so LG's V series of phone used to be like their playground they would try new stuff dual screens Dax and see how things worked and eventually that would make its way into the flagship line the G line of phones they're scrapping that whole method now and the V 30 clearly sits atop of their portfolio and this is kind of what the G 6 should have been we're still testing the be 30 before we do a full review but I've already found a lot of stuff to really like about this phone so as you guys decide what phone you want to buy or think about buying here are five reasons of e 30 doesn't suck so I was gonna go in reverse order and start with five and worked my way up but I'm just gonna jump right into number one the screen holy crap that OLED screen looks insane I didn't think that I was gonna find a display that looks better than Samsung Super AMOLED panels on the no date the SAT si plus but damn LG did it this looks better than the Samsung display OLED looks insane on a phone LG's makes awesome OLED TVs but seeing it on a smaller phone form factor a six inch screen it looks so good so the black levels obviously look awesome you expect that with OLED what surprised me was actually the visibility in direct sunlight that's not where old legends I can still see this in direct sunlight your screen gets crazy bright if you're in a dark room and turn the brightness all the way up it's like burn your retinas bright you like the Eclipse glasses to look at it so that has been really surprising colors also obviously look really bright and vibrant but you can see a difference with OLED maybe it's psychosomatic I don't know actually excited to see an OLED phone but hotdamn is a screen look insane good job LG number two so a lot of people were annoyed with the g6 in the US we got wireless charging other mah career markets you got a quad DAC you didn't get both LG righted that ship here you now have quad DAC and you've got wireless charging with the V 30 so if you plug in compatible headphones gonna take advantage of the full audio fidelity wall wireless charging which is really nice to have number 3 battery life I don't know Ola is using less power LG software's just gotten better by the 3309 power batteries pretty good so by comparison on my s8 when I plug in my phone into the night genuinely I meant like twenty to twenty five sometimes thirty percent at the v3 and the same usage I met thirty to thirty five percent so I'm getting pretty good battery life here it's something I'm really happy to see with LG I wasn't the biggest fan of battery life on the g6 so it looks like the trend continues they fix the machine with the g6 the V thirty can last you easily all day so I don't mean for this via the turns like a g6 bashing but number four is speed the GC kind of Snapdragon 820 one for a lot of things didn't matter but where it did matter was using LG's multi window and trying to do two things the phones tend to slow down oftentimes stutter especially well one of those windows with streaming video 8:35 on the v 30 same four gigabytes of RAM and the same issues I had with the g6 are gone with the V 30 same four gigabytes of RAM are here but the Snapdragon 835 make things way quicker than I had with the g6 no slowdown no stutter for doing exact the same test that had at the g6 so speed pretty good and number five intangibles so I just finished playing with the essential phone and that phone is really solid and sewn right but it's missing some stuff LG checks almost all the flagship boxes that you'd expect so you've got quad DAC you've got wireless charging you've got expandable storage you've got fast charging and you've got USB C you also have IP 68 water resistance things you're missing removable battery and an IR blaster if that's important to you bear in mind but it does check almost all the boxes for flagship phone that's nice to see and all that stuff plus a headphone jack makes a V 30 at least appear to be really solid choice looking to get a new phone over the next few months if screen is important to you you gotta take a look at the OLED screen maybe it's not gonna sell you on the phone itself but damn does it look really good the screen is super important to me and LG hit this one out of park so the V 30 it's pretty solid phone we're still doing our test though anything you guys want to see us check out in the full review leave it down below and let us know mashup thumbs up button really appreciate it or if you didn't like the video there's button for that so next time I'm John Ranger you
