LG V30
The latest Android smartphone is the LG V30, a
high-end handset in every sense: It features a dual-camera setup, class-leading
processor, and an edge-to-edge OLED display. The V30 carries Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip, paired with 4GB of RAM. The V30 utilizes a
similar pairing of a standard and wide-angle lens, with the former rated at 16
megapixels and the latter at 13. But the new device goes a few steps further,
with an f/1.6 aperture and an f/1.9 aperture, respectively. The bigger aperture
will allow more light into shots, which should especially improve images
captured in dark environments.
LG also implemented a new technology with the V30
known as Point and Zoom. Simply tap an object on the screen and a slider will
appear, allowing you to close in on that aspect of the frame first using the
wide-angle lens, before switching to the normal one, and then using digital
zoom. It should be a handy feature for producing fun videos and blends the
V30’s two cameras in a seamless, intuitive way. It works in a new camera mode
in the V30 called Cine Video, which offers a number of color-graded themes
designed around movie genres. These are added to videos before you start
filming
One of the ways the V30 differentiates itself is
in its audio system. Similar to last year’s V20, LG has fitted the V30 with an
upgraded 32-bit Quad DAC system for richer, more accurate sound. We loved what
we heard from the phone’s predecessor, and LG is the only mainstream
manufacturer really innovating the listening experience in this way, so we hope
the implementation is spot-on once again. The phone will also stream
high-resolution audio in a way that conserves more data. The V30 ticks just about every smartphone box,
including a whole bunch that most people never asked for. It has a large,
gorgeous OLED display with slim bezels, cameras that excel in low light
situations and the newest mobile processor. It is IP68 water-resistant, comes
with hi-fi audio capabilities and can be charged wirelessly.
