There’s a lot to like about the V30 becuase it’s like LG has taken the G6 and upgraded it in key areas and even refined the already sleek design. Now the price is a more reasonable £599 we can highly recommend this phone which offers excellent design, screen, cameras and audio

The V30 is a really good phone in a sea of great ones, and it just doesn’t do enough to stand out from the crowd.

The LG V30 is a confident step forward, not just for LG’s experimental smartphone branch, but for its flagship devices in general. Simply put, this is LG’s best in recent memory and as a result, it’s also one of 2017’s best smartphones.

It’s fairly obvious from the specs comparison that the V30 is the better and more powerful version of the two. Its performances will be more satisfying thanks to the better chipset, and its multimedia quality will make it a contender to be among the best smartphones in the world.
But it is a bit more expensive than the already efficient G6, so the choice really depends on your preferences. If you have a G6 and multimedia performances aren’t your main preoccupation, then you should probably stick with it. But if you’re looking to upgrade your phone and can’t decide between the two, we’d definitely recommend the V30.

So the V30’s screen might be a letdown, but performance is certainly an area in which this device excels. The combination of a Snapdragon 835 and 4GB of RAM is potent, and while it isn’t quite as snappy as the

LG has once again stuck with a dual-camera array for the V30, with a 16-megapixel unit and a wide-angle 13-megapixel camera. I’ve spoken to lots of people who adore this option, but I’d settle for a telephoto lens and a sleek portrait mode over it anyday.

For the first time in the series, the 3300mAh cell inside the LG V30 isn’t user-replaceable. This will disappoint some – but, realistically, it would be impossible to create such a good-looking device that still let you rip off the back.
