New Arrival: LG V30 (4GB RAM, 6.0")

And here we have it, having been a stuff of rumor for sometime now, LG a brand that hasn't really been the most successful in the android world but a force of some credibility to reckon with has eventually unveiled the new piece that might just be able to bring them out of the shadows in the industry.

LG V30

Running on a 3,300mAh powerhouse, GPU: Adreno 540, 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 835, Octa-core (4x2.45 GHz Kryo & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo), and of course yes boasts of the fingerprint scanner feature and even better addons. the device has surely come to make a statement.

Not bezel-less but the V30's 6-inch OLED screen takes up almost all of the phone's face; the bezels are quite narrow. The V30's body is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, there's a headphone jack on the top-right corner, and it takes microSD cards as large as 2TB to supplement the included 64GB or 128GB of storage. At the bottom you'd find a stardard USB type C port for charging, and a combination fingerprint sensor/home button on the V30's back, just beneath its dual camera. The V30 has rounded edges and slightly curved panes of Gorilla Glass 5 wrapped around a glossy metal frame, and it's quite light for its build and look, we talking 158 g (5.57 oz) precisely.

Now, about that dual camera. Unlike the G6, the V30 pairs a 16-megapixel main camera (complete with f/1.6 aperture lens) with a 13-megapixel wide-angle camera for when you want to capture more of the action in front of you. That's a little different from the dual cameras we've recently seen in phones like the Essential PH-1, but I've always preferred this approach since it's way more flexible in the field.

The audio quality is said to HiFi Quad DAC, which gives great listening pleasure with headphones plugged in.
