Agreed. It was there best designed phone to me

Vernon Warren it was one of the best designed phones ever

The v30 was gorgeous

Thankfully the V35 is (was) a proper notchless flagship

I moved to the v30 from a Samsung Note 4 and really missed the removable battery. But to give LG credit, they are one of the few mobile manufacturers in the UK that give a 2 year warranty that also covers battery performance. Samsung makes claims of better batteries, but only give a 1 year warranty to UK customers as standard.

I think manufacturers are leaning towards having phones being waterproof as it's the trend now sacrificing the removable battery. It really depends on if you would rather have your phone be waterproof or have a removable battery. Both are great features, shame that we can't have both nowadays.

The V20 is a beast (in a good way). I struggled with decision to "upgrade" my V20 to the V40 due to sacrificing the removable battery. After ~ 5 days with the V40 (pre-ordered) I recommend it without reservation. Screen is much clearer and crisper with a noticeable reduction in the blue overcast and no screen burn / retention issues that plagued the V20. While the V40 objectively has a larger screen it feels much smaller when compared to the V20. This takes getting use to when you upgrade. Any V20 owner will tell you the newer flagships just feel lighter and thinner. This is not a bad thing but when you are accustomed to the V20 as your daily driver any upgrade is going to feel “smaller”. On a side note my wife recently upgraded to iPhone XS Max and that phone actually feels closest to the weight and width of the V20 but would have to switch Android to iOs which I'm not doing ;) Not gonna lie I do miss the convenience of swapping in/out a fully charged battery on my V20 during travel and heavy use.

@jonathan Chow By the time I put it in a case it is waterproof anyway.

As a V20 user, I have to say that the battery falling out is my only problem with the phone. If it had a better hinge, then it would be awesome to have a removable battery without worrying it'll fall out when throwing your phone on your bed. I'll happily sacrifice removable battery for water resistance at this point. (I don't use a case because I don't want thickness added to my phone).

I agree

Liking this comment on my v30

Watching from my v30

Yep, the V30 (and V35) are the best looking and most perfectly sized phones on the market.

@@michaelashe5265 we all have our own opinions.

Agreed update to v30/20 is like an downgrade

LOL PREACH!

@@SomeGadgetGuy it kills me man! I love new tech. But i just cant justify new phones to myself. The v20 is just too perfect for my use case scenario. Rerelease the exact same phone with an oled screen, and a silicon update, and god damn I'd happily pay upward of that 4 figure price point everyones going for these days.

@@APurpleSpy don't forget V20 directional audio HiFi recording, usable secondary screen, the ability to record switching between normal & wide at once, wider UWA (120° Selfie & 125° rear), LED notification, dedicated non hybrid dual SIM, click able fingerprint button, nearby flash camera for heartbeat tracking, All of those hardware features are removed now

Hear hear!

GOD I miss my V20. I switched to Project Fi and was forced to get a new phone in the process, and despite having a "better" G7 ThinQ, I straight up feel it's a downgrade from my V20. I miss it.

How about my LG v30s?

Me too lol

Will v35 work very well with T-Mobile?

I bought the V35 on Amazon brand new as a prime member exclusive phone for $399 unlocked. It's a VERY nice phone.

@@jrod8574 install pie on it

:-D

@40 oz I don't like you!

Yeah I agree! A REAL review an unbiased. Very good points made in the video and from a great perspective.

Just ordered mine unlocked from bhphoto

@@theish9 if I were you I'd cancel your order... Oh the comment is from 6 days ago... Dang.. well, this phones sucks ass. I don't like it

😆

I like my notch. Looked odd at first, but it's normal now.

Truth

I dropped my V10 so much less compared to the V20 because of that. Miss the volume buttons being on the back also /:

I would still use my V10 if it weren't for the fact that both of my units got the boot reload and less than a month of each other so I didn't feel compelled to continue

according to gsmarena the V40 doesn't use the earpiece as a second speaker...

No, only the bottom speaker that works. But it is the best single single speaker you can get in a chassis of that thickness.

Korea version got dual speaker...128gb storage and silky Back

Stereo speakers. and *headphone jack*

Upgrading my Fiancée to the V40 from G6. I have a V30. We love the V30 having receiver as Mic and hope the V40 has it. I am somewhat concerned that the V40 doesn't allow you to shoot video from all three cameras. The wide angle is disabled if you start recording with the main camera? What happens when you start recording in wide?

I did too, the V30 is the best phone I have ever owned.

Same here hahaha

The V30 is a great phone. LG is just so horrible when it comes to software updates

@@vernonleewarren280 and marketing

I still use the G5. Been considering the v30 now that it will be cheap. But not being able to change battery will be missed. And I believe the selfie cam is worse on the v30? How is the oled? Does it look washed out or accurate? I do prefer lcd over oled as long as oled is over saturated. A side from the image retention issues i think g5 has the best lcd blacks I’ve seen on a phone tbh.

My V20 was killed in boot loop. Same as V10 i had before V20. So, watch out! I lost many photos in both!

Well LG displays are generally cool bluish looking

lmao, that's my argument when talking with removable battery warriors. Not to mention that batteries do not degrade as fast as many think. I have tested my own G6 during the hot summer and vacationing. After a year....i have lost 3% capacity. Though that's given i take great care of my stuff and make sure its cool when charging.

Yes, I am very happy with my V20 also. I have a Pixel 2 as my main personal phone and my V20 is my business phone. I just purchased two new V20 batteries as mysteriously the original two batteries I purchase with the phone swelled up while I was on business Travel in August. Also, Verizon and LG just sent out an upgrade for my V20 to Android 8.0. Just a month after Google upgraded the Pixel 2 to Android 9.0. For me the LG V20 is a keeper for at least one more year.

I have owned the V20 since it was officially released.

@docyagamikiko 0-100% charge on your LG V20 battery in under a minute?! I've owned my V20 since 3 months after it was released & unless you can tell me exactly WHAT you use to charge your DRAINED, 0% CHARGED V20 batteries to 100% FULL CAPACITY IN UNDER ONE MINUTE I'm going to point out the obvious TRUTH about you: YOU ARE THE MOST RIDICULOUS STONE-COLD LIAR I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS! You don't even have a CLUE as to how batteries AND direct charging technology WORKS because IF YOU DID you would have had the intellegence to scale your LIE to charging from 20% to 100% in nearly 30 minutes, which would still require you to use a non-OEM charger that would heat-up or possibly over-heat your battery & would absolutely shorten its overall lifetime! Also ALL NON-ROOT V20s whether they're your's, any of mine & my various family members', or anybody else's AUTOMATICALLY SHUTDOWN WHEN & IF THE USER ALLOWS THE BATTERY'S CHARGE TO DROP BELOW 4~5% (occasionally, depending on the current activity, background usage, screen settings, power management settings, etc., the V20 will allow the battery to hit 3% before forcing a shutdown) to PROTECT the battery since, just as charging a battery to its 100% every single time shortens its overall lifetime, draining a battery BELOW 5% CAN PERMINENTLY DAMAGE IT causing it to start draining faster after each recharge, causing it to overheat faster at higher charges, causing it to be incapable of ever actually reaching a "fully" or "near-fully" charged state, or to start to swell after each time you allow it to max. discharge then max. charge it again! But my bottom-line point is that, even when you first received your never-used LG V20 or any other phone or any other battery period, the batteries always contain a bare minimum charge so they are not perminently damaged or destroyed! You are told to charge the batteries before using because if you don't & you drain that little charge they came with YOU may damage or destroy the batteries! So your battery in your V20 never has been at 0%! Maybe at 3~5% which is not smart, but NEVER AT 0% WHILE YOU'VE BEEN USING YOUR PHONE! Unless you rooted your V20 & screwed it to hell & back by disabling root-level settings designed to protect you whole device! To maximize the life of your battery start charging when it drops to 10% or just below - no lower than 8% whenever possible or you're ruining your battery. And, while it seems utterly anti-intuitive NOT to charge a battery to a full 100% EVERY CYCLE, you should ONLY charge to 100% every 10th cycle & charge to 95% MAX. the other 9 times out of 10 to maximize the health & lifespan of your lithium-ion batteries. Different batteries, such as Ni-Cads (Nickel Cadmium), have different recommendations like it being ok to charge them to 100% every 5th charge, but as an Electrical & Mechanical Engineer who has worked as a privately contracted researcher & techicnical advisor for multiple battery, energy, computer, & other tech firms more than half my life, I can say that the best way to keep your batteries charging to their fullest & holding their charge the longest while discharging, & staying as healthly & longest lasting as they possibly can be - barring the rare defect/s or power surge or other unavoidable fault that occationally will occur with any man-made or naturally produced resource - is to try to limit charging any current chemical composition type battery to 100% only once every 10 charges as often as you can & the rest of the time charge to 95%, & if you occasional stop at 90-94% it will actually help even more but don't do that all the time or you battery will potentially become unable to hold a charge greater than that! Also, it will be fine if every few charges you go as high as 96-97% or even 98% as that will further maintain your battery's ability to take & hold a 100% charge on those rare occasions that you feel you'll be needing every last bit of charge your battery can give you before you'll be able to recharge again. But as with short charging, try not to charge so high everytime or you will end up shortening your battery's life &/or performance over time. Since I bought my V20 I've charged to 97-98% every 9 out of 10 times & to 100% on the 10th charge. I'm never without a portable power-bank, currently a Charmast 26800mAh bank with 3USBs: 1 variable chip-controlled QualComm quick-charge 2.0-3.x, 1 QC quick-charge 2.0, & 1 standard charge; with 1 lightning port & 1 bi-directional USB-C port that I can either QC quick-charge 2.0-3.x any device with or use to likewise QC quickie 3.x the power-bank itself. It can charge up to 3 devices at once while using its pass-thru charging to recharge itself through its side, in-charge only micro-USB port. It's thinner than my V20 in its slim-line case & only 3.5mm wider & 7mm taller. I never used to charge my phone over-night but would instead put my power-bank inside itself padded sleeve in my back pocket with my V20 cable plugged into the chip-controlled "hyper-charge" 3.x USB port with the rest in my pocket as well & my V20 in my locking belt holster where if it need an esrly morning charge I could power-bank it while on the go & pumping my tunes through my wired buds when I wanted a more incognito look or through my Avantree Pro+ studio cans also wired whenever possible to get the best possible version of my music thanks to the V20's 32bit Quad DAC! Sadly, my battery is on it's very last legs & once it hits 50% to ~40% my phone decides it is drained & will auto-shutdown! And if I'm multi-tasking with several apps at once it will occasionally shutdown if it drops below 80% IF I forgot to go into the Developer's Settings to do some fine tuning to lessen the active apps & the number of background apps/tasks allowed! So it's time for this T-Mobile customer to JUMP! Upgrade to the newer, better cameras I've been waiting for in the 1st & ONLY phone LG has released that is in anyway an actual improvement on their V20 (because the G7, G7+, V30, & V35 were NOWHERE CLOSE TO THE V20! The V30+ WAS, but that lasted all but a few moments here in the States!), the V40!
