The V line is the last hope for us audio nerds

Anyone who loves LG phones is a friend of mine!

Not even LG covered the V50 so what do you expect?😂😂 Seriously, they have great products with almost 0 marketing.

This guy is an audiophile 😅 he'll never stop fighting for the headphone jack and I love it. It's how I even found him in the first place, headset reviews. Subbed for the commentary. Haven't seen any of those in a while tho but that's ok.

Finally!!!!! It's nice to see and hear somebody talking about this phone.

Jason you may be the only tech reviewer that actually likes the LG V50 as a daily driver. Love your (painfully) honest thoughts man.

The LG V series is the best phone out there period. I will keep my V30 till it dies.

LG NEEDS to revisit the V20 design. It was great! IR Blaster, REMOVABLE BATTERY!, Quad DAC, Mini second screen on top.

I'm still rocking my V30 two years later and I'm still loving the thing.

Great video Jason!! I agree with you completely on the aspect of its sound with the Quad DAC!!! LG is very underrated I must say!!!

I use my beloved V30 daily and can't justify the need/want for a new phone right now. The V30 was ahead of its time in my opinion. I love my V30!

Watching this on my V30

At last, am LG V50 review on KZfaq. I thought it was never going to happen. Great job.

I like your energy bro!!! I haven't seen anyone but you cover this yet

Love LG - woefully underrated, and they don't know how to market themselves at all. I'm running a v40, and a V30 then a G4 - all terrific - love the quad dac, the range of manual control in both vid and pic - a real creators phone - kills me that they're not more successful - keep up the good work!

LG phones are all so underrated, since the G4 and the V10 both lines have been very good in value and performance (except the G5)

Hitted the like button for good measure as for all your V series videos 👊. Keep on keeping on 🎧

Thanks for reviewing this LG phone, V50. LG has the best Audio DAC in any smart phones! The ES9218P used in V50 has "analog volume control", that's audiophile grade volume control.

JTL reviews unsung heroes. Thank you for reviewing that device , I didn’t know it was released. LG is so underrated ! Considering it now. Many thanks for the video!

I'm still rocking the LG V20. Love the Headphone Jack and changeable battery. Was considering upgrading to the Note 10+ but they killed the headphone jack. Non-audio people will never understand. So I am looking at the LG50 as a daily driver.

I am going to wait until 5g is actually useable before buying it, but I am an lg fan boy for sure

4000mah battery, headphone jack, microsd, lg cameras. Sounds really great. On the other side, headphone jack is something very simple. Contains 3 wires, left, right, ground. Wondering why manufacturers didnt generate a standard with a smaller audio jack that replaces the 3.5mm standard audio jack (to make more room inside the phones).

You are getting better, and better my friend. You are entertaining. Keep growing. Keep trying to get better.

V20 proud user here planning to upgrade to v50 hopefully this christmas 😊

LG V series line up is the most UNDERRATED and BEST VALUE for your dollar when it comes to flagship smartphones!!!

Jason Love your Reviews and Videos and Yes LG should definitely be get a little more attention because I just picked up one for my Son not to long ago and always hear some gripes about one thing or another but he has always been LG fan so he is really enjoying his device with that said I liked it as well So Thanks so much for sharing this one and really enjoyed Deb 😉👍✌

Thank you for your comprehensive short review with all pros and cons mentioned thereof.

The lg g8 does all of this for around $300 on sale and everyone panned it. *Sips tea*

Still rocking the V30+ and loving it, yeah LG doesn't update anything on time but it's able to get root and I gotta have my root. Also it's just a great phone.

I love my LG V50...and you are right about it.

Hey J- Thanks for getting back to the V50. I am so pleased it didn't bomb! Take care!

saw you chanel talking about a phone i never heard of, enjoyed it and subbed to your channel :D thanks for the review

Amazing sound out of that jack! 🎧🎼

Lg v30+ no bump I'm good never updating

Yooooo I NEVER even knew this phone was out! Thanks for the vid

I use your video to practice my english listening, subscribed

I really like my v40. It has a headphone jack 😎

I got it half off at Sprint. Thank God for employee discounts

An impartial informative and helpful review of a phone that I would seriously consider getting 👍

Thanks for doing the review I forgot how much I love lg phones picked up this phone today and i live in iowa to your review helped me decide thanks again!!

love my LG v series. watching from V20

The Problem with the Lg V50 is that it is almost the exact same as the Lg G8 thinq both have OLED screens, both have a fantastic Hifi Quad Dac for their headphone Jacks, Cameras nearly the same but one extra camera, ect but missing 5g. I can buy a Lg G8 thinq for 650$ at best buy or the Lg G7 Thinq for 400$ new unlocked. You can also buy the Lg V35 thinq for 300$ unlocked. All the phones i listed have pratically the same specs as each other. The LG V50 is a fantastic phone but a 1000$ is too expensive when I can buy all these other phones that are all just like the Lg V50 for less than half the price. Its a no for me.

JT - this is the niche. Audio and tech enthusiasts. To put it bluntly, can't trust anyone else who dismisses the headphone jack. Great video. Extremely disappointed with the Note 10 (and 10 pro/plus) not having a headphone jack, although crossing my fingers that it's compensated with a DAC enabled Type-C to 3.5 dongle.

Great review! The LG V-series are great phones. I purchased the LG G8 in April. Granted it only has 2 cameras...a wide and a normal lens. That's fine for me. But I paid $619 from T-Mobile, and then received another $310 off for adding a much-needed line of service. The Quad DAC is unreal. It's night and day compared to other phones. You'd have to buy a $300+ hi-res player to match that sound. LG V and G phones also have the best haptic engine on the planet. I can type at 90+ words-per-minute on SwiftKey. It so much faster and pleasing than my old Blackberry keyboard, and light years better than my previous Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. So save yourself $600, go on Swappa and buy yourself a mint condition G8. All of the goodness of the V50--minus the useless-for-now 5G, and the telephoto lens--at $600 less. Plus the G8 is a more manageable size.

I found an lg v30 on the side of a river in a submerged canoe 2 months ago. Been looking for the owners ever since. Couldnt find the owners so my friend gave me the phone. Unfortunately for me, it was locked to tmobile and the imei was blacklisted. So i spent $60US for a verizon/unlocked motherboard and swapped them out. Now i have a really nice phone, thst fully works, for only $60 and an hour of my time

As a carpenter I've I unlocked my v30 with complete dusty hands with little bits of glue on it and no issues. Meanwhile my work colleague has a S10 and always can't use his front reader

Watching from my LG G4 with leather back cover, emovable battery etc.. Love it. 3 good years so far now. V50 is next!

As a big LG fan, I love seeing someone giving it the well-deserved credits. Coming from the awesome V40, I have little reason to upgrade to the V50 if 5G is pretty much the only stand out feature. It does have a 2nd screen accessory that I am curious about and I hope it will be presented in more details on this channel. For all my LG phones, I have been using Ringke Fusion cases which are cheap, clear design and have decent shock protection. They also provide back panel templates for all their cases so you can cut up some pictures of your choice and stick it to the back of the clear case.

How did you mention the Galaxy Fold and NOT talk about the dual screen case you can get for this phone?! :O

Yeah, bought the V50 specifically for the QUAD DAC. Made the jump from IPhone just that really wasn't that hard.

Watching this on my V30+ and I can't wait to get my V50. I'm exited for it.

I have the v40 and love it. I don't think 1k is a bad price point for the v50. I love the note series but i am leery of how much they will cost. I will ALWAYS own an LG Device whether as my main phone or a secondary one for the quad dac. Thank you for reviewing this phone!

Typing this on my LG V50! Yes it is the best! 😁 I turned off the Google Assistant button because I kept pressing it by accident.

"You can touch it just about anywhere and any way and it will work" ... I want this phone to be my girlfriend.

Still rocking my V20 with that Quad DAC jack and Tidal MQA. The V60 will be announce soon.

V40 fingerprint reader was also very good. Glad to see that you are trying something different. I had to order my case on Amazon and I had to wait several weeks for a good one after using a cheap one in the meantime

I’ve got the lg g8 in carmine red. Awesome phone 👍

I own V30+ .. best in class battery camera and display. DTS support Head phone jack

Very true. Glad to hear you giving LG some love on this one (sent from a note 9)

I'm coming back from LG V30 era to see the new audio concentrate LG and find this review answered my query.

Still rocking my v30s and I love it

Jason: iPhone is unbearably expensive and Apple thinks you're stupid. Also Jason: This $999 LG is my favorite phone.

This makes me happy. Had a v20 for forever. Second screen and fingerprint reader were spot on. I think Xperia devices are also underrated honestly. Rocking an XA2 Ultra. Old now, but still holds up.

First off, great video. Not many review videos on the V50 except if they tested it on a 5G network. I bought the LG V50 when Verizon was offering $450 trade in credits for some ridiculously old phones like the Galaxy S5 (which I bought off eBay for $50 so easy $400 off). Been very happy with the V50 so far for the two and a half weeks I've used it. Audio has been wonderful with my Sennheisers (M2 and PXC 550) and I use them all the time at work. Tried the video portait mode a few times and it worked better than I expected. Night Mode pictures are not as good as the Pixel 3 (which is my work phone) but they're decent. Love the manual photo/video controls. Fingerprint reader is much better than the Note 9. The notch bothers me much less than the hole punches and LG hides the notch pretty well. Yes there's a bigger bezel but if I'm watching a movie or KZfaq video, it is not going to interfere with the content. A hole punch you can't hide. My biggest gripe that nobody mentioned in any video/review is its interaction with Android Auto. For whatever reason when I'm trying to create texts it sometimes won't get the "send" command or at times not even record what I said. It's an intermittent issue but frustrating to say the least. Otherwise as you said, this phone for whatever reason is not getting the fanfare it deserves. Probably because it doesn't say "Samsung" on it and it is only available on Sprint an Verizon. Saw a few reviews knocking the phone because there is no unlocked version. Ummmm...does the S10 5G have an unlocked version and does that get mentioned??? Exactly. Keep up the good work!

10-15% standby battery drain overnight? That's a bit drastic, isn't it?

Love my V30, sadly it will be my last LG because of their pathetic Android updating schedule.

Great video subbed

You mention using the phone jack with HD 600 series headphones, I guess with around 300 ohms. I use my LG V40 with a Sennheiser HD 599 with 50 ohms. It mates very well with the V40. Will this DAC/amp combo adequately sound through your 600? Would you need to couple it with an external amp./DAC to power those cans up? Thanks, and appreciate the review.

I love my Lgv35

I’d definitely consider this if I was in the market for a $1k phone, but I don’t think I want to spend more than 400 or so. The pixel 3a is my max.

maybe I missed it but did you make any mention of sound quality of external speakers? I'm assuming they're dual front facing and sound fantastic since this is the V line, tho I think one yr at least it had single speaker 🔊 Love your vids!

I wanted to get a V50 but I would have had to change carriers from AT&T to Sprint or Verizon. AT&T doesn't have it yet. I also would have had to pay full price. So, since the 5g network isn't up and running widely for a couple of years, I got a new V40 for less than half price. I'm happy with the LG V40.

✋ Here's a crisp high five from a fellow Iowan.

Still using my V20, spectacular phone, but I've replaced the screen twice now and managed to smash it again, the connectors inside are getting a little too worn to do it again now though. Trying to decide if to just buy another new V20 (which you can get super cheap) or jump to something new, there just isn't much out there that can do what this beast can, battery life is my only complaint, and at this point the 820 is a little slow.

my LG V20 finger print reader has always worked pretty much flawlessly. It's always been fast and it especially works well if you add multiple profiles for your unlock fingers.

Nice to get a review on this phone. A couple months ago I bought a pixel 3 XL. Then I saw a brand new Verizon LG V40 for under 500 with the matte blue color. I've been back and forth but can't leave this v40. It's my favorite until the v50.

I got this phone as soon as it was released for verizon. Amazing phone overall and no issues so far. Great review

V50 is the V40 with more memory, 5G capability ( that's why your battery life suffers - use dark theme - it help big time ), and an upgraded Snapdragon 855 vs 845 chip. Not worth the money. I have a V40 - should have gotten that for $620.00 now. I won't upgrade to the V50 - simply not worth the money. And you still get the same Hi-Fi Quad Dec.

If I'm not mistaken, Ohms and Sensitivity are entirely different measurements. Ohms is the amount of resistance a pair of headphones has, Sensitivity is how much they output per some given amount of power. This is why headphones like the HiFiMan HE6 are amongst the hardest to drive even though they're only 50 Ohms.

Great video bud. It seems to hit most of my checklist, which is pretty small. Music junkie so I need the headphone jack and the quad dac is a great touch. Wireless charging is a must. I wish it were a bit smaller and missing the notch. Hate notches. I do wonder about the camera though. With a 6 year old and a newborn, photos and videos are a huge deal.

sad that LG smartphones were pulled out from my country.

It's sad but not sad at the same time because the V50 is an okay phone, but they tarnished their brand way back with the G4, G5, V10, V20 bootloops and terrible screens that ghosts. On top of that, they are notorious in the tech community to seldom release fast updates. Which is why this phone barely gets any coverage. If you really are interested, just wait like 6 months, because the prices will tank.

One major feature that LG phone's have that I love is, tap to wake and sleep. No always having to push a power button, just to sleep your phone or wake it. Many,many fancy phone s, don't have that built in. And just try downloading an app like that. Just bought a v50, yeah I know, behind the time's, but I will NEVER, pay 900 plus bucks, for a 2 year, toy. Thanks.

As a V30 user, I'm still quite happy with the phone, especially the Quad DAC (bought it because of this feature); yet the lack of software update really annoys me...

And i'm still using my LG V20, still the best phone for me

Watching this through the cracks on my V20 screen lmao

The bluetooth trouble steams from the fact, that LG V series supports pretty much every audio codec via bluetooth and depending on what you set it to in the developer options it tends to focus on quality rather than stability. You can set your preference in the bluetooth options as well as the developer options though.

Love my V30 and holding on to it for as long as I can!

People don't buy LG's because even the flagships never get updated

Stopped watching when you mentioned the $999 price! Normal people will not pay one grand for ANY phone....

Any followup updates regarding the battery or any overall performance after lg/android updates? Thanks

Man, I LOVED the V20 so much when I had it. Haven’t used LG since.

LG V50 is the best 5G LG smartphone

It's fine recommending an lg phone if you switch back and forth between different phones all the time but LG have killed themselves off by not updating there phone's. Since I've had the of g6 it's received a grand total of two software updates... They become hard to recommend for this reason personally OnePlus is my new go to or even xiaomi

SUBSCRIBED cause you really ARE honest about LG phones.

Had the v10 & v20. Loved the DAC, and the device was fantastic on days when i was traveling with the swappable battery. When they removed the swappable battery and i realized i was going to have to carry other crap (Inc cords), I now carry a tablet for watching and listening when I'm in flight. Miss the DAC though...and swappable batteries, ha.

Loved the LG V20 until lag and eventually boot loop. I know I'm not the rule but the exception but it was a bummer.

LG makes better phones than half the top Android phones.

Would love to see a video of you reviewing the new Asus Rog 2.
