LG V30s ThinQ Hands On

2018-02-24
age structure for guard Oh what's going on everybody and this is a look at a brand new version of the LGV 30 now if you were looking for something that was truly revolutionary from LG you may not be finding it here this is basically the LG v 30 basically all of the same specifications with a couple of changes now the six gigabytes of RAM is a nice welcome addition and the one that we are using in this video is the new Moroccan blue we won for the blue one over the Platinum gray one which looks just like a darker version of the silver that we had in our review already on top of they bump up in RAM you also get a huge bump up in storage 128 gigabytes or 256 gigabytes of on-board storage are available in this version as well everything is the same here right down to the materials the feel and also the cameras you still get the wide-angle lens on the rear and you get the front facing camera that admittedly is not the best one of the bunch but what LG is trying to introduce at least in the LGV 30s thinkyou edition yes that is the full name of this phone the LG v 30s as we'll call it here is the one that is supposed to bring more artificial intelligence features and it mainly has to do with a couple of camera modes going to the camera and there are a couple of buttons there that allow you to do a few different functions one of them in particular is an AI lens which uses some machine learning in order to figure out what kind of subject is in the frame in a lot of cases is going to be pretty obvious you're probably pointing it at a person and it will change the settings to a better suit the kind of photo you would want of a portrait for example or if you have a piece of fruit in front of it then it'll say that it's food we did do a somewhat unscientific test where we had a person and the camera did denote that it is a person in front of the camera hold up a piece of fruit to cover their face and see if it was going to change it up well we think that because it kept seeing the hands that it kept seeing a person which is kind of fair once we put this orange down on a table and pointed the camera at it it was like okay this is definitely food I did use it for a couple of other situations as well it did find that this was a flower even though it is a fake set of points EDIUS and then from there we were able to go to the cue lens the cue lens is the other option here that is supposed to marry not only user input but also some artificial intelligence features you might see on other phones it's going to search or do a reverse image search on in this case Amazon Pinterest or you might just want to scan a QR code all three of those options are available on the bottom and if you get your subject into frame and then select which network you want to search it will figure out what that item is now obviously systems like this even ones we've seen on bixby and on google lens aren't always perfect we did scan a book and it did find it on Amazon but the other items are just vague enough that it wasn't really looking for the specific bottle of wine in this case instead it just found bottles of wine LG has also changed up the camera a little bit to provide what is called a bright mode where they take four groups of the megapixels the 16 megapixels in the camera groups them together to flood more light into the sensor but you get a 4 megapixel picture now inside of the camera it will just automatically figure out that you need the bright mode on and there's an icon to turn it on and off so if you are looking for a huge in ocean from LG here at MWC 2018 you might be a bit disappointed just like we were now we're always going to enjoy some different design choices but other than the color and the 6000 bytes of ram there's really not much differentiating this phone from the LGV 30s that already exist out there in the world LG was pretty quick to say that they do have some huge announcements coming a little bit later this year but right now they are sticking to this new idea that they're going to do incremental improvements onto the phones that already exist that they know already successful now though we are going to do a full review on this phone mainly over the AI features we can say right now that if you already have an LG V 30 then maybe this upgrade is not something you would want to consider but if you've been holding out until now you might already be missing out on a great video camera on the LG v 30 and now it comes with a new color in any case keep it tuned to android authority for all of the best including more on this the LG v 30s think you and you can stay tuned for all of the great announcements that we're seeing here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain remember to head over to Andrew authority calm for even more of all of that coverage and then subscribe to this channel if you haven't already because we are your source for all things Android
