Combination of metal and glass, the new LG V30 is designed beautifully but constructed to last. LG makes use of H-Beam structure, a construction technique integrate the edge with a metal frame to enhance durability and makes for tensile strength. MIL-STD 810G or meets U.S. Department of Defense requirements for amazing durability. Heat pipe and a cooling pad is present to keep things cool inside. Has IP68 water and dust resistance certification. The front and back Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is curved all the way around the edge which gives it an "EDGIER" look.
LG V30 sports a 6 inch 18:9 QHD+ (2880 x 1440) OLED FullVision Display. This gives a entertainment-grade quality visuals further more the screen said to offers faster response time and so gets minimal afterimages and tearing. This is also attributed to Qualcomm Processor. Second Screen has been removed in place of new Always-on Display (AOD) feature and Floating Bar. Level up more on the visuals and pair it with VR as LG V30 is Google Daydream ready.
Launch your apps and get things done as LG V30 is powered by the latest Snadpragon 835 coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB Internal Storage. There is a V30+ with a 4GB RAM and 128GB setup but same in all aspects (available in limited markets).
LG partnership with close partnership with B&O PLAY. LG V30 gets 32-bit Advanced Hi-Fi Quad DAC powered by ESS Technology’s SABRE ES9218P. Two new features are digital filters and sound presets. LG engineers studied the characteristics of popular tones and identified the best combination of sounds to create four optimal pre-programmed settings: enhanced, detailed, live and bass. LG gains another partner- MQA Ltd. that facilitates high resolution audio streaming and is now made available to consumers. LG V30 gets a set of earphones by B&O PLAY, also finely tuned for an optimal listening experience.
Dual Camera is here to stay as LG V30 is equipped with 16MP Standard Angle (F1.6 / 71°) Main Camera as well as a 13MP Wide Angle (F1.9/ 120°). Wide Angle lens said to be improved with two-thirds less edge distortion than in the V20. Crystal Clear Glass now serves protection for cameras which delivers more accurate colors and clearer images than a plastic lens. There is a new Cine Video mode produces movies like a pro with Cine Effect and Point Zoom features. Manual Mode gets new level of capability with Graphy letting you set presets such as white balance, shutter speed, aperture and ISO same as images found on Graphy Website. Main camera is supported by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Hybrid Auto Focus. Front Camera is at 5MP Wide Angle (F2.2 / 90°).
LG V30 gets modern connectivity such as LTE-A, WiFi AC, Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and NFC. USB Type-C handles direct connectivity for charging, data and supports peripherals via USB-OTG.
Battery is at 3300mAh and supports Quickcharge 3.0 and Wireless Charging.
The V30 will become available to consumers in South Korea starting on September 21 and will be followed by key markets in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Will come in colorful set in Aurora Black, Cloud Silver, Moroccan Blue and Lavender Violet. LG V30+ will have limited availability in selected markets.
I really like the direction of LG for their flagship line. The produce beautifully crafted device but manage to make it solid and built to withstand wear and tear. They packed the LG V30 with FullVision Display, Snapdragon 835, Dual Rear High Resolution Cameras, HiFi Quad Dac Audio, Future-proof Connectivity and IP68 Rating. They covered everything aspect from built, visuals, performance, optics, sound. Hopefully they manage to win back their customers and improve their after sales service.
