[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashtrix:
Welcome back.

In my 10 years of Android, I say V30 is the best phone I have ever laid my hands and eyes on. I always mentioned how the aspect ratio of this phone is perfect. The 6" Panel OLED Dolby Vision / HDR10 is perfect, the edge is so subtle and non distorting making it beautiful. The lack of camera bump and the flash/Laser AF under the glass is just phenomenal I think no phone has that, G8 and V50 both have flash exposed with plastic like all phones. The thickness at 7.9mm with "Balanced Design" of Bezels and the damn weight at 130gm is super cool.

Camera on V30 is on a whole new level I just wish LG took a better sensor, that Graphy and your skill makes this phone shine, check this review out.

Pie sucks ? I think that's soft, here's worse ... Android itself is going in a downhill, I suspect it's all due to the latest PC agenda that they are chasing imitating all worst trash from Apple, Internal meltdown.

Made for Google - Clone of Made for iDevices, Licensing for Lightning, same here.

Copy the iPhone 6 for Pixel OG

Copy the lack of jack, death of 3.5mm on their Pixel 2

Copy the Notch from iPhone on 3XL

Copy the Face ID.

Copy the Playstore icons into rounded squares like iPhone.

Copy castrated Filesystem with Scoped Storage.

Copy the Gesture nav killed the best part of Oreo, Marshmallow had the full 3D making more apps visible ofc vertical scrolling on a vertically long display panel - Smartphone Display (makes sense ?, yeah but It's google they don't want sense they just copy and relegated to a second class citizen next to Apple instead trying to forge their own path of fame), whole MD is dead unfortunately and took all the depth from the best design they had.

Draconian Playstore grip on the Android ecosystem.

Embracing MIT license based Fuchsia vs GNU GPL V2 Linux, which is basically the only reason I still use Android.

and how 10 kills whole Android with more restrictions and they are prepping up the BS nuke called, Scoped Storage. Horrible disaster, the Android has ever seen, A/B system ruined the Modding permanently while the new Dynamic Partition system is worse. Press often calls Treble as some sort of messiah while the GSIs are just JUNK, non optimized generic OS images useless. And the new APEX is being touted as some revolutionary BS again. XDA portal shills so hard on Huawei and other junk also the Google, Security is a misnomer in this age of Digital Oil era, the Digital footprint is bigger than Carbon nowadays. very hard to decouple, I mentioned a ton of times alr (Hint - AMD PSP, Intel ME, Apple Kat.cr case, Snowden etc...), shame how people are so naive that latest is greatest and they don't even think how many things they are losing.

Look at Win7 vs Win10, Win 10 has 18mo EOL policy on the SAC - Semi Annual Channel update where you see the releases and constantly bud ridden and also breaking Control panel. Only version usable is LTSC that too with a DISM tool to service the image and hack the whole OS, chop off the junk.

Extremely sorry for the long rant. I hope LG makes a good BL unlockable device with same features, I'll get it for sure. The OS is so snappy and fast without any Kernel or any, super optimized. HW features are second to none, to those who missed on ESS QuadDAC, hit this up and know more. (Edit - dang, Anxious is deleted ? Sad this is a loss to community)

Cheers again :highfive:
