That would be sweet, and an instant slam dunk for the XL2 if it was based off the v30. I just noticed the bezels are even smaller than the G6, very nice. Sign me up for the XL2.
Got a tip for us?

Same here....the XL2 is looking pretty sweet if it is along the same design as the V30.
Tell you what, I don't think a P-OLED screen, 2 extra GB ram, a bigger screen, and 835 processor justify going with the LG V30 over the LG G6.
Anyways, I am also a hypocrite because I also want to go with the iPhone 8 instead of the LG G6 if the device has an effective FaceID feature and also offers a bleeding edge experience. But then again, the LG G6 is plenty bleeding edge since it offers IP67 water resistance, 4GB RAM, QHD 18:9 LCD panel, USB Type C quick charge 3.0, wireless charging (quad dac in some regions instead), 821 processor, Android 7.0 nougat, etc without breaking the bank.

P-OLED display, 835 processor, better facial detection, 2 extra GBs of RAM to boot as well. No 32gb memory base either.
That's how I'm feeling at the moment. I've used the V20 for about 4 months, that's longer than normal for me lol. I usually swap phones because there's always some cool to try out. The V20 is built like a tank, I dropped it 4 times on concrete one (fun) night. The V30 looks like it could be fragile.
My first time checking out this thread. Holy smokes -- the V30 looks GORGEOUS. I didn't realize that LG could pull such a design off. DITTO to the posters that said "if this is how the Pixel 2 XL will look, sign me up!"
Will definitely be keeping my eye on this phone. The high quality DAC is a biggie for me.

Looks like the Note 8 and Pixel 2 will also be using the 835. Probably have to wait until 2018 for the next gen processor.
Already have one, Sony ZX premium. In a word, excellent.

Design is one thing which stops some people, namely the Sony I mentioned. Otherwise a winner.
For other improvements besides maybe an even better DAC, like IP67/68 rating, OLED screen... hopefully no bootlooping issues.. etc
Here's a shot in the dark. Anyone found the wallpaper they used in the advertisements on this phone? I know the Note 8 pic came out a week or two ago.
This vs Note 8 is going to be a tough decision.
Stunning! Trounces the Note 8 just on the non curved sides, and hopefully it doesn't have an idiotic aspect ratio. Now just get rid of the LG UI and go stock android and you've got a winner.
Sorry to disappoint but it does have the same 18:9 ratio as the LG G6 and it has UX 6.0+ (a small enhancement on the G6 uX 6.0) ....
However .. personally speaking.
I suspect by the time the Pixel 2 XL is released, the V30 will be €500 or less on sites like eGlobal. (given the V20 is only €320, and G6 €380) .. So i suspect if the Pixel 2 XL is €900+ and released yet again only in a few countries meaning I would have to import anyway, then I will likely just get the V30 instead myself. I don't mind LG's skin at all and UX 6.0+ looks like it has some nice extras.
Really wish LG would add a display button on the right side of their phones. Pressing in on the FPS is not a good solution imho. I know they have knock knock but personally not a fan of that feature. Personal preference has always been a wake/lock display button on the right side of phones.
But double tapping on the screen surely is just / if not quicker and more practical than a dedicated button to wake the device, especially if device is on a table or such ?
Being left handed, I like that the G6 for example has no buttons on the right side of the device.
yeah...i know it works for most....but as stated it is just my personal preference. I am not sure I want to knock on my phone while it is laying flat on the table to tbh. Unless the phone is very flat it will rock and tilt. I don't think the G6 was very flat in that regard.But double tapping on the screen surely is just / if not quicker and more practical than a dedicated button to wake the device, especially if device is on a table or such ?

Yeah G6 is actually flat for doing that (no wobble at all). Demo of it here on mine
However the V30 may have 2.5d so a slight curve, meaning it could wobble.
