Design & Display
The LG V30 looks so much like the Galaxy S8, which means a redefined build with slight curves at the back and edges to enable the phone rest well in your palms. The phone comes in a body that is now protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back, and an aluminum frame.
The LG V30's overall footprint has been shrinked, compared to the LG V20. It now comes in a body that measures 151.7 x 75.4 x 7.4 mm and weighs 158 g. No much colour flavours are available for now as the V30 only comes in Cloud Silver and Moroccan Blue.
The LG V30 sports an edge-to-edge, near bezel-less, P-OLED display that is 6-inches in size and comes in at Quad HD (1440 x 2960 pixels ). Gaming and media consumption on the LG V30 should be an enjoyable experience. And the viewing angles and outdoor visibility should present no issues as well.
Camera
The LG V30 is certainly a phone for content creators as it features a dual camera setup on the rear. One is a 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.6 aperture and OIS, while the other is a 13-megapixel wide angle lens, with LED flash for low light shots.
Several features from the V20 returns with the LG V30's camera but one notable addition is the "Cine mode." This is basically a video recording mode that lets you apply colour effects (Cine effects) on whatever you are shooting, on-the-go to give your videos a professional look.
Another great addition is the ability to record videos in log format to get a better dynamic range and detail, which you can later take to your computer for further fine tuning if you so desire.
The cameras on the V30 can record videos at 2160 pixels @30fps. It also features modes like autofocus, touch focus, HDR, panorama, geo-tagging.
On the front of the V30 is a decent 5-megapixel sensor, with features like autofocus, LED flash to aid for better shots in dark areas
Performance & Storage
The LG V30 is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835, Octa-core (4x2.35 GHz Kryo & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo) processor, paired with an Adreno 540 GPU , and backed by 4GB of RAM. 64 GB or 128 GB storage option is what you are getting on the LG V30, which should be enough for pretty much anything, but if you need extra space, you can add a Micro SD card of up to 256 GB.
Battery & Other Features
A 3, 300mAh non-removable battery provides juice for the LG V30 and it is aided with Fast charging capabilities (Quick Charge 3.0) that LG claims will provide 50% charge in just 36 minutes. The LG V30 runs on Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box, which should get an update to Android Oreo soon.
The LG V30 comes with Quad DAC hi-fi audio, which provides better sound experience while listening to music or playing videos. It also ships with a slew of security features such as Finger print scanner, Face unlock and voice unlock.
Availability & Price in Nigeria
The LG V30 is not yet available in Nigeria or Kenya. An official price for the phone has not been revealed but it is said to cost around 900 USD. Expect The LG V30 price in Nigeria to range between 320,000 naira to 400,000 naira at the current exchange rate, when it finally hits online stores.

Alternative Smartphones to The LG V30
The LG V30 ticks every box when it comes to a premium smartphone, but it is still expensive, even though not as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. If you are a photography lover and you do a lot of video recording, then you should consider the Nokia 8 as an option. It comes with a great display as well, high-end specs, with three 13-megapixel cameras; one on the front and two on the back, at a much lower price tag.
The Galaxy S8 and S8 plus are also great looking premium smartphones with top of the line specs. The OnePlus 5 is another option to check out. Elsewhere in the big display category is the Infinix Note 4 and Infinix Note 4 Pro, which also comes with a stylus.
