LG fans, do you feel betrayed by the V30 rumors?

flyingkytez · Jul 14, 2017

The V30 might have a lot of hype, but I'm gonna wait, at least to see if there's a significant price drop and after reading user reviews. Only 4GB of RAM and 3200 mAh battery isn't worth the upgrade. If there's no dual pixel technology in the camera, it's an automatic no, they need to catch up with the times. When I heard about the V20 back in October, I bought it the first day it came out and I have no regrets. V30, don't think I'll do that after hearing about the specs and design.

Well, tbh, there will always be something better coming in the following year.

You will never be satisfied by playing the waiting game.

Well, the longer you wait, the more you will be disappointed. The rate of improvement is slowing rapidly... with each year's gains getting less and less. Unless there is some massive breakthrough in the tech, that's how things are going to be while the platform matures and everything plateaus.

Why throw the V40 into mix when the V30 isn't even out yet and you don't know what the actual specs are. Also many who won't jump to a V30 may jump to something in between.

Phone manufactures are profiting by continuing to slowly release older tech. That's why I'm looking at the One Plus and Huawei phones. Better value and top end specs (come on, 8GB RAM while everyone else gets 4GB still?). The mainstream market gets the same old stuff, just rehashed and favorite features taken away.

Quite honestly, 8GB of RAM is something only specheads will notice.

Even OP5 users agreed that the average user can hardly notice the effects of extra RAM. 4GB is more than mighty for most tasks. 6GB is nice but a little much while 8GB is rather overkill unless you're an extremely heavy user.

The mainstream OEMs are focused on crafting a different experience from their rivals.

What people fail to realize is that ram has nothing to do with speed, however when you overload memory it can slow down.

What's legitimate?

The V30 is going to have a curved screen (leaked photos)

Does this affect your buying decision? Leaked images of the tempered screen protectors are out. It's not going to be flat like the G6.

Looks like a flatter S7/S8 to me... Advocates of the 'do not take removable batteries or your phone will be a flop!' movement will not be happy with this, though. Neither are those who still want ~~a headphone jack or~~ IR blasters.
