LG V40 ThinQ vs. LG V30: LG Goes All-In on the Notch

Danny Zepeda 6 months ago

When LG introduced the V30 last year, it became an unfortunate afterthought even though it was one of the best Android devices of the year. A year later, LG hopes the V-series can have a mainstream breakthrough with the V40 ThinQ, improving upon many areas over its predecessor. Going from the V30 to the V40 ThinQ, the changes are mostly incremental. LG returned the same design language...

LG G7 vs. LG V30: Small refinements make a big difference

Danny Zepeda 11 months ago

LG’s newly announced G7 is its first major flagship since the V30 was released last September. Officially, the G7 is the successor to the G6, but in reality, it more closely resembles the V30. Looking at the two, their similarities are not hard to miss. Each carries a certain level of refinement LG missed with the G6. However, LG also improved upon some of the V30’s biggest mistakes....

Holiday shopping didn't boost LG's mobile division in late 2017

Justin Herrick 1 year ago

LG isn’t doing too bad, as long as you’re ignoring its performance in the mobile industry. Certainly, the once-thriving division has lost its appeal in recent years. But underwhelming phones compared to the competition have resulted in poor sales. Both the G6 and V30 were absolutely good phones on paper; however, they just couldn’t help bring the mobile division to finish 2017 strong....

LG V30 vs Google Pixel XL: LG knocks out Google's best

Danny Zepeda 1 year ago

With LG presenting its latest and greatest device with the V30, we thought it’d be a good time to revisit how it stacks up against Google’s Pixel XL. Google jumped into the smartphone market with the Pixel XL just last year, and it was a solid first effort. Design-wise, it didn’t quite push the envelope but its software took the Android experience to a new level. The front of the Pixel...

LG V30 vs LG G6: Which flagship is worth your money?

Danny Zepeda 1 year ago

Earlier this year, LG rebooted the design language of its G line with the G6. The G6 marked the end of LG’s short-lived experimentation with modularity with a shift towards a premium finish. In many ways, the newly announced V30 is a follow up to the G6—not its namesake, the V20—with its new metal and glass build. As you would expect, the V30 and G6 are very similar phones. But right...
