LG V40 ThinQ | Love & Hate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- The LG V40 'ThinQ' has finally launched in the UK in 2019, and I've been using it as my personal smartphone. Ahead of my full V40 review, here's my love/hate list after a few days, so you can get a brief idea of the best and worst features of LG's super-premium handset.
While I still love LG's excellent G7 flagship phone, and I'm hoping the upcoming G8 will keep up standards, the V40 has a lot to offer - especially in the camera stakes. The ultra-wide and telephoto lenses help the LG V40 to stand toe-to-toe with Huawei's Mate 20 Pro when it comes to flexibility, as well as photo and video quality. As usual, this ThinQ phone boasts an incredible range of features, courtesy of LG's smart UI. And those specs are strong.
As well as the swift performance, the V40 boasts amazing battery life. However, we're not such big fans of the charger...
And other aspects of LG's first 2019 UK launch also impress us less - such as the lack of a dazzling finish, that dedicated Google Assistant button and the older Android Oreo OS.
Stay tuned for a full review of the LG V40, and you can see my full camera comparison with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro right now!
That triple-lens rear camera is a serious rival to the Mate 20 Pro - check out my tri-camera comparison for a closer look at photo and video quality :)
Dude look up phone battles here on you tube.. Than look up battery test... You will be very surprised.. This battery is awesome...
Chris you didn't mention anything about haptic feedback as LG phones have the best haptic feedback according to many UA-camrs and other sites! Also the red colour of this phone looks awesome you should check it in a vid! And would you go for Note 9 Or LG v40?
@@zenitso Did you watch it?
@@briandsouza7854 LG phones do not have the best haptic feedback, my G6's vibration motor is louder than it is strong.
@@begonethot4869 They said it for the v30. They introduced some new tech in their mobiles which imitates Apple phones taptic motor. Google it.
I got my lg v40 a few days ago and I love it for one has alot of cool, features and the front and back cameras are really amazing.
Hey I'm thinking about buying his phone but I can't seem to find out whether it has been updates to android 9 or even 10 can you help me?
Yesss. That's what has me sold ❤❤❤
@@asal7389 it has update to Android 10
@@pacetnyk5978 a tiny bit late 😂 I've already gotten a new phone
@Pacetnyk thanks tho
Just bought one as a cheap replacement. It's a nice device for being a older model 👍
That one fingered salute over the plug had me in stitches! 🖕 Been there myself. 🤣😂🤣
I also enjoyed the fight scene. Never thought I'd say that in a phone review. 🥊
G7...love it...thanks for covering the "Big Brother"...
I got distracted after Oreo was mentioned. Its like LG wants to fail on their phone division.. I mean the hardware is fine, but battery and software updates suck compared to the competition.. too bad
Your wrong invesigate before you comment..Battery is great.. It's had 3 updates here in the states since it was released..Thier has been problems with Pie.. That's why Lg didn't include it.. It will have Pie here in US in june..Recommend you watch the video On phone battles here on you tube...Battery test.. You will be surprised with the outcome..Battery size does not matter.. How they optimized the battery for it to last is what counts.. Check out the video.. Get back to me when you finished watching it..
@@dandaman5599 Pie doesn't have problems, the problem is LG having the worst software team in Android that is always the slowest to give updates.
As for optimisation, the only thing LG optimises is the battery, other then that they lack software support and optimisation
@@boltmix7294 like I said above updates are awesome..I just got another update yesterday my 4rth since I got my phone since phone has been selling in the US..which has been 3 months since it's debut here in the states.. Pie will be coming in June..My phone just got another great camera feature just yestetday with the latest update..improved Quality and stability on all cameras..Now it has a new feature called Penta shot..its so cool...Love my phone.it seems to be a little faster to now..
OMG i lost it when you punched it and head butted it@1:47...ROFL:):)
Amazing videos but I like the bland designs and not having any fingerprints!
Sir can I buy lg v40 now.I am worried about battery.tell me
What Else is needed.....awesome phone it is
Just got my v40 bought off amazon new in box factory unlocked for $230 out the door sooooooo much phone for under 300 best deal on any phone imo the thing I love most is the screen feeling on my fingers it feels like silk and the speaker setup is down right bonkers for the price I don't even use my Bluetooth speaker with this phone just put it on the table and watch everyone light up and ask you where this much sound is coming from Oh and it is running pie I would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone looking for a new phone save your self 600 bucks and get a flagship phone for less than half of what other phones cost this phone is worth way more than what you can buy it for!!!
Should one buy this phone instead of the LG G8 ?
I own the V40 and it has a gorgeous screen with pretty incredible 4k videos and crisp photos by any smartphone standards. It's very underrated and very fun to use. The quad DAC is incredible. Not perfect to some but perfect for me.
Depends on your price range. If you can get the g8. It has the latest tech and is an upgrade over the v40
@@AllThingsLex battery life?
@@harisankard1404 Fantastic. I can go all day without recharging... unless I'm playing Call of Duty or streaming for hours (like Netflix) but I can definitely watch a full movie, browse, social media etc and only recharge once or twice. Like any device, if you're streaming content all day long, you'll drain the battery much faster. Turn the brightness down a bit and save battery life easily.
@@AllThingsLex exactly. Same experience with my v40
why is the screen flickering?
Because of the camera's shutter speed. Its not the phone. This is pretty common when people don't try and mess around with the camera settings to get screens to stop flickering. It's not an issue at all and you wont see any flickering in real life.
I thought your comment on the plug what they were thinking it's about me and my connector next to my nightstand and how perfectly that fits with it going to the side
Screen was all wavy man
You do realize thats the camera. Not the screen. Right?
Where can u even buy an lg g7 or V40 in the UK coz they aren't available on carphone warehouse
Yeah also wondering
Update LG list clove as an official seller of the V40 on their website but only seem to be selling Moroccan Blue. The G7 is also available at Cex used so is likely also available at certain retailers

The best phone on earth v40
Great video!!!!!
Please what's the Amps of your LG charge and I would appreciate if I could see the a clear pic of the charger because I lost mine I've been buying rubbish. please I would love to buy the original.. thanks you sir
LG is killed by unfair reviews by reviewers. Bad. LG introduced everything which is being followed by iPhone and Samsung etc.
it is good on lowlight
I've had the V20, 30, and 40. The cameras are the worst I've ever dealt with. I took more blurry photos than good ones.
I will admit, I've never put a case on any of them because they do take a good beating.
agree
U took more blurry photos... I had v10, v20, v30 and now v40.. Never had those issues unless u didn't know how to take still photos with this handsets...
I thought the v20 had good color reproduction. V30 and v40 definitely lack in color accuracy
Спасибо за видео . хорошо заснята! А я считаю что это прекрасный телефон. Внешни он шикарен.
The LG V series should have kept the removable battery, it made it unique. The V20 made waves when it came out, in part because content creators liked that feature. Without it, the 30 and 40 just got lost in the shuffle. Water resistance is good, but they should have figured out a way to do it while still having a swappable battery. It's like "why should I get an LG and not a Samsung or an Apple?" Simple question right? Are you going to convince people that the cameras are better? How about the screen, or the build? Being able to say "because the LG has a removable battery" was a simple and compelling reason to choose LG over the others. They were foolish to let that go.
I now have a v40 and had a v20 and I really missed the removable battery and also the infrared blaster for remote control. V40 does not have an IR blaster. I know it has a Wi-Fi remote control but I IR really came in handy. I am loving this v40.
this one or 6z or pixel; which is better in camera/video and screen ? ty
Camera versatility: LG.
Up-to-date software and security patches: Pixel.
Battery life: Asus 6Z.
good spurt
" A dedicated button on the side of the phone for it is as much of an use as a swift kick to the testicles" 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 u r a bloody mad genius mate. Simply love ur videos. 👍

Sir Nice video ۔ Please sir LG G8 battery life Make video I'm Request
It's not a surprise that LG looks like a underdog if they release their phone more than 4 months after introduction..
And LG has so much more stupid ideas like reducinv the wide angle to a level that it's almost useless, using a assistent button that isn't remapable, using small sensors in a huge phone etc...
Own the phone first before you start critizing.. The phone came out 3 months ago..it was introduced one month before it's release.. Don't know what your talking about..wide angle works awesome.. All sensors are great takes Awesome Pics and beautiful video records killer Hi Fi stereo sound...
Yeah o own it and it's better than other LG phones and phone I have had before and up there with the competition (Note9, iPhone XS Max, and more)
@@zabryant01 right Its a awesome phone all around..some people just comment without even having the phone.. Don't know what they are talking about..
@@dandaman5599 well if you compare it to samsung.... They release faster.... G5 introduce the same as S7 yet s7 sell first.... It sad and i bought s7e because of that but having use G4 and V20 there's tons love and hate for this device and i could not recommend any LG phone for casual user. While i LOVE the HIFI wide angle and their build oh and their mic and manual video but... For casual user... The auto mode is bad compare to samsung iphone and pixel, the display has retention issue(has been fix in V30 and up) and coming from G4 and bought V20 i feel some downgrade in some area like the selfie cam is way worst i mean g4 has best selfie IMO at the time it release but v20 had the worst selfie in flagship market. And their software update is still suck, I've try v30 with my friend phone its nice the display is great the wide angle are great even better but the front cam still suck and i might miss the removable battery. This is why it's not selling as good as samsung 😔 and i can't recommend LG phone to everyone i know till i know that they can use the phone inside out like put GCam etc. But if you ask me will i get v40? Sure I'd pick v40 over Galaxy note 9 will i recommend it to other? Depends.
Oh yeah that is ky experience with LG which i still use today(V20) I'm gonna up to g7 this year since that's the last LG phone in my country so sad.
@@laurents1906 Your taliking past tense older phones older technolgy Lg has improved on most of things you mentioned you heard the reviewer in the video its a great phone...Updates I just had my 4rth update in 2 months..Here in US it came out 3 1/2 months ago...Company wise you can't compare it to samsung of course they will put out first.. They have the money to do what they want..LG is not to big of a company compared to samsung but yet make great products..Dispite being a small company still go toe to toe with the much bigger companies with the money with thier products
Is it too difficult for LG to follow Xiaomi's business model? I see LG is shrinking like Sony is now. Both LG and Sony want to be stubborn, be my guest. Such companies don't deserve to even exist.
Why Lg is doing good.. They are rated 3rd place in US right behind Apple samsung..7 worldwide top smarphone manufacture..I think that's awesome coming from a small company like LG competing with the best companys of the smartphone world..
Like making their phone very cheap and put ads on my mobile device? No thanks.
Ya music lovers buy LG best audio phone peeiod
@@laurents1906 Actually there is an option to turn off ads. If Sony and LG want to compete again, they should rethink their strategy. Constantly stay at the premium price but lack the support from the company, with Huawei, OnePlus and Xiaomi taking the lead, they will never survive in long term. They'll slowly quietly phased out.
