[@Imman1s]

If you care about sound, you use headphones to take advantage of the quad DAC, not the crappy speakers. The G7 seems to have louder and likely better speakers, but is nowhere close to audiophile quality.

G7 sound that loud ONLY ON THE TABLE... You should take them both in hand and test also this way too because not all the time we carry a table with us. The surface of the phone (g7) transfer sound vibration to the table and make this resonate în tune with the sound. Boombox sound booster.

[@michaelhazellful]

Venom415 doesn't mean it's better quality. It's the same quality dac, the only difference is they include dts:X surround sound for a sorta spatial listening experience. If you want that you can always use a 3D audio app www.waves.com/nx/mobile-app Most of the added presets was for the spatial audio, it's still not manual tuning which would've been nicer. You aren't missing much if you have the v30 to the g7. Both default at 4gbs of ram and have almost equal gaming performance, 4gbs is kinda low they should've launched it standard with 6gbs.

I bought a lightly used sprint LG V30+ on ebay a couple weeks ago with a father's day discount code for $260 shipped. I quickly converted it to open market and rooted it, and now it's running beautifully on t-mobile. V30 blows the G7 out of the water based on value alone since you can get them so cheap now. The G7 is only a minor upgrade in some areas (processor), and a notable downgrade in others (screen). It's too bad LG value sinks like a rock bc V30 was probably the best phone of 2017. But it's great for those looking for a deal!

G7 ThinQ. Yes!

[@beezbuzzful]

These videos do not do the ThinQ speaker(s) justice. I hesitantly returned my S9+ and purchased the ThinQ, the ThinQ hands down has the best sounding speaker(s). From I've learned the down firing speaker IS NOT the only speaker. It seems that somehow LG has managed to put at least one other speaker towards the back of the device. If you cover the down firing speaker when listening to music you will notice. And the bass, no other phone has the bass the ThinQ has. In my opinon the ThinQ has true surround sound on a smartphone. I am very satisfied with the ThinQ.

[@sandorbence2067]

How do you have animated home button on the V30? I can't do it on mine (on Oreo). By the way the G7 is good, but the v30 has a way better look, the G7 has weird proportions, big botton bezel, and a notch, and these things don't mix (for comparison the OP6 looks way better even with the notch). The G7 also has a narrower FOV on the secondary camera which I don't understand. Otherwise great phone, and you can probaly get it dirt cheap in about a few months (here the v30 lost 50% of it's value in 3 months, glad I bought it now).

For me the narrower filed of view (107°) on the G7 wide angle lens is a deal breaker, what's the point if you keep narrowing down the viewing angle when it supposed to be a wide angle lens, the 120° field of view on the V30 is the sweetest spot for an ultra wide angle camera. I see no distortion from it. And the notch, the top and bottom bezel is a little thicker on the G7 (when you hide the notch), and the display aspect ratio is even longer, OMG, an eyesore to look at that slim footprint. V30 looks perfectly balanced overall.
