The LG V40 ThinQ is the LG G7, which
adds more in each round. There are more cameras, more inches. The phone also
costs much more. This puts him in direct competition with cell phones like the
Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The LG V40 ThinQ is an
unquestionably good phone, but has difficulty compared to the best Android
phones.
The photos of the V40 are not as
clean as the best, the battery lasts only long enough and the software is
probably the hardest among the custom UIs. To make sense, you better know that
it has a headphone jack and an unusually good DAC.
SPECIFICATIONS:
The LG V40 ThinQ has all the features
of a top-of-the-range phone. It is made of metal and glass. And because glass
alone is no longer enough to impress, the back has a soft-touch finish. This is
similar to the texturing used on the expensive laptop track pads. Since this
actually reduces friction, you might expect the V40 to become even slipperier.
However, since the back is mostly flat, it is not nearly as slippery as the
Sony Xperia XZ3. The LG V40 has up to 128 GB of memory, a good fingerprint
scanner and IP68 water resistance, which is prepared for complete immersion in
water. All typical features of an expensive phone can be found here.
Sound Quality:
However, the LG V40 is characterized
in part by the way in which it does not follow the trends. It not only has a
3.5mm headphone jack, which has become extremely rare in high-end models in
2019, and the focus is on "wired" audio quality. Like the LG V30, the
V40 also has a quad DAC, the components that convert digital audio files into
signals for conventional headphones. There is a switch in the settings that
allows you to turn the Quad DAC on and off, but when turned on, the volume is
slightly lower. This has an automatic psychoacoustic effect that makes the
sound better the speaker of the LG V40, a single driver on the bottom, is not
identifiable in the same way. But it is absolutely solid.
Screen and Performance:
An excellent 6.4-inch OLED panel
screen is just what we expect for the price, even if the V40 ThinQ is just the
second LG phone to use an OLED. The Snapdragon 845 CPU is also predictable.
This is probably one of the last top-of-the-line phones to use the processor.
Snapdragon 855 phones are expected to begin in early 2019. For now, it's the
best we can ask for.
Camera:
There are three cameras on the back
of the LG V40, two on the front. No one is behind the scenes for a half-hidden
purpose. The LG V40 ThinQ offers additional 2-fold zoom and ultra-wide views
for the rear view camera as well as a particularly large view for selfies. The
Triple Shot mode can use these views not only as a quick-change lens, but all
three views in quick succession. You can then convert them to GIFs or videos,
with transitions in between.
Unfortunately, the LG V40 ThinQ does
not depend on the triple rear camera concept and also on the Huawei Mate 20
Pro. We were thoroughly spoiled by this phone. The LG V40 ThinQ can take solid
photos with all the rear lenses, but the Huawei has better zoom, a much better
width sensor, and superior HDR and night modes. For pure picture quality,
however, this is a step below the top handful of phones like Google Pixel 3 XL,
Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The wide-angle camera also has a fixed focus
and therefore cannot be used as a macro lens.
