LG V40 ThinQ

Big G

Don't think twice It's a very good phone.Better than Asus 6Z ,One Plus and Oppo Reno,And Mi Phones.Lg Phone is under rated but it's a very very good phone.And UI is very smooth only cons Slow Software update.

Only have a question is it advisable to switch to lg v40 from lg v40. Because I am more concerned about the battery life. My LG v30 last a full day of serious usage. Advise!

You mean the radio fm which you install is now working without internet connection? Or it need internet connection?

David

Eh.. Huawei's phones yield me the best reception I ever had. Before I have had a Sony, LG, Motorola and a Oneplus. Nothing compares to my Chinesium phone :)

i have the same phone as you, EU open version, have the latest patches from 1.september, and fm radio u can download form any site. This fone is perfect, i really don't know why people are talking bad things about v40. Updates are ok, but of course, who takes this fone over internet, have problems, they are not meant for that region, and updates won't work. U have to do it manually. Of course it have sd card slot. I am using it.

There definitely is a SD slot up to two terabytes pull out the microchip draw and we'll be in there

Yes. Thank you. But it need mobile or wifi connection. I really need enable internal chip without need mobile or wifi connection, like LG G8, LG G7, LG G6, LG V30, LG V40 american ...

No dedicated SD card slot, the spec is wrong. Just lost €535 on a phone that is no use...

The european version doesn't have FM radio. Why? The same is with LG G8s. I am very interesting about buying these phone, but no radio, no buy.

gesefe

There is NO dedicated SDcard slot, it shares tray with SIM2, so just a hybrid dual SIM. There is no FM radio chip, tried to enable it with various radio apps...no luck. My model version is LM-V405EBW. I purchased this phone based on gsmarena specs, especially for the SD dedicated slot and FM radio and I am totally disappointed because they are missing!

Camera is totally changed. Lost the scenes section and the nice dials. I loved the originalOreo camera version.

I have owned the V10, V20, and now te V40 thinq and each phone was excellent and I couldnt be more happier. I was a little hesitant to switch to a phone without the ability to remove battery, but so far it has not been an issue. The LG V40 thinq has been out for 10 months now and it is still a beast. Major improvements include screen to body ratio, advanced camera system, built in sound, and incredible OLED display. At 6.4 inches it has a much larger screen than the V20 yet the overall length of the phone is equal to that of the V20. I highly recommend this phone.

Tinel

Mate, are you talking about the lg v40 thinq? Because camera quality is cr*p, and the battery take a lot to charge.

For LG V30 and V40 users: Q1: It is better to buy LG V40 korean Variant or not? Q2: which is better and what is the difference of V40 to V30 camera? Thanks

Anonymous

I see but I don't like the idea of not being able to use all 3 lenses (especially the ultra wide angle) in a video shoot. Thats the only problem for me as in the V20 I can switch between them without stopping. Do you own a V40? Did LG solve them via software update?

U.S. here. My T-Mobile version came with Next Radio installed as the FM radio app.

The LG V40 is like the V20 on steroids. It is a great upgrade for a V20 owner and I would choose it over the 7.

I have had this phone ever since release, and it is amazing! The cameras are extraordinary! The zoom and wide angles are so versatile. The phone charges very quickly and has decent battery life. The fingerprint sensor is lightning fast. The double-tap on/off feature is very convenient. When you plug in a headphone jack, the sound is crisp and fantastic! LG probably has the most focus on sound compared to other companies. No matter what others say, I cannot deny the fact that I had a very pleasant experience. If I had to choose between an S10 or this, I would honestly choose the V40 Thinq.

Hi... Can anyone tell me if LG has fixed the camera switching while recording videos after updating to Pie? I know it can switch between telephoto and normal camera but not the wide unless you stop and start recording again since launch. I'm looking into this for my upgrade from V20 and if switching between all 3 cameras are now possible without stopping then it would be great. If its not fixed then probably the G7 would be better.

I've been a fan of this brand for a few years, and I bought the LG v30 and got my money for the flagship of this model, but I made a mistake because there was a problem with the CPU or shaded image and every year worse than last year.

LG Phone very good but they are under rateted. That's the only roblem.Never compare LG with one plus and Asus phone and Xiaomi devices.Its a class one device very and fully loaded.One thing more in network reception only Motorola,Nokia and Lg will score 9.9/10.Its the truth.Ussers will achieve great network reception with Motorola,Noka and Lg only. No brands will come close to these three brands in network connectivity.

That’s not good news for FM radio tuners. By the way, does your phone V40 ThinQ still have the double tap on screen to turn on/off? Love this function, but I haven’t used LG phones since 2016. Thanks

Hi. I bought the european version (germany) of the v40 yesterday. all good, got the update but guess what - it doesn`t have the fm radio app. i tried installing 3 different versions with no result. I had no idea that they ditched the all essential fm radio feature for europe... such a bummer. I will return the product and try the korean version. Anybody else had this experience?

I purchased V40Thinkq couple of months back.. Heating problem experience after use for considerable time. Does same heating problem for same time not exist even in costly high end samsung phones. Unavoidable perhaps powerful processor is inside. The only way is to use the hand set for small time only.

Not heat problems so far, after 2 months, and in more or less warm weather. Long way since v10, you cannot compare.

AtomStar

I'm considering acquiring this device.  Question : Does the V40 have heat issues ?  Does it ever feel excessively warm during heavy usage ?  I'm currently using the V10 and after a year or so, all my batteries have resulted in bulging forcing me to purchase more batteries.  Does any V40 owner know if they've noticed a slight bulge on the back of the phone or excessive "warmness" ? Thank, in advance.

From my experience the V40 charges quickly especially when compared to my V20 so there seems to be an issue of some type. I would suggest trying another charger/cable rated for Quick Charge 3.0.

rahul

check the charger spec. phone is qcom quick charge 3.0. may be lg gave cheaper charger. check current output specification of charger in v20 and v40

Logic

I am very happy with the phone. I have the feeling that most of negative comments come from not owners. Only one question: it charges quite slow. Much slower than my previous V20. Is it normal or maybe my unit is faulty? thanks

rahul

it is personal choice buddy :) . I got it for manual video , audio quality , haptics , wide angle camera etc . The software is more polished and have more options than stock android . If i need updates as preference , i would get google phones . So there are people who don't care of OS updates ( android kitkat to lollipop to marshmallow, there was a performance difference because of DEX to ART. Now do you know what will you get even if android P or Q ) . Believe me LG software is pure and clean with lot of cusomization( even we can uninstall google bloatware ) .

The S10s extra wide angle has too much distortion. LG V40 isn't as wide angle of view but does not have the fish eye effect the Samsung does. The main cameras of the V40 are also better.

I would not hesitate one second and go for the V40. I've a S9+, and two spec' of it will stop me to go to Galaxy S series again: the software, I find the LG's one much more intuitive, and mostly the screen: it's my first curved screen, and I find it highly uncomfortable.

Anonymous

I've been thinking about this handset as a second option. S10 plus would be my first. I think the more demanding we get the battery has to have more capacity. Any qi charging device needs to have an enclosed battery. Any factory ip68 device these days has to be airtight and sealed. So you can't have it both ways.

None

Too expensive, I am better off buying an S9 or a P20 pro, almost 200 Euros cheaper than V40. Just don't make sense. And after my G4 was lost due to the common bootloop problem, no more LG for me.

Huawei honor 10

How long is the battery life with heavy usage will it get through a day? Atm I'm using an honor 10 from huawei. I'm thinking of going to the lg v40 did think about the G7 until I realised it was crud. I'm also thinking of the v40 for the camera I'm on a budget of £500 and it's around that brand new on ebay. Thanks.

Huawei honor 10

Mate, it's a flagship phone you don't see all the other flagship phones with removable batteries do you? No you don't. And if you want a v20 get a bloody v20, what's the problem?

TekD

Non-removable battery is a joke. It's an anti-consumer practice designed to force obsolescence after 18-24 months. I'd rather get a refurbished LG V20 than get a brand new LG V40.

Nah the battery is disappointing. I'm not even a heavy user and I had battery anxiety. I'm using an LG V30 now. Display isn't as nice but it isn't so power-hungry either.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 that I loved it first , but a year later it became laggy would shut off on me and I traded it in for a budget LG k20v, and I was very impressed with it & kept it for about 8 months until I was able to upgrade to the v40 and my goodness this phone is amazing ,sharp picture, with one of the highest resolutions out there on the 6.4 in p o l e d screen and it looks stunning that quad DAC IP68.blazin fast processor etc etc... this phone is a total Power House that flies under the radar but for people who love to listen to high quality music this phone is for you and that's just one of the great things that it does...

Nice looking phone but too expensive at the moment. Hopefully there will be a price drop.

Really enjoying the LG V40. Sound from the speakers is awesome! Really nice pictures from the camera. I've no issues with battery life (tons of usage at work & home) as I can make it through the day with plenty of juice to spare. Notch can be concealed, but I just got used to it in all honesty & just left it be. Headphone jack & quad DAC are the joint. Great phone for me and my usage. An underrated gem in a sea of overrated pretenders for me.

Recently i used note 9. And . 6T.... Last recent updates those mobiles have heavy lag . V40 patch work december ... Better than them. Note 9 is horrible

Best mobile. Superb mobile... 6.4 beautiful display. Back camera beast. Front not a problem better than before.. but battery half meals only. LG should change

I think the mediocre battery is a worthwhile tradeoff for the headphone jack and boombox speakers. It will get you through a day and I'm never far from a charger. If I'm stranded in outer Mongolia it might be a problem.

Medstar1

I've owned a number of LG phones: LG Leon, G4, V20 and most recently, the V40. I've had no problems with any of these phones. The thing with LG is the issue of Quality Control or lack thereof. I escaped the boot loop debacle with the G4, my V20 made the transition from Nougat to Oreo without the problems some of my fellow owners experienced, and the Leon was handed down to my sister and just recently passed on to android heaven. You look at LG-focused sites and it looks like posters are talking about 2 very different phones. Some are happy with the performance of their device while others think they own the biggest POS to ever be produced. I suggest that once you have the phone in hand you put it through all of its paces during that first week...I mean test everything. Start with getting it set up right there in the store and have someone call you, start taking videos, etc. I have an almost 3 year old T-mobile branded V20 that has been my daily driver right up until the purchase of the V40 about a month ago. I actually had no intentions of purchasing another LG device after they decided to become more Samsung/Apple like and took away all of the features that made the V20 a stand out phone. I decided since they were going to be more Samsung-like I might as well cut out the middleman and bought a Samsung device. But when I was offered a new in the box V40 for $400 I couldn't pass that up. I have been very pleased with my phone. It does last me the whole work day during which I use navigation continuously, stream I Heart radio, exchange emails, make phone calls, access the company website for client info and browse the internet for news stories. The camera/video special effects are fun and I am very happy with my purchase.

RKD

Cons——poor battery life, not great front camera like always, too long and big design, power button should be in the back!! Otherwise, its a great phone. Not switching my v30 anytime soon!!!

AnnaXX

I don't know what's wrong with LG, I wonder if do they really go through expert reviews on youtube and on tech websites or care about customer feedbacks.. Lots of negative reviews about LG G7 bad battery life still only 3300 mah battery in this 6.4" high res screen phone... It is like a selling a powerful all feature rich car with 15 liters of fuel tank, when you drive it runs great but after each 10 km you have to refill its tank..

In my country LG V40 and the P20 pro are at same price inspite of LG launching the V40 just last month and the P20 pro is available since long back. Mate 20 not available in my country only the Mate 20 Pro which is super expensive more than Note 9. LG even though launched the G7 and V40 late in my country but they launched them both at great prices. G7 in my country costs less than the OP6 and the V40 costs less than the S9+. Different markets different dynamics I would say.

Anonymous

Thank you for your reply, vvvky. I shall go with the Mate 20 then, after some hands-on testing with display models at my local telco store. It's kind of sad that LG V40 and Mate 20 series were announced at roughly the same time, but LG V40 is only available 3~4 months in many countries (including mine) after its announcement. By then, Mate 20's price have already dropped considerably and looks more favorable to buyers. If LG V40 and Mate 20 were of the same price, I would have gone for the LG V40, mainly due to its comparable (and at times superior) triple cam setup and excellent video recording quality, despite its poorer battery. Mate 20 (non-pro) vs LG V40 Comparison

Vvvky

1. Mate 20 battery life better than V40. 2. Camera quality all reviews will tell you that Mate 20 is better than V40 and some will even tell you it's better than the Galaxies. I personally like the V40 pics more than the Mate it's my opinion and maybe wrong. 3. Video quality LG is better it supports 4K 60fps, HDR 10 video recording and LGs manual mode is superb. But if the Mate 20 is 200 USD cheaper then why bother the V40 ? Simply go for the Mate 20. Battery life and camera both are awesome you won't regret it.

Anonymous

Which triple camera phone should I get between LG V40 and Huawei Mate 20 (non-pro)? In my country, LG V40 is only recently available and is about USD$200 more expensive than vanilla Mate 20 (after conversion from my country's currency). Mate 20 X (too big for my taste) and Mate 20 Pro (do not need fancy features, and there is no audio jack, as well as poor speakers which are located inside the usb-c port) are out of my budget. Key features that I will look out for are: 1) Battery Life (Most important factor) 2) Camera Quality (Comparing the regular camera and ultra wide angle camera) 3) Video Recording Quality (I know LG is the best in this, but how does Mate 20 compete) Anyone willing and able to shed some light on this comparison? I am aware that the LG V40 is understandably more expensive due to using AMOLED screen, IP68 waterproof rating and its superb audio quality (one of the best phones in this area). However, is LG V40 worth the extra price tag compared to Mate 20, if we take into account battery life and camera performance? Would appreciate the feedback if any.

Why change the power button? Should be in the back! Why notch? Battery life should be good or better as v30!!!! Lg is messing up man. Sad.

But irony is LG India did not promote this great device. Not even a single tweet from LG India. LG did not care about marketing.

Vvvky

With exchange offer you can get another Rs 5000 off. I can currently buy it for just 43008 after availing the exchange offer (1982 for my current device plus 5000 additional discount). A great deal I would say. LG did right in India by launching the G7 at a price to compete with the likes of OP6 and the V40 with the S9/S9+. Also Samsung reduced the price of the S9 after this V40 launched. LG should have followed this same strategy in other countries too. The G series should be made to compete with the Chinese flagship killers from OnePlus, Honor, Xiaomi, etc. and the V series with Samsung's S series. LG should stop thinking about the Note, iPhones and the Mates.

Looks like LG only focus on USA for their LG V40. Where is the international variant? None existence. As a LG fan, I rather feel disappointed.

Vvvky

I hope it drops to 40000 INR just like the G7 dropped within months from 40000 to 30000 INR. The V40 will be a superb phone if it drops to 40K in 3 or 4 months from now.

Medstar1

I would have to disagree with you my friend. LG was the 1st to implement the use of the extra wide angle lens set up, the 1st to utilize a Quad DAC audio system, the 1st non-Pixal company to run Nougat out of the box, and one of the first to implement a good dual lens camera set up. LG has always been known for having devices with innovative features. It was too bad that they discontinued the swappable battery and IR features after the V20 which is a great phone that I still use as one of my daily drivers.

Vvvky

Some YouTube reviews say that OIS is not available on the Telephoto camera but gsmarena says the opposite. Can someone confirm whether the Telephoto camera has OIS or not ?

Because nobody cares about LG smartphone. LG is a nobody in the smartphone space. Its phones don't even sell in its home market. LG is a follower in the design and technology of smartphone, and a slow and incompetent follower at that. Smartphone has been a money losing enterprise for LG, in a way very similar to HTC. (HTC even had a few good years, and LG has never made any money in its phone business.) LG is following HTC slowly but surely towards the smartphone-neverland.

V40 will only be available in The Netherlands from February this year, kinda late to be honest.

Vvvky

Surprisingly the G7 with a smaller battery and LCD screen gives better battery life than the V40. Overall I think the G7 is the better deal in India only thing we are missing is the Telephoto camera of the V40 but the G7s low price is enough to justify that sacrifice.

Anonymous

Anyone in India have to wait for price drop because this device is INR 50,000 which is little bit high. LG device should be buy with little patience of time so you will get better value of money. LG price drop is so frequently. If you want then also peek on LG G7 ThinQ which is INR 33,000 (64GB).

sam

v40 will be available in south africa from the 7th of february you can go to any vodacom outlet you,l find it.

Can confirm. People are reporting much better SoTs, like really really good SoTs that you wouldn't expect from that 3300mAh battery in it

LG V40 ThinQ is arriving INDIA. Sale start from 20th Jan as Amazon Exclusive. I think Flipkart is better option than Amazon for better smartphone sale in India.

Is Poco F1 and Mi Mix 3 the same?

I did...quite a handful of reviewers stated that this is a great device..minus the battery which is just above average but in most cases disappointing...maybe just 1 or 2 reviews stated V40 having a awesome or great battery life...

Palirudin

Lol...u just make me laugh.Do check at youtube battery test. V40 beat pocophone F1..... So dont trust 100% on the battery test that was made on this website

Copy the cat

Lol u just make me laugh...do check at youtube V40 beat pocophone F1 battery test

I think LG should make a request to XIAOMI management to help them with battery issues. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, which has a 6.39 display and a smaller battery (same CPU) has a way better battery life than V40...84 hours Xiaomi compared to 64 hours V40...are they better?!

This phone is available on the Philippines ????

bigger screen than G7....battery consumption is not that well optimized...

Alex

Battery bigger then LG G7 and battery life is less??? Very strange...

Omid Omidvar

Without hesitation.The best LG smartphone that LG has made up to now!But as a omitting habit in LG products ,IR,USB 3.1 + otg has been deleted . The most important:The battery products as usual is 3000 mAh and 3300 mah !!!? Some of the reasons , LG selling has dropped down and qualities go counterclockwise !!!?Itn is a must that brand must consider people smart and genius that they credit for their hardest earnings money.Thanks concious people,gsmArena to follow fact writing,amd LG respects people high ends understanding....

Mobsyr

It would be no. Phone if it has 4000mah battery , but all lg phone has small batteries.

roustabout

which phone is is the best audio to the headphones among v series?

Earl

Just makes it.

Thanks for sharing,i've had the V10,V30 and now V40.My 1st impression was that this phone had bad Battery life.I went to Settingsence and turned off all the stuff i don't use and there's a difference.Phone shipped with alot of stuff turned on. Hope this helps

Vvvky

So the only major con of this device is the battery. The rest two of color accuracy and selfies I don't care about. Hope LG releases an updated version of the phone with bigger battery with better optimisation and of course Android Pie and at a competitive price. This phone has great cameras and audio too but of no use as the battery life sucks.

IS the SD card slot dedicated or hybrid? Thanks...

I have been using this phone for almost a month. Battery life is not the greatest, but it will comfortably get me through a day of heavy use. I can honestly say that I haven't really had to worry about the battery like their tests would lead you to believe. It's average for a flagship phone, it's far from the worst.

Jay

I have this phone and it has been great, the photos have gotten better after updates and the battery life although isn't the greatest, it's more than adequate. I average around 5 hours screen on time, which isn't bad.

This is the best useless phone on the market depending on the battery time, how hard is to give it some juice so it can last couple of days between charges?

Are there any other videos besides that one? Because I looked for others like it amd came ip empty. Therefore, you can't be upset rhat a video shows one thing and a review ahows another. Bring more evidence to the table. And don't get me wrong, I too want to buy this phone, but not with a 64h battery life. Hope new management can do something in the right direction for LG Mobile Division.

Idk. Maybe they reviewing the faulty V40. If you dont believe. Better to review it your self at youtube V40 battery test. This phone having a excellent battery life!

basically you are saying that GSMARENA did crappy tests?

AtomStar

LG, ...when will you make and release a TRUE successor to the V10 and V20 ? ? Second Screen, Removable Battery, Q-Remote .... and to all idiots intending to bash this comment. Shut Up ! ! Go suckle on something if you need to feel better. To all the non-LG smartphone opinions/reviews posted here, your con-game never worked. I've had hands on with other brands... I'm sticking with LG.

Palirudin

Lol you are comparing low resolution oppo with high resolution V40. Idk youtubers review V40 battery is good as V30. Idk how come this website get 64hrs. V40 beat Xz3, F1 also XS max at youtube battery test!

Lg v40

Making good technology but not launching . New featres added in camera. Not launching. Other companies will copy yours and they release faster than you. WAKE UP LG

siminum

I've notices that GSMARENA published Realme U1 review. This device has a 3500 mAh and a 6.3' display and it's battery life lasts 93 hours despite the fact that it has an LCD display. V40 has a minimal larger display and a slightly smaller battery. Why did LG did such a poor battery optimization on his flagship considering that V40 only lasts 64 hours..almost 30 hours less than Realme U1?

AlexP

And I still think that HTC u12 plus one of the best Android phone in 2018(except LCD display). Just because of the screen problem (I mean it's not enough brightness for me when I work outside with the phone)and battery life I got OP 6t.

AlexP

HTC u12 plus has 3500 battery and still loose charge fast. And it has 64hr the same as v40. So believe or not it could be true. I do have u12 plus and OP 6t. It's the big difference in battery life.

SugaTWDragon

This is actually an LG I would go for if I were to buy another Android phone. Even though I haven't used any LG devices for a long time. Their TVs are good to a point the same rate as the Samsung TVs. And, the triple camera layout may not be that useful but it's a nice feature. It's a nice feature compare to the Pixel 3 XL and the dual front cameras is also nice. I still haven't got over the notch for new phones but it's the new trend, so I'll have to endure this. The battery is meh as because it's as big as the Note 8 from Samsung. Oh well

adilov

But when we find a huawei mate 20 pro with a better battery and more innovation and a 20 gram thinner, I do not think it is a weight problem.

gt

LG have to release a pro version with double endurance time

mike

The more battery capacity means a heavier model

adilov

LG has recently made good phones but I do not know what their problem with the battery, especially its size and duration of use in phones, the fact that whenever I like one of their phones I find this unfortunate for me.

adilov

What is the problem of Imad With the capacity and duration of battery use, it makes the latest high quality phones but the battery is the problem for me.

need to upgrade battery mah tats all lg

Qwertzuiop

I can agree with you that LG for example G6+ has better colours on pictures than s8, note8 and p20 pro and better zoom than p20 pro. Youtubers fake alot of examples. Everyone try alone this phones. And I love my camera over V30 and G7 too. G6's has better colours and wide angle camera.

ThinQ

Guys thinQ atleast once before you buy this phone .phone is good if you can plug with the charger all the time.because battery dies in three hour of screen time.

TINQ

I wanted to truly get this phone... everything is top about this phone... I really like lg because they make very very dependable phones... but in this phone I was expecting something which is the LONGER BATTERY LIFE... I guess I will stick to my LGV20 for now... Their battery is not too good, but I guess I will have to wait until the next V series phone... and if not then I will have to switch to the NOTE 9

LG fixed my two V10's that my kids used. I gave them another chance because of that. Plus 3 49" 4k tv's to help me switch carriers didn't hurt :D

Kenzie

Dont ever worry about lg batteries. Even with the lg g5 2800mah, it still got more juice than the s8. Lg use better batteries than the rest of the competition thats why with 3300mah battery, it still has endurance than the likes with even 4,000mah

Mallik

It better to think twice while buying brand phones. No updates, no security patches, high pricing, and very less buy back. Especially talking about LG phones, My G5 struck with Nougat and my security patch more than one year old. Resale value is not more than 3K. Never buy again LG phones.

LG is going backwards. Not an error.

Benboy

I'm surprised to see that listed in the specifications it only has 2.0, Type-C not 3.1, Type-C 1.0 ? Is this an error or are lg going backwards....

Sleepless in SA.

Well, going from a Moto Z Play Droid to the V40, I'm sure that I'll be happy enough. The Droid does have a bigger battery, but my USB-C port crapped out a little over a year after I got it. So, I bought the wireless charging Moto Mod and a Qi pad for home and one for the truck. Sloooow charging going that route, definitely not the Turbocharger that I could just plug in, when I first started with it. Funny how my HTC M8 did the same thing, so I had to make a claim, got a new one, and that lasted to the end of my contract with Verizon. In fact, I had to upgrade early to the Moto because I'm apparently too hard on my charging ports?!🙄

Martin

YouTube say 7hour SoT. OnePlus 6T 7:56 and Note 9 8:26! Not bad for LG with 3300mAh and QHD+.

RoccoSr

about battery sucks and this is one area that all manufacturers need to improve on with all these powerful guts and this little phone at least a 5-6 amp battery

RoccoSr

The LG v40 is an awesome phone! one thing I don't see listed in the specifications is a selfie camera but in all reality it does and I forget what it's called it's the third icon button on the camera mode and it takes you into a selfie mode but it's not listed in the specs

Buy the v40, at least you've got a masterpiece.

Check out the speed performance vs the iphone on youtube Battery on my LGg6 lasts longer than the samsung s8. The v30 also got very impressive battery life reviews and should last longer than Oneplus 6. Not sure about the V40 battery SOT but I am postive it will not be that bad. Only thing preventing me from buying the V40 is the price. I do not want to spend to spend 800usd on any smartphone that will be outdated within a year.

The V40 has triple slot. You can use 2 sims and another 128gb memory card. So for your recordings you save directly to memory card and transfer much easier to your home computer or storage system.

Note7 corpse.. Exploded battery fiasco. I think that you mean lol

Note7 owner

I have a note 7, there’s no reason to be jealous of anything.

hermis2018

For a device that it's main focus is media, LG fucked up by making it with a meager 64gb of storage. I use my V30+ and frequently record audio that uses up 1gb of storage. For what I can gather they didn't even build a higher cap version like they did with the V30, in which a limited version 256gb was built. That is the main reason why I skipped it, and instead chose the V30+.

Aspros

Compared to Oneplus6T, it has better sound and better camera, yet pitiful battery which in my case is more important, apple notch with less screen surface, yet width beyond 7.5cm, less ram+storage for double the 6T price. I really fail to understand how they justify double the price? And why ppl pay that...

Ray

Ppl buying other mobiles ..lately you are releasing. Instantly u r loosing ur customers

Why lg is very late to release Lg mobiles in india... Samsung gave s9plus 845sd againg note9 845sd... Lg g7 845sd now v40 again late

I do care because i'm the one buying it. Across many things i found more cons on LG TV (only their OLED are good). Mostly all their mid range TV using a low contrast IPS display & low input lag. All display panel from LG? What a joke. Only Sony OLED panel using LG, but they making a good use of it to make it better. LCD panel for Sony supplied from either Samsung or Sharp. Please educate yourself more.

Please review LG V40 GSM Arena. I want to buy it, but before that, need to know your review on it.

Sony use LG panel yes, but they got their own chipset called X-Reality, X-tended Dynamic Range, Pixel contrast booster, Acoustic surface & many other features than just a basic OLED tv. LG OLED tv are great, but their mid range & lower end TV are pathetic with a lot of issues & very low contrast ratio compare to Sony & Samsung TV. Dont talk to me about electronic things, everytime i wanna buy, I check and reviewed throughly before buying it. I know what i'm talking about.

Really? Ask any user experience using Mate 9, Mate 10 & Mate 20 pro in real life. The battery life of it triumph and its one of the reason people buy it. AI will learn your usage pattern & after a week, it will perform brilliantly. Easily 2-3 days life. Samsung Galaxy S8 score 84h in lab test, but in real life usage? Doesnt even last a day. If u dont experience things like i do about EMUI & many other branded phones out there, educate yourself. Huawei is no. 2 brand in the world, in front of Apple. Where is LG located? I know, if its in a pie chart, it belongs to 'others'.

Babi

Is it dual Sim with micro SD...??

No lh. Mate20 is crap worst phone with big battery but worst battery life admit that. Useless 4200mah. Even V30 wipeout all huawei phone V40 far more better than crap mate20 pro

Shui8

Agree. Battery life on Huawei flagship phones were really good in real life. The main weakness of LG are availability & updates. When it lacks availability, lacks of service support automatic comes in mind.

Shui8

Pathetic. Mate 20 pro excels better in many department compare to LG V40. Battery life? Please use Huawei phone first then talk. In lab test, it perform average, but on real life, its incredible. LG? Good luck with updates.

I used LG phones three times. The last one was G4 which was a perfect phone with a perfect camera except the battery life. LG bateries are terrible. Did not last a day especially after 6 months. Now I have been using Huawei Mate 9 for the last two years. Both its battery and camera are good (although the camera is not as good as LG G4).

Dude , you’re absolutely right about your opinion on the phone manufacturers They all do the same thing over and over again , it in a different package Its a way to keep the money flow , any corporation on any industry does just that or they will run out of that thing called money flow Sure as hell the tech companies do it at a faster speed , and on top of that the have the ability to make your last year model die prematurely , so that you go back and just replace it , with the new , faster , bigger , prettier and with about 126 cameras on the back alone You got the picture

Ive used g2-g6 n now v30. V30 by far the best lg phone except the front camera!!! V40 no doubt one of the best. But dam! Can they make the size any bigger? 158mm long as to 151mm on v30. Too big n long to fit in pocket! Same with note 8 n 9.

I'm not like most idiots normally here commenting "LG sucks" but never even bought one !?!? Don't be a mindless person. Think about what LG and those others are doing in regards to Bull Manure products. They're selling the same old thing to you in every "new" product they release. It's just more of the same.

I own Lg V30 which I bought 100% for the battery and wide angle camera. The display I expected to be good, but I was surprise to compare it with my colleagues with S9+ , S8 , Note 8 and Xs and to see V30 BETTER. NOT YOUTUBE COMPARES . LIVE COMPARES It was a surprise to me, and especially my colleagues !!! Only Note 9 is same level of quality !! I repeat, I was surprised as I don't even care about that Now I just preordered Mate 20 Pro - 100% for the battery and Wide angle camera. So I'm not an Lg fan or any other company fan . I'm a fan of my money - to get the best for my money SO , DON'T EVER TRUST YOUTUBE'S REVIEWS. TEST IT YORSELF . YouTube-ers are all about 💰💰💰 It's an enormous industry , with enormous 💰💰💰 - as they sell one piece of device more expensive than an entire PC. Samsung Huawei, and especcialy Apple have ENORMOUS MARKETING BUDGETS to pay YouTube-ers ...

Which has better indoor camera quality, lg v40 or oneplus 6??

FeederEater

You literally cannot compare the two. I do agree that 900$ is too much for a phone, but then again you cant put your TV in a pocket and call, text, take photos, etc. (phones are made to literally replace basic PC functions and be portable). Both have an entirely different purpose. And just so you dont get the wrong idea, OLED is a lot more expensive than LCD, if you want a phone with an LCD display you will pay less, if you want one with OLED you will pay more (just because those panels are smaller doesnt mean they are cheaper, after all, you need to fit everything in that small body). You want an OLED LG TV? Well, you need to pay min 1700$. You want an IPS? You can get same TV with all same functions (Smart, 4K, etc.) for less than 700$ (and LG has best both LCD and OLED TVs). There is a difference so please consider it.

Martin

I wait on LG V40 review and battery life and sunlight test. On YT test display is better than iCrap XS Max.

BLS NE

Flagship phones can't get away with barely adequate batteries any longer. If you want a premium price you need a premium battery. Otherwise midrange is the way to go.

AtomStar

Can't wrap my mind around or convince myself to spend $900 on something that weighs less than half a pound (lbs) and the size of an oversized candy bar. A 2K LED television ($900) is thirty times larger uses way more material like glass, metal, wires, sensors and all other things and last longer than most flagship phones built 5 years ago. $900 !?!? UNBELIEVABLE LG ?!?? Shove any smartphone that's worth more than $300 and last only two years up your $#@!?

PapaRafe

How can LG be so stup!d over and over regarding selfie camera. Making wide angle second selfie camera is good move, but only 5MP (AGAIN) kills it! They made previous mistake with 5MP V30 selfie camera. I expected V40 as flagship have a selfie like Pixel 3! Not brutal 5MP again in 2018! LG really needs to fire there smartphone departement.

Is not overpriced...the promises of apple is not fullfiled, does not have fm radio (promised by steve jobs), most of the same android programs in apple are paid (if you do not try denon hd audio where eq is free on android and apple is worth 3.49 euros), so carrying what this lg takes, I will change it when it comes out, I have a v30 and I am delighted of life, and that if I change it ... more than anything for the screen that looks good measuring 6.45

microknife

Can't wait for the review - would like to know how the screen and battery life are this time around. I have a V30 and if this phone is doing well I will consider a V50 when it is time to upgrade. Can't get enough of that headphone jack & MQA compatibility!

LG has big big problem with thier phones , It's battery efficiency.

Pozzie

Please let us know which phone you use that has a much larger battery capacity. 3300mAH is 10% more than the Galaxy 9S and the same as Sony ZX3 and OnePlus 6. The fingerprint placement is better than having it on the front, try taking your phone from your pocket and unlocking one-handed.

Why so shocked? 3300mAH is 10% more than the Galaxy S9, same as Sony XZ3 and OnePlus 6.

Numbers don't tell the whole story. The battery seems to be good enough and the phone performs above average concerning the battery.

Underrated phone my ass. Xperia XZ3 is the most underrated phone of 2018. Don't get me wrong, this is a really good phone, but it's not underrated.

Sliderpro

Definitely more interesting than Sony XZ3 in everywhere. I just find stupid that they make 3 cameras.. while they could just make at least 1.3-1.5x on main sensor, which is very possible. And again..why make 2 frontal cameras with NEARLY identical FOV? I can understand like 20-30 degrees difference, but here it doesnt justify itself. Again, you can make a 1.3x on frontal if you really need it... and not make a 4gb ram version at all xD

XFlamingFoxX

Here you go. It even has a Hi-Fi audio remaster. :)

keed

maybe also try and look at meizu m6 note whatever you want is an outdated phone, like 2017, since everything now has a notch, or a sony phone

xperia xa2 is the closest i can think of, IPS display and average battery

androfox

Whatever I think about this phone, it's the same old you find everywhere.But rather than criticizing the same old: I would spend alot of money on a 5" bezelless screen (no notch), 3,5mm jack, 4500mAh, 1080p OLED Screen, Dual or even single Cam, !no! front cam, !no! stereo speakers, ~SD 710 - and hell, that's not flagship-like 2018...but everything I would love. Why is there no small sized midrange phone with decent design and decent specs anymore? Everything nice is 6"+ with 845, 3000-4000mAh only, no heaphone jack and 800€+, I don't know anyone except myself buying such stupid phones...and I only do because the nex and mix look fantastic compared to anything else.

Awesome phone. Well worthy heir to the great V-series and a worthy challenger to the excellent Note9. ThanQ, LG! Only downside would be the notch. At least it is one of the less intrusive ones. 3.5 mm headphone jack. microSD card slot. FM Radio too. IP68 ingress protection and MIL-STD-810G compliant. Great 6.4 inch QHD+ OLED display. Great design (low-bezel front and arrangement of triple cam in the back). Dual Pixel Autofocus, 1.4 um pixel size and F1.5 aperture main camera. Superb and useful triple camera combination of extra wide angle and telephoto. Boombox speaker (could have been stereo though). Hopefully the battery life is similar to that of the great LG V30 and it's 3300 mAh battery.

3300 mAh in a 6.4" and Snapdragon 845 Phone? I bet this will have GREAT Battery life (sarcasm)

Himanshu Sharma

V40 is good, no doubt. A dual SIM with dedicated microSD (3 slots), IR, 4000 mAh battery is what would complete it as worthy successor to my V20. I'm always connected 4G/WiFi, no gaming, corporate emails, couple of IMs, no Facebook, checking news few times a day, a bit of music and moderate calls daily. I use V20 camera most of the times for family pics in difficult situations (indoor, mall, backlit outdoor) other than dedicated events when I carry my DSLR. My V20 does all this for me, but the battery is pathetic. I've Hyperion 6400 mAh extended battery to go through the day. Have another 5000 mAh slip in doc kind. These stay in my backpack without any inconvenience most of the times. I'll give it a miss without 3 slots, IR and good battery. These are a must to upgrade. I'm not after free OS updates as such, apps never really catch up without issues and iterations, so stability is the key for me and must be for anybody, but security updates are a must.

Unfortunately I don't like the image quality of the main camera. Despite good hardware, software seems not so good. Or it focuses bad. V30 images are better. Strangely I find the wide angle swell as the telephoto image, both to be sharper and better than the main camera.

Despite the notch, this phone looks so great in the blue color, what a beauty! LG also has a good battery endurance despite only packing a 3300mah battery in this phone, good job LG.

Endurance ratings and real battery life are two different animals. Lg are known for poor battery life and the trend continues. I have had them all the g series untill the g6 and v series untill the v30. They all shared common problem POOR BATTERY LIFE.

BLS NE

$949 for a 3300 mAh battery? Device makers aren't getting it. If you want to command very large prices with an Android phone it better have a killer battery, 4000 mAh minimum. I won't consider a phone with a smaller battery than that, no matter how "optimized" it is.

Jplazas

Phone with excellent specifications but has two important defects: The barely 3300 mA battery? The memory of only 6/64? It does not specify if it brings the bands LTE 4, 7 and 38 for Latin America. I will look for other brands that meet these basic requirements.

Kox LG V30

It is a basic model with the smallest specifications, it will be a model with a more RAM and storage available.

Kox LG V30

Stop posting stupid things, first try or read from others who tested it, the same Chinese phone that has 4000mh is weaker than the battery that V30 has the same 3300 battery On GSM arena p20 pro with 4000 scores Endurance rating 89h LG V30 Endurance rating 93h... LG V40 have more efficient chipset and a screen, so there will be better endurance than the V30, and the V30 was among the top phones in terms of battery power. Be realistic once and let LG be better than others apple has very good battery Endurance rating 79h

Ring Tone

Looks excellent but really a lost opportunity again.... The phone would sell like hot cakes if the screen was 6.6 to 6.8" and this would also allow a bigger 4000 to 4400 mAh battery. The LG mobile division will die if they don't stop copying Samsung and really produce something unique....When I bought the LG G3 they were pioneers....shame

LG always brings some good Phones but always goes down underrated... They need to work on the Battery Capacity... LG G2 was the best selling Phone for them because it had everything at that time...

The V30 has 3,300mah battery and battery life is great, It's note ALL about the miliamps, an efficient phone will last a long time with this battery just, like the V30 does. Wait for the endurance tests before jumping into conclusions.

Integrazimmy

It's not just the battery size, it's the optimization! LG is pretty good at that. Would I also like a bigger battery??? Of course! But if you know anything about last year's LGV30, You would know that it beat almost every other smartphone with bigger battery packs. This year with the efficient SD845 as well as Android Pie's Adaptive Battery features, it should reach if not beat the current champion Galaxy Note 9! The only thing more exciting than the V40 will be the V50, which, due to a smaller architecture (10nm SD835 vs 7nm SD855) should give 50% better battery life over the v30.

Time it takes to need to charge the battery > Charging quickly There will ALWAYS be a nice downtime for an hour so you can charge your phone from 20% to 80%. I'd rather have a battery that goes the ENTIRE day on heavy usage without needing to charge it than charging the battery 'faster'. It's like wanting QuickCharge vs a removable battery.

How is 6GB of RAM a bad decision? Sure, 8GB is more, but then their price would at the stupid level that Apple and Samsung are asking. You look at how many users would actually push a phone to USE 6GB of RAM (1% or less) and you find a very SMALL group. Not enough to justify the added expense when 6GB of RAM will suffice for 99% of the average user base who would buy this phone. Is it a flagship? Yes. Just because it doesn't meet your definition of "flagship" doesn't mean it won't be a good phone, and sell decent quantities.

CharlieMH

I've had a V20 for almost 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. The V40 looks pretty good, but it NEEDS a bigger battery. If it was removable, there would be an option for 3rd party battery extending cases which I use on my V20 , and I LOVE IT. I haven't worried about how much battery I have left in so long. Either way, 3300mAH won't cut it, especially with 8gb ram and a dislpay that big

Why are they still using small sensors for their phones, atleast use bigger sensors for better pictures.

I absolutely agree with this. If we can get at MINIMUM 3,800 mah with stereo speakers with the reset of the specs from the V35, I would be super happy with it. Luckily, these are only preliminary specs so we shall await the final specs in the future.

If you actually look closer you will see that the "bezel" on top is actually the notch's line where the notch is and the display is turned black there. It has a smaller top bezel on top than the v30/35. Your opinion is great btw, keep it up.

Absolutely vital to have a bigger capacity battery, 4000mAh. My existing LG phone dies with its 3000mAh. Must have external storage, so I can protect photos and must have a decent battery. I fear that 3300mAh will not be enough.

LG is capable of being the best, but it really is a 'face palm' when you see them fit a sealed 3300 mAh battery to power a 6.5" P-OLED screen, it should be at least 4,000 mAh. I hope these 'Unofficially preliminary specifications' are wrong for LG's sake'. One of my criteria is a 100h GSMA battery life rating, all flagship phones should be achieving this. If the battery was user replaceable then it wouldn't matter so much.

I love the fact that they might give us a 6.5" screen, just need that battery to be larger. 8gb ram would be nice also!

2 things that messed up this wanna be a beast phone 1) the notch 2) battery is too small come on lg you gotta be serious than that...

None of those specs are confirmed. Its just speculation

Not official specifications

No 4k 60 fps, battery only 3300mah with screen 6.5 inch, if this specs will be true not cool, not cool at all.

This may have some serious specs, a triple camera may be a good idea, but the screen if it is really 6.5 inches, and the battery only 3300 mAh, I will surely skip this one(it will be simply too large, and that size of battery is no enough). Anyway LG should consider to make drop resistant phones again!

What on earth is that notch!?
