LG V30 - One of my favorite devices

[gray2018]

So I used the LG V30 for nearly two years when I initially purchased it in 2018. Such a great phone. Mine was on T-Mobile and I believe Android Pie was the last software version it got.
Great screen, design, build IMO, headphone jack, SD card support, no camera notch or cut out. Camera was also really good at the time IMO.
I think I recall the V30, despite having only a 3300maH battery, being really good. I basically didn't have to charge it until I went to bed, and that was from 5:00AM.
Seems like it basically sipped battery. That was with having it at basically 80-90% brightness, AOD and WQHD.

Anyone else miss this device? Honestly, I miss LG in general. They deserved more credit than they got. I was sad to see them go. The V60 til this day IMO is still also a fantastic device, despite the huge issue with the charging port.

My favorite was the V20 and the secondary screen. I only got rid of it when it started becoming obsolete and replaced with the V60. That was also a good phone, but sacrificed many things that made the V20 great.

Like what exactly?

I also had a G6 which I hated, and a G8 for a short time that was okay. My main gripe with the G8 was the "full screen speaker."

The V60 didn't have the second screen, LCD screen, floating apps, IR blaster, decent bezels, removable battery, plastic body, and had an ugly camera notch (thank goodness for Nacho Notch).

I know some of those changes happened from the V30 on, but I'm just comparing the V60 to the V20.

Ahh. I see.
I quite liked the V60 honestly. I liked the design of the phone, minus the notch, of course. And the screen was top notch, and super bright. Really good, loud speakers, too.

I used one for a short time and it was fantastic. I kind of want one again honestly... Lol. But when I used it before, it was more widely available. Also not a fan of the fact how there weren't any "factory unlocked," type devices available, at least in the US.

I also had the v20 and v60. I miss both.

The V60 was quite nice, but I just liked the V20 better.

I also had the V30 on T-Mobile. It was one of my favorite phones. It was great for shooting live video at concerts. I miss the LG innovations. I think they were the first to offer ultra-wide lens on a smart phone?

I liked the modularity of the G5! I really enjoyed both the G6 and V30, but I miss the V30 the most.

The V20 was one of my favourite devices. I loved the 2nd screen and the DAC.
