do you ever get the feeling each new phone is missing something you'd want say a great camera long battery life for a headphone jack Samsung has been the only phone maker to offer into everything but the kitchen sink phone but now there's the LG v 30 as well okay it's big and expensive at eight hundred and thirty dollars for the unlocked version that works on every carrier trust me you'll want that but for the money the V 30 includes practically every feature I cranked vibrant OLED screen check gorgeous glass and metal build yep waterproofing and wireless charging totally fingerprint sensor yes and it's beautifully placed unlike samsung's camera smudge magnet and if you're a headphone jack junkie check this out the V 30 has the jack and a built-in digital and analog converter that makes my music sound awesome it it idli you'll need some decent headphones to really notice so here's the part where I'd usually revealed the deal breaking law say a crappy camera a poor battery life but no my v30 always lasts well past bedtime and our tests show the battery neck-and-neck with Samsung's similarly sized phones and while Mattila cameras on the v30 don't have a fancy portrait mode they take better photos than Samsung during the day time even a Phil G's slow autofocus made me miss some shots in low-light particularly love LG's wide-angle camera which you won't find on competing phones honestly I do think that the V 30s design needs some work it's wide kind of slippery and the rough edges on the USB port make my usual pinkie hold hurt and I wouldn't buy this phone to shoot casual video either Samsung Apple and Google pixel phones all have better video stabilization and shoot crisper footage in full auto mode but if you're a pro it's worth noting the V 30 can natively shoot log format video which offers more dynamic range that you can tweak and post speaking of which curious to find out did you notice we shot this entire review with the LG v 30 itself you
