Seems like the screen itself has no curved edges, but the device has. That's great news to me. The back I don't like that much, but it's acceptable in my opinion. They should remove the V30 print to make it look cleaner.

Whats your opinion on the device?

the glass looks curved to me

Yes but the OLED screen isn't I think. I was worried they'll follow Samsung by doing so and now I'm happy they didn't.

Yes, it doesn't look like the image is curved.

Well, it's the nicest looking phone LG has ever made. That's for sure.

So what's your guess on size? Hopefully a bit bigger than the G6. I really like the pics though.

Bring it on, I'm ready to try it out lol

It does not look slim and tall like the G6 unless my eyes deceive me

I can't tell either. I think it'd be strange if they jumped back to 16×9

I'm hoping for 2×1

This article states 18:9 so you might be good.

On the G6 there is a very slight curve on the back edge

Looks good even with the curved glass. Would have preferred flat but as long as the OLED is flat I'm good. Still want to see the features.

Yuck, looks like a Galaxy S6 Edge from 2015, played out design. All I have to say is good luck with screen protectors. You're going to experiment with several different ones until you find one that sorta works. I gave up when I had the S8 Plus. If they were going to curve the edges, they might as well curve the screen too like the S8. A manufacture might successfully make a glass protector that actually works. But the problem is having one that works with a case combined; it's a headache trust me.

On a good note, glad they made the camera glass smaller to prevent shatters and cracks. It goes well with that girl that's using it, goes well with her earrings and purse. Very shiney and jewelery-like.

Who knows, I might pick one up after the hype dies down just to check it out. Won't be my main daily driver though.

Looks good, the curves at the side of the screen seem quite minor and less intrusive than on the Samsungs.

What difference does it make? It's curved. If you think it will help make it easier for screen protectors, you're wrong. Curved glass is a challenge for screen protector manufacturers. There will be a "halo" or "rainbow" effect when trying to install glass protectors. Also will be a challenge for users to hold it correctly as curved edged phones are oddly shaped.

I think the point being made is that the image is not curved.... That's a difference.
No one mentioned screen protectors and that is a different issue.

That's a big investment just to check it out.

Beautiful, definitely. Until it cracks. I'd rather have it rugged.

Her nail polish doesn't match her phone.

Any phone can crack though so I guess I miss your point?

Curved front and back glass? Compare the V30 to the V10. Which is easier to crack?
