[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the LG V30 about a month ago as a replacement for my old Galaxy S4. I was initially drawn to the device because of its high fidelity audio integration with the brilliant ESS Sabre DAC and Amplifier. I also wanted a phone that could take high quality pictures and videos. The sound is incredible, and it powers my Oppo PM3 planar magnetic headphones and is an audiophile's dream. The camera is simply amazing, and the video and photos come out beautifully. The Snapdragon 835 speeds through everything I throw at it, and the screen is truly incredible with its bright colors, high resolution, and breathtaking HDR integration. This phone had everything I ever dreamed of in a phone and is, overall, the best phone I have ever owned!

Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality, easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has completely lived up to my expectations! I am curious to see how it handles the adjustments from updates in the future. Looking forward to it either way!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Reviewed this phone before its release and was amazed on what features it had. once i bought this device. i was not disappointed. this phone is defiantly a great buy. camera is amazing. smooth running. and the lg warranty 2 year promise was a great selling point. i would buy this phone 10/10 times!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to go with an out-of-the-box phone and chose the LG V30. It has by far the best package of features that I love. The camera, durability, battery, and QUAD-DAC are absolutely amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy these V phones for 2 main reasons.
1. The high quality headphone jack which when i first heard it with my high quality headphones I was blown away as you can definitely notice a difference and it's awesome. I listen to music 90% of the day so this V30 is the best choice.
2. The wide angle lens. It's just so convenient and awesome looking. I took a trip to Japan and used the wide angle lens for video... so awesome. It allows me to relive my favorite moments of my trip.
I go to shows a lot and when ever I show people videos they are blown away. Usually by the sound since it uses the glass to record high volumes of audio.
Those are my 2 main reasons. Now I was go into other things I enjoy.
2 year warranty: When I first heard about the warranty it made me feel good about buying a phone. It gave me relief in the thought that hey.. i plan on keeping this phone for 2 years and this just makes sense. I like that.
I really like the Always on Display as I have it set to a piece of pizza. I like that.
The overall design of the v30+ is smooth an very clean looking. I like it.
I appreciate this phone coming with a pair of headphones this year. If you're gonna have a high quality headphone jack give us some headphones as well. It only makes sense. you guys did so that'd good. I like that.
Removable storage is always a plus and thanks for letting us add more. I like that.
Wireless charge. great addition to the phone as I use it a lot when I'm at work. just set it down and let it charge. I like that.
The 3d live wallpapers are awesome and I currently use the space one which is so cool when I move t he phone around with my hand. I like that.
The smart settings work as intended which I use and I enjoy them. I like that.
Overall I love this phone and I made the correct choice. There are some improvements that are hopefully made with the v40 but for now this phone is a go and I appreciate LG for adding more features rather than removing main features which People still use.Just don't forget the IR blaster next time.
With that being said I will go into some things I don't like.
The screen is definitely better than the v20 but at lower brightness I see lots of scan lines and it doesn't really look good. Then again I don't buy a phone to use low brightness so it's usually at max at all times so I rarely see that.
the floating bar, it's cool design if you use the main LG skin. I do not use the stock LG theme though. I use another launcher and when you use another launcher the floating bar will not work unless a app is opened, then the floating bar will appear. If it worked all the time I would use it all the time. But since it doesn't I have to knock it.
I do wish the front facing camera was better though. I feel as if my V20 front facing camera is better which is a shame.
I wish the main navigation buttons were more adjustable. I appreciate that I can move them around but I would only like 2 of the buttons not 3. Allow users to choose how many buttons they want and allow us to place them where ever we want. I'm a one handed user so I would put the 2 buttons I like the most on the right side next to each other.
The face recognition needs some work. If it's not perfect light outside It will not recognize my face which is sad. If I could rely on face unlock as my main way to unlock the phone that's what I would choose. But for now I'm stuck with the finger unlock which works fine.
No IR blaster, now I believe you could of easily added the IR blaster in the phone but for whatever reason you guys removed it and that made was a downer for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my V30 plus for just under a month. So far I've enjoyed most of the features the phone has to offer. I'm only annoyed by the constant losing of data. I don't know if it's a phone problem or Sprint problem. I did not have this issue with my last phone. If that can be fixed I'd be 100% satisfied.
