Didn't expect the gap to be that big.

Wow... LG Phones are usually snappy. Weird.

This is making me rethink getting the V30

I have both and you don't notice it in real life, both phones are very quick. If you want a fast phone the OP5 obliterates everything. At the end of the day the V30 does everything really well and feels just right.

I have two and they are snappy as hell

I guess that's part of why the difference is surprising. You don't really notice it in real life. I mean if you look at individual apps, the Note 8 is faster but not by much. Not everybody will time app loading down to the last 3 seconds. And not everybody will be switching across 15 apps in a span of 2 minutes. The difference seen is accumulated through all of that. Plus the v30 proc is clocked higher (same speed as OnePlus).

In the end of the day though, it's cheaper, about the same size as Note 8, and performance could be enhanced by a later update, so it's not a bad buy. The price difference is pretty big, more than enough to make anyone not married to the S Pen consider.

In this speed test the V30 performs better, aside from games:

What I don't like about side by side tests like the one you posted was that he isn't always able to press the apps at the same time. There were a couple where I feel he pressed later on either phones.

But hey, differences are minimal on a per app basis. The difference only got big in the first video because all the differences piled up and the additional RAM on the Note gave it the home run.

so many of the videos done have been done on pre production software and pre release os updates .. so take it all with a little understanding that there will be updates to much of the memory optimization and other elements of post tweaks.

I said it many times that the RAM in the Note8 puts it well ahead.

When you buy a phone that's worth +$650 you are buying a top end device that should not be dropping apps from its RAM after so little time.

That was quite a large gap the Note8 left the V30 by despite the "lighter" LG skin and higher clocked CPUin the V30.

Here's to hoping the V40 catches up or they bring a V30+ with 6GB RAM.

OP5 does not. Actually the Note 8 beats it but barely.

That isn't even a good speed test like the god of speed tests on youtube phonebuff like above. lol

I wouldn't call it a fair or even a valid test since the reviewer didn't show us what's running in the background before starting the tests for each phone.

The test was not valid. The second linked video is much more credible & it shows that both phones are fairly evenly matched. RAM is only an advatange if you're playing games or anything that demands high memory usage. The Note 8 is also priced much higher than the V30 which clearly has more features.

Please explain to me why the first one is not valid and why the second one is more credible?

When you run any sort of benchmark tests...you also need to prove an even playing field for the devices being tested. The first video didn't show us if both phones had anything running in the background before starting the tests.

You obviously don't know PhoneBuff well. Go see some of his earlier videos and he discusses how he preps the phones.

Sorry, but like I said, anyone who knows PhoneBuff, knows his tests are the legit ones.

Lol! That is a weak argument. We could make the same argument for the 2nd video as we don't know what was Cached in both phones in the background before he rebooted them, just because they were off doesn't mean there was nothing in RAM.

So both videos we didn't see the testers close all apps and do a true fresh start.

Another problem with Video 2 is he just opens the app's, in video 1 (PhoneBuff) they actually get the app's to do things e.g. the video both phones worked on.

Making video 1 still valid.

Both videos are valid, no excuses.

Knowing someone doesn't make them more credible to do a test. The one video you provided is certainly not credible based of the content he provided.
