Some advice from all you V30 owners, please

How is LG WRT to updating their device for security fixes?

Not the best but adequate

I've had the Note 5 with AT&T for a year and a half now and I'm starting to desire an upgrade. I was originally thinking of upgrading to the S8 but not since Samsung forced their curved screen on all of us. Not really a fan of curved screens. I was hoping the Note 8 would be awesome, but unfortunately it's just a repackaged S8 with a pen.

I've had my eye on the V30 since it was first announced and the phone has intrigued me.

So ... I've read a ton of reviews, watched some videos, but now I want to hear from all you V30 owners - is this really a decent contender to upgrade to from my Note 5?

I thank all of you ahead of time for any input you give me.

I think it's a very good replacement to the aging Note 5. I would say the camera quality is similar but it includes a useful wide angle you'll find yourself using in certain situations. The microphone is MUCH better, with 3 microphones at different angles, it's great for recording video at concerts. RAM management and battery is much more efficient with SD 835 + LG's optimized OS. The AMOLED screen might not beat Samsung's but it shouldn't matter too much. The phone's form factor is much lighter and comfortable than the old and clunky Note 5. You won't get an S Pen but there's some built in note taking apps with the doodle feature. Coming from the Note 5, you'll like it.

Yes! The wide angel camera alone makes it worth it. It'll be hard for me to upgrade to any other phone if it doesn't have a wide angel camera, which to my knowledge, only the LG G6 and V20 have this, but not as good as the V30's. The V20 is more distorted on the sides.
