ADVERTISEMENT First of all, lets look at the positives. Excellent display, aces the previous Generation v30 with better colour reproduction and brightness. 2K in vibrant colours.. Amazing Audio, keeps the famous Quad Dacy and adds Boom box Speaker, like the G7. It can drive any high impedance headphone without breaking a sweat. Camera - The main reason I got the phone.. Main Camera, Ultra wide or Telephoto. you name it. all are equally functional. with may be a bit soft images with the telephoto one.. Portrait mode works well, Ultra wide angle is so handy at times. you will only get to know once you use it. Front Camera was never LG positive, same trend continues.

we can get selfish. that's about it. Cellular reception is crystal clear and holds onto signals even in basement. Battery - This is the only let down, it will last a day max for average user. heavy user you are probably looking at charging the phone on the same day. Expected better Battery life when V30 aced with excellent standby and SOT. Hopefully a future update fixes minor issues with telephoto Camera and improves battery life.. You wont regret buying the phone. Again another good attempt from LG with some shortcomings.

This is the real 'Deal'. For a proper flagship phone (in a flagship killer price bracket in India) this device tick all the boxes, except one, and ticks some more, like a lot more.
Pros
1. The P - OLED display is just fantastic. Rich colours, supreme contrast and details. There is no colour shift or anything from what I've noticed.
2. Camera - full manual controls even for video with peaking. Fantastic low light shots and gets even more dramatic with CAM side loaded. The video recorder is unmatched with a superb dual APO mic set up to capture stereo hi-f audio. Wide angle lens on one of the secondary sensor is just amazing.

3. Build and feel - Amazingly built with the right weight. The finish is just top notch, no harsh edges and the matte back finish is just class. Even my friend with the latest OP6T felt 'aww' when he used my phone.
4. Call Quality - no compromise here.
Speaker - its loud and super crisp. When placed on a surface the bass produced is just jaw dropping.
5. Other features - IP68 water resistance, Wireless Charging, 3.5mm jack decorated with the Quad DC.

Cons
1. Slippery without a case
2. Battery life is strictly average
