LG’s G6 hasn’t exactly been the best device it has this year, however in IFA 2017, the company has finally showed off the LG V30 smartphone, sporting a gorgeous 6-inch 18:9 OLED FullVision display, weighing merely 158g and having a thickness of 7.3mm, which the company claims that it is “the lightest among smartphones in the 6-inch and over category.” The LG V30 also happens to be the first smartphone to be equipped with an f/1.6 camera on its 16-megapixel standard angle lens, it still has a 13-megapixel wide angle lens like the LG G6 which takes pictures with a f/1.9 aperture.
What’s missing in the LG V30 this time, is the secondary display that has been present in the V20 and V10, and LG is replacing that feature with an always-on-display like how Samsung did with its devices, the always-on-display feature will provide shortcuts to apps with a floating bar, while showing music playback controls and some quick tools. In terms of performance, the LG V30 is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor mated to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage, while we are rather surprised with LG’s decision to include a questionably small 3300mAh battery similar to the Galaxy Note 8. On top of that, the LG V30 is IP68 water and dust resistant and complies to MIL-STD 810G standards, it also sports a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, wireless charging, voice and facial recognition.
