Seems like V30 is going to be the best phone

Nobody's does until it DOES. A US Senator warned me about so BlueBorne is a serious concern.

Either way it pisses me off LG is so slow with updates or VZW so slow to deliver them. Each blames the other.

Doesn't really matter, everyone's private info is already at risk. My online tax return company got hacked (Tax Slayer) and there was nothing I could've done on my part, they have my info but can't do much with it right now. T-Mobile got hacked a few years back, again not my fault. And also now Equifax. My computer and phones never got hacked. The thing you need to worry about is fake emails trying to get your password login to sites, and fake scam calls from guys from India claiming to be the IRS. Snowden already revealed that the NSA has access to your info. Plus there's nothing on my phone anyways, just random pictures. I avoid cloud storage, celebrities got their iCloud hacked and had embarrassing photos of them leaked.

"getting hacked" and giving third parties permission to sell your user data are different things. I actually feel like LG does a decent job of keeping their Android phones secure, although they're obviously way behind Samsung and BlackBerry and even further behind Google and Apple. Almost 90% of my aversion to LG and Samsung devices as a daily driver, for myself, is that I hate giving permission to companies to sell my personal information. Verizon does it and it twerks me off and I'd love to leave them as soon as someone builds a better network in my area. If LG would commit to halting that practice and to avoiding enabling it, such as with preinstalled bloatware that gives data to companies that do so, they'd easily rise a notch or two in respect to privacy and security.

Also, it is not difficult to roll out a security update within 24 hours if public availability. Not sure if you guys know this, but the September update was made available to the OEMs in the last week of July. They had over a month to prepare. Usually they have about 4 weeks. There's no excuse for not having at least the September 1 update in every device launched in the past 3 years other than just not caring.

With the new video recording capabilities, expect the storage to get filled up quickly. This phone is focused on video creation, hence the V in V30.

Are you saying the V stands for video?

BlueBorne not only gets your passwords if you have a banking app it can access your account turn it to bitcoin and anonymously steal your money.

So by your logic because something got hacked we should just ignore security updates / patches and freely do whatever?

That sounds like a very bad idea. Hacks aren't meant to happen and they try to stop them but can't stop everything. Just like car crashes -- You can get in one but you of course try not to. Same thing with your private info.

Terribad idea.

Terribad idea.

I like that.... Terribad.... That could be a new term

A first battery comparison. The screen brightness has been configured to be 300 cd/m² on all phones:

Of course this doesn't translate into actual SOT, but it makes the V30 comparable to the Note 8 und S8+. The V30 won!

That surprised me but very good news!

There are many other tests that show the note 8 beat the s8 plus. So I take this one with a grain of salt.

Do the other tests include a time lapse video with the devices running on the same settings?

Man I was just about to post this! If the starting price has a 7 in front of it I'm definitely getting the V30. Even if it's $799.

Yes

Yes

Ok.

It better not be more but will there be two versions coming to the us?

 

[RaRa85]

I think the US will get the one standard version. Only a few markets will get the Pro version with more built in storage I think? Don't quote me on that one.

I think so too which sucks but oh well.

Well at least we still get expandable storage so no biggie.

This phone gonna fail in sales, LG has no marketing at all, Note 8 is selling better, iPhone 8 will come out soon, Mate 10, Pixel 2... V30 is already forgotten tbh.

As for me, i won't update to any phone other than Mate 10, i wanted the V30 but i don't need high-end DAC since i got mine USB C audio dac, and 4k doesn't have stabilization and from what i've seen, V30 isn't great at that aspect.

The v30+ will be on sprint
