Honestly if LG worked on their battery capacity, software updates, and just their overall advertising program then their phones would definitely be the best Android alternative to Samsung

The good old v20 with the removable battery.. I still have it, stuffed a huuuuge 10500mAh battery on the back.. Now i have 3 days in one charge 👌😁

Does v40 have raw format recording? LG-Log file in cine video mode? or does it only adds color filter over video?

It still has a headphone jack

Great Review! And im loving the new HDR Advanced on the V40!

cool intro. i thought my quality are set on 240p at first then slowly turned to HD. cool editing.

Thanks for the headphone jack LG, you are awesome

Great review 👍 as always by GSMArena. I watched the shots on GSMArena site review. LG V40 's camera samples look gorgeous! Too bad, I bought the G7 a few months ago. I'm very pleased with it, but the V40 has a zoom x2 lens in addition to g7, that makes it unbeatable. And the quality of zoomed in shots look fantastic! I don't know if I have to trade my g7 for v40 . This phone is a temptation! !

Damn that red colour version is lit 😎

6 gigs of ram 2k oled screen Bigger battery Improved UI Stereo speaker Less than 800$ These things would have made the v40 one of the best phones of 2018

watching the g7 review of Angie, I was surprised to know that a 3 ampere battery of g7 had a 77 hr endurance rating than the lg v40 with 3.3 ampere battery with 64 hrs rating!! is this correct as this one has amoled display, and should be less power consumption??

I have the v20 and its update time should I get the v40 or go with the new Samsung phone. The v20 was awesome to me but always wanted a galaxies phone

I really like mine. I've had it since Christmas Eve and it has excelled in everything I have needed it to do. I don't do much photography, so maybe I don't notice the limitations as much. I have used Galaxy Notes and an Xs...this is just as good!

Flashlight shortcut key in "always on display" isn't working, have been using the mobile only for a month. Edit: After multiple restarts it finally started to work.

simply the best I'll be getting this phone soon,

Planning to get one. Miss my v20. Was great.

best audio for audiophiles. i need my 3.5 jack. go lg go....never change. i love lg.

You are way underrated. U deserve more subs

I bought a very good condition V30 for 250$ in Korea and installed the latest cstark google camera port. I couldn't be happier. It's a pleasure to use V30. Hope V40 price also goes down like that. Oh BTW, the software on the V30 is very smooth. Haven't experienced any stutter, I was actually worried about that before buying but it's much better than I expected. My previous S8 plus was stuttering like hell, ugh Samsung.

Watching on my LG V30...best phone I've ever had..

This one is my next camrad. Since 2010 bought 6 mobiles. All are LG. Coz the way they make devices. If you have the pure instinct you will realize how good is LG. Life is good 👍😊👌

@@quchi7232 The Manuel camera on LG phones are just awesome. But the camera hardware on the V30 is just not good... I had the V30 for the last whole year. I loved the camera software but the hardware with things like the small 1.0µm pixels ruins it a bit. I don't know who thougth it is a good idea to use smaller sensors on the V30. That's just stupid. And I don't even want to start about the wide angle camera which shrinks with every new model (135° -> 125° -> 120° -> 107° ...). "Less distortion" is just a bullshit argument. That's like saying that they use only x1.5 optical zoom because x2.0 has a smaller wide angle...

The LG v40 is $400 unlocked at Costco.com right now. My OP6T has a RAM consumption issue. I literally have to restart it 10+ times a day to clear the RAM. Is the V40 just as good?

Can you advise if the device supports RCS?

Good , best and Honest review every youtuber must follow. Headsdown for gsmarena

I was really close to buying the lgv30 last year but I'm glad I held out I just bought the v40 yesterday and my God it's the most beautiful phone I've ever owned I was really close to getting the pixel the LG just won me over I haven't had a LG since a flip phone and a k20v I bought in 2016

Does it still have the cine log tho?

Great review, thanks :)

I just got an almost new one on ebay for just $160, and I love it.

Overall a good review of a great phone ..thanks GSMArena ! Other reviews are so biased that you don't get to see the product., so kudos to the reporting . Also incredible , engaging sharp B-Roll ! I have this phone and watched the review to see how GSMarena treated it . I only wish the reviewer would have stated that the battery was 20% smaller capacity than the other $900 plus flagships and that performance was on par for the specified capacity. Also very glad the reviewer did not harp on OS version Oreo as others do . An update , LG and most carriers discounted the phone immediately $150 to $200 making it just over $700 a week after it was announced ., so like the battery 20% less $$ than the other flagships . Kenny

Nice review!

If LG just fixed their shit with software they would be on top of the market right now. Disappointing as they make beautiful phones with superb attention to hardware detail. :/

I like my v35 cause it fits my every day Life as a nomal person ! also don't forget the v20 won't get any more updates!

Anyone heard or encounter screen burn on this model? Just wanna confirm before i upgrade. I got a screen burn issue on v20 :(

I wonder if LG reduced the min and max voltage / state of charge to preserve battery life? Probably wishful thinking haha. I'm really interested in the video capabilities of this phone, 4k looks really great! And now 8 months later I can get it used for much less. Sounds like a steal to me. Thanks for the video and all your excellent reviews! Your site is awesome :)

does it use its own messaging app instead of the google messages?

Hi. I'm thinking about getting either lg v30 or lg v40. My main focus is music. Is there any difference in sound quality between the two phones - even if it's minor. I will use Focal Clear for the music on the go, so any little bit of extra quality will be noticeable.

That's what happens when you don't have a good marketing department... Many people complained about the power button on the back because they didn't know how to activate the screen by double tap. As a brand, if you are going to implement features in a way that is not the standard, you have to tell people about it and how to use them! It doesn't matter if you (LG) has always had the double tap wake up feature, you have to think about the costumers who has never had an LG phone before. And that's only one of the problems with the marketing of LG phones on recent years

There's a lot to like about the V40 but it will never cease to amaze me why LG didn't put a bigger battery in a phone this size and doesn't spend more time trying to get the basics on their cameras right. With a f1.5 aperture on their main camera it should be able to go head-to-head with the Galaxy s9 and Note 9 but they still lag behind.

what is that game you are playing on 4:54

Gsm arena's site states that it has FM Radio receiver. Though this phone has everything n looks brilliant, the users in Greece say that it has Not FM Radio. LG kept away this feature from European release. It's weird. So I'm sticking with my G7 thinQ which it has FM Radio, but unfortunately no telephoto lens, a miss for me.

You guys should review the Xiomi Mi Mix 3

Totally agree with you, they should have just stick with the power button as the fingerprint scanner and no additional buttons at the sides accept for the volume button as it is way more cleaner. The design of the phone is nice though but battery size is really the main downside to this phone.
