LG has finally unveiled one of the most anticipated smartphones of this year, the LG V30. Unlike the predecessor models that featured a secondary ticker screen, the LG V30 ditches it for good. It is packed with several multimedia features and it comes with an amazing f/1.6 aperture camera sensor.

LG V30 Design

LG V30 sports a MIL-STD-810G standard IP68 certified aluminum chassis with Gorilla Glass 5 panel on its rear side. It measures 151.7 x 75.4 x 7.4 mm. Since it weighs 158 grams, it is lighter than the LG G6 that has a smaller design. Thermal pad and heat pipe present inside the LG V30 kills all the heat created inside it. It will be coming in four color options such as Black, Titan, Sliver and Pink.

LG V30 Display

The LG V30 is the first among all the LG flagship phones to come with a polymer-OLED screen (P-OLED) coupled with FullVision design that was introduced on the LG G6. The Moto Z2 Force’s ShatterShield unbreakable screen also features a P-OLED display as we can understand how durable the display of LG V30 will be.

The HDR 10 compliant 6-inch FullVision display of the LG V30 delivers an aspect ratio of 18:5 and a resolution of 1,440 x 2,880 pixels. The side bezels are not visible and the upper and lower bezels are slim which allows the LG phablet to deliver an aspect ratio of 82 percent.

LG V30 Hardware

The Snapdragon 835 chipset powers the LG V30 along with 4 GB of RAM. It will be available in two storage choices such as 64 GB and 128 GB. It also features a microSD card slot that supports up to 2 TB microSD card. LG has packed a non-removable 3,300mAh battery inside the LG V30 which can be charged quickly through USB-C through Quick Charge 3.0.

LG V30 Cameras

The frontside of the phablet is fitted with a 5-megapixel selfie snapper.

The LG V30 continues to feature a 3.5mm headphone slot and the sound experience is enriched with Bang & Olufsen audio system. The audio receive of the LG V30 also functions like a microphone.

With the new LG UX 6.0+ overlaid on LG V30’s Android 7.1 Nougat OS, the company has introduced 9 different kinds of Always-on Display screens that allows users to access notifications and quick tools from the lock screen. The secondary ticker screen has been replaced by a new software feature called Floating Bar feature which contains quick access to capture tools like GIF animator and screen grab, app shortcuts, incoming calls, music player and quick contacts.
