Honestly if LG worked on their battery capacity, software updates, and just their overall advertising program then their phones would definitely be the best Android alternative to Samsung

@@quchi7232 The Manuel camera on LG phones are just awesome. But the camera hardware on the V30 is just not good... I had the V30 for the last whole year. I loved the camera software but the hardware with things like the small 1.0µm pixels ruins it a bit. I don't know who thougth it is a good idea to use smaller sensors on the V30. That's just stupid. And I don't even want to start about the wide angle camera which shrinks with every new model (135° -> 125° -> 120° -> 107° ...). "Less distortion" is just a bullshit argument. That's like saying that they use only x1.5 optical zoom because x2.0 has a smaller wide angle...

Great review 👍 as always by GSMArena. I watched the shots on GSMArena site review. LG V40 's camera samples look gorgeous! Too bad, I bought the G7 a few months ago. I'm very pleased with it, but the V40 has a zoom x2 lens in addition to g7, that makes it unbeatable. And the quality of zoomed in shots look fantastic! I don't know if I have to trade my g7 for v40 . This phone is a temptation! !

Oh BTW, the software on the V30 is very smooth. Haven't experienced any stutter, I was actually worried about that before buying but it's much better than I expected. My previous S8 plus was stuttering like hell, ugh Samsung.

Overall a good review of a great phone ..thanks GSMArena ! Other reviews are so biased that you don't get to see the product., so kudos to the reporting . Also incredible , engaging sharp B-Roll ! I have this phone and watched the review to see how GSMarena treated it . I only wish the reviewer would have stated that the battery was 20% smaller capacity than the other $900 plus flagships and that performance was on par for the specified capacity. Also very glad the reviewer did not harp on OS version Oreo as others do . An update , LG and most carriers discounted the phone immediately $150 to $200 making it just over $700 a week after it was announced ., so like the battery 20% less $$ than the other flagships .

It was great on V10 g5 v20. Not great on glass back. That's also why iPhone home button was replaced with touch id. More durable, better haptic vibration feeling.

That's what happens when you don't have a good marketing department... Many people complained about the power button on the back because they didn't know how to activate the screen by double tap. As a brand, if you are going to implement features in a way that is not the standard, you have to tell people about it and how to use them! It doesn't matter if you (LG) has always had the double tap wake up feature, you have to think about the costumers who has never had an LG phone before. And that's only one of the problems with the marketing of LG phones on recent years

There's a lot to like about the V40 but it will never cease to amaze me why LG didn't put a bigger battery in a phone this size and doesn't spend more time trying to get the basics on their cameras right. With a f1.5 aperture on their main camera it should be able to go head-to-head with the Galaxy s9 and Note 9 but they still lag behind.
