Pristine Tech does the best LG review I've seen hands down oh, it's a comparison video with the note 9 I was ecstatic about getting the lgv40 until I realized the note 9 offer much more for the money, I do miss my wife screen camera lens but that's all there is to miss
I know this is a bit "after the event" but I just wanted to thank you for the great review. I have seen so many reviewers that are sadly so blatantly biased against LG phones and it is refreshing to hear such a positive review. I am currently deciding whether to upgrade from LG V30 to the V40 and I think your review has just finalised the decision. I have used so many LG phones and have absolutely adored my LG V30 for the past year - for me also it is the near perfect phone! - almost flawless. I bought an iPhone 8 plus which was returned within days, what a backward step, it just could not compete with the V30. Then I bought a Galaxy S10 and that was returned within a few days - for me it was not as good as the LG experience. I am now just looking to get a better camera experience. I listen to music all the time and LG flagships are unbeatable for that. The only thing putting me off is the fact that they moved the power button from the back to the side, but I guess I can live with that.
@@arnold_m_xavier you won't believe this, I am typing this on my LG V40 - android 10, I bought it after trying relentlessly to get used to a Samsung with in display fingerprint sensor. I tried a few phones but in display fingerprint sensors just do not do it for me there are forever telling me cannot read your thumbprint cannot recognise thumbprint so my LGs always work flawlessly, have just bought a LG G8s android 12 Which I am about to set up and make my daily phone. It's practically the same size and footprint as the LG v30 but with a better screen etc etc, Again, fingerprint sensor on the back where it should be, brilliant screen and brilliant sounds from the headphone jack, I guess I am just stuck in the past lol.
Watching this on my V20, getting this one to replace it, LG has upped their game so much in such a short period of time, that I can't help but feel happy for them, LG seems to have finally found their own way of doing things, great phone (except for that steep price tag)
Not a issue. 8-9 hours of SOT is daily. And when your under 20% the standby power is excellent. All the updates to the camera make this my best phone ever. So glad I got it.
@@evilmonstertruck - Oh dude, I agree. The camera is fantastic! My wife and I were in Hawaii this week and we both have amazing pics on both our V40's!
morallyGray If the phone is a AT&T phone then it wants me to pay to Tether when I'm on cricket. If its the unlocked versions then I can tether for free
@@geo745don ALL Sprint users can request the phone be unlocked by sprint themselves and yes my phone can tehter since i get free 50GB WIF hotspot with my plan
Finally, an accurate review of this great phone! I've had it for about a week and agree with everything you said. My one gripe is the same as yours, that it's just a bit too big and would have been better inside the V30 footprint. BUT I also totally appreciate how light they were able to make it!
Thanks for the 60 day update. I'd love to see a comparison of the cameras before and after the updates. I think most reviews of the cameras came from users who were given the phone by LG before it was updated and as such the camera doesn't receive good reviews (or at least compared to more polished flagships).
Most of The review that came the day this phone was released, all are using preproduction firmware. In fact, 2 days later LG released new updates, and that was still in v09a. The retail version always come with V10 firmware
We've been trying to include newer V40 samples in other camera reviews since then. The upcoming Mate 20 Pro camera review and OnePlus 6t camera review will include samples from the latest V10 firmware on the V40.
Their mobile division is only 13% of their business they give two fux if you buy their phones or not they actually lose money making them but I think the V series is the best line of phones there is I've only had Samsungs and apples . But when I held the v40 how light and beautiful it was in morrocan blue... Manual cam is where it shines and can go against any phone out there... Pro video mode which Sammy took away and gutted the cam app wtf same song.. Glad tho cuz LG hp jack is amazing
My first phone with Lg was the v20 & I have been searching for the last six months & liked the HTC 12+ & ended up buying the v40 & very happy with all the options the phone has to offer but the camera really did it for me... Definitely the best phone for me!
After all the mixed reviews I've watch and alot of them are just people being brats about notches and specs that pretty much every other flagships have. You have sold me completely on the v40. It is my next upgrade from the s7 edge. Thank you.
i think for the price LG threw up, its understandable. The V40 is almost the V35 for $900 which is ridiculous. If the phone launched for $650 (OP6T competitor) and came with pre order goodies i think it would of done absolutely fantastic in sales and gotten incredible reception. A stock to stock V40 against an iphone Xs and Note 9 is just not going to be a contest. I mean my preference would be the V40, and probably yours too. But what about the rest of the market? LG needs to up consistency and marketing SIGNIFICANTLY and maybe they can stand out a lot more.
I recently acquired the LG G7 and I am happy with the terminal, the camera seems good, the sound is amazing and I do not bother the Notch also having little battery has lasted up to a day and a half.Little by little, LG is improving, hopefully it will continue to grow as it is almost taken into account ... Excellent Review greetings and blessings ...
Watching from my LG V30. I've owned 2 iPhones and NEVER again. Also use and own a Samsung GS7 (among other Galaxy phones), which isn't bad but really impressed with my LG. So impressed that the LG OLED TV is probably my next bigger purchase..
I got my LG V20 two years ago thru Verizon and want to trade up I checked out the Moto Z3,Samsung G10+ but after seeing your great video I going to check out the LG V40. Thanks☺.
Why does LG have to make the V40 so good and so expensive!?!? I have a G7 I bought the day it released on T-Mobile. I used a BOGO deal so I have to pay off my G7 over 24 months before I can upgrade in order to get the 2nd phone free. But I'll buy the V40 either as a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, or use money I get for Christmas towards it. This video completely sold the V40 for me
Great review, looks really good, triple camera set up including Wide Angle and telephoto lenses, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card support (it’s just so much easier and cheaper to get an SD Card for more storage rather than having to buy a new phone just to get additional storage), FM Radio, ip 68 water and dust resistance, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... and a Fast Charger included the box. Ticks so many boxes. Nice one. This is looking like a strong contender to replace my LGG6 which has been superb (my first ever LG phone).
I have watched literally HUNDREDS of phone reviews and a good chunk of those were for LG phones as I've had a few as my own daily driver and yours is by far the best I've ever watched. You touched on points I've always considered as an LG owner for years and talked about it without the usual hint of disdain I hear in so many other reviews. Good job and you just got a new subscriber!
You are getting better and better with explaining about these phones.keep up the good work and your viewers will always support no matter how many views etc you are the person I would want to learn from when it comes to phones.🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Just got yourself a new subscriber with this in-depth and honest review of LG's latest and greatest. I can only hope that your channel grows bigger and stronger to enlighten other consumers especially with all of the click-bait crap nowadays .
This phone is amazing fr edit I just got mine today and holy s*** seeing it in a video doesn't do it justice holding it in your hand and seeing that beautiful 6.4 inch display wow blazing Fast 2 most underrated smartphone of 2018
Yeah , but a smaller battery will only keep you going for so long when in heavy use , there is no substitute for more battery . we saw the same thing with the galaxy note 8 , it could do ok in moderate use , but in heavy use it sucked . i might add , these devices that are sold as productivity or camera centric devices if used for their desired use can really suck through the battery if used for that purpose . my s8+ is ok , but in 2018 i would not consider anything with less than 3500 Mah .
@@mikldude9376 - The battery in the V40 is just fine. I got 14 hours of screen-on time yesterday on Quad HD resolution. If you don't have a V40, you'll never know.
@@adamschulte5903 yeah but what else did you use , gps for tagging , video for extended periods , higher brightness for outside use , start uploading and downloading files , play music while taking snaps , use gps for directions while bluetoothing music. i could also get 12 hours sot on my S8+ , But once you start really using the phone , adding software , signing up for added permissions for different apps that use resources in the back ground , I guarantee your battery time will shrink right down my friend . Anyone can get good battery if they don't use much of the phone s resources.
@@mikldude9376 - I used my GPS, Google Maps, and also watched some UA-cam videos for an hour. The big secret is clearing your recent apps frequently and not depending on your phone to do it. Yes, it has 6GB of RAM, but having all those apps open for hours at a time will drain the battery real quick. I keep my brightness on 70% and that does not drain the battery quicker than having it on 50%. No power settings have been tweaked. I also just got back from Hawaii, so I spent a lot of time snapping pictures and shooting video. The worst day for the battery was an 8 hour day because of a low signal area. If you are still looking to discredit me, you better dig deeper than that.
@@adamschulte5903 Not trying to discredit you bud , just saying , if you use the resources your phone is equipped with like a heavy user , you will not see 12 hours sot or the massive battery time you claim to be getting . There is no magic , size of battery = X amount of energy , if you use lots of energy , you are going to run out of battery much sooner , simple maths . Have a good day .
The way you dsecribed how you you like the design of LG phones 👌👌👌 couldn't have said it better! That's exactly me. I just love to hold an LG phone in my hand. And I'm very happy with the camera! The automatic mode may be not as good as in other phones, but the LG manual mode for videos and photos is the best! The only thing I really don't like about the V40 and the G7 is that Google Assistant button and the external power button. One of the reasons I choose the G2 back then was because of the power button on the back. It was sooo practical! Hope LG gets back to it! 💓
Excellent. Shame on biased reviewers who accept every crap from iPhone and Samsung as invention and call LG's inventions as gimmick. I wish LG continues its mobile production.
I'm glad someone feels the same about LG the way I do. I won't be buying the LG V40 instead I'll be keeping my V30+. I'm considering LG V35 but I'm going to wait to see if the price is right especially since it will be BLACK FRIDAY soon. Great video
Went out with a group of people the other day and someone had the iphone 11 pro and another person had this lg phone. To my surprise the lg took way better photos. The video on the lg is probably the best I've ever seen on a smart phone.
It's cool, taste is subjective, so where other reviewers will prefer the pixel 3 for example and thus recommend that over this, as far as features that I care about, the v40 is definitely for me. Headphone jack, manual video controls and the different camera focal lengths are all great features so it's nice to hear a review for this phone by someone who values different things than the more popular reviewers :)
I am liking my V40 more as I use it. T-Mobile has limited color selection meaning Black. Once I set up face recognition (yes I know not 100% secure) it instantly pops my screen up, so fast that I had to try it without either my face seen or my finger touching the sensor on the back to make sure it was not just always unlocked. Talk about effortless. For me it even works faster than the Iris scan of my Samsung S9+ though I am still stubborn to try Bixby on the Samsung as if I made up my mind saying,"I won't like it." Since we are trading our privacy for convenience these days, might as well just use Google assistant. Duck Duck Go assistant would be cool to have though, they are the "we don't track you, we don't know anything about you and don't want to know" people.
Had the LG V40 for a week now, upgraded from the HTC U11. This phone is perfect imo. Amazing sound wired, great sound Bluetooth and really good from the phones speakers. The panel is next level nice and crisp. Everything is fast and snappy. Games that I stopped playing days ago but didn't close open right up to where I paused, those 6 gigs of ram coming in handy. I loved the U11, but this is far better in every way. People who complain about LG not having Android vanilla and using their own skin are just complainers and will find any dumb thing to drag down a product that has no flaws so far. Only area I am not sure on is the cameras since the weathing in NYC has been miserable lately. Highly recommend this phone if you can get it at a discount. $960 is too much for any phone, but no complaints at the little over $600 I got it via Sprint. Fantastic device.
My v30 is in terms of speed on pair with mate 20pro. I was stunned that sd 835 is so close to kirin 980.I buyed mate only beacuse still after 2 months you cant preorder or buy v40 anywhere in europe.Lg has the worst distribution and marketing strategy in europe.
Love the review thank you, I've been hesitant to go with LG since the G4 heating up and constantly rebooting which LG could not fix. I might take a chance with this one since that was a long time ago.
Amazing review. Finally someone who goes in depth on the software. People always cry about wanting stock android etc. But I personally am very happy with LG software (I have a v30), the LG tweaks are more important to me than the new features android pie brings... And it's so very well optimized for the phone, the battery life is simply amazing. That's one of the reasons why I think the v30 is almost the better phone than the v40. For a person like me who almost never uses the cameras, I'd rather have the v30 without notch, smaller size and better battery life. And of course: almost half the price...
I just bought a brand new Unlocked LG V40 (QA7) for $250. It came with a $60 Otterbox case/clip with a pair of LG's Tone Pro's. The Unlocked variants also come with a pair of great sounding ear buds. The Unlocked V40 is GSM/CDMA compatible so T-Mobile/Sprints is running great on the V40. It has AWS (5CA) and BANDS 66 and 71 and gets about 25MB/s download speed when out in about. That's Megabytes (Big B) not megabits. The LG V40 is awesome. Juan Bagnell, onother tuber that also loves LG's phones. But, on his LG V40 review he said that the V40 doesn't support Slimport but, the Unlocked (QA7) version does. I got the phone and then first thing i tried was plugging in my QVS USB-c to HDMI adapter amdnthe phone simply said 2nd scree connected. So, the Unlocked LG V40 does have Slimport and when hooking It up to my LG C9 55in O-LED TV and the picture is flawless with absolutely no lag or latency. Also when checking the response time. It's good enough to watch fast and smooth 4K60 without any banding or blur. Checking the IMEI on the phone, i found out that it was manufactured on Dec.5th 2019 so, it must be a replacement phone for lost/stolen phones. LG also honors there 2 year promise so i got 2+1 years of warranty with registering the phone. Another awesome thing with the V40 is that it finally got ROOT thanks to the guys over at XDA. Also thanks to the one that provided the LG V35 engineering bootloader (SD845 SOC) file. I was able to change the thermal parameters to the Adreno 630 by modifying thermal threshold temps so the Adreno 630, as well as the SD845's 385 Kryo cores wouldn't throttle under low temps. With a Stock Android 10 rom now on the LG V40 i got the high-power 2.8GHz cores to overclock to 2.96GHz and the Adreno 630 to 725MHz giving it over 800Gflops of FP32 compute power. It's basically a SD845+ like the binned version inside the ASUS ROG Phone. LG is well known for setting there thermal throttling temps way to low, causing the phone to lose almost have its performance just after 2mins of high power usage. So i went in and created a thermal.conf.file and set the CPU and GPU parameters myself. No more famous microstutter in games or low long term performance. They only did that because no the solder joints disconnecting from the (SD808) in the LG G4 temp changes. I'm extremely happy with this 2 year old (5months old) flagship. I'm an audiophile so i had to go with LG because it has a 3.5mm headphone jack with its ESS SABRE qDAC which is a 32bit/192Khz qDAC with the jack using a 2Vrms port. Its strong enough to push my 650Ω Senhheiser 800HD's ($800) with no problem.
Great video. Just recieved mine today. The inhand feel is great. I wish it was the same size as the V30 that's much easier to manage with one hand. Got it for less than a Oneplus 6T on Ebay and I'm glad I chose this.
@@jeremyb4077 same here. I upgraded from a lg g flex, a couple of years old lol Edit: and iphone 4. Had both phones. Anyways v40 its awesome now the v50 came out aha dang
@@wevonox7941 nice. Lol fr imma wait till the v60 if they continue the line which i hope they do i upgraded from a V20 i love the quad Dac so much and the camera is good for me i usually use manual mode anyways
Still have the V30. Keeping this bad boy for a while. Great review by the way. And also the clear matte skins from SlickWraps works wonders for glass back phones especially if you have the color you want.
@The RaRa85 - I'm too late on my V30 which I replaced first with my insurance then upgraded to the V40. The V30 landed face first on a rock. The SlickWraps are the only protection I would go with now that you pointed them out. Most protectors make all phones look alike not to mention being clunky and thick. I was tired of buying a sleek sculpted phone only to have the beauty buried in a clunky protector. You can't tell an iPhone X from a budget phone using the existing solutions.
@@Davesworld7 exactly. I would only bother with a case for a phone that looked terrible actually. I don't know if that's a smart thing or not though.lol But definitely not adding bulk to a nice and sleek phone.
I really like the V40 but that notch is not my favorite, to say the least. An audiophile's & camera nut's delight. A very good offering but I question the smallish battery with all that power. I think LG did a fine job this time around!
its amazing but isnt it a little ironic its for audiophiles but no stereo speakers? even if they kept the boombox there, at least make the earpiece play too. As other reviewers said, Lg is always riiiight there but they just fall short by a hair. Now we just wait to see how many other companies rock the 3 camera setup too. A lot of mixed reviews on the battery though. But in my experience of binge watching reviews the average screen on time is about 4 hours. I really like Lg software im not sure why most reviewers hate it
First of all look up phone battles here on you tube.. The battery is not bad at all.. You ll see what I mean..the v40 has the boombox no need for stereo speakers it sounds Awesome extra louder if you place it flat on a box or any other flat surface...sound does come out of the earpiece...
Great follow-up review with some great points about features that are often overlooked by other reviewers (QC4, fast wireless charging, BT path routing). It's a very solid phone. Thanks for the update.
I gotta be honest but this is by far the best review on the LG phones I have ever watched, I'm simply in love with the LG ever since I switch I have been getting all my appliances from LG, I just got the LG OLED Signature Smart 4k tv, and I'm about to sell the one I bought months ago, LG's devices are really good and I'm not saying the others brands are bad, but LG makes differences
I just bought this phone refurb for cheap. It has a bad resale value which is good for us but is a great phone! Thanks for doing an amazing video for us who don't need the latest and greatest. I'm in IT and love tech but being on the older side, I've come to truly value what you need and not necessarily what you want...
Heeey, we think alike 👌😄 I still have my G2 and now using V30+, with no regret. There are some features I love on LG flagship: double click on each volume rocker that will bring me to camera or note, without having to unlock and launch the app. This surely speedup everything for me with so many instantaneous things to record/capture.
I think everyone slept in the LG V35, it has all the flagship specs, ip68, milstd rating, fast wireless charging, and great camera setup, and high quality headphone jack with HiFi surround sound... For around $600 or an even better deal now that the v40 is out
I want it.. I want it ... I want itttttttt 😂😍 I need that 3 camera system in my life 😍 Great Review and thank Goshhhh you're not biased and compare it to the V30!
Great Video with Great opinion...V40 looks Great with it's new Software (camera) processing too...and u said that the new updates improves the camera quality soo can u make video to its camera comparing with most other flagships such as Mate20 Pro , iPhone Xs Max...Pixel 3..Note9 ..im soo excited to see more videos coming from Android Headlines!!!
The upcoming Mate 20 Pro and OnePlus 6T camera reviews both feature quite a few samples from the latest V40 firmware. Stay tuned and thank you for watching!
I'm starting to think people don't like LG at all. Literally every other video brings down the brand. IMO, they make the best phones. I ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive.
You have the best take on all the reasons I love this phone...ps...it ain't silly... Wear a case... I got the phone based on bunch of reviews but this did it.. Im typing on my blue V40 in a spigen rugged armor
This video popped up in my feed. It's an old review but a good one. I'm watching it on my LG V35; a phone the reviewer would've loved because it's basically the hardware from the V40 fitted into the V30's shell. Same 845, same 6GB of RAM, same QuadDAC. The screen was also upgraded from the V30; however it's still a 6 inch pOLED with no notches. There's also no AI button on the side to interfere with his tripod and the power button is still in the fingerprint reader. The cameras of the V35 are straight out of the G7; but with the island rotated 90°, so you do lose the third camera of the V40, however what's here works great. The V35 seems to go for quite a few dollars less on the used market than the V40 does here in 2022; but, it's just as capable. That's my quick review.
I've had the LG v40thinq for 2 weeks now. It's decent but the speaker sucks. They say it's powerful and great, but the sound is directed away from you and not towards you, it becomes very annoying. You can't hear clearly. Seriously! Also, I cracked my screen and I didn't even drop it. I don't know how it happened, so it must not have taken much. If you get the screen replaced you have to send it in and they wipe the phone, fix it and send it back. Some carriers will give you a spare phone. The screen is so sensative that sometimes it selects things that your finger is close to but hasn't touched yet. The smaller battery is fine. It lasts the whole day for me. It doesn't need a bigger battery. The processor seems fast. Basically, It's a good phone that could have been great , had they made a more front facing speaker. Preferrably 2 front facing speakers like HTC makes. And a stronger design. This is just my opinion. Nice video by the way. There's always something to learn.
Thanks for the review of a great phone that the other "big name" you tuber tend to ignore. Never understood why other people are so up on Google butt when the only thing great about the pixel this year is the "still photos".
If you talking about the pixel and fast update, true that the pixel get it easily but not necessarily good. Check out the problems the pixel is having now. Personally I hate Android P. I hate all that gestures. And for the recent apps, I don't like it at all. I actually like the recent apps to be like the very old version of Android where I can see more than than 4 apps and choose the one I want. This new version only allow to see one app and I have to scroll across to get to the app.
Watching from my LG V40 ThinQ. Love it. Best phone out there (opiniated) Samsung and iPhone cost an arm and a leg while V40 is less priced with way more features than ANY iphone and exact same features as Note 9 without the S Pen.
If only LG had a bit more advertising and more aggressive (the need to!) Pricing policy, people would pay waaaay more attention. Great phones. Greater reviews. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for giving this device a fair review. I just watched a comparison video where a UA-camr compared this device with the Pixel 3 and concluded the Pixel's panel was much more color accurate than LG's. The reviewer clearly didn't know who provided the panels for the new Pixels. I've seen similar disingenuous criticisms for LG's speaker, cameras and UI. LG needs to include much bigger batteries in their phones but in every other way LG exceeds expectations. Nice review for a sorely underrated device.
They are biased usually to who is paying their sponsor but if u want a bad ass phone that isn't everywhere and i don't know why I looked at all Flagships n V40 n I phone 10XS MAX but I can't pay a GRAND n not have a high quality 3.5 hp jack n a hifi dac...I paid 490 thru Verizon
If we do not stop paying these prices they will keep going up. I was going to trade my V30 till I saw how much the V40 cost. Phones are more than a laptop now...That's crazy.
Thank you for this review. I think it's important for people to know about the quality of life features that OEM skins offer. I'm also a bit nervous about the Android P update coming to my Galaxy S9+. I like the modern and refined look of the Galaxy phones. I'm not sure about what I've seen so far on the new Samsung UI.
Finally someone else that feels the same way about software updates that i do. Google may have the latest version but companies like lg and Samsung will still have way more features and things to offer in previous versions than stock android will have for a couple more years

The V40 Thinq by LG, the most underrated smarthphone of 2018!
Watching this on my V20, getting this one to replace it, LG has upped their game so much in such a short period of time, that I can't help but feel happy for them, LG seems to have finally found their own way of doing things, great phone (except for that steep price tag)
Bad battery tough, 3300 for that massive screen?
Not a issue. 8-9 hours of SOT is daily. And when your under 20% the standby power is excellent.
All the updates to the camera make this my best phone ever. So glad I got it.

Finally, an accurate review of this great phone! I've had it for about a week and agree with everything you said. My one gripe is the same as yours, that it's just a bit too big and would have been better inside the V30 footprint. BUT I also totally appreciate how light they were able to make it!
Hows the battery life?
It's great for me!
Love my phone's big and heavy. Annoying have a medium and light phone, I hate that. I hope they keep making heavy and big phone's
I love this phone. Tried to find update once mine was damaged but after looking high and low went with another v40
Thanks for the 60 day update. I'd love to see a comparison of the cameras before and after the updates. I think most reviews of the cameras came from users who were given the phone by LG before it was updated and as such the camera doesn't receive good reviews (or at least compared to more polished flagships).
Most of The review that came the day this phone was released, all are using preproduction firmware. In fact, 2 days later LG released new updates, and that was still in v09a. The retail version always come with V10 firmware
We've been trying to include newer V40 samples in other camera reviews since then. The upcoming Mate 20 Pro camera review and OnePlus 6t camera review will include samples from the latest V10 firmware on the V40.
I find the camera very good, very usefull with great IQ and awesome pro like options
Good job on not just instantly shitting on LG. Ur one of the only reviewers that has really given it a fair shake
LG should hire a marketing team.
Please no, the price will skyrocket then.
I kinda feel sad for them being underrated but it’s actually good for us consumer because the price depreciate fast, i got my v50 for 380usd.
Their mobile division is only 13% of their business they give two fux if you buy their phones or not they actually lose money making them but I think the V series is the best line of phones there is I've only had Samsungs and apples
. But when I held the v40 how light and beautiful it was in morrocan blue... Manual cam is where it shines and can go against any phone out there... Pro video mode which Sammy took away and gutted the cam app wtf same song..
Glad tho cuz LG hp jack is amazing
They make their phones for themselves to buy means korea phone for Koreans only.
My first phone with Lg was the v20 & I have been searching for the last six months & liked the HTC 12+ & ended up buying the v40 & very happy with all the options the phone has to offer but the camera really did it for me...
Definitely the best phone for me!
@@freg1959 I am with Verizon here in Florida 😊
Great phone & very happy with the quality of the sounds but the camera is the best.... Highly recommend
Hey Eyal. I just wanted to know if the V40 has carried over the same Cine Log video mode from the V30.
After all the mixed reviews I've watch and alot of them are just people being brats about notches and specs that pretty much every other flagships have. You have sold me completely on the v40. It is my next upgrade from the s7 edge. Thank you.
i think for the price LG threw up, its understandable. The V40 is almost the V35 for $900 which is ridiculous. If the phone launched for $650 (OP6T competitor) and came with pre order goodies i think it would of done absolutely fantastic in sales and gotten incredible reception. A stock to stock V40 against an iphone Xs and Note 9 is just not going to be a contest. I mean my preference would be the V40, and probably yours too. But what about the rest of the market? LG needs to up consistency and marketing SIGNIFICANTLY and maybe they can stand out a lot more.
You're insane...
intelligent choice... LG V40 is the overall best phone of 2018... go for it
U won't regret it man..
LG phones are highly underrated.
somesh baidya agree. Sad.
After the disaster with the LG G2X, many walked away and never looked back.
So true.
Yeah, LG deserves the spotlight, unlike those Samsung and Apple phones.
Yeah like u
I recently acquired the LG G7 and I am happy with the terminal, the camera seems good, the sound is amazing and I do not bother the Notch also having little battery has lasted up to a day and a half.Little by little, LG is improving, hopefully it will continue to grow as it is almost taken into account ... Excellent Review greetings and blessings ...
Watching from my LG V30. I've owned 2 iPhones and NEVER again. Also use and own a Samsung GS7 (among other Galaxy phones), which isn't bad but really impressed with my LG. So impressed that the LG OLED TV is probably my next bigger purchase..
Two-year warranty does it for me. Can't wait for the V40 to be available in my country!
is it rare to have 2 yrs warranty?
@@jadenhau yup,pretty much every other OEM offers only an year warranry
Edit: warranty*
In de EU al electronics need to have a 2 year warranty (by law)
(that's why we don't understand that it is special for companies to do that)
@@sriharihs2554 where are you from?
Got the LG G7 but then swapped it out for this one, worth it! I especially love how they give you a 2 year warranty through LG for it 😊
I got my LG V20 two years ago thru Verizon and want to trade up I checked out the Moto Z3,Samsung G10+ but after seeing your great video I going to check out the LG V40. Thanks☺.
How good is your V20 as far as picture and video quality and do you think the V40 is a better overall phone than the V20????
Why does LG have to make the V40 so good and so expensive!?!? I have a G7 I bought the day it released on T-Mobile. I used a BOGO deal so I have to pay off my G7 over 24 months before I can upgrade in order to get the 2nd phone free. But I'll buy the V40 either as a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, or use money I get for Christmas towards it. This video completely sold the V40 for me
Great review, looks really good, triple camera set up including Wide Angle and telephoto lenses, Quality DAC, Headphone Jack, Great Speaker, SD Card support (it’s just so much easier and cheaper to get an SD Card for more storage rather than having to buy a new phone just to get additional storage), FM Radio, ip 68 water and dust resistance, Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliant) Bluetooth 5, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless Charging... and a Fast Charger included the box. Ticks so many boxes. Nice one.
This is looking like a strong contender to replace my LGG6 which has been superb (my first ever LG phone).
I have no idea where the hate comes from. The V30 display is one of the best I've seen. I own both the S9 and Pixel 3 and prefer the V30 display.
Shawn Snow Wow
Thank you for the thorough review of the v40! Giving LG the love it deserves. Also, cool keyboard you got there on your desk.
I have always owned an lg phone always love them my favorite so far is the v40
I have watched literally HUNDREDS of phone reviews and a good chunk of those were for LG phones as I've had a few as my own daily driver and yours is by far the best I've ever watched. You touched on points I've always considered as an LG owner for years and talked about it without the usual hint of disdain I hear in so many other reviews. Good job and you just got a new subscriber!
You are getting better and better with explaining about these phones.keep up the good work and your viewers will always support no matter how many views etc you are the person I would want to learn from when it comes to phones.🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Great video. About time someone gives this phone some love.
Just got yourself a new subscriber with this in-depth and honest review of LG's latest and greatest. I can only hope that your channel grows bigger and stronger to enlighten other consumers especially with all of the click-bait crap nowadays .
This phone is amazing fr edit I just got mine today and holy s*** seeing it in a video doesn't do it justice holding it in your hand and seeing that beautiful 6.4 inch display wow blazing Fast 2 most underrated smartphone of 2018
Man, the way you speak is very proper. I enjoyed listening 👍
This was a "Real" great review. People look at specs so the battery size was a bad choice fighting against the giants.
Yeah , but a smaller battery will only keep you going for so long when in heavy use , there is no substitute for more battery .
we saw the same thing with the galaxy note 8 , it could do ok in moderate use , but in heavy use it sucked .
i might add , these devices that are sold as productivity or camera centric devices if used for their desired use can really suck through the battery if used for that purpose .
my s8+ is ok , but in 2018 i would not consider anything with less than 3500 Mah .
@@mikldude9376 - The battery in the V40 is just fine. I got 14 hours of screen-on time yesterday on Quad HD resolution. If you don't have a V40, you'll never know.
@@adamschulte5903 yeah but what else did you use , gps for tagging , video for extended periods , higher brightness for outside use , start uploading and downloading files , play music while taking snaps , use gps for directions while bluetoothing music.
i could also get 12 hours sot on my S8+ , But once you start really using the phone ,
adding software , signing up for added permissions for different apps that use resources in the back ground ,
I guarantee your battery time will shrink right down my friend .
Anyone can get good battery if they don't use much of the phone s resources.
@@mikldude9376 - I used my GPS, Google Maps, and also watched some UA-cam videos for an hour. The big secret is clearing your recent apps frequently and not depending on your phone to do it. Yes, it has 6GB of RAM, but having all those apps open for hours at a time will drain the battery real quick. I keep my brightness on 70% and that does not drain the battery quicker than having it on 50%. No power settings have been tweaked. I also just got back from Hawaii, so I spent a lot of time snapping pictures and shooting video. The worst day for the battery was an 8 hour day because of a low signal area. If you are still looking to discredit me, you better dig deeper than that.
@@adamschulte5903 Not trying to discredit you bud , just saying , if you use the resources your phone is equipped with like a heavy user , you will not see 12 hours sot or the massive battery time you claim to be getting .
There is no magic , size of battery = X amount of energy , if you use lots of energy , you are going to run out of battery much sooner , simple maths .
Have a good day .
The way you dsecribed how you you like the design of LG phones 👌👌👌 couldn't have said it better! That's exactly me. I just love to hold an LG phone in my hand. And I'm very happy with the camera! The automatic mode may be not as good as in other phones, but the LG manual mode for videos and photos is the best!
The only thing I really don't like about the V40 and the G7 is that Google Assistant button and the external power button. One of the reasons I choose the G2 back then was because of the power button on the back. It was sooo practical! Hope LG gets back to it! 💓
Excellent. Shame on biased reviewers who accept every crap from iPhone and Samsung as invention and call LG's inventions as gimmick. I wish LG continues its mobile production.
I'm glad someone feels the same about LG the way I do. I won't be buying the LG V40 instead I'll be keeping my V30+. I'm considering LG V35 but I'm going to wait to see if the price is right especially since it will be BLACK FRIDAY soon. Great video
It's around 720-780 on most US carriers now
same here dude
Have the V30 and just ordered the V35 on sale from B&H for $599 for the upgraded processor (845). Also comes with Daydream View Reality Headset.
@@apaulmuller503 how is it so far?
A Paul Muller v35 sucks. I sent it back i have the v20. V40 is awesome.
Just got the v40 yesterday i love it!! I love lg phones I'm happy i had a g6 and was so disappointed
Wish there was other reviews like this out there,this video was WELL DONE!!!
The LG skin being outdated or something is just a bandwagon. It's honestly good, nothing wrong. I don't know why people hate it either.
Love this review and it convinced me to get the V40. Great job!
Went out with a group of people the other day and someone had the iphone 11 pro and another person had this lg phone. To my surprise the lg took way better photos. The video on the lg is probably the best I've ever seen on a smart phone.
It's cool, taste is subjective, so where other reviewers will prefer the pixel 3 for example and thus recommend that over this, as far as features that I care about, the v40 is definitely for me. Headphone jack, manual video controls and the different camera focal lengths are all great features so it's nice to hear a review for this phone by someone who values different things than the more popular reviewers :)
Sir i dont usualy comment but kudos for being honest really !!!
Thank you so much for a great review! This is probably the most unbiased review on the LG V40 that I have seen! Kudos!
I am liking my V40 more as I use it. T-Mobile has limited color selection meaning Black. Once I set up face recognition (yes I know not 100% secure) it instantly pops my screen up, so fast that I had to try it without either my face seen or my finger touching the sensor on the back to make sure it was not just always unlocked. Talk about effortless. For me it even works faster than the Iris scan of my Samsung S9+ though I am still stubborn to try Bixby on the Samsung as if I made up my mind saying,"I won't like it."
Since we are trading our privacy for convenience these days, might as well just use Google assistant. Duck Duck Go assistant would be cool to have though, they are the "we don't track you, we don't know anything about you and don't want to know" people.
Had the LG V40 for a week now, upgraded from the HTC U11. This phone is perfect imo. Amazing sound wired, great sound Bluetooth and really good from the phones speakers. The panel is next level nice and crisp. Everything is fast and snappy. Games that I stopped playing days ago but didn't close open right up to where I paused, those 6 gigs of ram coming in handy. I loved the U11, but this is far better in every way. People who complain about LG not having Android vanilla and using their own skin are just complainers and will find any dumb thing to drag down a product that has no flaws so far. Only area I am not sure on is the cameras since the weathing in NYC has been miserable lately. Highly recommend this phone if you can get it at a discount. $960 is too much for any phone, but no complaints at the little over $600 I got it via Sprint. Fantastic device.
Im have come to like LG a lot..the v30 won me..those little things like the curvy design and haptic feedback are awsome.
My v30 is in terms of speed on pair with mate 20pro. I was stunned that sd 835 is so close to kirin 980.I buyed mate only beacuse still after 2 months you cant preorder or buy v40 anywhere in europe.Lg has the worst distribution and marketing strategy in europe.
One of the best unbiased reviews I have seen. A real review
V40 is the best smartphone of 2018
No it's not.
I love LG phones. The LG G4 was amazing!! I'm hoping the second version of the LG One has better specs. If it does, that will be my next phone.
Love the review thank you, I've been hesitant to go with LG since the G4 heating up and constantly rebooting which LG could not fix. I might take a chance with this one since that was a long time ago.
Amazing review. Finally someone who goes in depth on the software. People always cry about wanting stock android etc. But I personally am very happy with LG software (I have a v30), the LG tweaks are more important to me than the new features android pie brings... And it's so very well optimized for the phone, the battery life is simply amazing.
That's one of the reasons why I think the v30 is almost the better phone than the v40. For a person like me who almost never uses the cameras, I'd rather have the v30 without notch, smaller size and better battery life. And of course: almost half the price...
This is called a solid review
I just bought a brand new Unlocked LG V40 (QA7) for $250. It came with a $60 Otterbox case/clip with a pair of LG's Tone Pro's. The Unlocked variants also come with a pair of great sounding ear buds. The Unlocked V40 is GSM/CDMA compatible so T-Mobile/Sprints is running great on the V40. It has AWS (5CA) and BANDS 66 and 71 and gets about 25MB/s download speed when out in about. That's Megabytes (Big B) not megabits. The LG V40 is awesome. Juan Bagnell, onother tuber that also loves LG's phones. But, on his LG V40 review he said that the V40 doesn't support Slimport but, the Unlocked (QA7) version does. I got the phone and then first thing i tried was plugging in my QVS USB-c to HDMI adapter amdnthe phone simply said 2nd scree connected. So, the Unlocked LG V40 does have Slimport and when hooking It up to my LG C9 55in O-LED TV and the picture is flawless with absolutely no lag or latency. Also when checking the response time. It's good enough to watch fast and smooth 4K60 without any banding or blur.
Checking the IMEI on the phone, i found out that it was manufactured on Dec.5th 2019 so, it must be a replacement phone for lost/stolen phones. LG also honors there 2 year promise so i got 2+1 years of warranty with registering the phone.
Another awesome thing with the V40 is that it finally got ROOT thanks to the guys over at XDA. Also thanks to the one that provided the LG V35 engineering bootloader (SD845 SOC) file. I was able to change the thermal parameters to the Adreno 630 by modifying thermal threshold temps so the Adreno 630, as well as the SD845's 385 Kryo cores wouldn't throttle under low temps.
With a Stock Android 10 rom now on the LG V40 i got the high-power 2.8GHz cores to overclock to 2.96GHz and the Adreno 630 to 725MHz giving it over 800Gflops of FP32 compute power. It's basically a SD845+ like the binned version inside the ASUS ROG Phone.
LG is well known for setting there thermal throttling temps way to low, causing the phone to lose almost have its performance just after 2mins of high power usage. So i went in and created a thermal.conf.file and set the CPU and GPU parameters myself. No more famous microstutter in games or low long term performance. They only did that because no the solder joints disconnecting from the (SD808) in the LG G4 temp changes. I'm extremely happy with this 2 year old (5months old) flagship. I'm an audiophile so i had to go with LG because it has a 3.5mm headphone jack with its ESS SABRE qDAC which is a 32bit/192Khz qDAC with the jack using a 2Vrms port. Its strong enough to push my 650Ω Senhheiser 800HD's ($800) with no problem.
I 💯 agree with your review. The LG G7 and V40 have been fantastic New phones.. I'm sure the G8 & V50 will be equally nice.
They are!!
If you play music, You need this! Loving mine.
The sound is really that good huh????
@@mercedesbenzs600bash For me it is. Maybe too pricey though. PEACE!
I got this phone last weel, love it so far I play music a lot even,at work and the speaker is pretty nice. Pretty nice phone all around
I loveeee LG skins..
And i love how i can customize the home button, screen shot button is a must for me.
Great video. Just recieved mine today. The inhand feel is great. I wish it was the same size as the V30 that's much easier to manage with one hand. Got it for less than a Oneplus 6T on Ebay and I'm glad I chose this.
Watching this on my lg v40 thinq😉
Do you have any lag??Is it smooth????
Same
Great review. Nice to see LG get the attention it deserves.

Still have the V30. Keeping this bad boy for a while. Great review by the way. And also the clear matte skins from SlickWraps works wonders for glass back phones especially if you have the color you want.
@The RaRa85 - I'm too late on my V30 which I replaced first with my insurance then upgraded to the V40. The V30 landed face first on a rock. The SlickWraps are the only protection I would go with now that you pointed them out. Most protectors make all phones look alike not to mention being clunky and thick. I was tired of buying a sleek sculpted phone only to have the beauty buried in a clunky protector. You can't tell an iPhone X from a budget phone using the existing solutions.
@@Davesworld7 exactly. I would only bother with a case for a phone that looked terrible actually. I don't know if that's a smart thing or not though.lol But definitely not adding bulk to a nice and sleek phone.
@@Davesworld7 Yea, but a wrap won't keep the glass from cracking on impact, will it? I thought it just protected from scratches.
I still love my V30, probably won't upgrade until the V50 comes out, but it looks like I have a lot to look forward to.
Well played!: a steady and intelligent review ( nothing flashy )
Oh damn!! 10 Years paused on your music player @ 7:21 ...on top of a stellar review. Subscribed. Rock on man!!!
Best honest review about an LG Smartphone. Cheers!
Had the v30 and now I upgraded to this phone. I loved the v30 and this one is even better! Couldn't be happier with this phone!
how's the battery life?
Wish there was a super thumbs up since you listen to 10 Years. #1 favorite band of all time!
Finally a good review for a lg phone. I am currently using the g7 thinq and i am totally in love with it. I am more than satisfied with it.
I really like the V40 but that notch is not my favorite, to say the least. An audiophile's & camera nut's delight. A very good offering but I question the smallish battery with all that power. I think LG did a fine job this time around!
its amazing but isnt it a little ironic its for audiophiles but no stereo speakers? even if they kept the boombox there, at least make the earpiece play too. As other reviewers said, Lg is always riiiight there but they just fall short by a hair. Now we just wait to see how many other companies rock the 3 camera setup too. A lot of mixed reviews on the battery though. But in my experience of binge watching reviews the average screen on time is about 4 hours. I really like Lg software im not sure why most reviewers hate it
First of all look up phone battles here on you tube.. The battery is not bad at all.. You ll see what I mean..the v40 has the boombox no need for stereo speakers it sounds Awesome extra louder if you place it flat on a box or any other flat surface...sound does come out of the earpiece...
Great follow-up review with some great points about features that are often overlooked by other reviewers (QC4, fast wireless charging, BT path routing). It's a very solid phone. Thanks for the update.
I gotta be honest but this is by far the best review on the LG phones I have ever watched, I'm simply in love with the LG ever since I switch I have been getting all my appliances from LG, I just got the LG OLED Signature Smart 4k tv, and I'm about to sell the one I bought months ago, LG's devices are really good and I'm not saying the others brands are bad, but LG makes differences
I just bought this phone refurb for cheap. It has a bad resale value which is good for us but is a great phone! Thanks for doing an amazing video for us who don't need the latest and greatest. I'm in IT and love tech but being on the older side, I've come to truly value what you need and not necessarily what you want...
My LG2 is getting sketchy, time to step up. LG 40 gets the best reviews on Verizon. Wanted a Pixel 3xl, got a lot of bad reviews.
Heeey, we think alike 👌😄 I still have my G2 and now using V30+, with no regret. There are some features I love on LG flagship: double click on each volume rocker that will bring me to camera or note, without having to unlock and launch the app. This surely speedup everything for me with so many instantaneous things to record/capture.
I love that feature.. I love doin camera duals with my V49 haha
I think everyone slept in the LG V35, it has all the flagship specs, ip68, milstd rating, fast wireless charging, and great camera setup, and high quality headphone jack with HiFi surround sound... For around $600 or an even better deal now that the v40 is out
I want it.. I want it ... I want itttttttt 😂😍 I need that 3 camera system in my life 😍 Great Review and thank Goshhhh you're not biased and compare it to the V30!
The wide angle camera is amazing! :)
Wide angle has long been a huge advantage for LG. Super pleased to see them continue to use it.
@@androidheadlines - It really brings some pictures to life. I had fun using the wide-angle lens on my V40 in Hawaii this week :)
Joey Rueff i just got it today I'm so happy with it!!
Joey Rueff Not to spoil everyone’s fun but it’s just a phone ppl lol
Great Video with Great opinion...V40 looks Great with it's new Software (camera) processing too...and u said that the new updates improves the camera quality soo can u make video to its camera comparing with most other flagships such as Mate20 Pro , iPhone Xs Max...Pixel 3..Note9 ..im soo excited to see more videos coming from Android Headlines!!!
Also interested how it compares now after camera updates to Mate 20 PRO.
The upcoming Mate 20 Pro and OnePlus 6T camera reviews both feature quite a few samples from the latest V40 firmware. Stay tuned and thank you for watching!
The Best V40 Review on UA-cam.
I'm starting to think people don't like LG at all. Literally every other video brings down the brand. IMO, they make the best phones. I ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive.
You have the best take on all the reasons I love this phone...ps...it ain't silly... Wear a case... I got the phone based on bunch of reviews but this did it.. Im typing on my blue V40 in a spigen rugged armor
This video popped up in my feed. It's an old review but a good one. I'm watching it on my LG V35; a phone the reviewer would've loved because it's basically the hardware from the V40 fitted into the V30's shell. Same 845, same 6GB of RAM, same QuadDAC. The screen was also upgraded from the V30; however it's still a 6 inch pOLED with no notches. There's also no AI button on the side to interfere with his tripod and the power button is still in the fingerprint reader. The cameras of the V35 are straight out of the G7; but with the island rotated 90°, so you do lose the third camera of the V40, however what's here works great. The V35 seems to go for quite a few dollars less on the used market than the V40 does here in 2022; but, it's just as capable. That's my quick review.
Obsession overload. Years after and I still want this phone!!
If I needed a new phone right now and I don't, I would absolutely buy this phone.
My first was the K series and although a budget phone it azed me which led to the V 40 purchase... Still rocking it in almost 7/20
Now, if it could only be released in Sweden I'd get it in a heartbeat and replace my old iPhone 6
Best honest v40 review 🏆. Subscribed
I've had the LG v40thinq for 2 weeks now. It's decent but the speaker sucks. They say it's powerful and great, but the sound is directed away from you and not towards you, it becomes very annoying. You can't hear clearly. Seriously! Also, I cracked my screen and I didn't even drop it. I don't know how it happened, so it must not have taken much. If you get the screen replaced you have to send it in and they wipe the phone, fix it and send it back. Some carriers will give you a spare phone. The screen is so sensative that sometimes it selects things that your finger is close to but hasn't touched yet. The smaller battery is fine. It lasts the whole day for me. It doesn't need a bigger battery. The processor seems fast. Basically, It's a good phone that could have been great , had they made a more front facing speaker. Preferrably 2 front facing speakers like HTC makes. And a stronger design.
This is just my opinion. Nice video by the way. There's always something to learn.
best LG phone review ever . hands down great job 👍👍👍👍
Finally someone with a positive review on this device cheers
Thanks for the review of a great phone that the other "big name" you tuber tend to ignore. Never understood why other people are so up on Google butt when the only thing great about the pixel this year is the "still photos".
Good software that everyone can get easily
If you talking about the pixel and fast update, true that the pixel get it easily but not necessarily good. Check out the problems the pixel is having now. Personally I hate Android P. I hate all that gestures. And for the recent apps, I don't like it at all. I actually like the recent apps to be like the very old version of Android where I can see more than than 4 apps and choose the one I want. This new version only allow to see one app and I have to scroll across to get to the app.
Watching from my LG V40 ThinQ. Love it. Best phone out there (opiniated) Samsung and iPhone cost an arm and a leg while V40 is less priced with way more features than ANY iphone and exact same features as Note 9 without the S Pen.
If only LG had a bit more advertising and more aggressive (the need to!) Pricing policy, people would pay waaaay more attention. Great phones. Greater reviews. Keep up the great work!!
We wouldn't see so good prices then
Thank you for giving this device a fair review. I just watched a comparison video where a UA-camr compared this device with the Pixel 3 and concluded the Pixel's panel was much more color accurate than LG's. The reviewer clearly didn't know who provided the panels for the new Pixels. I've seen similar disingenuous criticisms for LG's speaker, cameras and UI. LG needs to include much bigger batteries in their phones but in every other way LG exceeds expectations. Nice review for a sorely underrated device.
They are biased usually to who is paying their sponsor but if u want a bad ass phone that isn't everywhere and i don't know why I looked at all Flagships n V40 n I phone 10XS MAX but I can't pay a GRAND n not have a high quality 3.5 hp jack n a hifi dac...I paid 490 thru Verizon
Man that keyboard...
If we do not stop paying these prices they will keep going up. I was going to trade my V30 till I saw how much the V40 cost. Phones are more than a laptop now...That's crazy.
Wayne Hanner I Agree 💯%
Why not buy a sandblasted back glass version? There are 3 colors of them. It doesn't leave fingerprint at all and very beautiful. BTW awesome review.
Thank you for this review. I think it's important for people to know about the quality of life features that OEM skins offer. I'm also a bit nervous about the Android P update coming to my Galaxy S9+. I like the modern and refined look of the Galaxy phones. I'm not sure about what I've seen so far on the new Samsung UI.
BasslinesNYC I agree 💯👍
Finally someone else that feels the same way about software updates that i do. Google may have the latest version but companies like lg and Samsung will still have way more features and things to offer in previous versions than stock android will have for a couple more years
LG phones are really underrated. The G7 is also an excellent phone, that can be had for less than 500 dollars, yet is still overlooked.
dude
you really brought many of my points about why LG phones.
He nailed it... Music lovers buy this phone... Or ppl who like to shoot bomb ass videos that u can edit tf outta
I've had the V35 for two weeks (?) now. It's great. Being an up-spec'd V30 makes it a great choice.
