[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Er, the camera was a big improvement on the G4. I never would have dreamt LG'd provide a camera with as extensive manual controls compared to the iphone like camera they put on the G3. They saw what sammy did on the K zoom and actually topped it. Sammy forgot they ever made the k with the design of the s6's camera

The G4 had a subtly curved screen. The G3 was flat screen. Great in the hand with leather backs. Case ? what bloody case, the phone never felt like you'd drop it.

OEM battery charger, finally they got a clue that an independent charger is essential OUTSIDE Korea if replaceable batteries are ever to make sense. The g3 didn't have that.

What mistake. They added video controls and better recording audio which nobody had. A robust and unique looking phone also with a replaceable battery.

The V10 was too big for me and this is why i ended up with the G4. Which was so unique.we'll never see another. The ergonomics were very good. leather backs. Who has that.

The next problem was the limited availability. Very few markets saw the V10

People who wanted the bigger phone went with it. The Note stood out. The note 5 was demoted and the s6e+ (who comes up with these names) was pushed instead. Never happened before. The note 4 was the last great Note. The closest you get to it is the V20 today.

Then to add insult to injury the Note 7 got banned by world govt (!) why isn't the note dead already

I've never sensed any tension between G or V owners, each went with what they wanted. You wanted smaller you went G.

Same with S & Note owners. There are subtle differences between both series and the twain shall never meet

The downside was the bootloop problem with the G4 & V10. Everybody that wanted a good camera got either of the two. Period

The slam the G5 got was people thought they should have improved on the G4 further. The G5 was too radical. Anyone that wants a really good camera, should check out the G5. Sensors got smaller from there on and continued getting smaller to the point the one on the V30 is now smaller than on an iphone. They wanted to get rid of the bump (!) Great, they did that.

With the G4 on to the G5, you KNEW you were packing. Don't get that feel with the V20, its still good but those were better

Not ugly and you get used to the size. Second display comes in handy for quick picks.

People with a Z play make the point that it comes with dual sim AND micro sd. Such a rarity these days. Guess what i got that with the G4 AND V20. For some reason this hybrid nonsense makes it into the G's5 & 6 and V30 et al.

last time they reginalised specs was G3 with the asinine 2/3Gb memory. The G6 region builds was a mistake.

The Asian G6 was full specs, maybe this is why they did a V30+ plus here. Funny that. The G6 was to good that they had to up the game with a v30 plus

What annoys me with these Korean phones is the excessive number of SKU's which just make it a pain. Why not make just one for the ENTIRE world.

Innovative design of G6/V30 makes LG not stand out from the crowd, It's a samey looking phone isn't it with hybrid sim & a sealed battery. yeah real great

So many reviewers say the same thing and its this conformity that gets me down. The G4 and on up to the V20 refused to conform.

The G6 & V30 are pretty, yeah. Funny how these are considered quality but everything before isn't ?

All throughout is LG's discriminating practice of allowing bootloader unlock only in certain markets. They Euros get it because God said so. Why does only T-mo get it though and not the other US operators?

as i understand it the bootloops stopped with the V10. So no more bootloops from the G5 onwards.

And you stand countered SIR! :D
