk why noone does a review about the V40, it's an awesome device (except a few silly decisions like the notch or moving the LG unique power button, that's why I still prefer my V30)

excellent review, i am planning on getting this phone. it really is a complete package phone, i love music so that quad dac is awesome, and i just play with the phone at a tmobile store and this phone looks and feel great and that screen is just really nice vibrant. and you can get this phone new at ebay for $600.

The bigger screen, price, weight and a few other features made me jump from the note series. Very happy with the v40!

Must ask about your laptop - (great review by the way!), but can't find anything like it with the copper looking boarder around each key! Please share!

great review video

Excellent. Shame on biased reviewers who accept every crap from iPhone and Samsung as invention and call LG's inventions as gimmick. I wish LG continues its mobile production.

Obsession overload. Years after and I still want this phone!!

This video popped up in my feed. It's an old review but a good one. I'm watching it on my LG V35; a phone the reviewer would've loved because it's basically the hardware from the V40 fitted into the V30's shell. Same 845, same 6GB of RAM, same QuadDAC. The screen was also upgraded from the V30; however it's still a 6 inch pOLED with no notches. There's also no AI button on the side to interfere with his tripod and the power button is still in the fingerprint reader. The cameras of the V35 are straight out of the G7; but with the island rotated 90°, so you do lose the third camera of the V40, however what's here works great. The V35 seems to go for quite a few dollars less on the used market than the V40 does here in 2022; but, it's just as capable. That's my quick review.

Great review for a great phone , thank you

I need help with my v40.... Im trying to scroll through comment but when i hold and scroll it goes straight to the top and i dont know what to do.

Where can I get that keyboard sir. Also that gold coloured Android looks good. Nice video on lg v40. I will go for one as soon as it's available in my country India.

Loving my v30. One thing people dont talk about a lot is the keyboard. Its amazing

This was a "Real" great review. People look at specs so the battery size was a bad choice fighting against the giants.

which one i should buy v40 or mate 20 pro (comparing all aspects )

I just bought a brand new Unlocked LG V40 (QA7) for $250. It came with a $60 Otterbox case/clip with a pair of LG's Tone Pro's. The Unlocked variants also come with a pair of great sounding ear buds. The Unlocked V40 is GSM/CDMA compatible so T-Mobile/Sprints is running great on the V40. It has AWS (5CA) and BANDS 66 and 71 and gets about 25MB/s download speed when out in about. That's Megabytes (Big B) not megabits. The LG V40 is awesome. Juan Bagnell, onother tuber that also loves LG's phones. But, on his LG V40 review he said that the V40 doesn't support Slimport but, the Unlocked (QA7) version does. I got the phone and then first thing i tried was plugging in my QVS USB-c to HDMI adapter amdnthe phone simply said 2nd scree connected. So, the Unlocked LG V40 does have Slimport and when hooking It up to my LG C9 55in O-LED TV and the picture is flawless with absolutely no lag or latency. Also when checking the response time. It's good enough to watch fast and smooth 4K60 without any banding or blur. Checking the IMEI on the phone, i found out that it was manufactured on Dec.5th 2019 so, it must be a replacement phone for lost/stolen phones. LG also honors there 2 year promise so i got 2+1 years of warranty with registering the phone. Another awesome thing with the V40 is that it finally got ROOT thanks to the guys over at XDA. Also thanks to the one that provided the LG V35 engineering bootloader (SD845 SOC) file. I was able to change the thermal parameters to the Adreno 630 by modifying thermal threshold temps so the Adreno 630, as well as the SD845's 385 Kryo cores wouldn't throttle under low temps. With a Stock Android 10 rom now on the LG V40 i got the high-power 2.8GHz cores to overclock to 2.96GHz and the Adreno 630 to 725MHz giving it over 800Gflops of FP32 compute power. It's basically a SD845+ like the binned version inside the ASUS ROG Phone. LG is well known for setting there thermal throttling temps way to low, causing the phone to lose almost have its performance just after 2mins of high power usage. So i went in and created a thermal.conf.file and set the CPU and GPU parameters myself. No more famous microstutter in games or low long term performance. They only did that because no the solder joints disconnecting from the (SD808) in the LG G4 temp changes. I'm extremely happy with this 2 year old (5months old) flagship. I'm an audiophile so i had to go with LG because it has a 3.5mm headphone jack with its ESS SABRE qDAC which is a 32bit/192Khz qDAC with the jack using a 2Vrms port. Its strong enough to push my 650Ω Senhheiser 800HD's ($800) with no problem.

great review man!!
