Watching on my iPhone SE

[@Gabilleta]

Reading some of the comments and realizing about 80% of them didn't pay attention to the video and the information portrayed. This was captured in LOG format, Jerry DIDN'T record his video in LOG format. You're supposed to edit the video afterwards, not use the file as is. The reason he did was to show what the phone CAN do.

FANTASTIC.. I'M Upgrading My G5 TO This BEAUTY , Can't Wait

LG hit a grandslam with the V30!

[@davidmorling1264]

Tobias F just saw a comment saying "waiting for people saying watching on my v30" lol

[@Pleshie]

Bason Journe157 I think he commented just because of that

[@mychannelhasonly1videojust61]

that's why I film with my eyes

[@cloutlord8863]

your name got me

[@moomin7461]

I've just bought the v20. You can get them at a really good price now. In a couple of years I hope to buy the v30!

ProjectElara 😂. Nice job pointing that out. He was really focused on that camera, even stopped and stepped aside 😆

[@forestyforest]

Video quality doesn't look that great? Maybe the final version will be better?

[@xsonice]

Watching it on my LG V40

[@JohnHarvey]

Could you upload some examples of the log footage for us to check out in premiere on our own? Watching on KZbin is good but it's not the same as seeing the source file straight from the phone. I'd also like to see what it looks like on premiere

[@quicksmash]

Watching on my v20

[@uptownsfinest1598]

😂😂😂 same here

[@MEXUS.]

nochet2211 same

[@afiqqifa3638]

Guys, im considering to buy v20, is it still worth it? any problem with the phone? bloatware, etc?

[@quicksmash]

Afiq Qifa i bought it in India for the same price as one plus 5. I chose v20 over the OP5 cos im sort of an audiophile. The only gripe i have about the phone is that the included B&O earphones are overrated. They are at best average. Apart from that everything's awesome for the money.

[@MrBasketballman28]

Afiq Qifa worst phone I bought. So many problems.

[@harysbrilliants4599]

I always think that purple hue color cast in every raw files contains more light to process. LG G4 happened to face same condition

[@TheSometimeAfter]

that dude at 5:08 was definitely going to pinch the phone XD

[@Ricky-ez2nh]

Well thank goodness I watched your video, nowhere has LG indicated that cine log is not available with the wide-angle lens. It is important to me that the wide-angle and standard footage be consistent. How can you keep clips consistent in a project when LG doesn't even let you use cine log recording for the wide-angle?!

[@MZain1]

my fav phone. hatsoff to lg

[@NeuElement]

OIS on the wide angle would be sick, looks a bit shaky. Hope the bump the front facing to an 8MP to make it at least average

[@diegosanchez894]

This is much better than note 8. Honestly, it might be one of the few flagships with decent value

[@sudipchatterjee]

Very good work !! That wide angle is just ❤❤❤❤❤❤ !!

[@arkosh7251]

That guy at 5:05 was low key boutta take that phone

Nice video, Joshua. Video looks good!

[@rico4you]

Finally Life is Good with LG and the V30. Take my $

[@Jhihmoac]

...The "V" stands for "Video"...The on-board post-processing is cool, thus eliminating the need for a mobile video editing studio app...

[@prestonok3694]

Great review! SUPER informative! Didn't hit too much on the audio though. But I guess that's bc the audio of this video was recorded with it, correct?

[@Ciki92]

I want Pixel 2XL in V30's body, sadly it's not gonna happen

[@FeelinHazey16]

Nirav Makadia no headphone jack

[@Felixor]

The only issue so far is the audio quality... Is it just me or the audio comes out muffled and not really crisp? :/

[@konradinho62]

Very useful review; thx a lot.

[@yashdivya5]

thx for making my video on my favourite phone

[@WhatTheFragrance]

There is a purple tint to everything. Even the processed footage

[@A1000Truths]

Is the video a little shaky? No optical image stabilization.

[@JosephTaibiJr]

Does the wide angle mode require holding the phone upright (Portrait) only since the lenses are side by side in this position or can the phone also be held horizontally?

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Do you think the V30 will be better than the Pixel 2 for content creators?? Dxo Mark gave the Pixel 2 the "highest smartphone camera rating ever" ...

[@luuketaylor]

I'm a Nexus/Pixel proponent, but the V30 is really making me think hard about whether I should leave stock Android...

[@69Solo]

Wish LG breaks sales record this year. I would have gone for it, but sad it doesn't has IR. :(

[@unbeatable009]

why is the front facing on v30 a 5mp shooter even my old g4 had a 8mp shooter on it which could take some great nicely detailed selfies

[@darkcaliber9632]

You should do HTC U11 vs LG V30!

[@kok_wei9759]

Lol,That guy in cap just thinking of stealing your phone

[@yasinazizabir7140]

nice video josh!

[@shahfaisalkhan]

Cool phone .... 👍 With great specs ... So I have fingure crossed 🤞let's see if pixel fail to impress then v30 is ultimate choice.

[@fernandoocaranza4510]

Watching in my V20 watting for the V30.

[@tahjo7]

"Filming" with the v30 or "recording" with the v30?

[@Dariddda]

On my screen everything is oversaturated... i'm talking about the processed and colorcorrected versions of the footage.

[@jermaine.a1675]

Nice! Would definitely love to see more Android Authority videos shot in 4k, or at the very least 2K.

[@rookie8851]

Jermaine .A video was shot on 1440p (watching on S7 Edge)

[@J_T_B_]

LG V30 is TOP

[@rph_redacted]

Some of em had a kinda purple ish tint on processed log videos

[@mattshifu]

Great video. I can't work out if there's digital noise on his purple blouse at the beginning or not?

[@YannickReid]

The V30 log has a weird purple wash in the highlights

[@Vism181]

I see that Mega Man X in the background! Awesome sauce!

[@imicca]

Is the SOUND of this video ALSO recorded on V30?

[@DivanFL]

Hi, can you tell me what gorilla pod that you use?

[@TheLitCool]

Wide angle is so much better than telephoto on a phone

[@srobart]

Oh boy, here we go. First, that isn't proper LOG (log stands for logarithmic, and what it does is help the camera see closer to the way the human eye sees by bringing down the highlights and bringing up the shadows so that it can be corrected in post by adding saturation and contrast to get the maximum latitude from the camera's sensor). I don't know exactly what the "log" footage is on the V30, but it doesn't look like any log I've seen (it's even worse than F-Log and I thought that was the bottom of the barrel). Second, I'm not sure that you know how to color correct log, *OR*, the log has such a low bitrate that when you did try to correct it, both skintones (which looked both green and magenta) and colors were splotchy (see 1:42), but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's the bitrate, because most of the AA videos, that I've seen, are beautifully done with proper skin tones and colors. I've never met you in person, but I know that your skin isn't splotchy green and magenta (because nobody's is). And in all fairness, the GH5 does the same thing to skintones with its 150mbps log and it's a symptom of too low of a bitrate. I also suspect that much, if not all, of the noise dancing around on your purple shirt was also due to the low bitrate and low light (high ISO), in conjunction with "log". Very, very few people need log, or should shoot in log and even fewer still will see any benefit from it, while most will end up getting truly horrendous results (again, see 1:42). Using it for shots inside your house, or office, when there's not a lot of dynamic range, or when the camera can't gather enough light due to that teeny tiny little sensor, isn't only a bad thing, it's the *worst thing* and that's why you get shots that look like 1:42. Log REQUIRES higher bitrates (we learned this from the GH5...again, after learning it from the A7SII, A7S, GH4 and others), because when you get to post, you're pushing the image a great deal more than when you are just filming with a standard linear format picture profile. 99.99999% of people in 99.99999% of situations will be FAR better off to just use a regular picture style/profile that gives proper skin tones and colors "out of the box". Log isn't a trick, it's not a gimmick, and it's going to make a lot of people create much uglier videos than they otherwise would have, because it's on a phone, which is already challenged by a tiny sensor, terrible lens, horrible software (for video), a ridiculously small aperture (no, it's not REALLY f/1.6 or f/1.9) and a stupidly low bitrate. Couple that with the fact that very few people know how to properly expose, color correct and grade log footage and you've got a potential disaster on your hands. I honestly don't know what LG was thinking. I really hope that there aren't people who go out and buy this phone expecting to get decent results using log. I suspect that, come launch day, we're going to see a torrent of truly terrible-looking videos from the V30 and I don't see how that is good for LG's reputation. I'm an android guy through and through, but this is one area where Apple gets it right, they don't overburden people with tons of picture profiles, they give you a couple and the videos they produce are often visually stunning without the need to post-process. 52mbps. Fifty-two megabits per second. You need, AT A MINIMUM, 200mbps to have log that is able to be properly corrected (that's not even taking the grade into account), if you're using h.264. The GH5's 150mbps isn't enough (I've seen evidence that even 400mbps isn't really enough). 52mbps is abysmal if you have to push that image around in post (and you do, since it's log). I hope, for all of our eyes' sake, that this is both the first AND last time we see "log" on a smartphone. Honestly, some of that unprocessed "log" footage looked like a clown vomited on my screen and I'd be happy if I never saw that again. Sorry to be such a debbie downer, but somebody's got to say these things. Also, I'm sorry for the novel-length post. TL;DR: Avoid log like the plague on this smartphone.

[@Mordiax]

Why is the log footage so dang blurry? I get that it turns down the artificial sharpening by the software, but it just looks terrible!

[@samiagius422]

There's something off about the footage, JerryRigEverything looked a lot better compared to this.

[@kindhumblejesse]

Stars Steven and Lars yeah this footage looks terrible compared to Jerry rigs video. I'm not sure if Android authority even watched the lg v30 footage he put on this video. Colors look washed out, sharpness is worst I have ever seen, and zero stabilization.

[@vintagelegend9666]

Stabilization I'll give, but y'all didn't read his comment before lol. He recorded this in LOG format, meaning ur supposed to edit it later, where u can edit saturation, sharpness and stuff like that. That's one of the features of the V30, aimed mainly towards people that use video a lot and like to edit.

[@QuicknStraight]

@@vintagelegend9666 Even post=processing, it's soft and blurry.

[@Ricky-ez2nh]

Wait did he just say you can't capture cine log footage on the wide-angle lens? That doesn't make sense

[@kaydawgy1999]

Have you had sync issues when filming in 4k and hifi audio enabled? Whenever I playback my footage on my phone the audio is about 1 second off from the footage.

[@InvisiMan2006]

But the quality looks so bad! I'm watching in 4k and had to check several times to make sure it wasn't in 720p... it looks fuzzy. You can immediately see this difference when the scene shot using a different camera came in (when he's holding the vlogging mount). I get that the colors are off because of LOG (and it still didn't look good after processing it), but the camera hardware is where I'm seeing the failings,not the great software.

[@thisisaname4661]

He holds the phone out the car window and I'm like "OMG DON'T DROP IT!"

[@rafitirmidzi1985]

in short, can lg v30 make a great video for a video creator?

[@conraddevera]

I see sooo many v30 ads (that it just dropped or something) but still no date or price. Really like the phone but i need to get one really really soon and LG is too slow to bring the phone out

[@rheylew]

can it record in 60fps in either 1080 or 4K?

[@Hairyderriere]

Not surprising, really, since unlike *any other camera phone on the market* - anywhere - it is a 10 bit sensor and not an 8 bit one. The heat generated by this is likely more than the industrial design can bear at this time at high frame rates and 4K definition. Perhaps the V40 or, more likely, the V50 will be able to cope. I'd take a 10 bit sensor ove super high frame rates every day of the week, as normal speed filming is 99% of my practice.

[@JulioJimenez-bq3xi]

My friend i pre-order the LG v30 already one question if you dont mind can i get nice videos with the auto mode since i dont have a clue about video editing? By the way this will be my second trip to China and i want to shine this camera there😀

Whats with the purple ????

[@buzzplayer2944]

are you trying to say that lg camera is better than sony's??

[@nedtextex6688]

How can you screen record video on lgv30 without downloading extra app

[@Ivan-mn3ph]

Dont think its possible

[@Tchoppr]

The log footage is interesting but compared to most cameras that shoot log, this is actually REALLY saturated lol.

[@stewartphillips]

eh..honestly the colors and focus left a little to be desired. Everything had a weird purple tint which I know could be color balanced in post but that shouldn't be necessary here.

[@Tomanna]

If you watched the video you'll understand that he recorded in LOG, it's meant to be very flat and lack saturation, sharpness and contrast

[@SDav21]

Stewart Phillips You must make sure you look on the bottom where is said unprocessed log. You can still record in normal video mode which will give the normal colours.

[@stewartphillips]

an uncompressed log file shouldn't be rendering with weird purple hues, it should be well...flat and mostly colorless. but if you go back and take a look at the raw log files you could see some weird coloring.

[@kylebelle246]

Stewart Phillips thats what I thought too. isn't log supposed to not give us any weird colors?? honestly a lot of reviewers haven't been honest about this phone , i think because they are afraid to upset lg fanboys.

[@stewartphillips]

kyle belle yep you've pretty much got it right. Its the honey moon phase they get when they revive a new shiny toy to play with. Not dissing the reviews either, even I'd give it a biased review. It's just easy for us the viewers to spot things like that
