LG V50 ThinQ 5G - User Reviews

  • No, we can create our avatar and face emoji

  • Why no GSMA review?

  • This phone rocks.been using it since Aug 2019.nvr regretted buying

  • LG phone is the best. better than other branded android phones.

  • All most perfect phone❤...960fps video would be great and one wide angle high mp front camera that can crop in without much quality loss would be enough...so the notch could just that camera like G8X.

  • Dang... I thought LG phones were pretty bad, but they're pretty good in specs. It's easy to find it cheap too. I just wish they put in more RAM

  • you have not read anything about the phone,sir.check again.

  • No 60fps option or 30fps option just 16:9 1080×1920

  • so you can record 60fps from your selfie camera?

  • About my V50 basic info: -Notification light and charging light is at the back same as the 5G notification light.. -No face avatar.. -front camera video 1080p only.. -always put a case to protect the camera.. -not on screen fingerprint. +clearest and brightest using the wide angle shots higest aperture in any phone f1.9 aperture.. +super loud clear and crisp firing speakers by using DTS :X 3D side to side option and by using headset is powerful for music lovers out there like me ever..

  • It is Full HD 16:9 19×1080

  • is it really 60 FPS for its selfie camera?

  • yes it is available in spain but i don't know it has fm or no

  • That was Global version, not sure if available, Yes it ha FM radio.

  • Please can somebody say is it LG V50 Thinq LM-V500EM version for Europe? Is it available in Spain, does it have FM radio and which price is for it?

  • Ok goodluck..

  • Ok thank you

  • Both phones are sharp in photography i think its better if you buy you have to try first both phones and compare them before choosing what to buy.. Coz in my experience i tried it both and i choose the v50 in my opinion i like the color accuracy of the v50 than the s10plus but if you are samsung user you better buy the note10 than the s10plus..

  • In standby time 2days ago i fully charge my v50 i use it only for text and phone call and i got 86% battery today that was 2days ago..

  • It's not as good as the p30 pro that's the best camera atm

  • ...ok?

  • Then camera of v50 is better than s10 plus I went buy v50 some review websites they camera is not better than s10 plus

  • How many hours screen on time

  • The battery life of my v50 is fine i'm not that heavy user not a gamer i only use the v50 in a daylight watching movies youtube surfing text and call listening to music it can last 36-40hours i'm not using it in the night.. I use it fully charge in the start of the day then in the evening still got 55% or sometimes 60% battery remains..

  • We compared camera color accuracy inside the gadget store indoor shots the s10plus and the v50 and as a result v50's camera is closer to accuracy in reality specially our skin color and the green color is closer to reality and the wide angle shot the v50 is brighter indoor shot than the s10plus sorry for my english i'm not fluent i'm asian..

  • Can u tell me about its battery life camera Is lg v50 thinq camera and batery life is better than s10 plus

  • See this:

  • 5g technology allows phonemakers or providers to use API for e-sim, as a second sim card, not need for a fisical one

  • +Sharp shooter camera most accurate camera in terms of color on any phone i guess.. +Super highspeed performance.. -Audio output quality is loud but not that crisp lack of clarity compare to my samsung s9plus the best audio output quality out there i guess .. +The display is awesome especially watching videos movies etc.. -The icon graphics is fine hope LG would change for better icons.. +Battery is awesome..

  • It is highly anticipated to see your review on that phone. Go ahead, GSM Arena and provide us with review please. Outstanding characteristics of audio of that LG deserves detailed review.

  • the only smartphone with hd audio recording .keep going LG v50

  • why didn't you test this phone yet? is something wrong or what?

  • Where is review on LG V50 and G8s? , pls test this phones!

  • LG the great. LG V series and G series phones are very good. good build quality, very good components, military standared checked, original android stock, IP 68, durability,reliaibility. thanks LG. keep going on .best wishes. ( if anybody have doubt check in youtube LG phones testing ).

  • google phones using qualcomm's snapdragon chipset only. THINK. ( qualcomm's snapdragon chipset is the best).

  • why lg v50 not giving 2 sim plus memory card options...???

  • it is

  • When will the LG v50 thinq 5g be out

  • LG giving very good Chipset- Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855 (7 nm) CPU Octa-core (1x2.84 GHz Kryo 485 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 485 & 4x1.79 GHz Kryo 485) GPU Adreno 640. (build quality,very good components,military standard checked ).

  • I am interested in the dual sim version and if it still has a dedicated microSD slot instead of using sim2 slot but I could not find any details on the dual sim version of this phone.

  • Online reviews are looking pretty mixed so far. GSMArena, are you going to review this phone anytime soon? It's already out...well...maybe for the US. Guess you're waiting on the European release of the phone.

  • In camera?

  • How about lg v50 thinq is it better than iphone xs max ,note 9 lg g8,google pixel 3 xl

  • It's because of 5G the price is that high buddy. I'm with you coming from a user of the LG V20 (last LG phone with IR blaster and removable battery). At least it's cheaper than the Galaxy S10 5G version; it just has a worse battery and RAM than the Galaxy but at least it has better facial recognition and microSD card slot.

  • Such a nice phone but lack of IR Blaster and removable battery. I need removable battery because I plan on using a phone until it really really dies. For entertainment consumption purpose, it is a need. Cameras are also not as great as the ones found in P30 Pro. There is also no S-pen. Therefore the price shouldn't be at $999. It should be at around $650 or equivalent to the Samsung Galaxy S10e price.

  • Hi. Does it have Face 3D unlock? Anyone know?

  • I am going to buy lg V50 Thinq but i have a doubt in its battery life which is a main thing for me in buying a phone. Lg g8 has 3500 mah battery capacity,6.2 display size,normal heat pipe and lg v50 has 4000 mah battery,advanced cooling chamber,6.4 display size the difference is only 0.2 display size but most of the reviewers saying battery life little bit improved from g8 and some saying v50 thinq battery life is lesser than g8 Why?they are saying like that? If anyone owes this phone pls help me In my point of view it's battery life should be excellent

  • Yes. Have fm radio

  • IMO, Price group is break deal...!!!

  • Yea, that was really uniqe feature, i only found one clip on entire yt where is showed that feature:

  • KSE Said: I see these everyday say 100 commuters in downtown line. 79 of them looking at their phones tabbing away some with earphones headset on. 20 sleeping snoring all the way till their destinations 1 person reading book. REPLY: This seems highly inaccurate, not to mention confusing as to your point. As far as danger goes, the 79% texting are the least of anyone's worries. Apparently, at least 20% of people are driving while completely unconscious. Most frighteningly of all, at least 1% of people (and these are apparently the one's you're rooting for), are driving through heavy traffic with their attention glued to a book. A BOOK! While driving in rush-hour traffic! These are the good guys? Are you mad?

  • Does it have fm radio? Gsm earlier put that it have, now like it doesn't have, every lg had that, if this one doesn't have, im done with lg, they were the best in those little, but important things, shame they removed ir blaster, but cant without fm radio(they even invented earlier phone lg stylus dab+, first and only one for now phone with DAB+ radio tech, and even that one phone had fm and dab+ at same time)

  • Does the V50 have a camera button on the back like the G4 has?

  • dose it have IR blaster

  • dose it have IR blaster

  • will this coming to canada/ i like it

  • Stop spitting out nonsense.Nobody does removable batteries except those chinese companies that sell smartphones for 40 $.

  • True that, but underrated. All attention in Android world goes to mostly Samsung and Huawei. Other brands are for most people and retailers non-existent.

  • Not bad phone but the non-removable battery is no good to me. I will rather keep my LG V20 aha!

  • If there anyone who bought lg v50 thinq? I am want to buy this phone Can we record 4k video in 60 fps? How many minutes can we record in 4k? How its battery life

  • Non removable batteries are inevitable

  • It's 2019. If u want, stay at your v20 forever.

  • Are you sure that doesn't have fm radio?

  • LG V Series and G Series Phones are very good.

  • lg v40,g8 and v50 cameras are same or different

  • - 3 Camera rear on lg v50: s5k3m5 (12mp), imx 363 (12mp), imx 351 (16mp). - 2 camera front : sl556 ( hynix 5mp); sl846 ( hynix 8mp)

  • v50 use pin li-ion not li-po ?

  • still lg g2 :d

  • I was using it too, until about a year ago, and i was satisfied with it. sadly not as much as I am with the 2017 k10, dont like it a simgle bit

  • We will never forget what happen on the lg g4. Such a total crap!

  • The world is never enough for all. We should be mindful not to pollute the environment with toxic e waste. I am still using LG G4 Beat. 1.5 Ram. 8GB Rom. Call sms whatsapp. apps like carousell, not much games. I am still very happy. Playing too much games not good watching too much video not good as well. Read more books good for us. I see these everyday say 100 commuters in downtown line. 79 of them looking at their phones tabbing away some with earphones headset on. 20 sleeping snoring all the way till their destinations 1 person reading book. I am like the junk brothers. Come take a look at my listings in carousell. Ghee8732

  • By designing a phone with a replaceable battery , it is almost a anti business move In another words , it would increase the battery sells , but would cut deep into new phones , where the margin is way above

  • IP68 is a great feature.  FAST Wireless Charging is a great feature.  I'm happy that smartphones have such features.  I ask :  Is anyone smart and intelligent enough in today's world to integrate User Replaceable Batteries with said features ?  Are there any devices in existence that have or have come close to achieving this ?  Are there toothbrushes that have this ?  Are there underwater cameras (video/point-n-shoot) that have this ?  Are there cordless power tools that have this (lawnmowers even) ?  Are there flashlights that have this ?  Are there water RC toys that have this ?  Are there power banks that have this ?  Are there watches and e-Bikes... C'mon.  If we stop and work together, I think (just a guess) ...all things are possible.  That includes an IP68/Wireless Charging/User Replaceable Smartphone.  But remember, the goal isn't that smartphone, it's working together.

  • How is 6gb of ram too little? Even most modern desktop computers have 8gb and do well. A phone doesn't need more than 4-6gb.

  • Agree, unfortunately nowadays phone makers are more focused on eliminating bezels and making pop up cameras and stuff like that.

  • I am still using LG V20. The removable battery is so liberating; no worries about battery life with a spare small enuough to carry around. Phone makers should relook into this - I can do without the water resistance for the removable battery.

  • LG V20 Released 2016. LG V50 Released 2019. Now new technology. LG is the best phone. ( MIL-STD-810G compliant).

  • I like everything that I am reading about the new LG V50 except the inability to replace the battery. I purchased an LG V20 several years ago specifically because it had a replaceable battery. When the battery in the V20 failed, as all batteries do, I was able to purchase replacement batteries and extend the life of the phone. At present, I have no intentions of obtaining a phone that does not have a replaceable battery. As such, the V50 is NOT the phone for me.

  • To be honest, I don't blame you at all. I have an LG V20 (the last flagship with a removable battery). Still snappy, still smooth with Nova Launcher Prime, and the camera quality (as long as you download GCam) is pretty good. It's just that OEMs just want you to get a new phone every year now. I'd love a new OEM to give us vanilla Android, perfect hardware, removable battery, and decent enough updates. Guarantee you, that brand would steal LG, Sony, and OnePlus fans in a heartbeat.

  • oneplus,vivo,realme, oppo,meizu ( some other brand also ) manufacturing in same company.

  • And you do the same things on other phones

  • LG is the best phone in the world.

  • What's happening with the LG V50 ThinQ? It was supposed to be available since May 10th, but nothing yet until now!

  • True..

  • Photo quality is not measured by the number of megapixels. Chinese phones can have a 100 megapixel camera,. and image quality at the 8 or 12 megapixel camera level

  • Always have mediocre cameras! 8mp front? Come on lg! Quit cutting costs!

  • stop trolling here !! lg has better ram optimization than samsung

  • They are mind ??? Only 6GB of RAM?? Why i like features in this smartfone like second screen , i like lg but 6 gb ? sry it to small in 2019. If they don;t realase better version i sould buy samsung :(

  • IR Blaster... I use it everyday... New electronics still have infrared... Why is it gone other than people don't know what it is...

  • lg haters trolling here !!!!!!!!!

  • The desire to have user replaceable batteries, headphone ports (separate from charging port), expandable storage and screens with no obstruction whatsoever will always be around and never go extinct.  The same goes for affordable prices.  If you want consumers to embrace notches and holepunches... start putting them on TV screens and movie theater screens first.  If you want headphone ports to disappear... stop the manufacturing of wired headphones first.  If you want expandable storage to be "obsolete" ...start making affordable smartphones with Terabyte capacities and test to see how consumers react.  Change is inevitable.  The issue is who benefits from said change and more importantly, who loses.  It seems ridiculous to conceive such notions, doesn't it ?  I went crazy and insane when user replaceable batteries were no longer available in flagship tier smartphones.  I kept wanting and looking month after month, year after year and the "results" have not changed.  I still can't find a flagship tier smartphone with user replaceable batteries. So go ahead and 'Tech Smack' me with your replies... if you do, you prove you're just as crazy as me.

  • Notch alert. Brands are going for a total bezel-less design, or going for either a waterdrop notch or a cutout notch. LG, like HTC are always behind and are always losing market because they don't follow the trend. Much like Sony now. Look how big of an impact oneplus phones have nowadays.

  • poor LG 4 years ago they almost have leadership. Now look at them, whata disappointment poor LG. I miss that awesome LG G4 it was great.

  • I have the V40 and I really like it, also had the V20. When this comes out I plan to get my wife the V40 at big price reduction. We will use them till they are old and then by the V50 at a discount. We always buy one generation back flagship for a lower price. I prefer that over the newest mid grade phone.

  • I got one LG in the past (before 2010) and someday thr display just stopped to work...then I swore that i will never buy a LG phone again. Of course, this was another time and this kind of issue is very rare nowadays. From the specs, this phone looks really great. The hardware for the camera is promising but I have doubts about the software and the AI. Battery has always been a problem for LG phones but this one gets apparently a bigger battery size... Let's see when it is on the market.

  • I'll buy this phone in 2020 when it's around $400. Happy with my V35.

  • Riddle : If a smartphone that has a sealed/non user replaceable lithium battery with an IP68 rating can be charged both via wire and wirelessly... why can't that technology be applied to just the battery itself ? Create a battery with a Qi coil and make the battery waterproof as well as making the smartphone (with battery removed) IP68 rated. Is that technological advancement ? ? Whadduya ThinQ LG ?

  • very salty price... :((

  • Not the best 5g phone, but one of the most underrated

  • Blitz all the way over there? It looks lonely...

  • Yesterday's camera but still time to put a better one

  • Only black colour?

  • And triple cams at the back,dual selfie cameras plus the rear finger print scanner. -,-

  • I wait on this reviews on battery life.

  • Dearest the best seekers . This is the most advanced LG smartphone and one of highest ends in (2019)with IR .Adding the infrared makes it before its release the most completely made smartphone of the years.With regard to gsmArena disclaimer and specifications.Hopefully gsmArena review open more knowledge gates to its design and performance...,Also congratulations to LG for leaving older making of smart devices....But a question here is the price of 950 EU about $ 1500 US money that in X place becomes $6000 which only rich VIP can afford it !!!Here congratulations to them too for having the best in 5 G era !Hopefully my opinion will be released for the Justice Rights , because my previous fact writing comments about LG never published !!!?Thanks gsmArena as a neutral site of judgments.,.

  • My experience with the V20 after two years said that he is the most complete but underrated phone. Only lack the updates at the correct time.

  • Hope the 4000mah on this thing means it can rival the LG V30 for battery life.

  • Hey, for Power Users, just buy extra batteries, I use my V20 extensively and it beats the hell out of being connected. I have 4 batteries for mine and its so convenient and will likely need 2 batts more just in case. Or we can all get those aftermarket branded extra cap cases ranging around 5-10k mah. Whether the phone will get hot, remains to be seen. Some cells have issues like that. Removable Batteries..are the shit, wish they'd turn back to that trend.

  • Now this is worthy successor of my V20 that is serving me well since 2016, of course on the aftermarket extended battery. Only if they introduce the IR blaster, it would be icing on the cake. In either case, LG has a customer ready to upgrade.

  • What is if I tell you hardware wise the specifications for the V40 camera was same as the S9+ except the ultrawide camera and now the V50 has them same as the S10 Also S9+ same as S10 and V40 same as V50 even the G8 is same. So in a nutshell the S9+, S10, G8, V40 and V50 camera hardware is similar but the Samsung S series have better image quality than the V40 and G8 due to the better image processing now is LG improves the processing for the V50 it can be better than the V40 and could reach the S10 level too.

  • Just wait for a couple of months till v50 5g release.

  • which is better , v50 or G8 thinq ?

  • It's not released yet

  • Apple notch with a chin, the worst design option there is...

  • Guys any idea how to purchase this unit from korea to uae? anybody knows what online shops?

  • You might want to look into the ZTE Axon 10 Pro. That covers your bases. I'm still waiting for that battery review and the LG V50's.

  • Yes, the weakness of most LG phones are usually battery life, except V30. LG phones will be much better with Software Optimization and Larger Batteries. Actually LG can fix these.

  • This is why lg fails. Mediocre camera n battery. 12mp for rear n 8 mp front cam? Come u stupid lg. At least 20 mp and 16 mp front cam. Increase battery. It has to catch consumers attention. V30 was almost perfect phone except the stupid 5mp front cam.

  • I think the battery is irrelevant unless you are power user. It depends on the way you use the handset and the optimisation of the chipset, operating system and how much draw apps from the battery. So if you use Instagram and tons of background apps of course the battery won't last a day.

  • Wait until g8 and v50 get reviews for battery and go for lg Except battery everything is excellent I think this time lg battery life is improved

  • I agree with almost all your opinions, but, HTC is not irrelevant. Sadly it's also not an obvious buy... I have the u11 for two years now, never reset to factory, no root just using it. It's the best phone I ever had. Battery last enough for my needs, which is 1 day, i have a car that I drive to work, so I got a charger all the time. I always compare with other phones, especially I enjoy taking a Galaxy s9 or s9+, or lg G6/7 and show the owner how shitty they perform lag wise. On the U11 there is never any lag. Ever. Yes, it has bezels, the battery is far from amazing, it has just 1 camera on the back, no wireless charging, not ip68, but for me it has the selling features I need. FAST, Lag free, awesome camera, great touch responsive display, it's not very large and not very heavy which is great. I really want to buy a new phone, for months now, because i broke the back glass, and battery is now not very good, USB port is getting quirky, and I just want a newer phone. I would get the u12+ in a moment, but they are saying the screen is even less bright then u11. I live in the middle East, i need a bright screen. Now I am looking for a solution... I am afraid of Samsung and LG phones, root issues, region lock, lag after just a few months of usage. With Samsung they said (users, reviewers etc...) That lags are history, but after 4-5 months, I see it just works like crap. I even played with s9+ and did not enjoy the touch experience, it was not very smooth and not responsive. I also dislike those curved edges on Galaxy phones. Oneplus is ruled out on behalf of camera, xiaomi no thanks, Huawei I also don't really like. I would get a pixel 3 if it didn't have 4g ram.... So i am here looking at v50 and g8 thinq, but i am not confident about the performance i will get. I had g2 g3 and g4, g2 was awesome, but yellow stripes on screen and touch issues, g3 dead motherboard, g4 dead motherboard (had warranty though) Bleh. Someone please make a perfect phone already.... 6gb+ ram 128gb+ Bright screen 6" or so 3500+ mAh battery 3 camera, normal, tele and wide. All should have ois, auto-focus. Focus peek in photo/video modes, and maybe allow for smooth progressive focus changes in video mode. Ip68, wireless charging Vanilla or close to it UI I don't care about where the fingerprint sensor is, and don't care if there is headphones jack or not, and don't care for IR blaster. I would prefer the screen is just like Nexus 5. Flat, with a little edge, which allowed me to install screen protector in a perfect manner. The only phone on the horizon that might check all my requirements, is Sony Xperia 1

  • nice LG, almost exactly what I want. good job LG. I hope the prices are a bit lower than the S10 family. I'll grab this in no time.

  • Will this be released in UK?

  • In Korea, the price is announced at about $1100 including the dual screen case.

  • incredible, they want to come up with rear fingerprint even in V50 and G8. Thats was the only nonchinese alternative to Samsung.. V30 was so good in its generation. Acceptable brands: Samsung - golden standard, bloated, rootable, always all features Oneplus - easy rootable, some powerful specs but missing core features Xiaomi - spyware and bloated, very good compromise between Samsung and Oneplus, difficult permission to root Unacceptable brands: LG - fingerprint in the back Huawei - spyware, unrootable Vivo, Oppo, Doodgie - who? Irrelevant brands: Sony, Moto, HTC, Nokia

  • Lg v50 and v40 has same cameras in specifications is it true or false Are they any improvement in v50 camera

  • I still find it bizarre that LG goes for this bad QHD resolution. Both UHD and FHD movies look worse on a QHD screen than they do on a FHD screen because it does not match pixel for pixel like FHD/UHD does and dithering/blurring is needed to stretch the video image. There are basically no movies filmed at QHD.

  • The best thing in this phone is dual display so you have two display that is for gaming control see this video to understand more !!! i think it will exceed $1500, so no use to buy it, still samsung is cheaper and better

  • minimal , it is same sensor

  • probably IMX345 but I don't think there's a huge difference

  • Because the 5G module X50 need much more battery.I think it is good way. If need battery life and don't use 5G I can choose LG V50,if you need portability you can choose LG G8.

  • Pixel 3 100% uses IMX363 while 345 is used by S9 (if i remember)... so u name better one.

  • Which is better imx 363 or imx 345

  • 12 MP, 27mm (standard), f/1.5, 1/2.6", 1.4µm, 3-axis OIS, dual pixel PDAF is IMX 363 no IMX 345!

  • stop write nonsene ! lg v50 has sony imx 345 exmor rs sensor, Sony's ExmorRS series with 12 mpx , a sensor size of 1 / 2.55 ", a pixel size of 1.4㎛, and AF supports Dual-PDAF."5

  • I will buy v50 If its camera,battery and speaker is better Still there is no proper camera review for v40

  • No LG V50 same camera IMX 363 on. V40

  • the size of V30 is just perfect. Not too big or small. This phone is on the bigger size. Can't really put in pocket. dam it man. What's up with the extremely big screen phone? next you will be using the tablet or ipad as a phone. Yall consumers are killing me.

  • only way to fix this to flash to custom rom or original firmware. I'm too lazy to do that now. You get new features but the battery always get worst with updates.

  • Me, too. But worried it might not land to Philippines shore. Hoping... I will start saving for this now. I want it!

  • LG V50 - main camera is sony imx345 exmor rs same sensor on samsung s10 and note 9

  • Do we know anything about camera sensors? IMX???

  • S 10+ killer in the announcement

  • i want to know battery performance..

  • Me to man happen to me same thing

  • This is the 5g phone for me. It's got everything. Hope it's released to the UK.

  • dude, v30 is the only phone with the best battery out of all lg phones! reason i'm not upgrading to v40 because of average battery. After i accidentally updated to new firmware on my v30, the battery got worst!!!! I knew not to update to new firmware. They do thsi on purpose so u can buy new phones.

  • Maybe so, but LG achieved to make this 5G phone with the extra radio antennas in more or less the same footprint as the LG V40.

  • First mistake: using Bluetooth headset to listen to music. If you mostly listen to hip-hop/pop/soft/oldies music and not watch videos (you know...lag and all), maybe the Bluetooth headset isn't bad. However, as a metalhead and jazz head, I can hear the difference between Bluetooth and wired headphones and Bluetooth is straight garbage in terms of bass and clarity. Plus, I'd rather not use up battery to listen to music through Bluetooth or USB-C headphones (the DAC from those do suck up some battery). Either way, since the Galaxy S10+ was semi-disappointing and it looks like Razer is done making smartphones, for me it's the V50 vs. ZTE Axon 10 Pro. Pricing and battery life is what it's all going to come down to.

  • what? too big? lolol. it's standard lol. the screen width is 6.8cm which is very standard. and the screen height is 14.8cm.

  • LG v50 is too big. I wish it was a little smaller. LG V30 was the most I feel I would buy. Why does everyone want such big phones? I think 8gb of ram would be better for this too.

  • Well not your money...stop trolling here Lg haters!

  • Lol so whats the point you busybody here?? If you hate so much ip68 phone so go out from here play with your low quality cheap phone that doesnt have this ip68 feature! Its non your bussiness spamming here

  • Man no IP protection gives you warranty to a water damage. No matter if you had cheap or expensive phone warranty wont covers water damage so what do you want or thinks? Its just money thrown out of window for a water protection which will not helps you when your phone suffers water damage by any accident.

  • Man even if you have it who cares??? And when your phone suffers water damage even with theses do you think they will fix it for you for free??? No they dont so whether you have it or no is good for nothing.

  • Many prefers the jack because they HAVE (and can afford to buy) Good pair of HEADPHONES which makes sense when listening to hiRes Audio. They are called audio enthusiast and PROFESSIONALs.. commonly known as AUDIOPHILES. Come back to me if there are already wireless earphones that can last up atleast a MONTH. BECAUSE CHARGING ALL THE effin TIME ,MY FRIEND, IS SUPER ANNOYING AND A HASSLE. DO YOU GET MY POINT? NOT ALL ANCIENT ARE USELESS. dafuq.

  • this quad dac feature is the best feature i saw in smartphones. bt is just not good enough. since lg v30 lg has the best 3.5mm audio jack(in a par). and some ppls looks for multimedia in their phone and not bixby or any other feature. lg and samsung is the same shit since ever galaxy always wasnt reliable . and lg always been better in almost any parameter. so please who reply that dac is useless just dont reply because ur comment is useless. samsung fans is like apple fans=suckers. then keep suck and please dont share us in ur sucking ty.

  • Dont be so egois dude like you know everything.Go and play with your cheap quality phone rather than spamming here with your nonsense comment. Hope you getting block!

  • Hahaa lame.. Yes I guest your cheap quality phone doesnt have those feature that Lg phone had. So who care? Dont be so selfish

  • Man your DTX and 32-bit Quad-DAC is nothing. If you listen to music via 2 euros earpods bought from wish site it doesnt matter. And jack is always a cons. Its a stupid ancient analog technology which have nothing to do in a modern cell phone. IP68 is also a stupid feature. Never found anything usefull for it, Never needed it. I dont live in a rainforest, I dont swim with my phone. And no IP protection will give you water damage warranty. Its useless obsolette and phone with it cost much more money than without IP68 and MIL-STD.

  • The best one so far as a package from this year. Nokia 9 might have the cameras, but V50 has everything combines. The audio quality, the log video with lossless audio, the decent cameras (not outstanding, but at least they didn't flex with 40+ and 50+ MP cameras like Sony and end up not delivering them), good display, latest specs, etc. But the most important, they've finally added stereo speakers.

  • lg v50 and Samsung s10 has same main camera sensor sony imx 345 exmor rs, but lg has better manual mod camera and better ultrawide camera than samsung

  • I hqve v series it was awful with small battery so I wont buy till i see this monster v50.

  • I am a fan of lg phone But they made 2 mistakes which going let this phone failure There should be tof camera in front or back in v50 Lg didnt change mega pixel and sensor in camera Lg camera will beat s10 plus or not Other specs are perfect

  • I have v30. Love it. But v50 is too big!! Cant put in pocket! V30 is as big as it should get! G8 is same size as v30. Ill get g8 instead of v50.

  • typical spec guy

  • How is the headphone jack a CON!? It got IP68 with the freakin' jack! Only Samsung and Blackview managed to do this and it makes the audio with DTX and 32-bit Quad-DAC the best sounding audio in the mobile world! Lucky for you, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, and Google don't have it while maintaining the IP rating so enjoy those while we audioheads that know how to listen to music the right way enjoy this thing.

  • yes, I think LG is number 1 for audio quality,,, sony is number 2 n Samsung number 3

  • What are you on about ? a headphone jack is a cons ? Suddenly people got afraid of having options and advantages so bad ? Only 6 gigs of RAM ? How many gonna be enough for you, 16 ? Get some proper research first, lol. People these days.

  • why 6.4 inch? why not 7.4 inch or 9.4 , in future we can carry around 23.4 inch so people can play better games.

  • Typical Lg haters again. Stop trolling how do you know its weak camera??? Slow charging??? Device not even on sale. Millions of notch phone is ugly to you?? What a crap

  • Pros: battery screen, CPU, GPU and MIL-STD along with IP68 even i would say is obsoltette because its a feature for a clumsy people. Cons: headphone jack, only 6GB ram, weak cameras front and back, very slow charging, notch and ugly back design copied from Samsung.

  • Does this phone has the hifi DAC

  • Looks are not good .. Still fingerprint on the backside?? Nothing change interms of design, screen, camera with LG v40.. Poor LG

  • 6 gb ram LG flagship device, LG always do the mad thing loss market .

  • AMOLED is Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode active matrix allows OLED to have a higher refresh rate of 60hz which would be needed to the phone to feel smooth. AMOLED and OLED are interchangeable when talking about phone screens for the most part but if you want to be really technical all "OLED" screens are AMOLED.

  • Selfie camara maybe have a TOF camara like LG G8 THINKQ it is a most a the new develop in cellphones.

  • 5G radios will cause huge battery drain on the V50, so battery life will probably be similar to a phone that has a 3300 mAh battery. Prove to me otherwise, LG. Anyway, the same ugly UI, no theme store, and that BS notch. No, LG. No.

  • Why would you want an IPS screen?

  • on video it was OLED display here says AMOLED?

  • damn at last good battery but no ips screen... why lg why

  • yap, just don't insert Apple DNA inside your phone, please LG T_T just little more to be prefect Phone without any strange material XD

  • Quite uninspiring design and really bad promo photos (dark and weird wallpapers). I literally had do make myself to read through the specs.

  • good to see a large battery good luck LG

  • Finally lg 4000 mah battery, well hope they made this phone 2 version 4g and 5g.

  • Eww

  • Congratulations LG for this all rounder masterpiece. Only I will miss my favourite LG Qremote (IR blaster).

  • I'm with fais01 concerning the notch. Why could they not have gone with something like what the V30 has?? Other than that, you may actually be looking at a near perfect phone. They just need to return to the V30's styling with the notch or something similar. Notch haters out there, what is your take on this?? Are you forgiving of LG here? The phone probably will have spectacular audio and it might be a great gaming rig!

  • and the power button on the back side is 1 of most LG Phones Character

  • Why LG stay tune with NOTCH even mayor of their user hate it ? Why not using FULLVISION at V30 the best design that loved by their user ? I know LG new phone has much minor Improve each devices. but hey I'm still waiting : x Full Vision no notch or whatever aren't square display, x X55 Modem from Qualcomm (still waiting) x Has great software from LG character v have some tech other brand don't, like QNOVO charging, or etc v Ergonomic Premium Design v Triple Camera/ 5 Cameras, v Best LG OLED screen, v Stereo Speaker, v still Must be 3.5mm DAC/Amp, v yes, finally with the 4000mAh or more v and exactly the Reasonable Price not like those your competitor of 2 brand no problem if it has more advertisement first like Samsung. ~ you are big brand LG, make it profit & much customers lover for your mobile division too. Just don't copy it from 2 brand.

  • 7inch is a tab

  • Maybe LG might make a return here. If they price it just right, this phone will probably be the new king of flagships, overtaking even Samsung. 4000mAh battery, SD855, 3 Cameras, MIL-STD and even 5G! This thing has everything. Everything for a flagship. Just aim this thing at around $800-$900, and this beast will annihilate the competition. Not even the Galaxy S10 can beat this.

  • Maybe your network isn't "up to par" with 5g, but some people, like me, have 5g fully functioning...and not everyone gives a rip about the camera.

  • Yes, I will get this phone. 5g 4000ma battery Headphone jack

  • where is indisplay fingerprint not in V50 & not in G8 THINQ none of them?!

  • Hope this one ends up being available in Canada! Also I appreciate the headphone jack and DAC very much.

  • Finally LG is having the stereo speakers for its phone the very first time, a great improvement, but unfortunately the size is not big enough, if could make it with 7" will be perfect and also lack of IR blaster.

  • I wonder if this will smash or at least beat the s10 5g?

  • LG V40 vs V50 apart from 5G, new features the dual screen accessory, SD855 chipset, stereo speakers, Android Pie out of the box besides LG may even bring out a few software tweaks for the camera

  • Finally the BEST LG phone !!! LG is back, for the Oscars !!! But anyway, I'm ready to pay millions of Rupees for a Pro version with more memory and RAM (512 GB/8GB)!

  • Congrats., LG !!! More or less close to the V20 but with actualized style.

  • Bigger battery, stereo speakers, maintaining the headphone jack with an even BETTER DAC, 5G chipset, MIL-STD-G rating (people seriously tend to overlook this much-needed feature on phones), microSD card slot and Dolby Vision/HDR compliant display. Ho...ly...crap. If the Axon 10 Pro doesn't impress, I may just go after this phone.

  • LG v50 vs. LG v40. Cameras are copy/paste. They could've saved the V50 name and just do LG v40 ThinQ 5G, just like Xiaomi Mi mix 3 5G. Sure 50 goes better with 5G, but I don't see any reason why anyone would want to purchase a 5G phone right now since network isn't up to par yet, there will be definitely much more powerful devices by the time 5G is up and running in the same extend and capacity of 4G LTE of today, which seems still a long, very long time when you consider how quickly a new variant outlasts the former. LG v40 ThinQ hasn't even rolled it's sleeves up...

  • Shocked. Really shocked. Is it L.G. ?? Bigger battery at last. Thumbs up !!!!

  • last time it was mention LG V40 have dedicated SD card slot but in dual sim it is still hybrid sim slot . could you please confirm and let me know it dedicated slot i mean total 3 slot 2 sim and 1 SD card

  • FINALLY! Large battery and Larger camera sensor and trendy design. No camera hump. SD 855/5G. all the best LG

  • Why there is a notch in 2019!!

  • Nice battery!!
