Does the LG V30 look similar to the seamless design of the Samsung S8? Absolutely. Does it also have what sounds like superlative audio upgrade following on from the V20’s benchmark-setting hardware and a camera that will give its competitors a run for their money? Hells yes and never have I wanted a phone more.

The V20 may have had a few gimmicks layered into its design, but the audio department was aces. It stroked my cochlea with sublime Quad-DAC hardware that sounded beauitful with the right headset. The LG V30 sounds like it’ll be playing to those strengths then, as LG’s next flagship is doubling down on the audio department and then some.

I’ve been salivating over the prospect of LG’s impending new flagship, the V30 for some time now. It looks like the V30 – due to be fully revealed at IFA Berlin at the end of this month – is going to do for photography and video capture what the V20 did for audio.

4K video recording is something that’s now available to the masses, as we enter an age where our recordings are getting sharper, better and brighter. Which device to buy though? Which machine will preserve my random cat videos at the best possible resolution for all eternity? We’ve gathered a list of ten devices across a wide variety of hardware eco-spheres below. Spoiler alert: They’re all pricy, but well worth having a look at.

LG wants to bring OLED technology to the masses. They’re investing frightful amounts of money into OLED research, development, and production of the technology to meet the demands of TV and smartphone manufacturers

The march of progress waits for no smartphone manufacturer, and it looks like LG already has a successor in the works to their G6 and V20 devices: The LG V30.

LG has learnt from their mistakes and are coming out of the gates fighting with the G6. Is this the new flagship to look out for?

The V20 may not be a perfect powerhouse from LG, but it shines in the specialist areas where it's aimed at with an attitude that audiophiles will appreciate.
