A couple of months ago, LG launched its late-2017 flagship smartphone — LG V30 at IFA 2017 in Berlin. Now, the company is all set to debut the smartphone in the Indian market.

As per the report, the company will launch LG V30 smartphone in India in December and will carry a price tag of Rs. 47,990 (approx. $743). The company is also expected to provide the B&O Play headset in India along with the purchase of LG V30.

The smartphone comes with a MIL-STD-810G standard IP68 certified aluminium chassis with Gorilla Glass 5 panel on its rear side. It comes with a thermal pad and heat pipe present inside the smartphone aimed at cooling off all the heat generated inside it.

It features a 6-inch QHD+ FullVision display with a polymer-OLED (P-OLED) screen — the first flagship smartphone from LG to come with a P-OLED display. The HDR 10 compliant display has an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a screen resolution of 1,440 x 2,880 pixels.

Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset along with 4GB of RAM. It is expected to be available in both variants — 64GB internal storage and 128GB onboard storage. There is also a microSD card slot that supports storage expansion up to 2TB.

On the front side, the device comes equipped with a 5-megapixel selfie snapper.

On the software front, the LG V30 runs Android 7.1 Nougat operating system based LG UX 6.0+. However, in India, we expect the smartphone to come loaded with Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box, just like what LG did in Japan.

LG V30 was announced about two months back sporting quite a number of scintillating features including a f/1.6 aperture camera which should be one of the best we are seeing in a smartphone camera. The device also features a Full Vision display with a nearly bezel-less design.  The V30 has proven to be a lot different from other flagships in many aspects and that has again been reaffirmed by the latest Scratch, burn and bed test carried out on the V30 by JerryRigsEverything (Zacks Jerry).

We recently saw the teardown of the V30 which indicated a well thought-out internal design and hardware. The latest scratch, bend and burn test saw the V30 performing extremely well under tough conditions. The device was first subjected to a scratch test where the display is scratched with a scratch pen and the device was able to withstand up to level 6 on the Mohs scale. That is because the display is protected by a Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The scratch test was also carried out on the rest of the body and that shows the body is entirely made of metal which doesn’t scratch easily.

The V30 was next subjected to a burn test and the burn test revealed that after 10 seconds the screen started to show damage to the pixels. Since it is OLED display, the damage is irreversible but then, who exposes direct fire to a flagship’s display for up to 10 seconds? Lastly, the bend test was carried out and the V30 comes out victorious. Zacks Jerry noted that the LG V30 is a “solid, premium-feeling phone.”

To refresh our memories, the LG V30 features a 6-inch OLED display with a 1440 x 2880 resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. It has 4GB of RAM that is paired with a Snapdragon 835 SoC. A 16MP f/1.6 sensor paired with a 13MP f/1.9 lens grace its back. Up in front is a 5MP f/2.2 sensor. The V30 also comes with an IP68 rating, packs a 3300mAh battery and runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box. HEre is the Scratch, Burn and Bend test video.

LG has announced the LG V30 and V30 Plus in its home country of South Korea. Both phones were first officially unveiled in Berlin over a week ago, but LG didn’t reveal their prices. It however did that today.

While the price is for Korea, one can have a rough estimate as to how much it would cost in other countries. The LG V30 will sell for KRW 949,300 (∼$841) and the LG V30 Plus will sell for KRW 998,800 (∼$885).

The difference between the two variants is limited to just built-in storage. The V30 has 64GB and the V30+ has 128GB. It is left to you to decide if paying $40 more for an extra 64GB of storage is the right decision, after taking into consideration that they both have MicroSD card slots (256GB max).

Pre-orders for the phones will begin tomorrow, 14th of September and end on 20th of September. It will officially go on sale on the 21st before rolling out to other regions.

The LG V30 and V30 Plus may cost less than the Galaxy Note 8 (64GB =$964, 256GB = $1,107) but it doesn’t come with exciting pre-order gifts like its close competitor. Those who pre-order the V30 will be able to buy a Daydream VR headset for a discounted price of KRW1000 (∼$0.89). To be honest, that is a pretty heavy discount.

The post Korea Gets LG V30 and V30 Plus, Cheaper Than The Galaxy Note 8 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The LG V30 is the device we all know is launching on August 31st in Berlin. New report from Korea says we will be getting two LG V30s instead of one, a first for the series. One will go by the V30 name and the other will be called the V30 Plus.

The info comes from Korean news outlet, ETNews, which says the differences between the two models will be based on storage. The V30 will have 64GB and the Plus may have 128GB of storage. Other differences may include the “audio system” and the addition of wireless charging, similar to what they did with the LG G6 and G6 Plus.

For the audio system, we still don’t know what to expect since the V-series is known for its Hi-Fi audio prowess, so one can’t possibly have a Hi-Fi chip while the other doesn’t. Rumors floating around says the V30 may come with a Bang & Olufsen audio system. It remains to be seen if both phones will feature different variants of the audio system or one will keep the Quad-DAC audio support from the V20.

The pricing detail for the phones were also made public. The LG V30 will sell for $700 and the V30 Plus will be priced at $875. Both devices will go on sale on September 15. Since ETNews says both devices will have the same display, RAM, cameras, battery and IP rating, it means buyers will be paying $175 more for extra storage, wireless charging and a better audio system.

The LG V30 will have 6GB of RAM, 16MP and 13MP rear cameras and LG’s version of Android Pay. ETNews also adds that the V30 has gotten praises about its “outstanding design” and “sense of grip” from Mobile carriers who have had a hands-on experience with the phone. The sense of grip comment is definitely referring to the portability of the device despite it’s large 6-inch display, thanks to its small bezels and unique display size.

The post LG V30 and V30 Plus Launching Same Day For $700 and $875 Respectively appeared first on Gizmochina.

LG is set to unveil the LG V30 flagship smartphone on August 31 and a launch poster for that date is already out. As the date draws closer, it is expected that regular leaks and renders of the device would appear online every now and then. One of such renders of the V30 has surfaced in an introductory video but this one appears to be an official video of the V30.

With the appearance of the LG logo at the end of the video and the title suggesting that it is an introductory video of the V30, the design is thus likely the real design of the V30. The video was posted on YouTube by Concept Creator which is known for fan-generated renders of unannounced phones. Their renders most times end up being the concept of their imagination. We can’t say that for sure in this case because the render matches up with a previously leaked photo purported to be the real V30.

The video shows the device from all angles and captures the absence of a secondary display on the front panel just as earlier rumoured. The renders also show a dual camera setup at the rear with LED flash as well as what looks like laser autofocus. There is also a rear mounted fingerprint sensor under the dual cameras. The renders sees the V30 written at the bottom part of back cover, different from an earlier leak which shows there’ll be a change with “LG” written instead.The specifications of the V30 are still sketchy as of this moment but the device is tipped to pack a 5.7-inch display with QHD resolution and an 18: 9 aspect ratio. The device is also expected to come with 6GB of RAM and powered by the Snapdragon 835 chip. The interface is expected to be provided by LG UI based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
