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

Re: The V30 is coming soon, what will it need to be successful?
Well I can say wireless headphones are as convenient as I believe (for me) because .. I use them daily. I get not everyone will want/like that but for me the convenience and freedom I have while using them is worth it to me. I am also not an audiophile so wired headphones for sound isn't a big thing on my list. This is why wireless works for me.
With that said a few of my friends do prefer wired because they do go for the sound quality. Some do it simply because they don't want to mess with wireless or spend the money on them. Varying reasons but I would say in my world of tech friends it is a mixed bag since we all use our phones differently.

Re: The V30 is coming soon, what will it need to be successful?
I have Bluetooth in my car but out of convenience of quickly plugging in the jack, I would use the auxiliary connection instead more often. With Bluetooth, I'd have to go through a few steps to connect to it and it takes another 30 seconds. But completely eliminating the jack isn't necessary, Bluetooth and the jack should stay and be used according to preference instead of having no choice. I honestly don't see headphone jacks going away soon. I remember back in the day the HTC MyTouch 3G only had a USB mini jack, a converter was needed to plug in a headphone jack, very inconvenient and you can't plug in headphones while charging. Other phones had a 2.5mm jack and they had converters for 3.5mm. We'll be going back to converters again without headphone jacks.

Re: The V30 is coming soon, what will it need to be successful?
Well that sucks that your car doesn't work like most. I just hop in my truck and start it up -- it auto connects to my phone. No interaction from me what so ever.
Same when walking into work with my BT Headset. I simply flip it on -- it auto connects to my phone. With the S8 I can even go to my truck on lunch and have my headset connected, start the truck, and it connects to the truck right away as well.
I also never said they were going away -- I was simply countering your point where you're trying to tell every person that they aren't as convenient as we "believe" -- sorry it isn't a fantasy I am talking from.. I am talking about my real world usage. For some BT is more convenient -- for others they want headphone jacks.

Re: The V30 is coming soon, what will it need to be successful?
Blue tooth is more convenient except for having to charge them but that's not really a big issue if have the type that also support plugging in a wire. Actually my wired headphones require charging for the noise cancellation feature. If your Bluetooth headset and phone have the latest audio protocol you can actually get great sound. I still prefer wired for sound but any convenience differential is minimal. Bluetooth are better for sports or activities where the wire gets in the way. A good wire snag can actually rip your phone out of your pocket.

Bluetooth also drains battery a bit more.

Probably not more than the QUAD DAC.

If it does I haven't really noticed from the times I have it running to the time I don't.

How about an L pen to compete with Samsungs S Pen? Lol I kid, but would be cool if someone someday launched a real note competitor.
I think it needs a more competitive camera, and it will need great battery life because it's eliminating the removable battery.

Well on paper they've improved the camera and in theory there are features that should improve battery life.

I'll have to see it for myself. Low-light with fast focus is what I'm looking forward to. Tired of blurry pictures on my V20.

I dislike AMOLED, but LG has a lot of experience with their OLED TVs and they had enough time to learn from the Flex phone, so I have some hope the POLED screen will be good. No black crush and natural white please!

From what I have seen and heard in leaks and guesses there is nothing I will like about the V30. Not a damn thing.

I'm not aware of any disadvantages of Plastic oleds over the glass ones (if there are, I'll probably be corrected in milliseconds ;p). The plastic refers to the substrate used, not the front of the screen that your finger interacts with. Plastic allows for a thinner screen, as well as durability:
POLED (Plastic OLED) is about to come back in a big way
