Still I wouldn’t t call it a gaming phone since it lacks a physical gamepad and the GPU is the same found in basically any other Android phone from 2017.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I would agree, it doesn't have a physical game controller and I wish it did. But honestly it's really down to the screens refresh rate and stereo speakers. I've given up on mobile gaming for a phone ages ago. The only place you can still find game centric phones are in china. I recently purchased a jxd 5800 and it works well for emulating old devices, snes, Genesis which I'm fine with. But still. Doubtful we will ever have something along the lines of the XP.
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
It looks like Razer is working on a laptop dock called Project Linda that is rumored to arrive with the Razer Phone 2:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/razer-project-linda-phone-2-september-rumor/

I'd like to see them also do a gamepad dock like Motorola's Moto Z Gamepad mod. I wish Sony would do something like that for their phones, but I guess they think that having DualShock 4 support is enough.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
The topic is fairly straight forward. I don't want to take away from what the V30 offers but it seems like a fair question and discussion to have with so many other phones coming out in the same time frame.

Today, Razer finally announced their Razer phone and it is available for pre-order with an estimated delivery date of November 17th. The US998 non-carrier version of the V30 is currently estimated to finally be available on December 5th. The Razer phone costs $699US where the V30 costs $800US. That said, here are the bands supported by the Razer phone. Yeah, no CDMA. :P

GSM: Quad-band GSM UMTS: B1/2/3/4/5/8

LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/66

TDD LTE: B38/39/40/41 TD-SCDMA: B34/39

With 8GB of RAM, a 120Hz screen with adjustable refresh rate, SD835, dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a 4000mAh battery, and even a THX certified DAC, although through a USB-C to headphone adapter that comes in the box. Stock Android (N) with an update to Oreo early next year and 2 years of software updates, Nova Launcher Prime as the stock launcher, SIM unlocked out of the box, and... here's the kicker. Unlockable bootloader that hasn't been stripped of fastboot commands!

The V30 seems to offer the better rear camera experience, at least from what I have seen so far. The front-facing camera might be a bit different though with the Razer phone having an 8MP front-facing camera. The V30 definitely has the better style and look to it though, although aesthetics are purely personal taste. The V30 (H932SV) supports T-Mobile's 600MHz band 71 where the Razer phone doesn't and I haven't heard of anyone mentioning WiFi Calling and VoLTE support as of yet. The V30 also offers wireless charging but the Razer phone offers Quick Charge 4+.

So... Does anyone think there is still a reason to buy a V30, especially at the current pricing of $800US?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] knives of ice:
i'd NEVER ever again buy a phone with huge bezels like that razer phone has. the thing looks like a block. the design is really as bad as it could possibly be
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I totally understand that. The look of it... It does look like a brick. That is the hard thing about it. It has a lot of other things going right for it but... it's just damn ugly! :P
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No Qi wireless, no sale.

That's my line in the sand whether an OEM really wants my money.

But I like the battery and front-facing speakers. LG should copy that! No reason any phone with a 6" screen can't have 4000 mAh battery. My 5.2" Moto XT1225 (1440p AMOLED) has a 3900 mAh battery!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] moist_line:
hmmm... there are trade offs depending on what you are after on a device. I got my t-mobile v30 for $600 brand new so I suppose it's a pretty decent deal.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
$600 for a V30 would sell me, especially from T-Mobile. For me, wireless charging doesn't matter all that much but the look of that brick just seems like such a step backwards in phone design. I get that it is based off of the Nexbit Robin but still. Razer could have done better design wise. Just about everything else ticks all of the right things for me. If you don't mind me asking. How did you get $200 off of the full price of the V30 from T-Mobile?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] moist_line:
I found a seller on craigslist in my local area. He said he won it a raffle from work and doesn't need it. :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Nice! Enjoy it! It's definitely an excellent device and you have band 71 to get the best performance out of the 600MHz network as it starts to go live.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] moist_line:
It seems like 2017 is the year for great competition in the smartphone market. For the price and value however, I find the Essential Phone very competitive. I saw a number of refurbished models on eBay for $390 or so. Possibly return units that look quite flawless. No headphone jack though.

Jcsww, what phone are you thinking of getting?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I want a V30. It's just there are so many inaccuracies about the bands supported in each model of the V30. I am currently up in Canada so everything sold up here is the H933 model. Each carrier up here lists different band support which also conflicts with what LG directly told me. I'd rally like the unlocked US998 but December 5th is a bit far away to wait and the price of it seems to be too high for what is out there for competition. Band 71 would be a bonus as a T-Mobile customer but for the right price, I'd forget about it until my next upgrade. According to B&H, the US998's non-carrier version band support sucks! I would like to be able to root my device but I also think I could potentially live without root if I got the H932SV from T-Mobile.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nay Tyzon:
I'd like to think that by Dec 5, LG will have dropped the priced (given the added competition and mixed reviews), and/or there will be some sweet sales.

I'm a Verizon customer and can take advantage of the $200 gift card and free Daydream headset, but I'm likely going to hold out for the unlocked model to see how well that plays on Verizon's network. I'm fairly confident I'll find a better deal than what Verizon is offering at the moment.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] psawjack:
So I see that you put all of the details of the upcoming Razer phone. Are you asking if the V30 is a better buy over the Razer phone? Well what are you looking for in a phone?

Really big phone=Razer

Screen to size ratio=V30

Best headphone audio=V30

Great sounding stereo speakers=Razer

Price=Razer

Carrier compatibility=V30

Wi-Fi calling (TMO)=V30

Volte calling (TMO)=V30

Screen=Razer

8Gb RAM [emoji3]=Razer

Gaming=Razer

Smoothness=Razer

I'm sure there is more but that's what I've got so far.

I know the wait for the unlocked sucks but fact of the matter is that manufacturers worry about carrier versions first and no-brands second. Unless you have some weird or obscure carrier you can probably have a carrier phone tomorrow so the wait for the unlock is on you.

I'd say wait for the V30. After a couple months the Razer phone will be as cool and desirable as a Marshall London phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
replying to my own post -- also NO headphone jack.

Somewhat scathing review:

https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/1/...ndroid-gaming-specs-release-date-price-photos
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I agree that a price drop is definitely needed and sooner than later. LG doesn't seem to understand what they are doing though. The V30's hype was ruined by delays and a reveal too early compared to the release date. When I see a phone debuted, I want to buy it shortly after, not months later. The more time that passes, the more other things are closer to release. CES and MWC are not too long after the holiday season.

Headphone audio going to the V30 is debatable. No one has really tested the Razer audio from the 24-bit DAC Razer is using enough to post a review of it, at least not yet. I don't care about gaming on a phone either and I don't know many that actually do but I am sure someone does. The screen on the Razer phone has got to have better viewing angles over the V30. The ability to speed up the processor and adjust the refresh rate and resolution are all nice aspects on a stock Android experience. Even though the Razer phone looks like a ginormous greyish black brick, the specs and price have left the V30, at least in my opinion, looking stupid with their too late for a flagship release. LG has managed to tease me with a product I really wanted and then has made me not want it by the time I could actually get it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Razer Phone doesn't have a headphone jack. You have to use a dongle like with the iPhone and Pixel.

Plus, I don't think it's debatable, considering the other stuff Razer messed up on. See my previous post, above yours.

Even in the "bad" reviews for the LG V30, critics praise the LG V30 32-bit quad DAC:

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3235324/android/lg-v30-review.html

And again, this was a bad review -- but he was honest about what he considered the good points.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] asawadude:
I bought my LG V30 a month ago. As a Verizon customer, I was eligible for $102USD trade-in value for my old Note 4 and a promotional $200USD gift card. Out of pocket expense was $538USD not including taxes and fees. I was originally going to wait for the Pixel 2 XL or an iPhone X, but the cost savings combined with the quad DAC, headphone jack, dual cameras, and the centrally located rear fingerprint scanner was enough reason for me to pull the trigger on the V30. LG also provided a free Google Daydream and a 2nd year of warranty coverage.

So far, I've been very pleased with the V30 with zero buyer remorse.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It may not have a headphone jack but the adapter does come in the box. I would like to see some more reviews on Razer's offering before I call one or the other to be better. Currently though, LG's audio implementation is by far the best out there. However, the Razer phone doesn't officially come out for a couple of more days. By then, there should be some more in-depth reviews.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
A) I haven't done dongles since my G1 and I will never do dongles again. There's just no reason for it and it gets old fast.

B) Probably not a good idea to buy this first gen product.

C) Probably not a good idea to bank on x years of updates until they've made x years of the product. I had to look up who Razer even is. Without carrier distribution in the US, this thing will see such a limited release that I'd question if they're even still making phones in a few years. Look at the facts. This is basically a product that some other team started and did a "one and done" then offloaded to someone else while they still could. And it's this last point that I'd really worry about and might make a lot of other people hesitant. Which could possibly lead to an early demise of this part of the company. They really have to make a compelling case for a lot of people to jump into the deep end of a cold pool quickly.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Lots of valid points there and i agree with the dongle. If you can't charge your phone and still listen to wired headphones, that is a deal breaker, at least for me. I am all for competition, especially when it comes in cheaper with those specs. Whether it is the product for me or anyone else is an individual choice. Hopefully it makes LG try harder and do better with the V40 launch. The V30 product isn't the issue in my opinion. It was LG's failure to deliver that product in a timely manor.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
That would be assuming LG, or any company, sees this as competition. Which at this point I doubt any of them do. Sure it has a couple of impressive specs but that's it. It has limited distribution from an unproven company with a hideous design that's already getting a lukewarm reception at best. I don't think any established company is going to take this thing all that seriously.

________________

As for LG's timeliness, they did the same thing with the V20. At this point if they cleaned up their act in time for the V40, I'd be pleasantly surprised. In the end game though I'm not really worried. Waiting a few weeks isn't really anything when you realize the development cycle of a given product. It's not like another company is going to use that few weeks time between announcement and launch to suddenly sneak out a better product. That window just isn't long enough to do that and the supply chain doesn't flip fast enough to seriously one up that quickly, even if you could get your developers and QA to move fast enough. (Which we don't. Oh dear FSM we don't.)

No, what you're seeing in all of these complaints of "taking forever to launch" is a lack of patience from a very small slice of the overall consumer pie chart and an interesting psychological study into some rather boorish and childish behavior. There is no other way to explain it. Either you really do want the product in question and can wait a few weeks or you just have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to throw it at the first thing you can.

Look at the iPhone X launch. How long between it's announcement and actual in hands? It was announced on September 12th? Couldn't even pre-order until a few days ago! (Last Friday) Won't ship until at least tomorrow! (One week after pre-orders opened.) Oh, and that's if you're lucky as they seem to be having supply issues and might only get to ship half if that. That's 8 weeks before it is in ANY consumer's hands. Between announcement and in hands I had my V30 in 5 weeks and that was waiting from a US carrier, not even the lesser wait if you were in LG's home market. And I'm just not seeing the same type of complaining from those waiting on iPhones as I see on the Android tech blogs and forums about LG's V launches. It's absolutely bewildering to see the difference.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chiadrum:
Hi all. I currently have an S7 provided by my company on Verizon here in Raleigh NC. but I am just not a Samsung guy.

Wasn't really considering this phone but after the price drop I stopped by the Sprint store tonight to check out the display models. They had 2 on hand. One black and one white. After all the negativity surrounding this phone I wasn't expecting much. I have to say that I came away very impressed. Both units were as speedy and smooth as any phone I have ever seen. On both units the camera launched quickly and took clear photos with plenty of detail in normal and mono mode. No lag, crashes or any other issues with the camera or any other apps. The build number had 16 in it and I know the build number 20 came out that a lot of people are calling a night and day difference. I guess my only concern at this point would be the compatibility with Verizon. Any issues there? I have seen some complaints scattered. Not sure if any of the updates addressed that. Also, how is the audio quality? I have to say the Verizon HD mode gives me really good call quality and I listen to a lot of music on the phone as well so that is important for me. That being said, the music quality on the Samsung is a sore spot. Much worse than my previous phones which have always been rooted and Rom'd with Viper audio.

Anyone have Viper working on an Essential? How is the call and music quality in general? Is Verizon as a carrier a deal breaker?

Thanks in advance.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
I would 100% recommend this phone, especially at its new price. I've been using it on Verizon since released, with no issue. HD voice /VoLTE working fine here. I had it fully functional and configured on my previous phone so I just popped my sim card in and enabled entrance lte in the settings and I was good to go.

The feel, size and build quality are unmatched in my opinion. I like the feel and size better then my Pixel 2 xl tbh. The camera is much better than it was initially, nothing amazing but pretty good overall. The steady updates have certainly been promising and essential has been very transparent with its user base. The biweekly AMAs have been great.

As far as audio, I read the included adapter is actually really high quality producing great sound. The little I used it out sounded great but I don't have any high end headphones any more.

Hey all, I use Total Recall app exclusively on Android phones and so far, every single phone I've had from low, to mid-range, to flagships, all worked fine... that is until I got this phone. Another reason I don't use it for my main line. I've tried all the different options with the exception of the root option since root isn't currently attainable (easily) but none worked. Anyone have any other call recorder app suggestions that they've used and actually works? I don't plan on wasting my time trying other apps since root appears to be coming in the near future (hopefully). However, if anyone else has been using a call recorder app that works, I don't mind trying that particular app. TIA!
