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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!!

Watching this on my V30

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

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!

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.

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

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

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)

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

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!

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 😉👍✌

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

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

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.

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!

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).

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

Great video subbed

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

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

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

I use your video to practice my english listening, subscribed

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

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

Lg v30+ no bump I'm good never updating

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

J I have one question for you is the LG G5 still a good device to use in 2019? I don't game I just watch the news and watch KZfaq videos like this on it is it worth it or should I get a upgraded model? Or the LG G5 just fine and will last. There's nothing wrong with it it's in really good shape except in the case. Let me know your advice if I should replace it or not.?

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

Amazing sound out of that jack! 🎧🎼

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

Nice review. Thanks

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.

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

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.

So this is a CDMA/GSM hybrid right? So once I have paid this off how will my Sprint version work if I end up living overseas? I know Japan has some CDMA network, but most other countries don't. I've been searching for an answer online, but I still don't quite understand if this phone will be good to go if I wind up living somewhere in Europe or somewhere elsewhere in the world running on GSM. Any information you or others could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks!

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

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

I used to run on a LG G4 for 4 years but just 3 days ago bought the G8s, and I wanted to get another LG phone because of the great camera's and mostly because of the Quad DAC. My question now is, I'm running mostly with Sennheiser IE80's, I have HD6XX Massdrop edition at home but they are open back so not gonna use them when I'm on the move. (Sounds amazing when I plug those in). But my IE80's are only 16 Ohms, frankly I love audio but I don't know enough about it. Does the low impedance hold the Quad DAC back? or are the IE80's of a sufficient high quality that the impedance doesn't matter. sorry if this question sounds dumb, I love high quality audio, Thats why I bought the phone and because I love LG phones but I don't know enough about audio in general. EDIT: Damn I just found out the G8s doesn't have the Quad DAC :( I'm so sad now :'(

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

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

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

The v50 or the 60 ? Which one should I get I'm not going to get any of the new ones I return my s21 ultra I'm selling my one plus 8

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!

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.

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

If I only listen to Spotify on easy to drive iems, would the V50 still make a difference in sound quality? Or is the quad dac meant for high res files and hard to drive headphones

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!!

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

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.

I'm not sure which to buy the galaxy s10 or the v50?? Please I need your honest opinion please

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.

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

love my LG v series. watching from V20

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

Hey guys... I'm on the G7...had Lg for years... Love LG... How does the iPhone 11 compare to LG 8X???

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

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

Does it still have the knock function? I've had LG for so long and have gotten so used to this feature, that I find it incredibly annoying when I use my husband's Samsung for something and start tapping the screen to wake it up, and it does nothing.

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!

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.

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

I can't tell from this review - does it have a camera? I like my V30 for its audio and photo, but cannot find the V50 in Canada.

yeah but does it get sizzling hot like all other LG phone and go into boot loop or crash

Watching this through the cracks on my V20 screen lmao

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.

very honest review.. now i know what is my next phone! lg simply the best!

Honestly if I have the V40 should I consider the V50? I know you didn't get the V40 but as of now $999 for a V50 that might end up having a price drop soon should I take the plunge or wait

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.

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

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!

I can't seem to find LG v50 dual SIM is there such a thing? Lots of G8 dual SIM on eBay but no v50

Still rocking my v30s and I love it

I love my Lgv35

SUBSCRIBED cause you really ARE honest about LG phones.

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.

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

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

Off topic, what hair products do you use ? Thank you.

I didn’t hear you mention the dual screen case that is sold with it. Have you used the dual screen?

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

sad that LG smartphones were pulled out from my country.

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.

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

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

LG V50 is the best 5G LG smartphone

I'm using V40, can we use recent LG's dual screen for that?

Does anybody know how the audio recording quality is from the internal mic compared to other phones?

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

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.

Should I buy LG50 or wait for LG60?
