It's basically audio and video vs productivity of the s pen.

I'll take the v30.

Full on Nexus/Pixel user here, and I have to say that the V30 is the only phone on the market that makes me wonder if the Pixel 2 is really the phone I want to get. LG looks like they've made an incredible device with everything I need, and then some.

LG V30 has a one handed mode too.. swipe across the navigation bar on either side

[SunsetNova]

V30 is significantly cheaper, vastly superior audio and actually has a finger print sensor that you can actually use. Clear win for LG.

🚨 So correction; there's a one handed feature on the V30. You swipe left to right on the home soft buttons to access it and it can appear on either side of the screen. Here's a secret...they actually had it before Samsung, go figure 🙄

Have always been impressed with LG's V series. I really wish they get a break this year with the V30!

I held the V30 and immediately fell in love. Spending time with it, I loved the in-hand feel and the responsiveness. There's also so many little things about the phone that might not be captured in a review. I currently own an S8 and will be discarding it for the V30 on launch day, if possible.

Brilliant video. Thanks for a lengthy discussion about in hand feel & weight & specifically mentioning the width as that plays an important role in holding a smartphone.

People say LG stole Samsung's design... To be fair, LG released the LG G6 with the taller screen and rounded corners before Samsung and every other company - if I'm not mistaken. The only thing LG got was the curves from Samsung, and it is not even the actual display, just the glass.

that blue is EVERYTHING on the v30....

[SHIN]

I currently have a v20 after the note 7 fiasco and definitely am happy I made the switch

[pottsie]

Thinking about buying the V30 when it comes out over here in the UK. What do you think?

[WillBegoable]

Had the note 4, now have a V20, I do not miss the stylus.

[paulverteller]

So when is the V30 going on sale, specifically in Europe? I want one but when can i get it.

[warlockrohit]

which earphone you were using for v30 in the video? the one with the braided cable

[samibari]

nah the quad dac sells it for me dont give a shit about the s pen

[Tigerex]

great, what is lg's v30 price with the headphones 64gb?

[lachlanhamilton]

man, what a great time to be buying a phone. LG and Samsung have really outdone themselves in different ways. I'm pretty serious about audio so the V30 is my choice, that Note 8 is shockingly tempting

[mevensc]

What color should i take the v30 ._.(i like the blue and silver but i cant choose)

[Stevethesearcher]

LG V30 for me because I am into video more than the S Pen. They are both great phones but ergonomics and video swings it for me.
