so this looks like a fancy package right here I have a special smartphone in here it's an LG V 30 the new color the kind of what is it well raspberry rose that sounds appetizing when I was at CES I got my first peek at this particular device and I was like how is it that I have not unboxed an lg me 30 as you can see I've got a nice little card here happy Valentine's Day as well let's get this open what oh my whoa that is kind of cool that's cool be a no play this is one of the last remaining devices that cares about the headphone amplification on the headphone jack so that's really cool see and this is the way a seal is meant to be the last video we did the sticker was just like somewhere over here boom oh baby dual lens system up here this is one of my favorite implementations because one of the lenses is a wide-angle lens landscapes or architecture you have that ability oh cool Bang & Olufsen headset right there that's in the box guys Wow not only does this device keep the headphone jack but it's actually supposedly one of the best headphone jacks on any smartphone they're using an upgraded DAC in there Oh fingerprint scanner this is also a button as well no need for a power switch on the side this one feels immediately a little bit lighter is this thing lighter than 158 grams let's say an iPhone 8 plus 202 grams and this is a hundred and fifty something so it is quite light alright so fingerprint setup time so fingerprint unlocks with or without a click and boom it's fast it's nice actually if I click down on it then that locks the device it makes a lot of sense like why do you have to have a power switch and a separate fingerprint reader pixel to excel right here why do I have this extra button here why wouldn't this on the back just be a button okay now this is a P OLED display what's the resolution well 1440p it actually looks pretty good you'll see if I scroll down here on the settings I can turn the hi-fi quad DAC on or off right from that location now I'll show you what I'm talking about regarding the wide angle the way it's represented over here is with a single tree or three trees it's not a software effect it's not a crop effect actually shifting to the other lens let's say you're trying to take a picture of your friend single tree mode that's a pretty decent image right there I switch to the wide lens and whoa look how much more is in frame it's night and day standard focal range and there's the wide one often I will carry around a moment lens just to have a wide angle shot this should be talked about more I mean it's really cool what you can do with this why not wide I mean it's really truly like having two cameras on you at all times it's unfortunate that the dual camera setup it became this thing that it turns out software can do a good job of replicating but this implementation here this is the real reason it should exist two unique focal opportunities in your pocket at all times average I would say nowhere near the razor phone acceptable let's put it that way be you know earbuds if you're into music audio I can't think off the top of my head if someone who's putting that much focus and certainly not at the flagship level experience high quality sound via hi-fi quad DAC and look at this various sound presets normal enhanced detailed live I'll select bass there's a digital filter here a left-right balance as well I mean this is something guys that you're not seeing out of the box on a lot of phones I kind of want to compare to the pixel to Excel switching Dax I'm gonna play the same song too it might sound a little bit better but expected that to be louder the volume is almost identical can we get like an over ear style headphone when you pair this with the higher caliber headphones they included in the box there's no doubt it sounds good it's it's very clear but there is something here kind of where it hasn't met my expectation and that's in overall volume you might be expecting a kind of punch you in the face type of sound the volume is comparable to the pixel 2xl it if anything the pixel 2xl might actually be a little bit louder I do wish it gave a little bit more juice there's a little bit of talk online about whether or not this DAC is being limited for some sort of safety reason so that's a possibility as well okay from a display perspective here's a quick comparison pixel to XL to V 30 you've got a galaxy s 8 followed by an iPhone 10 a little bit more blueish this is maybe a little more greenish we're talking about OLED and once you make that move to OLED that's the biggest jump you have the four displays you tell me down in the comments which is the most pleasing to your eyeballs alright so there you have it s the V 30 alright the special color for that special person in your life the thing about the cameras probably speaks to me the most my expectations for the DAC were a little bit higher v 30 are you gonna switch over what about the pixel you're gonna take the SIM card out is the dual lens worth it it's hard for me to imagine that right now but man that wide-angle thing it's kind of compelling for me I believe I would hardly ever put it on the other lens about everybody gathering there we go kablammo nice looking proper optical wide image I might pop my sim in it for a little bit but as of right now I don't think it's gonna be able to displace the pics will choo excel in my pocket there it is keeping it real with you guys alright LG v 30 nonetheless some cool stuff going on today's episode of unbox the repeat as been brought to you by the new 2018 Ford EcoSport let's check it out so the thing that immediately catches my attention here is this large 8 inch display with capacitive touch his features sink 3 and the
