according to LG the major focus of its v-series is to serve the largest growing trend in the market today video consumption phablets make up 34 percent of the market with nearly a hundred percent of the users spending most of their time browsing the web or watching video LG's response as a new V that's far bolder than its predecessor and far better looking I'm home it'll be better with pocket now as part of our coverage of Aoife 2017 let's go hands-on the new LG v 30 okay so if you think that the LG b 30 is just a larger g6 that's actually just from a distance trust me when I say that the V 30 is significantly better the curved borders of the aluminum trim match with a ratio 2d curves of the glass front and back make this phone seem slimmer than it really is and the feel is just surreal far lighter than you'd expect even when compared to the g6 it brings a dramatic improvement in specs now with a snapdragon 835 four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of expandable storage with a mention of an 128 gigabyte variant for certain markets the new 6 inch full vision OLED display brings a taller 18 by 9 aspect ratio almost making the bezels insignificant at a crazy 82 percent screen to body ratio this phone continues the legacy of military-grade 810g durability and ip68 water and dust resistance finally reach the V Series at the expense of a removable battery other things gone are the IR blaster and the secondary display is now replaced with a blend of features from its new always-on display in addition to the optional floating bar in the user interface that UI continues to be LG's proprietary approach I'll focused on taking advantage of the taller display and now the iconography actually got a little more cohesive Android 7.1.2 is powering the show and you finally get options to scale a screen from quad HD II to 1080p plus to save battery consumption now what makes this phone special is that it's a content consumption beast thanks to the hi-fi quad tech support for audio even if the lack of stereo speakers might disappoint more on that on one specific audio quality hands-on as this requires a separate video the other party trick this phone is also a content creation dreamboat with continuously praised the LG fridge dual camera approach now the primary camera gets the widest camera aperture on a phone @f 1.6 and the secondary also gets a boost 2f 1.9 both lenses also benefit from a new crystal clear glass lens which brings in more light and reduces Distortion the camera user interface now supports selective zoom features to give your close-ups of more cinematic feel where we didn't find improvements whereas in the selfie department something LG should really improve but wide-angle photos and video are still here software improvements also make this phone the first to be able to record log video an LG bundle services to help you color grade your video after you're done filming the company even included support for a new service called graph II which lets you import manual settings from video professionals in a way to color grade your content to mimic eras or even film styles like seriously the LG b 30 is pretty much a phone on a class of its own so much so that we had to record separate videos going through all the features in more detail and you can expect that same level of coverage during our review process as we spend our time with a couple of prototypes over the next few weeks well that happens remember our Aoife coverage for 2017 has just begun make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our channel as well for more videos like this one you can also follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore Yvette on instagram @ hi meri behna please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am highlighting that I thank so much for watching we'll see you on the next one
