LG V30 Vs Note 8: Why I Chose the V30

LG V30 is a very underrated phone

[@osanshouo1684]

Not really, the camera is cheap, my Note 3 takes way better pictures than the LG. And it is not post processing, its the glass of the lens of inferior quality. I take a lot of photos from macros to landscape and the Samsung phone from 2013 takes better pictures, sharp crisp rich colors.

[@Docfly62]

It indeed does have an FM tuner as does my V20. So did my Note 3 and a few other phones in the past. KZbin reviewers, even the best of them, rarely mention it as part of their review. Go figure. It might be a generational thing. Just a guess

I am using LG V30 past 2 years and never faced issues so far 😊

[@Mr.Mister1974]

The downside of the V30 is elimination of secondary display, removable battery and big one removal of IR Blaster.

[@jeanlaikan8400]

The downside of the removable battery is absence of water resistance. My V20 was totally damaged by water recently. A portable battery pack is a good alternative to the removable battery.

[@Mr.Mister1974]

Jean Lai Kan . True but I have heard water resistant wears off and seen S7 damaged by water.

[@vernonwarren7332]

LG V20 And Axon 7 Dude agreed. I have no idea why they took away the IR blaster. I understand about the non removable batter because of wireless charging but it should have come with fast wireless charging

Great common sense real world experience review. Being a V30 fan is an uphill battle sometimes. Reviews sometimes report display problems in low light low brightness settings. I watched this video in a dark room at 24% brightness. It looks so good. No inconsistency of any kind. Connectivity on TMobile is superb and the quad dac has no equal. I produce records and have Bowers & Wilkens wired headphones. It is my favorite way to listen to music! Overall I enjoy my V30 over my iPhone X. The screen is a bit bigger and I think it's a perfect size. So many great features and it all works so smoothly. My 19th smartphone since 2000 and so far my favorite.

I'm an iPhone user at the moment and im seriously considering switching over to Android. I don't really care for any other phone out there except this and Pixel 2. Apple has really turned me off with their iCloud and limited memory! Im glad to see LG and Google taking a different approach for software and hardware. I think i'll order it from B&H and have it shipped to Europe. We have no clue as to when it will arrive here, (Maybe January 2018)!!

[@EntertainmentHub69]

The location of the volume rocker, a non removable battery, the second screen removed and the freaking ir blaster gone is a deal breaker. Loved that in the v10 and v20.

[@FuriousLegacyGaming1]

LG V30 wins. Quad dac, Shock resistance, better battery, capacity up to 2000 gb, better fingerprint scanner placement, wide angle mode, much lighter weight, cheaper price, M3 T3 enhancments, more camera features, a smaller size. These are just to name a few, and all for a cheaper price 🔥

[@davea9142]

Great review. Looks a great phone. For a 6” screen it doesn’t look that tall, really nice design. Wide Angle Cam, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, SD Card, FM Radio, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... ticks so many boxes. Nice one.

[@stevencorbo1220]

I wish you didn't use the words brave enough for companies who decided not to put a headphone jack to me it was just being cheap it's an excuse to try and push the General Public to getting wireless headphones and not including headphones with the expensive phones they're selling. As customers we should be outraged by the disgusting prices they're charging when you can get a phone like an axon 7 which is using premium parts at half the price. They're building them in Korea so it shouldn't be $1,000

Almost. Probably when V40 is out for market. i am gonna get a V30. ( When V20 is out i bought V10, When V30 is out. İ bought V20. almost half the price of the first day. :D And still even V10 is better than iphone 8 or even İphoneX. There no other phone with this sound output. i mean my headphone are moving on the table. Even if it is only volume level, it is a absolute death for other phones. :D) Why almost? 3.5mm jack must be on the bottom. And that is why? Answer ; You are gonna put your phone on your pocket, cable must be upwards. Grab your phone and pull out from your pocket. What are you seeing? Your phone is upside down. : D And must have stereo speakers too. It does not have to be front-facing speakers. In fact, if you have four speakers, even if your phone is in portrait or landscape mode, you'll hear continuous stereo sound. Or even. light shows? Back of the phone is glass, so you can put leds here. Like philips ambilight? i always using it on movies. I do not think you used it so often on the phone. But we pay so much. Would have been good. :D

[@MiAeron]

By the way. i used Galaxy S8 ( Note 8 is same too. ). And hate it. So back to the V10. My god. Amoled screen colors are just so wrong. i am shooting product photos. V10 was like my portable calibrated screen. But S8. God. it is just so worng. What you seen in the screen and that you seen on the print. They are totally different. Color, white balance and even exposure.

Totally agree with your thoughts on weight..... Everyone goes on and on about a heavier phone feeling more "premium" but in real world situations i want a phone to be light and strong which is what the V30 is. I have found that heavy phones also tax your hand when holding it for long periods or in times of reading or watching it without a kickstand. Quality review.

Seems like you really like the LG V30 which is cool..But never mentioned the biggest thing about the Note. #Spen

[@helloworld6228]

[@Somecooltech1]

Good point Shaft. I do love the Spen. It is awesome. I just barley using it. I always forget about it. If the Spen is important and the large size is not a problem to someone they should definitely go with the note 8.

[@johnavi]

I'd use the DAC and camera way more than a SPen. Plus you can lose an SPen.

[@damien2729]

Not sure how you can lose the pen, seeing as how note 8 tracks it, and an notification goes off when you're too far away from it.

[@johnavi]

Damien Beckham lol. So you're trying to tell me that people don't lose SPens? Guess no one sells replacements on Amazon...

[@philtaylor6320]

I love music and that's the reason I purchased the V30 plus. An audiophiles dream come true. No it doesn't have the best front facing camera, but the rears are awesome. Selfies are for cam models anyway lol.

[@damien2729]

The reason I didn't get the v30 in the end, was it was too lightweight for me. I loved the DAC, and the back video camera. I loved the wide lens, and the battery life. But, the phone felt too cheap to me, also the power button/fingerprint scanner felt too wiggly, and it gave it a more cheap feel, it just bothered me too much to ignore. I also didn't like the fact the v30 doesn't come with headphones unless you buy it from sprint in the US. It also can't wirelessly quick charge. It can wireless charge slow, and quick charge with a wire, but not both at the same time. The front video camera being trash was the deal breaker, seeing as how I planned on using it for recording purposes. The Cons and the fact the Note 8 has a better display, I chose the Note. It was a tough decision for sure, and I think it just depends on the person between these two and the Razer phone, they're all so good tbh.

[@jackn2683]

It was recently announced that the V30 will soon have very fast wireless charging capabilities. The technology is in the phone but chargers not yet on the market. www.slashgear.com/lg-v30-boasts-faster-wireless-charging-thanks-to-idt-qi-epp-07507109/

[@damien2729]

Jack N sweet. Too little too late though :P

[@damien2729]

yeah it sucks lol, I was extremely bummed about it. I've read it's temporary and the v30+ they're calling it with headphones will be at other carriers in the US as well later on. But, I needed a new phone this week, cause I messed up my old one, and I was due for an upgrade. So it sort of eliminated it as a choice for me :(**

[@wunnell]

@Jack N, that's interesting. Samsung phones have supported faster wireless charging for a while but I think that must be proprietary. I'll be interested to see how much these chargers are when they are released. They will likely be a bit expensive until support reaches more handsets.

[@damien2729]

Hell's favorite angel Mike , it's pettiness but I have to live with the device, carry it around, be seen with it. If it bothers me I can't bring myself to drop almost a grand on it. Sorry you feel differently or think it's a stupid reason lol

[@JobyStaneslavose]

I like the V30, in fact, I went to purchase a v30+ 128GB yesterday just for the DAC. Got a really good deal for $300. Felt really good in my hands compared to my 7 plus. I have a 7+ 128GB and wanted a second phone. Tests were done with my ATH M50X. Sorry but if you have an iPhone with(or without) the 3.5mm jack from 6s and up(I don’t know about the earlier ones) there is absolutely no need to upgrade if you’re just looking for better audio quality. iPhones have, IMO, better DAC and have amps built internally and sounds much better. Do a comparison and you’ll be able to see for yourself. Maybe the output is 20% less than the iPhone. Forget the iPhone, based on tests Samsung S8+ has better output than the V30. I just don’t know why they hype the LG up so much. I didn’t feel that this was a better phone(in terms of audio quality). The person selling it was quite surprised as well after the comparison. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good phone. Maybe with an amp you can bring the LG to life. If you are an android user wanting a phone that’s fast, has a beautiful display, better ergonomics and something new, go ahead. You won’t be disappointed.

I am sad to see the V30 loose the ability to replace the battery yourself. But after some research in the UK it costs around £45 to replace it which is very reasonable.

But overall the V30 is the better option especially for content creators, bloggers and you tubers.

[@TheMusketITuckedIt204]

He purposely didn't mention it because he knows it's one of the main, useful features that the V30 doesn't have and never will have. The V series was known for its secondary ticker screen and since they removed it's nothing more than a glorified G6.

[@ferenc-x7p]

Sold my Note 8 after gotten tired of a horrible call quality. Got a V30 for $300, and it's ignored by so many and it's a fantastic phone, especially if you find it cheap. The camera is unbeatable. I don't care about the pixel or iphone cams, in real-world usage, the V30's camera is the best. It will literally feel like using a digital camera, unlike all the other phones. Also the haptic feedback on the V30 outmatches all the competition, except the iPhones. There are a lot of "this makes sense" things on this phone, missing from so many other devices. And the OLED screen is great, I always thought the Samsung devices over saturate the colors regardless that people think they are "better". It really comes down to personal reference. The V30's screen easily outmatches all LCDs, that includes the newest iPhone XR. Also the V30s form format is so much better than a skinny and tall device, I prefer for the phone to have a width for many reasons, skinny/tall telephones with their 18:9 is just crap, especially if you want to use the phone in landscape mode a lot (GPS, movie watching etc). As I said, I used the Note device for many months now and the V30 just feels better and functions better. It's really a daily workhorse to handle all the tasks and notifications. Nothing feels like a gimmick on it.

How did they fail you? please explain. Also apple and Samsung just copy what lg does anyways, when lg first put the fingerprint scanner on the back ever one said how stupid it was. When lg made attachments everyone said it was a gimmick, now Motorola is doing it. Lg was the first one to have full manual controls and wide angle lens, now others are trying to have manual controls. LG is very creative and innovated where other companies are not, yest they have hiccups none and then but what company doesn't.

[@TheBoxingNinja]

I've never regretted buying LG phones after leaving my iPhone 4s in the drawer, I switched Motorola and after leaving my LG devices​ on the shelf, they barely start up if at all, sometimes it's boot loop. I've learned again that phones/computers are very much like cars, you can't work them to hard and you also can't just let them sit.

[@muhammadshahryarmemon4494]

love mu lg v10 no problem what so ever using for more than 6 months

[@ItalianoDio-]

Tom Petty Right...especially when they are the ones trying everything first.. ;) Haha.. Love my G5. Waiting for G7. Samsung will eventually have their own operating system, maybe...they are rumored to be almost ready to ditch Android. Hence, why they have a copy of every app that Google has. They even have their own assistant, Bixby.

[@BURNZ2ACRISP]

I've had my V30 about year now and very disappointed with it. Its not awful, I've had worse. It lags at times and screen isn't responsive at time. Random restarts as well and there's times where calls cannot be made period. If you're on wifi or great LTE signal it would still say no signal and would need restarted. Have been very disappointed and LG doesn't software update their products either. Better enjoy what it comes with. Definitely #10 in a top 10 list of top contenders.

Note 8 hands down the better phone.

[@redleader7988]

V30 is hands down the better phone.

[@anthonyj810]

Specs wise no the only advantage the Note 8 has is the bigger screen. Specs are all identical, design and UI is 100% subjective and cannot be better on one than the other. Some people don't want the huge tablet display on the Note 8 as it will be impossible to use one handed unless you have huge hands. And it's much heavier than the V30 as he mentioned in the video.

[@redleader7988]

I measured to area of both screens and the V30 and Note 8 are nearly identical total screen area, with the note 8 being less than 5% larger than the V30. Samsung cheats by elongating the phone and then measuring the screen diagonally. By that token you could claim a 1 foot diagonal screen with the same area by making it very skinny. Samsung likes playing with aspect ratios for marketing purposes. I'll take the V30.

[@cassianandor4103]

V30 has a better battery which lasts longer, has a better camera, has better sound, a better interface and better features, etc. The only positives that the note 8 has is the Spen, and a bigger screen, that's about it.

[@OmniOmegaKiller]

is lg faster when playing video games?

[@deyampert3738]

Definately going with the V30! Gonna order one this thursday! The Note is laggy, freezes up and needs to be powercycled once a day! I work with a couple of people who own it as well as Flossy Carter said in his review, he just cycles it just to prevent lag n freeze! Hell my V20 performs better than the Note 8, Lol!

[@wanahmadaiman8492]

lg v30 is awsome but i will buy note 8 HAHAHA.

[@Somecooltech1]

I hear you. They are both great phones.

[@cooliipie]

I got v30

[@gotworc]

AHSHAHGSGASBAHAHAHAHAAHAH SO FUCKING FUNNY

[@jorge8276]

Lalala lalala you got it buddy ! That's What I think and I actually did.

[@latinace1981]

Sucks for u. I returned my note 8 for lg v30

[@EddiePReacts]

I have S8 Plus and V30. IMO S8 wins in terms of build, screen, and loading apps faster. V30 wins in terms of the fingerprint sensor, camera, and DAC headphone jack.

[@jiannl2787]

What about boot loop?

[@webby189402194134]

Jian NL only with the older generation lg phones. Like the g4, g5 and V10/v20 but it's no longer an issue with the g6 and the v30

[@MikesLifee]

Shhh bro it's a feature 😂

[@wking8]

I had the V10 v20 and now the v30 and have never had a boot loop

[@wunnell]

What about it? Are you suggesting that it happened to his phone but he neglected to mention it? It's early days but, as far as I'm aware, noone has reported such a problem with the V30 or even the G6 for that matter. No more than any other phone anyway.

[@Oriolus1]

Hi what is boot loop?

[@mploof]

Thank you for the V30 review, I like the form factor and have always liked the LG phones since my first G2. Can you tell me the Clock widget you are using?

[@sylviofleurant2053]

Lgv30 is a great smartphone, but I'll take note 8 first. Samsung is the real king.

[@MrBarclonista]

lag king

[@chrisfoosintsun]

King of rubbish

[@ahmednazeeh45]

BTICronox lg is king bootloops and those who say samsung lags are real jokers. Because they don't have it and note 8 doesn't lag at all. V30 is th king of horrible front camera

[@ahmednazeeh45]

BTICronox if you don't care doesn't mean its not an important feature. Lol. If the lg doesn't have a display, your type of people will say "who cares about a display" If front camera is not useful, then whats the use of back camera? To record po*n? The front camera is more important for a social person than back camera. Its used to take group selfies, profile pictures for Facebook, viber, twitter.etc. Almost 90% of Facebook users who have their own photos are selfies.

[@victorchiappetta330]

King of annoying. Can't wait to get rid of my S7. Xmas is coming

[@kevinwhiting8391]

I switched from S8+ to V40... Happy asf

[@mikejones3863]

I had a choice between the lg v30 and the note 8 or even the galaxy s8 and it was an easy choice to pick the lg v30 it just feels so right.

[@officialgamer2168]

note 8 is better

[@elrockerchido]

Samsheep

[@cassianandor4103]

Not really. The only thing the Note 8 does that the v30 doesn't is that the note 8 has a slightly bigger screen and the Spen. Literally everything else specs wise on the V30 is better.

[@jiggidyjoelj]

Note 8 is more expensive, that means is better right?

[@timothy8045]

Joel Sager bixby button is trash so v30

[@Qingep]

OFFICIAL GAMER true

[@wanderer990]

I bought a v30+ likenew in 2020 with $120 and there is nothing to regret. Totally love it. It's the king at that price. DAC increase quality music so much. LG is the most smartphone brand overrated.

[@holajosue500]

Lg V30 are better only for LG fanboys.

[@subkarpaty]

not only!!!!!!!!!!

[@firerider669]

for sammy fanboid

[@gotworc]

I just like tech so

[@wunnell]

I have to disagree. I've never had an LG phone or any Android phone at all for that matter. I want wireless charging so my options are relatively limited, but the Samsung Galaxy S8(+) and Note 8 as well as the LG V30 were among the primary contenders. After evaluating each, I decided that the LG V30 is the best phone for my needs. It was a close-run thing because they are all excellent phones but each has it's strengths and weaknesses. In the case of the Note 8, I think the most important factor is whether you will get enough benefit from the S Pen to justify the additional expense, which I concluded that I would not. The V30 beats out the Galaxy S8(+) because of the dual cameras, quad DAC and the fact that I don't really like the excessively-curved edges. The V30 isn't perfect but it's combination of strengths and weaknesses suits me better than any other phone. So, suitability for non-fanboys confirmed.

[@jackskellington6sic6]

Big BLOCK life No. The note 8 is factually better overall objectively

[@drscooter86]

I absolutely hate my LG V20, useless device.

[@Pler1978]

drscooter86 LG should stick to mid level zero innovation

[@PierreWilliams35]

drscooter86 What does that have to do with the V30? V30 is leaps and bounds better than the V20 imo.

[@hussainkz7755]

drscooter86 i love my v20 but y u hate it

[@子帆-w6j]

Me too .V20 JUST unbelievable terrible. The experience Bring me back to the 1999.

[@johnavi]

Gimme a break. You make it sound like a 30 dollar trap/burner phone. V20 was badass. Surely operator error.

[@emmytones8311]

I have the note 8 n I absolutely love it. If I didn't get 425 off, get a free wireless charging convertible and free 256gb sd card, it would have been a tough decision between the v30 n note 8. I'm such a camera and audio enthusiast that I think i will get the v30 later next year after the v40 comes out or if I can get one used or new for 350-450... Good video!

[@carver9312]

Lol... who would choose a V30 over a Note 8??? That's hilarious.

[@johnavi]

carver 9 nah man. The V30 is badass. Go play with one and listen to music on it. Take a pic with that cam. Both are amazing.

[@carver9312]

John Avi ... The V30 is having display issues though. It's a great phone but when people think about a phone to beat, it's usually the note 8, not the V30. Also, that front facing camera is terrible.

[@johnavi]

carver 9 true. But I've also read quite a bit about Note 8 screens having problems. From lines of dead pixels and burn in to unexplainable screen fractures. I love the Note 8. But that LG phone is overlooked in the Samsung vs Apple wars.

[@riversdirect]

Someone who has used both.

[@carver9312]

Pratik Gajjar ... I know it isn't defined by the front facing camera. What I'm telling you is, the Note 8 is a better phone overall. If they did "the phone of 2017", do you even think the LG V30 would be in the top 3?

[@johnavi]

I want that DAC. Probably getting a V30 to tag team my Note8 out. Loved that camera on my G5.

[@DarkPa1adin]

I agree with you on the form factor. only downside is LG's OS and perhaps got touch latency issue... especially with screen protector

[@danc1197]

Most of these features on the LG were available with the LG K7 years ago. Including quick slide and auto rotate. And K7 is only a $50 phone.

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

I was tossing up to get a 2 year old flagship phone that was $1200 2 years ago but only $400 now and a midrange new phone like the Samsung A50 for $500. So I bought the LG and it was faulty the minute I got it. Wouldn't read fingerprints, kept crashing, etc etc. Many resets and it just kept showing me errors. So I returned it and got a full refund. Am I unlucky or are they crap. Should I get another LG or go for the A50?

[@TheMojahid1234]

Samsung Should've Went With The Form Factor Of The V30 Because Of The S-Pen. The Bixby Button Shouldn't Be Only For Bixby But For Whatever The Consumer Wants It To Be. The Battery Should've Been Larger! Like Around 4,000+. A Non Edge Variant Would've Been Amazing Especially The Note Series Because Of The S-Pen, Dual Front Firing Stereo Speakers Would Absolutely Make The Note Sell More Then The S8 & S8 Plus. Quad Dac Audio, 120Hz, A 4K Display, An Ir Blaster, Dual 20+ Megapixel Camera With A Dual LED Flash, Fingerprint Scanner Like The Google Pixel, Hybrid SIM Support, Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0, 3D Touch Like The IPhone, And Only 2 Storage Options 128GB-256GB & A Beast 8GB Of Ram... Hopefully The Note 9 Or "10" (Anniversary)

[@tredfxman]

* * * - Its pretty ridiculous that phones like this & iPhoneX/Pixel 2 etcetera is the same price as a Full Spec Gaming PC nowadays ..... Call me old, but prices are getting insane for a freaking phone.... I bought the Oneplus 3 for my beloved mother for under 450 USD - THAT was a good deal !!! - * * *

[@kingwindie]

The only thing I don't like about the LG v30 is the silver color, they should add more color options like dark blue

[@KingDavid7]

Nicely done, Guv'na!

[@Afronaut64]

I think having 4 more pixels and an all glass sensor really helps the V30 with noise reduction in low light Both are great but V30 has less noise and is sharper

[@Retiredmco]

I'd prefer v30! About to get 1 unlocked off eBay mint condition$220

[@fermild3954]

The only thing i hate v30 is jack port located on the top!

[@donalcapone87]

V30 looks great but lg is known for so many issued and bootlool issues that's why I chose the note 8 better banf for your bucks and more features and s pen is in a class of it's own

[@IceGizz]

There should be 32bit DAC, not 24bit. It is 32bit on V20 for playback and 24bit sound recording option. Should be the same on V30 and V20 can record video with hifi/24bit audio.

[@vamanpatel2733]

Ergonomics is not responsiveness fyi, its hand placement, positioning and comfort of the hold. Like ergonomics for your desk set up at work, should promote good spinal position and not forward head/rounded shoulders

[@jackysjustme]

V30 is a good phone, but it's very easy for it to have black dead line ( vertical ) , me and my friend got the same problem, and lucky that he bought it locally covered by warranty , and I bought " parallel import " v30 from Europe, so I gotta replace the screen out of my pocket ( about $190 USD )

[@victorbelmares2722]

Great video you convinced me to upgrade to the V30 i have the V10 right now

[@Armfan99]

Good review, have you tested if this phone can respond to "ok google" with the screen locked like the G6 can?

[@PeteLeBoydre]

Have note 8 and don't have any issues with rotation and I like the bigger screen......

[@Eevnos]

Good points man and beautiful B-roll! ..also thanks for giving us an alternative to the iPhone X videos everyone's putting up. 😉

[@Somecooltech1]

Thanks Eevnos, I'm really glad you appreciate the B-roll.

[@drsembee]

Mi opinion about low light video capture: note 8 seem to get less light, but the video seems to have less visible digital noise than v30.

[@tigeracz]

Me2, I've just sold the note 8 blue after used it for 2 months ,switching to v30+ silver, one of the reason is i want to hold a beautiful material phone somehow nearly to an ipx ;p

[@kenki808]
