LG's V series phones have previously been select-market-only premium models, but with the V30 it seems this might be about to change. Read on to find out why LG might just have launched their best phone ever...
"Why's that you say that?" I hear you ask... well, The LG G6 was a great phone, but unfortunately LG chose to nobble it by having different variants which meant not all the phone's features were available in all markets. Europe has traditionally always been badly hit by this policy, with the G6 lacking it's two USPs in the european edition.
However, it now seems (if LG's UK website is to be believed, see below) that LG might have finally learnt from those errors and produced a phone which doesn't suffer in the European market.
The V30 is essentially a grown up, slightly enlarged (but within it's case size, amazingly small) G6, but with a few notable changes.
These standout features of the V30 are:
- 6.0 inch OLED display
- Snapragon 835
- 4GB RAM
- 64 / 128 GB ROM
- Quad-DAC
- Wireless Charging
...yes, you read that right; Quad-DAC and Wireless charging in an UK spec model!
