find the difference lad find the difference okay here at MWC 2018 LG is getting into the S model game for new phones which means doing a small iterative change to a device we've already seen so this right here is the LG v 30 and this is LG v 30s if you're not able to support a difference other than the slightly different silver color that's because there isn't any these phones in terms of hardware identical what we've seen LG do in reality is issue software updates in the form of hardware launch with this LG v 30s technically the company is also calling the device the LG v 30s thank you but I think that's such a terrible name I'm just not gonna repeat it anymore but what does the LG v 30 years give us above and beyond the be 30 well one thing okay fair enough to OG there's more RAM so it goes for 4 gigs to 6 gigs you get more storage so the options are 64 gigs I've worded to 128 128 is upgrade to 256 besides that LG is also giving you a new function called a I cam this is done in partnership with I am and they have taken a hundred million photos put them into machine learning system and trained that so that the AI cam functionality can detect you seen basically and just said a bit of color profile color bracketing they call it and make sure that the settings match the scene that you're taking a photo of one example that would you gave is it makes food look more delicious I don't know what exactly that entails but that's how she describes it I think primarily what it's going to do is make things look a bit more vivid maybe contrast a little bit and it might also help with white balance detection and exposure detection things like that LG is also adding a new function to the camera which is a bright mode is what LG is calling it and that's actually combining pixels so it combines four pixels into one so when you're in really low light situations you take a 4 megapixel photo which much brighter than the usual 16 megapixel photo so there the trade-off is delese resolution but you gave brightness in extremely low light situations now the thing with both these functions the AI cam and the bright mode photo they're interesting and it might be compelling for a whole bunch of people but LG has already promised that it's going to be issuing those a software update for the V 30 so in reality the difference between the V 30 and V 30 s is color it's the ability to have a bit more RAM so maybe slightly smoother performance I haven't noticed it myself in playing around with the new phone compared to the old one and more storage you know one of the things that upset me when I was reviewing the original V 30 it was actually the quality of the display with I talked to LG asked them specifically about display and the company said that he has not changed at all so having said that the V 30 s and V 30 very similar that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to have a bad phone with V 30 yes and one of those really great strengths of the V 30 is the audio system so these phones do still have a headphone jack LG is taking with a headphone jack and the V 30 produced the best audio that I've heard from any smartphone to date I would have much preferred to see LG do more here you have the snapdragon 835 processor instead of the 845 which is now available and probably going to be in the new Galaxy S 9 and some reason flagship and so on as soon as two cameras on the back one is telephoto one is wide-angle I would have liked to see LG do more to upgrade their improve the image quality what LG has opted to do is go the AI route of having automatic automated scene detection and oh there's another thing which is called LG's cue lens which is supposed to allow you to shop by taking photo or something and that does visual shopping connected with Amazon I tried that with V 30 it offered me I phone as SD auto-detected option I flipped the phone around I took a photo of the back of the v30 it started offering me cell phone cases so that Q lens functionality I omitted to mention it because I don't really see this being a particular function with the moment I'm not able to show for anything with it as I say the edge of e30 was already a pretty decent phone and the LGB 30s is pretty much a reissue of the same thing what this does signal though is LG's new strategy the company's new president for its mobile division it's rethinking everything and that's part of the reason why we're not seeing the new g-series flagship here at MWC you could say that V 30 years is kind of filling the void of not having a new flagship phone from LG but it also shows that LG is going to iterate faster it will have these S models in the future so its next flagship which might be coming out in June that might be succeeded within six months just as the V 30 was succeeded by this V 30s model so this is something that I guess we're just going to have to get used as I'm gonna show you the same please got this as I say the LGP 30 was already a pretty decent phone and the ojv 30 yeah
