yeah but they still lacked water resistance way after samsung and apple implemented it into their phones. Don't get me wrong they do have some good quality stuff but they tend to fall behind on some things.
This phone slipped under the radar of all upcoming smartphones like Apple or one plus or Samsung or other brands ,in the past LG was one of the big phone company out there but not so much anymore its kinda sad you know to see something like that to such a good company like LG.
yeah I agree with you I'm a big fan of LG and I can't just move on and ignore the fact that LG does not make good phones anymore. personally I think they don't even possed a plan for making phones as well as compeeting. but I still like it and recently I was quite confused about which phone to buy G4 or G5, and after a long time of thinking I've decided to order an G5
You're right... LG doesn't make good phones anymore. They make GREAT phones! I've been using the GYM for almost 2 years without so much as a glitch! Still runs just as fast as when I got it! I'll be upgrading to the V40 on Black Friday.
I don't know what you're talking about... A couple years ago I picked up the LG v20 which was sold at Verizon unbeknownst to most people. In fact very few people bought it but that doesn't mean it wasn't available. V30 was an excellent Improvement. And the v40 is truly a well-rounded fantastic phone. I am not budget limited I bought it because I think it's the best phone available plus where I live I don't have service and I can't get Samsung to ring on Wi-Fi never have been able to do that. But listen the LG v40 is just a beautiful phone in every way. It runs super fast all of the wireless cameras and speakers in my house which has been a tough assignment for my Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and 821 based phones. The finish on the v40 is beautiful one of the nicest looking phones out there. And a quad DAC means that both my v20 that I used to have and my new v40 are the only phones out there worth using with my $1,000 focal headphones ... which saves me $500 that I don't have to invest in something like a pioneer dedicated DAC unit. People can get onto TH-cam and make off hand comments a lot easier then people can do the research into these types of things and look at the demographic that these phones are catered to. When the v20 came out it was the first phone that they were actually doing video advertisements on TH-cam using the phone itself. It's always been a very heavy media phone but people just buy the G Series instead therefore the V series has been depreciating and underrated and under recognized! The fact of the matter is the v20 was an unknown and unnoticed phone the v40 is finally being seen as a super high-tech ahead-of-its-time phone. Well so were its predecessors. Nobody knows these things because they are too busy writing rather than reading!
Apple didn't actually removed the audio jack. They just repositioned it to the middle. So that there would be two speakers for better sound. And the new earphones that comes from the box has a usb type c connector instead of a jack. Which you can connect to the charging port of an iPhone instead to the audio jack So how about you do some research first before telling that "tHanKs to wHat AppLE DiD"
FM1 FM1 Oh look another Apple Hater. I don't even think you understand my comment. So how about you search for " Usb Type C Earphones " you salty ass kid
@@jellyfish4218 I know that they just put the connector to the same input as the charger input. But thats bullshit. First I dont wanna pay 100$ more for some earplugs and second you cant charge and listen at the same time. But wait there is a splitter? You have to buy that thing too and you have to carry it around the whole time. Also they dont had to remove it, they could have just placed the input somewhere different like on the topside or something. I mean other smartphones can do that too, why cant Apple do it then?
@@rubenzwr3782 Lmao I'm so triggered by your comment (I'm gonna be honest about that) because LG's V series are waaay better than most phones you'd find today. Rn I'm rocking a V20 and the options available are just out of this world, only downside is the outdated processor, but that's the same for all outdated phones. I hope you used an LG v phone before you messaged about how "bad" it is, because I doubt you'd say that once you've used one.
I gotta say you really did not spend much time on the most important aspect of this phone.... The hi-fi quad dac. There are only two phone brands in recent memory that have done that... HTC with boomsound and LG with the quad dac. It may seem useless to some at first, but if you spend 15 minutes with a galaxy s8/s9/note... etc you notice immediately that the headphone use with a phone like that sounds dull and bland. The LG smartphones make a $15 pair of headphones sound like $300 headphones.... I'm sure you swap phones all the time, but I HIGHLY recommend you spend just a week using a quad dac LG phone for all your audio (especially for car Auxiliary use and watching youtube videos with headphones). You'll never be able to go back to Apple or Samsung.
I've been an HTC fanboy for the past 7 years because of the exceptional audio quality, but they lost me this year after dropping the headphone jack. Thankfully LG is still committed to quality audio and for that reason alone i decided to jump on the LG train and I'm loving it so far.
@@brandontrost8888 Yeah and also alot of people we're complaining about "notch" on this phone and found out there's an setting to get rid of it, not alot of TH-camrs covered that feature lol
I agree with a lot of the comments below...LG is highly underrated! They make reasonably priced AWESOME devices! I guess they don't need to advertise, much, their products sell themselves by word of mouth & proven capability to last! ❤ LG🔝
They have a major issue of not honing their product well , there are a bunch of noticeable glitches here and there .. In addition to the major cost cutting where this is an expensive product that shouldn't have seen any cost cutting
My first LG was the V10 and it had the DAC headphone jack and I always used Bluetooth over ear headphones. Then the battery went low so I plugged in a wired pair and never went back. It seriously made a difference. A lot of customizing even for a phone from 4 years ago.
@Nasty Yan yeah it came out in October 2015 and I got it in Feb 2016 and still have it actually. But my batter doesn't last. I had to buy new batteries and I'll use 4 fully charged batteries in 1 day.
@Nasty Yan It actually wasn't present on the G5 or V20. The bootloop issues were specifically on LG flagships from 2015 (G4, V10, and Nexus 5X). My brother and I both have the V20 and it would shut off by itself, but that was due to faulty batteries (that were easily replaced).
Please test this device for a week or so. You didn't test the phones audio recording capabilities. When you take a normal phone to a concert, the audio clips terribly. This phone actually does a decent job at recording audio.
Nope. In a 100 years the camera is your eyeballs. You do not even need to have anything installed inside you. They would have a device that could tap to all your senses and download it in real time to anything that you can think of. Hell for all i know, that device is probably just a storage unit the size of a biscuit with 1000TB and you can just go back at the end of the day and look for anything you want to remember for that day for a number of limited days, months or years. Spells the end of physical cameras for consumer. The accessories would be glasses that allows you to zoom to objects with as much res your eyes can see. Your eyeballs are the best sensor there is. Why the need to make so many lenses when the best one is already there for you to use?
Dawar Khan I'm using a V20 too. I love it, always going to be my music phone, regardless if I upgrade in the future. That dac makes the audio sound live, love it! I also got the Action Launcher, I turned off the window animations etc, and now the phone experience feels up to date. The only thing I hate about it is what AT&T installed on it and took away, it came with Google music and not the LG music app (which I liked).
Niranjan Pazhani Chamy With my experience with turning airplane mode on, and force stop/disabling apps, helped a lot. My V20 last all day with on screen time and music listening. The battery eating comes with the phone looking for a signal, that's one reason I keep my old phone for just calling. I turn off things that eat battery like Location, Bluetooth, NFC, and turn them on when I need them. Social media apps are always running even if you closed the app, that eats a decent amount of battery too. It's not really an battery issue, just too much demand for its size
no Because is android smarphones that overrated and this is why some people love apple 1 apple created smartphones 2 apple is popular 3 apple made good quality phones yes but the prices are not the best but some note 9 cost much
I am using the lg v20. Battery life is way better than its competitors and that quad dac really rocks. It can drive high end and even dj headphones. I plugged this into a custom car stereo and it sounded better than a standard headunit. LG is the sleeper smartphone
Totally agreed. I had major issues with the V10, but then reluctantly upgraded to the V20 through my carrier warranty. Best move I could have made. And I'll stick with it until either it dies or manufacturers and designers ditch the goddang notch. Who decided that abhorrent feature was a thing?
And I have major issues with my V20.. Lagging hard when plugged in, screen burn in all the time, battery dies quickly with 2.5hrs screen on time, fails to load apps, forces closes Bluetooth.. the list goes on. think I'm done with lg. Pixel next.
I really like this alot. I have Galaxy S9+ I mean it's great phone I love it but this LG is my favorite one because this phone cover the notch which I really like it! I just hate seeing the notch like iPhone showing this crap no choice.😑 My dad looking for new phone but he love Samsung but right now he has iPhone 7+. I might tell him to switch LG is it good?
LG makes innovative phones, yet the phones are always missing 1 or 2 attributes to be the good all-around phone to buy. I would still vote for the Note9 over the V40, unless your dad really into photography.
Well there were some drawbacks, sd845 on the note 9 was clocked higher, the battery was bigger, it had 960fps slowmo, the camera captures better colours, the images are smoother and have less noise
Always loved the customization of LG Devices. I'm a DJ and a radio station manager. Music is a must and the wire will always be the best. Please switch to the V40 next, looking to replace my V20 and may be looking at Samsung if this doesn't deliver.
I went from the LG V20 to the LG V40 and I LOVE the upgrade! I was worried at first because I liked the removable battery in the V20, but they've definitely optimized as I've never had a battery issue and it lasts considerably longer. (I listen to podcasts and music all day and night long) It's amazingly lighter weight I just sorta miss the power button being in the fingerprint sensor, but with the double-tap-to-wake, it just boils down to they made it a LOT thinner and lighter. But get a case as it's slippery as f***
I purchased the LG V35 on Project Fi. I love it. The best part of the phone (V3x-V4x) is the manual controls for both photo and video. As a content creator you can pretty much jump to the front of the line for quality using the included tools (if you learn to use them correctly of course). I'm happy with my V35 given how I actually use my phone to create content. The telephoto lens of the V40 didn't get me too excited since I would use another hand-held camera for telephoto situations anyway. Great review, glad to see LG is getting some good press about their V-series.
With the disappointment of the Pixel 3s, I'm seriously considering the v35 thinq on Fi as well. But Fi hasn't improved as much as I thought it would (doesn't auto switching LTE when it's available, often have to force switch). LG notch isn't that bad AND it has a headphone jack with nice audio internals. Kinda wish the v40 was Fi friendly.
I just got back from traveling in Spain and Morroco and I never had a problem connecting to LTE in either country. It works like a charm in Canada too. I haven't had any issues in the States (mostly AZ) so I can only say it works better than I anticipated.
This is how you make a pretty looking phone. Google please take some notes here for your pixel line. This one doesn't have the slimmest bezels and it still has a notch but they do it in an appealing way. They doubled down on the headphone jack as well. Making it a feature of the phone with the high audio quality was exactly how most android phones should have handled this. If this was what the Pixel 3 XL looked like I would preorder ASAP.
LG - Best smartphones (yes, better than Samsung, on par with the Pixel range). Worst marketing. And please use this phone for your daily usage. Although battery may be a letdown, but LG has the best feature set. Not to mention the MILSTD810G certification aside from IP68. Hope this phone survives LG's bad marketing skills.
LG is ass lmao. OnePlus phones are better than LG's for a few hundred less. And Samsung is light years ahead of LG in terms of smartphones, and LG's skin doesn't help.
Try out the V40 for a bit. Almost all the reviewers since the G4 have gone out of their way to bash LG phones. They usually say that the phone is great and has better this and that, then comes the stupid but... Go out on a limb and really use this phone and dig into its features for a bit. That review I watched just before yours didn't even know you could double tap to turn it on and never mentioned the awesome DAT and boom box sound.
It has a Quad Dac and as HTC 10 owner I really genuenly believe that if you care for audio quality, than its a must. Most people buy a separate device in order to enjoy Hi-Res audio but with phones like these you dont need to.
Zachkills4 they need to get another phone company and wireless feel so much better like Sony headphone and Bose are now making better wireless headphones 🎧!
I worked for 2 years in telesales, selling mobile devices and I gotta say, for years LG has been my main device simply because it is the only company around who tries to innovate with their devices still. Since the G4 they've been criminally underrated in terms of what their devices can do vs their competitors. I liken the LG, Samsung and Apple trio to the Xbox, ps and Nintendo trio. Yeah Nintendo doesn't have the most powerful devices but they're willing to step out of the burn to try and provide as unique an experience as possible compared to other devices in the market. If you guys haven't tried an LG phone yet get out there and pick one up.
@@viralshah8100 / it's former flagship V10 introduced second screen, which is essentially a small screen above main screen dedicated for notification/quick launch while sleep or awake. This was changed at V30 to more like software form though... Also V series is known for their advertised Hi-Fi dac&great durability. Too bad their advertise department is blind as hell...
Lg g3 overheated, wifi went bad due to bad solder. Lg v20 overheated, bad thermal paste, ghosting on lcd, very poor color calibration. Lg g4 bootlooped. Lg g5 weird coating, bad fitment with removable battery cover, no bang and olufesen dac in the us. Still no stereo speakers, and cameras are still second or third tier in quality. You get the idea. I want to love lg phones, and every time I buy one, it lets me down.
Lew.... This phone has boombox speaker. Make a video on it .. u would be amazed by the feature of boombox speaker. Search on about it. It use phone space as RESONANCE CHAMBER and sound increases when u put phone on a surface
Impressed with what you've shown so far! Needs a week or two as your primary phone! Defiantly a phone for the power user! I have many LG products around my home which are top "notch" (see what I did there) why shouldn't this be a good.... looking forward to a more indepth review! Great video as usual 💪👏👏👏👌
The battery is actually not a big deal. Bigger battery capacity does not always mean that it last longer. I currently use a V30 and switched from the Note lineup. I can say that it certainly lasts longer than ALOT of other top end phones. Even the 4000 mAh of the Razer phone is no match against the 3300 mAh of the V30. What i'm trying to say here is that LG is very good with optimization. Therefore, it runs less power hungry than other devices. This includes a lot of Samsung phones.
I don't know if you've actually used a V30, but in my experience, the V30 always edged out on battery performance everytime while having the smaller battery. I know this because I was stuck between switching to either a V30s or a s9+. Didn't know which one to get, so I bought both and did extensive testing. The phone that I resold was the S9+. Not to bag on it because it is a good phone, but it was just loaded with bloatware and the V30 just had so much more to offer and ran better for me than the S9+. The only Samsung phone that might have better battery life is the Note 9, but only because it has the bigger battery. I still say that LG has better battery optimization.
There are 2 power saving modes available in the “Device Maintenance” setting on Samsung phones. One adds 7 hrs (dims brightness and barely lowers resolution to where is isn’t noticeable) and one adds a staggering 50 hrs(the only things available are default apps; black background, biometrics off, search speed is lower, and other things.) This info is from my S8 that has the default setting of having a 26 hour battery life.
Nope, i'm definitely talking about all their newer ones as well. As far as I can tell, I can game the same games as my friends Razer phone and still see no difference in performance. The only thing i'm jealous of is the dual speakers & the better refresh rate.
@@GawrGaUwU he just says the truth, apple is not worth the price most of the time for a normal consumer and Unbox Therapy makes that clear and points out the problems which is good
I don't think they are overprice? I mean the dac supports up to DSD256 which is the highest bitrate support for any smartphone currently plus it sounds so clean and smooth ! (I own an Aune X1S). I have the V30+ and i'm not sure about the V40 but the V30 has 2 hi-fi microphone which records far better than most phone. The MSRP for V30(non plus) was 750$ with 64gb ROM but that was only with 3 lenses with different aperture(2 rear 1 front) while the V40 has 5 lenses with each having diff aperture as you can see from his video or any other reviewer. So i think V40 is a step up from the V30 with some extra benefits which means that i think it is worth extra money for it. Edit: unless if i'm missing the point and you were talking about the V40 is pricy instead of "overpriced" then i agree with ya ! Sorry.
I've heard rumors that the rear cameras are actually a wide angle, primarily and a depth camera. That's why the " 2x zoom" camera is so bad, and takes really long to take"triple shots" Were going to have to wait to see what Jerry Rig says....
I'm running a G6 and have no complaints. I use my close and wide angle lenses quiet a bit when taking photos. I'm not in a hurry to get a new phone, but I'll be paying attention to how the V40 does or what LG does next.
I would be so happy if 🍎offered a NOTCHLESS screen option in the setup tutorial - that would be a game changer for me because at this point I won’t buy an iPhone or any phone with a stupid NOTCH!! 😩
LovingAtlanta notch isn’t even bad, you basically forget about it and it’s not in the way. It’s sad seeing people using that as an excuse then wasting money on Samsung............and apple.
+ Overheated Salami - 😔I guess you’re right....I’m not willing to find out because just seeing a NOTCH (on other people’s iPhones) triggers me!!! I just think 🍎can do better. I refuse to believe 🍎can’t offer a notchleas screen view option. If LG can do it SURELY 🍎can!!! 🤨
Watching again, from back when everyone was like why 5 cameras? And laughed at it. Now every other phone has 5 cameras and no one is looking back to this phone.
I give it a thumbs up for the option to hide the notch immediately during setup + all the customizations available. The picture quality looks really good as well.
Agreeeeeeeeed. Mate 20 is going to be the 'Fall' winner in 2018....If you can get over the square lens set-up, I think the performance will outweigh any aesthetic issues.
BX Actions requires a computer to grant ADB permissions, but you can without root. You can remap it to whatever you want. I knocked my Bixby key to walkie-talkie style Google Assistant, I hold the button down and speak, and when they release it instantly here's what I said.
I've been with LG since the V10 back in 2015... and I've also had the V20. Please do an extended test with the V40 ThinQ so us LG-ers(?) can know whether its worth sticking around or jumping to something like the Pixel 3 XL or Note 9. Thanks!
Why has pretty much every other review channel trashed this phone? I'm glad his reaction wasn't the same "Samsung has this. Apple has that" nonsense. Lew at least got excited about the features that pretty much only LG offers. And he only scratched the surface Boombox speaker Three cameras basically covering any scenario you'll ever need them in Manual video (including audio) and camera controls The best 32-bit headphone quality on any smartphone (32-bit Hi-Fi quad-DAC). Period. High quality dual microphone recording setup capable of recording loud environments without distortion HDR 10 bit sensor for rich photos and videos RAW video and photo recording MIL-STD 810G compliance without adding weight Rich and detailed OLED panel Nearly full personalization options for almost everything Etc etc etc I can't even remember everything LG phones offer I've owned both the V20 and V30 and they are by far my favorite phones yet. The battery life has never been a problem for me due to software optimization and the UI worked fluently throughout my entire ownership. Most of the complaints people can be improved through updates. Samsung is great. Apple is great. But saying LG isn't great is just downright biased nonsense
LG user here. Bought my phone 2 yrs ago just to try. No turning back. The one about the batt is true, no need for higher mah because you can optimize batt life with settings.
@@stealthninja5978 on a few other phones I've had, I had battery issues even though they were supposed to be great. I was really abusing my V20 though. Draining it almost all the way before recharging, third party wall charger, day-in day-out videos and pictures and listening to music with the DAC on, storage always full and hardly ever restarting it. Towards the very end I did notice slight degradation, but that was most likely my fault. If your battery really has degraded, maybe you can buy a new one (also a rare feature for back then, even more so now). But then also look up the best way to charge and keep care of your battery. Use the LG charger, keep it charged as much as possible (that's as far as I know the best for today's lithium ion batteries), restart the phone once a week or so. Then you should be good
I've had the V30 for almost a year and love the camera. I'm interested to see if they fixed some minor issues. First, reception isn't great. I usually only get one bar. Second, issues receiving iPhone text messages. Third, I'm already seeing some burn in on the screen. What are your thoughts with these issues and the V40?
Lew you need to use that as your daily device. I left Apple for LG and never looked back. I think once you spend some quality time with it you'll really grow to love it.
I have this phone and I love it. I have only ever owned LG phones, going on 11 years I think. Compared to all of the phones owned by friends and family, I find LG to be the most versatile and user friendly.
You'd be lucky as hell though if you find 10 eq sliders in any of those apps, if you opt for that option. I swear though, I don't think you can find the level of configuration that LG has set up with their phones.
You forgot to mention it's IP68 waterproof. Double tap the screen to turn on/off, the voice recognition guided help if the display or touch screen is broken, manual camera modes, the clip history tray, the notch screen is assignable to info you can display while the phone is off and apps you can invoke (such as flashlight, calculator, calendar, etc), keep unlocked based upon a GPS location or Bluetooth device, multi camera photos (back and front), and pin to boot settings that locks the phone prior to boot.

Watching on my note 9 after leaving LG after having the G3,G4,G5,G6 and deciding not to go with the g7 lol . This phone looks great though. My only complaint about the note 9 is loosing the wide angle camera
lucky that you get the note 9 and change phones every year im rocking the lg g5 and the battery is shit still trying to find a extra battery that original
how is the wired audio quality on the Note 9 ? After years of LG phones I am seriously considering moving to Samsung (Note9) or Huawei (Mate 20 Pro), but the only thing that's still making me hesitate is audio quality. But I'm tired of LG's update cycles (or rather, the lack of updates at all) and the problems with their displays and the "decent but could do better" battery that just doesnt hold a day after a year and a half. I like loud music that sounds good and has a lot of bass, but I'm scared of ending up with a phone with a flat sound and not enough power to drive 80Ohm headphones. I don't know what the USC-C dongles are worth or what the samsung devices can deliver...
@@SpeedyCraft51 the audio is amazing on the note 9 especially when using the surround sound with Dolby armor turned on. I haven't used the headphone Jack much as I use bluetooth headphones but I did test it and it sounded great. My understanding is the headphone Jack is a bit better on LG but I doubt its significant. Edit : Also I wouldn't get the Huawei if you like the expandable memory on the LG or Samsung. Also I'm not a fan of the notch on the new lg and Huawei.
Lou, thank you. I'm getting my v40 in a few days. Tha audio, audio settings , camera, and settings galore got me off years of galaxy phones. The only bad I found is shutter speed is a bit slow. But it looks nice. Sounds great.

Now: Dude this phone have a headphone jack!
They be throwing salt at them
Apple: remove headphone jack,we call ourselve innovators.
LG: we make the jack even better!
Apple didn't actually removed the audio jack. They just repositioned it to the middle. So that there would be two speakers for better sound.
And the new earphones that comes from the box has a usb type c connector instead of a jack. Which you can connect to the charging port of an iPhone instead to the audio jack
So how about you do some research first before telling that "tHanKs to wHat AppLE DiD"
FM1 FM1 Oh look another Apple Hater. I don't even think you understand my comment.
So how about you search for " Usb Type C Earphones " you salty ass kid
@@jellyfish4218 I know that they just put the connector to the same input as the charger input. But thats bullshit. First I dont wanna pay 100$ more for some earplugs and second you cant charge and listen at the same time. But wait there is a splitter? You have to buy that thing too and you have to carry it around the whole time.
Also they dont had to remove it, they could have just placed the input somewhere different like on the topside or something. I mean other smartphones can do that too, why cant Apple do it then?
LG phones are very underrated, especially the "V" series.
Their not underrated. They are just bad not an apple Sheep btw
@Ima Burnt Chicken Nugget
this is not true
@@rubenzwr3782
Lmao I'm so triggered by your comment (I'm gonna be honest about that) because LG's V series are waaay better than most phones you'd find today. Rn I'm rocking a V20 and the options available are just out of this world, only downside is the outdated processor, but that's the same for all outdated phones. I hope you used an LG v phone before you messaged about how "bad" it is, because I doubt you'd say that once you've used one.

I gotta say you really did not spend much time on the most important aspect of this phone.... The hi-fi quad dac. There are only two phone brands in recent memory that have done that... HTC with boomsound and LG with the quad dac. It may seem useless to some at first, but if you spend 15 minutes with a galaxy s8/s9/note... etc you notice immediately that the headphone use with a phone like that sounds dull and bland.
The LG smartphones make a $15 pair of headphones sound like $300 headphones....
I'm sure you swap phones all the time, but I HIGHLY recommend you spend just a week using a quad dac LG phone for all your audio (especially for car Auxiliary use and watching youtube videos with headphones). You'll never be able to go back to Apple or Samsung.
I've been an HTC fanboy for the past 7 years because of the exceptional audio quality, but they lost me this year after dropping the headphone jack. Thankfully LG is still committed to quality audio and for that reason alone i decided to jump on the LG train and I'm loving it so far.
you totally got it right dear
Not every TH-camr is going to cover everything the V40 can do, thats why you should do your own research
@@wmcroy3306 True but when a phone has one unique feature no other phone has that tends to be the one that needs the most coverage.

I agree with a lot of the comments below...LG is highly underrated! They make reasonably priced AWESOME devices! I guess they don't need to advertise, much, their products sell themselves by word of mouth & proven capability to last! ❤ LG🔝
They have a major issue of not honing their product well , there are a bunch of noticeable glitches here and there .. In addition to the major cost cutting where this is an expensive product that shouldn't have seen any cost cutting
Although I'm a Samsung user, gotta give LG the credit they deserve. Highly underrated phone company
LG V10 had so many issues. Especially with the boot loop.
Tony Dinh I don’t think Samsung community is 10x worst
Because Samsung community is worst they hate apple and touchscreen was created by apple
My first LG was the V10 and it had the DAC headphone jack and I always used Bluetooth over ear headphones. Then the battery went low so I plugged in a wired pair and never went back. It seriously made a difference. A lot of customizing even for a phone from 4 years ago.
@Nasty Yan yeah it came out in October 2015 and I got it in Feb 2016 and still have it actually. But my batter doesn't last. I had to buy new batteries and I'll use 4 fully charged batteries in 1 day.
@Nasty Yan what's the bootloop issue
@Nasty Yan I looked it up. Mine had the same issue and I got a new phone under warranty thank goodness.
@Nasty Yan
It actually wasn't present on the G5 or V20. The bootloop issues were specifically on LG flagships from 2015 (G4, V10, and Nexus 5X).
My brother and I both have the V20 and it would shut off by itself, but that was due to faulty batteries (that were easily replaced).
V10 is shit.. DAC was only good thing about it. It broke like 4 times, then I gave up and bought OnePlus 6
Please test this device for a week or so. You didn't test the phones audio recording capabilities. When you take a normal phone to a concert, the audio clips terribly. This phone actually does a decent job at recording audio.

Nope. In a 100 years the camera is your eyeballs. You do not even need to have anything installed inside you. They would have a device that could tap to all your senses and download it in real time to anything that you can think of.
Hell for all i know, that device is probably just a storage unit the size of a biscuit with 1000TB and you can just go back at the end of the day and look for anything you want to remember for that day for a number of limited days, months or years.
Spells the end of physical cameras for consumer. The accessories would be glasses that allows you to zoom to objects with as much res your eyes can see. Your eyeballs are the best sensor there is. Why the need to make so many lenses when the best one is already there for you to use?
@@rohitmier 2009 : why has this phone a camera?

LG V20 User Here ✌️😎
But LG did a great job doing with the wide angle lens. Take beautiful wide angle shots that no phone can ever do 😎
Dawar Khan I'm using a V20 too. I love it, always going to be my music phone, regardless if I upgrade in the future. That dac makes the audio sound live, love it! I also got the Action Launcher, I turned off the window animations etc, and now the phone experience feels up to date. The only thing I hate about it is what AT&T installed on it and took away, it came with Google music and not the LG music app (which I liked).
Niranjan Pazhani Chamy With my experience with turning airplane mode on, and force stop/disabling apps, helped a lot. My V20 last all day with on screen time and music listening. The battery eating comes with the phone looking for a signal, that's one reason I keep my old phone for just calling. I turn off things that eat battery like Location, Bluetooth, NFC, and turn them on when I need them. Social media apps are always running even if you closed the app, that eats a decent amount of battery too. It's not really an battery issue, just too much demand for its size
G6 here. Wide angle is amazing
V20 user as well! Still better headphone audio than most flagships 😀

I am using the lg v20. Battery life is way better than its competitors and that quad dac really rocks. It can drive high end and even dj headphones. I plugged this into a custom car stereo and it sounded better than a standard headunit. LG is the sleeper smartphone

High end headphones are way better than "DJ" headphones :D And also very small percentage of the people can afford high end headphones
Totally agreed. I had major issues with the V10, but then reluctantly upgraded to the V20 through my carrier warranty. Best move I could have made. And I'll stick with it until either it dies or manufacturers and designers ditch the goddang notch.
Who decided that abhorrent feature was a thing?
And I have major issues with my V20.. Lagging hard when plugged in, screen burn in all the time, battery dies quickly with 2.5hrs screen on time, fails to load apps, forces closes Bluetooth.. the list goes on. think I'm done with lg. Pixel next.

Sd845
Oled 2k

Still costs less than note 9
Well there were some drawbacks, sd845 on the note 9 was clocked higher, the battery was bigger, it had 960fps slowmo, the camera captures better colours, the images are smoother and have less noise

Can I contact the Russians to create an army of bots just to like your comment?
I went from the LG V20 to the LG V40 and I LOVE the upgrade! I was worried at first because I liked the removable battery in the V20, but they've definitely optimized as I've never had a battery issue and it lasts considerably longer. (I listen to podcasts and music all day and night long) It's amazingly lighter weight I just sorta miss the power button being in the fingerprint sensor, but with the double-tap-to-wake, it just boils down to they made it a LOT thinner and lighter. But get a case as it's slippery as f***

@Byte Length ehhh. Pardon me but I don't see any problem with his grammar
I love the fact that android offers so many customizable features
I purchased the LG V35 on Project Fi. I love it. The best part of the phone (V3x-V4x) is the manual controls for both photo and video. As a content creator you can pretty much jump to the front of the line for quality using the included tools (if you learn to use them correctly of course). I'm happy with my V35 given how I actually use my phone to create content. The telephoto lens of the V40 didn't get me too excited since I would use another hand-held camera for telephoto situations anyway. Great review, glad to see LG is getting some good press about their V-series.
With the disappointment of the Pixel 3s, I'm seriously considering the v35 thinq on Fi as well. But Fi hasn't improved as much as I thought it would (doesn't auto switching LTE when it's available, often have to force switch). LG notch isn't that bad AND it has a headphone jack with nice audio internals. Kinda wish the v40 was Fi friendly.
I just got back from traveling in Spain and Morroco and I never had a problem connecting to LTE in either country. It works like a charm in Canada too. I haven't had any issues in the States (mostly AZ) so I can only say it works better than I anticipated.

How original.
This phone's design and overall hardware is gorgeous. I wish it had android one and better camera implementation.
Hardware is high quality! They can work on the software though.
This is how you make a pretty looking phone. Google please take some notes here for your pixel line. This one doesn't have the slimmest bezels and it still has a notch but they do it in an appealing way. They doubled down on the headphone jack as well. Making it a feature of the phone with the high audio quality was exactly how most android phones should have handled this. If this was what the Pixel 3 XL looked like I would preorder ASAP.
LG - Best smartphones (yes, better than Samsung, on par with the Pixel range). Worst marketing.
And please use this phone for your daily usage. Although battery may be a letdown, but LG has the best feature set. Not to mention the MILSTD810G certification aside from IP68. Hope this phone survives LG's bad marketing skills.
For battery life, the x power 3 does the job so well... 3 full days on a full charge plus it's got dtx too
The correct term is actually 'on par'
LG g series were crap. Horrible battery life and overheated all the time

Try out the V40 for a bit. Almost all the reviewers since the G4 have gone out of their way to bash LG phones. They usually say that the phone is great and has better this and that, then comes the stupid but... Go out on a limb and really use this phone and dig into its features for a bit. That review I watched just before yours didn't even know you could double tap to turn it on and never mentioned the awesome DAT and boom box sound.
people are excited about a headphome jack? What are smartphones nowdays?
[SD]ViRuZ Most people I know have iPhones and if they lose their headphones then they have to buy a dongle, I imagine their sick of it.
It has a Quad Dac and as HTC 10 owner I really genuenly believe that if you care for audio quality, than its a must. Most people buy a separate device in order to enjoy Hi-Res audio but with phones like these you dont need to.

I worked for 2 years in telesales, selling mobile devices and I gotta say, for years LG has been my main device simply because it is the only company around who tries to innovate with their devices still.
Since the G4 they've been criminally underrated in terms of what their devices can do vs their competitors. I liken the LG, Samsung and Apple trio to the Xbox, ps and Nintendo trio. Yeah Nintendo doesn't have the most powerful devices but they're willing to step out of the burn to try and provide as unique an experience as possible compared to other devices in the market.
If you guys haven't tried an LG phone yet get out there and pick one up.

The battery is actually not a big deal. Bigger battery capacity does not always mean that it last longer. I currently use a V30 and switched from the Note lineup. I can say that it certainly lasts longer than ALOT of other top end phones. Even the 4000 mAh of the Razer phone is no match against the 3300 mAh of the V30.
What i'm trying to say here is that LG is very good with optimization. Therefore, it runs less power hungry than other devices. This includes a lot of Samsung phones.
I really can't agree with you man. My S9+ Runs about 16 hours Most of the time. Samsung is Better.
@@1MIKEX i guess he's telling about older phones..btw..razor phone is a power hungry beast..you shouldn't compare gaming phones with these phones
I don't know if you've actually used a V30, but in my experience, the V30 always edged out on battery performance everytime while having the smaller battery.
I know this because I was stuck between switching to either a V30s or a s9+. Didn't know which one to get, so I bought both and did extensive testing. The phone that I resold was the S9+.
Not to bag on it because it is a good phone, but it was just loaded with bloatware and the V30 just had so much more to offer and ran better for me than the S9+.
The only Samsung phone that might have better battery life is the Note 9, but only because it has the bigger battery. I still say that LG has better battery optimization.
There are 2 power saving modes available in the “Device Maintenance” setting on Samsung phones. One adds 7 hrs (dims brightness and barely lowers resolution to where is isn’t noticeable) and one adds a staggering 50 hrs(the only things available are default apps; black background, biometrics off, search speed is lower, and other things.) This info is from my S8 that has the default setting of having a 26 hour battery life.
Nope, i'm definitely talking about all their newer ones as well. As far as I can tell, I can game the same games as my friends Razer phone and still see no difference in performance. The only thing i'm jealous of is the dual speakers & the better refresh rate.

aB r they overpriced?
@@usssfs6762 900$ for this device, released so late in this year, while S9+ sells at 750$... So.... Well.
I don't think they are overprice? I mean the dac supports up to DSD256 which is the highest bitrate support for any smartphone currently plus it sounds so clean and smooth ! (I own an Aune X1S). I have the V30+ and i'm not sure about the V40 but the V30 has 2 hi-fi microphone which records far better than most phone. The MSRP for V30(non plus) was 750$ with 64gb ROM but that was only with 3 lenses with different aperture(2 rear 1 front) while the V40 has 5 lenses with each having diff aperture as you can see from his video or any other reviewer. So i think V40 is a step up from the V30 with some extra benefits which means that i think it is worth extra money for it.
Edit: unless if i'm missing the point and you were talking about the V40 is pricy instead of "overpriced" then i agree with ya ! Sorry.

we are waiting for the mate20pro - hope you get to review it quickly :)
A2K when the mate 20 pro releasing? :)
Dirod oh thanks you mate! :D omg that next Tuesday !! :o thx
Agreeeeeeeeed. Mate 20 is going to be the 'Fall' winner in 2018....If you can get over the square lens set-up, I think the performance will outweigh any aesthetic issues.
@@dirod7290 agree! I love huawei mate series.
I wish I could change the Bixby button to Google assistant
You can with the BX Actions app
BX Actions requires a computer to grant ADB permissions, but you can without root. You can remap it to whatever you want. I knocked my Bixby key to walkie-talkie style Google Assistant, I hold the button down and speak, and when they release it instantly here's what I said.
Fuck you J.K Rai. U made me blow on my screen for no reason with that pp!!

I've been with LG since the V10 back in 2015... and I've also had the V20. Please do an extended test with the V40 ThinQ so us LG-ers(?) can know whether its worth sticking around or jumping to something like the Pixel 3 XL or Note 9. Thanks!
I love my v30, I hope the v40 is amazing as well.
I went from V20 to V40 so I can't comment on the V30 but 20 to 40 was a huge improvement especially in weight, slimness and power management.
Why has pretty much every other review channel trashed this phone? I'm glad his reaction wasn't the same "Samsung has this. Apple has that" nonsense. Lew at least got excited about the features that pretty much only LG offers. And he only scratched the surface
Boombox speaker
Three cameras basically covering any scenario you'll ever need them in
Manual video (including audio) and camera controls
The best 32-bit headphone quality on any smartphone (32-bit Hi-Fi quad-DAC). Period.
High quality dual microphone recording setup capable of recording loud environments without distortion
HDR 10 bit sensor for rich photos and videos
RAW video and photo recording
MIL-STD 810G compliance without adding weight
Rich and detailed OLED panel
Nearly full personalization options for almost everything
Etc etc etc
I can't even remember everything LG phones offer
I've owned both the V20 and V30 and they are by far my favorite phones yet. The battery life has never been a problem for me due to software optimization and the UI worked fluently throughout my entire ownership. Most of the complaints people can be improved through updates.
Samsung is great. Apple is great. But saying LG isn't great is just downright biased nonsense
Honestly i would like to have this phone. A wide angle front and rear cam is so useful
LilDev Meister cuz it's an LG
Why u have good battery life but not me know my v20
LG user here. Bought my phone 2 yrs ago just to try. No turning back. The one about the batt is true, no need for higher mah because you can optimize batt life with settings.
@@stealthninja5978 on a few other phones I've had, I had battery issues even though they were supposed to be great.
I was really abusing my V20 though. Draining it almost all the way before recharging, third party wall charger, day-in day-out videos and pictures and listening to music with the DAC on, storage always full and hardly ever restarting it. Towards the very end I did notice slight degradation, but that was most likely my fault.
If your battery really has degraded, maybe you can buy a new one (also a rare feature for back then, even more so now). But then also look up the best way to charge and keep care of your battery.
Use the LG charger, keep it charged as much as possible (that's as far as I know the best for today's lithium ion batteries), restart the phone once a week or so. Then you should be good
5 cameras? Wow
I too read the title.
Smasung A9 Star also has 5 Cameras...
Huawei p20 has fi...four cameras
@@AliYassinToma xDDD
I've had the V30 for almost a year and love the camera. I'm interested to see if they fixed some minor issues. First, reception isn't great. I usually only get one bar. Second, issues receiving iPhone text messages. Third, I'm already seeing some burn in on the screen. What are your thoughts with these issues and the V40?
I'm a proud owner of the LG V35, I will always stick with the V series simply because of the amazing Quad DAC.
"There is a beauty by default...
How dare you!!!!!
I thought I told you👊"
This looks solid, will be skipping the s10 for this v40 depending on the s10s launch price.
Toyo Masauce S10 will have a newer proccesor thought 🤷🏾♂️
Unless its at a comparable price point or the new processor significantly improves battery life, it probably won't make enough of a difference to me.
Lew you need to use that as your daily device. I left Apple for LG and never looked back. I think once you spend some quality time with it you'll really grow to love it.
It's the most beautiful smartphone of 2K18 😍😍
I'm in love with it.
That bottle of coke is more than a year old now...when are u gonna finish it
There’s only smartphone vids anymore...where’s all the other tech on the market?
I have this phone and I love it. I have only ever owned LG phones, going on 11 years I think. Compared to all of the phones owned by friends and family, I find LG to be the most versatile and user friendly.

Just get one from the play store
You'd be lucky as hell though if you find 10 eq sliders in any of those apps, if you opt for that option. I swear though, I don't think you can find the level of configuration that LG has set up with their phones.
You forgot to mention it's IP68 waterproof. Double tap the screen to turn on/off, the voice recognition guided help if the display or touch screen is broken, manual camera modes, the clip history tray, the notch screen is assignable to info you can display while the phone is off and apps you can invoke (such as flashlight, calculator, calendar, etc), keep unlocked based upon a GPS location or Bluetooth device, multi camera photos (back and front), and pin to boot settings that locks the phone prior to boot.

I just bought this phone from Verizon yesterday and it didnt come with headphones?
I think it's just the unlocked LG phones that comes with headphones and/or case
Yeah, Verizon cheaped out on the included headphones, knowing them they probably wanted an excuse to sell them to you.
5 months from now: "This smarthphone only has 5 cameras...why?"
I bought me the lg g6 like 2 years ago. Still runs pretty quickly and i love that wide angle camera.
Unbox therapy:Which smartphone do You even want right now
Me:Phone that is made by U
Me also:Simply cause u have expectations on other devices which will boost ur brand if u were to make one

Watching on my note 9 after leaving LG after having the G3,G4,G5,G6 and deciding not to go with the g7 lol . This phone looks great though. My only complaint about the note 9 is loosing the wide angle camera
Wait so you get a new phone every year?
lucky that you get the note 9 and change phones every year im rocking the lg g5 and the battery is shit still trying to find a extra battery that original
how is the wired audio quality on the Note 9 ? After years of LG phones I am seriously considering moving to Samsung (Note9) or Huawei (Mate 20 Pro), but the only thing that's still making me hesitate is audio quality. But I'm tired of LG's update cycles (or rather, the lack of updates at all) and the problems with their displays and the "decent but could do better" battery that just doesnt hold a day after a year and a half.
I like loud music that sounds good and has a lot of bass, but I'm scared of ending up with a phone with a flat sound and not enough power to drive 80Ohm headphones. I don't know what the USC-C dongles are worth or what the samsung devices can deliver...
@@SpeedyCraft51 the audio is amazing on the note 9 especially when using the surround sound with Dolby armor turned on. I haven't used the headphone Jack much as I use bluetooth headphones but I did test it and it sounded great. My understanding is the headphone Jack is a bit better on LG but I doubt its significant.
Edit : Also I wouldn't get the Huawei if you like the expandable memory on the LG or Samsung. Also I'm not a fan of the notch on the new lg and Huawei.
@@neopineda2618 Yeah they dont last, only so many charges until they start to lose efficiency.
Lou, thank you. I'm getting my v40 in a few days. Tha audio, audio settings , camera, and settings galore got me off years of galaxy phones. The only bad I found is shutter speed is a bit slow. But it looks nice. Sounds great.
