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

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.

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

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 !!

LG phones are highly underrated.

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).

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!

LG should hire a marketing team.

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

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

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.🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

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

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

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

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 ...

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!

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 .

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..

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

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!

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 😊

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.

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).

This is called a solid review

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

Best honest v40 review 🏆. Subscribed

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

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

I have no idea where the hate comes from. The V30 display is one of the best I've seen. I own both the S9 and Pixel 3 and prefer the V30 display.

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

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

Excellent job! You've gained a subscriber.

Best honest review about an LG Smartphone. Cheers!

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 :)

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.

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.

great review man!!

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

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 do you get quality cases from ? Its so hard to find LG cases I currently have the G6 and looking to upgrade to the v40.

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☺.

Can you tell me the title of the wallpaper on this phone at 4:03 ? I really liket it

great review video

you do know that you can turn of the assistent key in the settings ?

Excellent, informative review. Thorough and fair. Well done

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

The LG skin being outdated or something is just a bandwagon. It's honestly good, nothing wrong. I don't know why people hate it either.

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

I like the wall papers on the V40, where did you get them?

I have the v40 with android 9 PIE and when i watch KZfaq the Notch shows. I thought once we punch and zoom the screen it stops before the Notch.

I'm glad someone feels the same about LG the way I do. I won't be buying the LG V40 instead I'll be keeping my V30+. I'm considering LG V35 but I'm going to wait to see if the price is right especially since it will be BLACK FRIDAY soon. Great video

did you shot this video on LG V30 ??

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

What keyboard are you using during video on V40? :)

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

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.

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

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

Where did you get your keyboard?

Please tell me if you can activate the camera's shutter using a voice command? TKS

thanks. does GCAM fit V40?

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

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.

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.

Is the video recording still so good like it was on V30? For example very loud sounds was recorded by the earphone in V30.

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

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...

Does the v50 carry the same features on the v40 plus a better battery, 5g connectivity and 855 chipset or its a totally different feature pack on the v50. Having difficulty in deciding which one to buy between the two. Any advice?

So, what about the V30 from last year. Is LG still keeping up with the security updates? Just wondering how long they do this with their flagships.

Pixel 3 XL or V40 which will you pick and include one word to describe your reason

Excillent Grt review

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

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.

Is there a way i can get the phone to stop shrinking the screen everytime i use an app? Like when im on youtube and watching something ot shrinks the screen and does it allllll the time. Ive tried looking thru the settings too.

Does the v40 have the screenshot button on the bottom of the screen?

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

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.

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!

great review!

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.

Amazing review

Finally someone with a positive review on this device cheers

Does it support. DTSX with both wired and wireless headphones?

Great review for a great phone , thank you

Beautiful Phone, Awesome review.
