Lg v40 is good

Lg v40 best with price

I own a v40 and for me its all about the audio hardware baby.

I'd definitely take the V40 - and, actually, did. Have had it over a month, now, and couldn't be happier with it.

This dude has a OnePlus 6T Hairline Notch 👶

LG V40👍👏👏👏

I returned my Galaxy s9+ and got the v40 it makes sense since I came from v10 and the v20. I especially loved my v20 I took some great pics with that phone while traveling.

Im smelling some bias in some of these sectiion reveiews.. The v40bwas better in alot of the area hands down.

Lg v40 for me.. Pixel is too boring and 😐

Comes down to the camera and software? Really? How about the quad dac of the v40? Just another same same review.

Does the LG have a cheap plastic sim tray? I remember my LG G6’s sim tray snapped off into the phone one time when i was ejecting it. I was pissed

For me v40 is perfect.

Great comparison man! Excellent video. Looking forward to more from you.

i have only one question why do all pixel phones underclock the procesor ? for more smooth ,batery life or more long lasting becouse none of this has worked for them

V40 is a beast... and I use both. Pixel 3XL is my work phone.

no way! I peepd my hometown in one of your shots of main street in Boonton! scoops and the little gas station gave it away haha

Hey can you recommend me some good pair of headphones and IEM for lg g7 thinq. Currently I am having one more design triple drivers IEM but they sound low but when they are connected to poco they sound good and loud.

Anyone else think this is biased?

If LG left to play catch up,that goes for all other top flagships also

V-series anytime dude!!

Thanks for the review. The review is decent but not balanced. Especially in relation to the features of LG since it seems that enough time was not taken to actually use the LG V40 and learn it's features with the actual LG skin. I will touch on things you mentioned as your deciding factors (although I don't believe the regular consumer focuses on those things primarily) Camera: Pixel is known for its awesome camera however I wasn't impressed with the stills other than the night shot more still. Most importantly the audio recording of the pixel is poorer than most high end flag ship and poor to the extent that it is not usuable for high quality blogging or videos. The LG however has the best audio recording capabilities of any smartphone. Thus for the regular consumer it is easier to use the LG V40 over the Pixel 3XL. Also in tests I've found the day light selfies of the pixel to be unnatural, especially with light complexions. Night selfies are pretty good though. Software: The pixel software was riddled with bugs at it's launch. Also stock Android lacks essential features that a skinned Android phone has. Stock is perfect for those who prefer a simple phone like the iPhone. However it is boring and at times inconvenient since you have to search for an app that is suitable.

The only thing that I want to point out that is wrong as a 9.0 pie user (on a different phone) and a previous pixel 3xl user ( I returned it) you can turn off gestures: Go under settings, go to system, go to the gesture button, you'll see a setting called "Swipe up on Home Button" click on it and turn it off and your on screen buttons are back.

LG is way better

How can I get that wallpaper on the v40?

You know LG makes Google's displays.

Imported the pixel camera to my v40 for nightsight. Problem solved. Feel like the v40 has more practical use for me. Like having a headphone jack and more robust camera features.

Bigger and better features on the pixel ? i just do not see it , google call screening to me seems like a huge gimmick , if you have time to waste to sit there listening to an incoming caller , and then sending machine voice responses during the call , you might as well just answer the call and not stuff around , or leave it on voice call that is on every phone service and has spam settings already and continue using your time for other things . . How is a single lens camera that does not cut the mustard in zoom better ? How is not having a dedicated headphone jack better , not too mention a very good DAC ? How is not having a vast array of camera and video options on the LG not better ? Vanilla android , 4 gb of ram 👎 . Then the thing that stops either being even considered for many would be the battery size , these are both being sold as camera centric devices which if used for such activities can suck through battery very quickly . LG does not usually put bigger batteries in phones , but why google put a smaller battery in the 3 xl this year ????

where are the automatic generated captions? please activate them for all vids

When will the g7 get android pie? Do u know?

I've loved the Nexus devices for years, but I went LG with the V20. All the extra features trump everything else. There isn't a bad camera on a phone on the market currently, but name all the ones that include Quad DAC, Headphone jacks, expandable storage, AND manual camera controls. The versatility of the V series is awesome and I would have taken the V40 in this matchup.

The screen is definitely better on the v40. Also, stock Android won't have what the lg has for years says a few other tech viewers. I'm going for the v40. Don't forget the boombox and quad dac on the v40. It's safe to say the v40 is the winner for me.

I would get the LG V35& SAVE ME SOME MONEY

LG v40 better phone for me

The note 9 and LG V40 display screen on par,a matter a fact i think LG V40 colors look slightly more appealing

Wut lg has always had a great camera in their flagships so has Samsung

Google Pixel 3a or lgv40 thinQ ? which one has the best camera?

Can you review the Mi 8 lite ?

This review seemed awfully biased against the LG V40, couldn't been more obvious

Uh dude. Google isnt new to the smartphone game. Did you forget the Nexus devices?

Watching on my v40 hands down I've had my time with the Pixel phones v40 specs and manual mode stomps out the Pixel phones

the problem withthe 3xl no sd card slot. they want you to use their cloud ( free at first) then pay for it or lose gmail access.

Night Shot aka manual camera controls with a longer exposure time(LG). Night shot tells you to hold still and if you don't then you end up with a blurry image. Your welcome!

and I bought a V30 for 400 when V40 came out. was a great deal

What is the available RAM on the phones? Does the LG 6GB of RAM get chewed up with UI and unwanted apps humping the OS? IMO it's all about optimization = better performance, longer battery life, ect. And, what good is a camera outside if you can't see the display. Brighter screen is a big deal for me.

I was really excited for this head to head review, because one of these two phones will be my next one (currently have the LG V20). After watching the review however z it really doesn't seem like there is a clear cut winner. At this point I'd have to think about the specific features that I value the most. I like that the V40 has that telephoto lense feature, and that it has retained a 3.5mm headphone jack and quad-dac amplifier. I use the one on the V20 fairly often. Does the V40 have an IR blaster to use as a remote control?

V40 has Manuel mode for photos too which takes much better pictures in the right hands... Big miss here since you didn't mention that

The lack of a headphone jack to on the Pixel was a deal breaker for me because I need to use external mikes. Battery power is not so much an issue as I power the phone from the power supply on the gimbal if I have a long shoot. The more I use the LG 40 the more I like it.

i have the v50 but thinking of getting the pixel 3 xl also just to play with custom ROMs

There's a camera mod for the v40 that ports the pixel HDR+ camera features to it. I have a v30, tried it, found it to be massively superior to lgs own capture software, in low light or high dynamic shots. So, pairing the pixel software with the v40 might give you the superior device hardware and software experience. Also, the v30+ comes with 128gb ram, 4x4 mimo, 600mhz band support, 5g support, and will function as a total media replacement device with its split screen/picture in picture mode tech for Netflix and KZfaq. No need to pay a sub fee to get that feature.

Anyone that has the v40 can you tell me how is it outside I see people saying screen not bright enough.

Whats the wallpaper of pixel

$400 unlocked at Costco for the LG v40. I had the V30 and hated the off angle blue hue to it.

You havent mentioned a word about HDR video recording feat. Rec2020

These are both favorable equally but that Night Sight mode and call screening gives the Pixel the slight edge.

Out of the box, this review reflects pretty much what I believe regarding both these smartphones, apart from some minor details: - in speakers, the V40 has Boombox that is far superior in some ways, to the P3 & any other brand's flagship; - in video, I heard in another review that the V40 had sometimes lower noise but not sure & the other guy might be wrong...; - I know it's generally not tackled in those types of review, & understand why, yet I still point out that in manual, the V40 destroys the Pixel due to better hardware, more options & flexibility, leading to better low light pictures (well Night Sight makes the fight tough here & I find it great. Night Sight is sometimes superior, espcly in low light + high dynamic range subjects... the killer feature with NS is the ability to do it without tripod thx to IA! Awesome), RAWs, & ultimately, video (the only line to integrate manuals in videos?). - audio input is not only better, but allows to plug headphones to monitor + visualize your capture, or an external mic easily through 3,5 jack, with 24bits 192khz support, which is never gonna happen on Pixel & any non 3,5 jack friendly models... For sure it's a very niche feature, more destined to audio-visual creators. Ok, that was "out of the box". Now, add Root to the story (which, again, I know everyone is not into), & you get access to all the margin of improvements the V40 has: better batterylife (well the Pixel could also benefit from that the same way), some more options, but most importantly to me, GCAM port. From there, you have the best of both worlds in 1 device: better hardware, + all the soft magic of Google (minus the gap of slight incompatibility, leading to glitches or misperformance...). Actually this already works on previous models (LG V30 by excellence), & this son of a gun is probably superior to the Pixel 2 & Pixel 3 sometimes! Well, I have none of those devices in hand, so this is just assumptions speculations & reported experiences from other users/reviewers, still I wanted to share it in case some would fimd any interest in any of that. 😁

I got the g7 and m gonna switch my phone for the g8 when it comes out. I'm not worried about any other phone. Maybe the s10 but that's it. LG is so underrated it's crazy. The display is better the audio is way better and camera is just great and just a good or better

LG still has that Knock on cause its Usefull and its one way to turn on a phone if you don't use power button

You got that SOUL GLO!!!

So.... I'm in the process of upgrading my phone, right now I have an lg stylo 2, which I've had no complaints, have had for 2 yrs, just now giving me a few glitches, was actually looking at these 2 phones, but now totally don't know which to get. I know the verizon sales person was saying the Google pixel 3xl doesn't have all those added apps you never use. Which is appealing cuz I never use any of those apps on my phone now. I do run a small internet business on Etsy so I take pics of my products and would like a good camera and easy to use. Plus will be starting to take videos of my horses, so would like to chose best phone for that. Plus, I talk to my husband via speakerphone, how does sound come thru on these phones? Clear? I know I'm long winded here, sorry, but if ones out there who have either of these phones, give me your pros and cons about your phone. Thanks!!

V40 has a better display. Smh I'm Amazed you have both devices and you still can't see it 😆 everything is basically better on the V 40 all the way down to the cameras and the sound quality Hi-Fi DAC. you really need to do your homework.

Great review

I bought a v40 last week. It just froze on me and refused to go on no matter what I did until I charged it when it had 50%. I hope this doesnt happen again or its going back . ibe been overall happy but this is something I dont need to worry about happening again like my old phome

How did your v40 video come out so bad? Mine doesn't look anywhere as bad!

I bought a refurbished LG v40 3 months ago. . mainly because of the sound DAC which is really impressive. The cameras tho it has lots of controls to play with is no match for the pixel 6 I'm using.

V40 does have the caller notification tho?

Loving my 3XL, smooth, fast, reliable , it's not my favorite phone but it gets the job done, LG is underrated in the smartphone industry.

I bought the v40 and i love it. Its the best smart phone ive ever owned thus far

As an LG fan, I hate how LG seemingly cheaped out on their camera software, which is so odd, as one would think that would be the most important thing on a phone with 5 cameras. And also, to stay with the small 3300 mAh battery is also an odd decision.

Lg v40 actually has stereo boombox speakers

The V40 gives u an eargasm as well..32 bit quad audio dac..oh ya

I have an Lg and I don't even use atuto mode, I'm always on manual mode which is way better

The only downside from v40 was a lack of os support even to flash it still find it difficult on XDA forum. If everything complete, could be a huge competitor vs Samsung and demolish pixel as easy as possible due to nova launcher that can be implemented on any Android device 😂

The v40 is a bit lacking in image quality than Pixel 3, but I think it is the most advantageous to be able to take pictures from three angles of view.

5:11 thumbs up for V-Moda

I love my lgv40 thinq, I got it at a better price point. And the audio is amazing with quad dac. BUT, as a photographer, the color this display renders are VERY much different from my ipad and computer. So using Lightroom for quick edits became a no no for me on here. Even after toying around with COLOR calibration. I just couldnt get it close to my laptop and iPad, which are VERY similar. This BOTHERS THE HELL OUT OF ME. The LG also has 2gb more of ram. So that helps with gaming. I'm messing with my dad's pixel 3xl and might trade him... Well see. Comparability with apps is also an issue ive experienced with LG...

I love my v40 I'm rolling with it

Good phone comparison, but your photo-taking skills need work. Your two photos vary a TON and it's not good for comparing the cameras. Plus it looks like you set the colors differently on the LG V40. You should set them so the colors are closer so it's a better comparison. Other videos with better photo composition and proper color settings make the two cameras seem a lot more similar.

For the last time duel front facing speakers.

Did you guys forget to tap the screen so the V40 knew what it was photographing?!

watch majority of the video THANKS BROTHER

I just returned my galaxys10 simply because the front camera sucks, it still got the blurry effect I hate so much. It also don't work for night time mode. So, I got an LG v40 and it fuckn rocks!!

i just got my v40... and it has a 128gb on board for storage. :) v40 is the bomb!

I'm still rocking the Pixel XL until Google adds more than 4gb of RAM.

is it only me or does this guy deserve a medal. I've been watching videos on KZfaq about phones but most of the popular phone channels ignore LG and their phone. LG is awesome to me i mean it's not overrated like Apple, Samsung or Huawei. it's affordable and awesome. Love LG

Hold up, the V40 has less nits than the G6?! Why the hell did I upgrade, the G6 is barely visible in sunlight.

Copping v40 tomorrow 😊

Who is Lizzy?

I dont care i love my v40 watching this in lg v40

LG make great hardware but everytime their software let's their phones down.

LG V40 has the pro mode though, you just have to be somewhat intelligent to use it. Pixel has the software edge for sure.

Each phones have its own features. Funny that you said lg has to play catch up when the pixel lack some features that lg has also. As far as camera.... Nowadays these camera and speed test are pointless when it is only a very micro difference that the average consumers will not know the difference. All I want from these expensive flagship is the best battery life possible

Reviewers love phones that give you the fewest features and lack of manual camera controls. The VSeriers phones are for photographers I guess, not appreciated as no one reviews them in manual pro modes. It’s always snap in auto and proclaim a winner. Missing chapters from your story.

I have the LG V40 and i would never go back to anything different. The V40 is hands down better the only down side is the battery

V40 set it lower ISO decrease shutter spees.steady shot.

Lg v40 was nice

Excellent review!! Great job!

The LG all the way. Total manual control with the photo, video, and audio during recording? Absolutely.

Ughhh! You are a pixel guy and a stock Android guy as well. It's okay but not for me. Stock android is played out and so cheesy. I would never buy a pixel because the cameras are all hype. Everyone just seen that the v40 camera is just as good or better in certain situations. Other reviewers even had the v40s camera doing better. Whatever tho. ✌️

What game was he playing. And I love my LG V40!!

There's only one reason I don't buy LG phones if they did updates to the Google operating system for three years after you bought their phones and see everybody buying LG
