got my v30 from Verizon today

I'd love to know more about the camera experience. I picked up a G6 when they came out and had to return it because the cameras were terrible. The lenses are super slow so any pictures of my kids were 70% blur. Not so with the Pixel or s8. Also, there was a ton of post processing happening and low light photos were just pitiful. NONE of those things were ever mentioned on anyone's reviews, which is BS.

I've got a feeling the v30 is the same, just ever so slightly better.



The slowness of the lenses is also a concern of mine. I went to ATT to buy and the 5 mins I had to play with it the shutter/lens speed for kids seemed slower than samsung/apple/pixel

After trying hours with both I can tell you is much better than g6 but still not so good as n8. Good thing is the speed is much faster now than any LG phones and is almost as fast as n8 and s8
 
Thanks I would love to see them, from what I've read & seen the reviews say that those two phone's rear cameras are neck & neck when comparing photography, even in low light.

Yeah - there are multiple reviews out there basically stating this.
 
I've never used the LG skin UI. How bad is it compared to stock Android? Can you put Nova Launcher over it?

Many android purists will say stock is better. I personally like the LG skin but have an appreciation for the stock experience. Stock is certainly smoother than most skins. I am guessing you can run Nova launcher on the V30. I have the G6 and have had the Nova Launcher from the day I purchased it. Nova typically doesn't have the stutter sometimes associated with LG or Samsung skins, for example.

The LG V20 is my first Android device that doesn't run stock Android. I've only used Moto and Nexus devices previously. However, I've used Nova Launcher Prime on every single Android device I've used. Therefore, I don't notice much of a difference with LG.

Only silver one, the screen really surprised me!

Great to hear some positive reviews. When you move from a LCD to a P-OLED display, you really do notice a difference. The 1440 x 2880 pixels with ~537 PPI also helps things looks really nice. Nothing wrong with "Only Silver". It still looks nice :)

Only pity v30 has is the ram.

Whats wrong with 4GB RAM? That should be plenty to run all applications you can throw at it. Don't let the OnePlus 5 spoil the 4GB Spec sheet. haha
 
Same here. I have a V10 and that's my #1 complaint, shutter lag. That and the camera app itself seems to take way too long to load and be ready for that first shot. I thought they would have solved this issue by now. On paper, the V30 is everything I want but I'm not going to get it if I have to deal with shutter lag. I would love to try the Note 8 but I refuse to pay $1000 for a phone. Crossing my fingers the Mate 10 has everything I want.

Yes the screen shows me natural color performance and so far I like it very much. Ram is not issue but when everyone else is upgrading to 6g I feel LG needs too

No doubt V10 camera at all aspects is the worst.
It's my first time doing flagship phones have that bad camera
 
Does anyone know if the $200 gift card and daydream promos with Verizon are online only or can I buy the phone in store? They know nothing about this phone like other people are saying.
 
What is the resolution set for on default for the V30 camera? I know on the G6 the resolution defaulted to 16:9 at a lower resolution. 4:3 and gives the best pictures with the most detail. I'm wondering if that's the case in the V30 too.

Online only. Can't use the card towards the phone.
