Claim that JB will be offering a pair of B&O H3 earphones ($230 - not the ANC - noise cancelling version) if you purchase the LG V30+ before Xmas. Not clear if this is a redemption, or a bundle. These are a sweet pair of headgear, which would complement the quad-DAC sound that LG has outscored all other flagship phones…using a headphone jack as well…

"JB is the exclusive retailer" - hoping that this does not include Telco's stores!
(Personally, waiting to see what the Telco's will do to put the V30+ onto a plan, and maybe bundle it with something…)

    Satisfyingly cabled <3 This phone looks sick though. Australia will only get the + version though which apparently has more storage. As soon as it drops below $1K im gonna jump on it. These headphones can be found for quite cheap so not sure how good this deal is though :)

    • KLoNe on 03/11/2017 - 06:31

      Same. Price drop to $1000 and then a 20% eBay coupon and then this phone has my name on it.

        Beware LG and bootloop. My V20 started bootlooping after 3 months usage. Will never trust another LG phone again.

        So now we have G4-6 and V10-20 all part of the class action lawsuit.

        • KLoNe on 03/11/2017 - 07:28

        • pointnlarf on 03/11/2017 - 07:57

          @KLoNe: They take a while before they start looping…

        • superforever on 03/11/2017 - 08:46

          Are you sure the same issue like G4?

          What do you mean start bootlooping? If bootlooped you can't use it anymore.

        • Asx10000 on 03/11/2017 - 09:00

          @KLoNe: and G5. You don't know about V30 because it's only new.

        • etchomojay on 03/11/2017 - 09:27

          Wow the V20 bootloops? That's really bad news! Not sure about the V30 any more if that's the case.

        • dcep on 03/11/2017 - 10:05

          you sure v20 bootloop ?

          you're the 1st one in ozb to report this, and plenty of ozb own V20 from $360 deals every now & then.

        • chihaeru on 03/11/2017 - 11:34

          You would be one of the first then to report of hardware related bootlooping on the V20.

          The thermal paste that they use isn't exactly good on the first batches of the device from user reports but the only hardware bootlooping reported was due to people using USB C cables that aren't verified to be safe and meet proper USB C standards… That itself isn't even an issue unique to the V20, and if that caused a hardware bootloop then that isn't LG's fault, but the user's…

        • superforever on 03/11/2017 - 12:55

          But you lose everything on the phone. you can't just backup the phone everyday. It's painful and stressful when you know the phone might get bootlooped one day. I just experienced that…

    I'm a little bummed out to find out the + doesn't have the extra 2gig (total 6GB) that all the reviewers said the + would have a month or so ago.
    Android does love it's RAM. That and an IR blaster would've made this phone damn near perfect. That and maybe a Snapdragon 845.

    • chyawala on 03/11/2017 - 07:28

    • Matslurpee on 03/11/2017 - 08:42

      845 is not until next year and Samsung is going to take all the stock for at least 1 month, so don't expect 845 devices until march.

    • etchomojay on 03/11/2017 - 09:27

      IR blaster would have been great. Do any phones still have them these days?

        The Iphone X. :/
        A few still rock them though. Heaps of the cheaper Chinese brand phones. I was actually looking into whether you could just have an external USB IR Blaster or something. Turns out, you can buy little headphone jack adaptors for next to nothing that do the job (with varying success). Might be a good alternative.

        • tmr3 on 03/11/2017 - 13:37

          The iPhone X has an IR camera for its facial recognition tech, but I wasn't aware it had an IR blaster (the kind that controls TVs and appliances).

      • HeLisH on 20/11/2017 - 13:47

        The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is reported to have an IR blaster.

        • ToastySteve on 20/11/2017 - 19:50

          Right you are. The rest of the specs are a bit of a let down though.
          No exp storage or headphone jack, lower screen res and PPI.
          Also, in the 2 camera comparison videos I've watched, the Mate 10 Pro loses out pretty badly to other flagships. I.e. this review

        • HeLisH on 09/12/2017 - 20:28
          +2

          @ToastySteve: True, I was tossing up between the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and the V30+. I decided to go with the V30+. Camera is average for indoors on auto mode and I haven't tried it out in daylight. I had the S8 for a few months and the Auto mode of the S8 was definitely better, but the manual modes on both are comparable. I'm really happy with the V30+ though just went through all the settings and there's a surprising amount of customisation available.

        • ToastySteve on 13/12/2017 - 02:29

          @HeLisH: Awesome feedback, thanks for that. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, still waiting for the price to drop a little more and an overseas trip to TRS it. :)

      I'd rather drop and smash my phone than see it depreciate in value at the ridiculously fast rate that other V series phones have. Would be less painful.

      • thisispants on 03/11/2017 - 12:16

        But if you pay for it with a price guarantee credit card it means you end up paying significantly less for a flagship phone.

        • chyawala on 04/11/2017 - 00:54

          Well technically you would have to claim, providing the advertised brick and mortar store price, and within the time frame allowed which is probably 3 months. So there's much more depreciating to happen in the time beyond that. Consider the V20, on sale $350 a year on.

    I literally just packed my V20 up after 3 months of usage. To be returned under warranty for bootlooping. What a hassle.

    Thats right, V20 and bootloop….no it hasn't been fixed.

    Back to my Galaxy Note 4.

    I would highly recommend not getting any LG phone until they are proven to be not part of the bootloop club.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2017 - 09:03

        I've been exclusively using LG phones for the last 4 years. The V20 is awesome. I have never had bootloop with G2,G3,G4, V20. I don't play games on them, that might be the reason why. Either way, very happy with the brand,

        • Shon on 03/11/2017 - 09:18

          Also don't play games, I was happy until 12 months and 3 days in my G4 bootlooped. Mistakes happen, just look at note 7. But LG don't seem to be able to rectify their mistakes and with their phone dept bleeding money they will keep cutting corners. 4 different phones same issue, they have lost my trust. I loved LG too since my Nexuseses/Nexi - but this is just to close to the Lucky Goldstar of the 80's.

      Whaaa? The V30 has the best camera specs of any smart phone on the market, doesn't it?
      There are a few software issues with point and click photography on it, that're causing it some grief, but if you switch to manual mode it blows everything out of the water.
      It also has a pretty great screen from everything I read, and watched on it. Super bright at least.

      Possibly what you've seen in the reviews you've watched is a bit of disappointment over this phone that was heralded as the 2nd coming, only to be competitive or on a level with the other top tier phones.
      The MKBHD Review literally dotes the screen and the camera as the two best qualities of the phone.

      • abb on 14/11/2017 - 11:51

        I looked at the sample shots on gsmarena and the V20 camera looks better.

        Are there other sites that do a direct comparison of photos to play with? (It's certainly possible that gsmarena just got bad luck when taking their test image)

          I'm not really sure of any other sites other than DXOmark. I've just watched a bunch of youtube vid comparisons vs the Pixel 2, Iphone 8/X etc.
          From everything I've seen and read the V30 SHOULD be the best.
          If you've got a bit of time, check out this video and this one
          Plenty of other positive reviews out there, just have to look.

        • abb on 15/11/2017 - 13:42

          @ToastySteve: Thanks, I don't much like videos but I'll have a look tonight.

          I was all motivated to buy the Pixel until I saw the blue shift thing, and now that I've seen the V20 for ~$400 it's getting hard to convince myself to pay $1k! Maybe having the best camera around will be enough motivation…

  • songjing on 03/11/2017 - 09:15

    Will this phone having burn-in problem like pixel 2 xl?

    • ToastySteve on 03/11/2017 - 10:43

      It's the same tech in the screen, so there's that possibility.. But the phone has been in use by reviewers for longer than the Pixel 2 has, and we haven't heard any noise, so I don't believe so.
      I think it was just a bad batch of Pixels that were to blame, wasn't it?

    • chihaeru on 03/11/2017 - 11:37

      Not only that, but a lot of V30 users have reported getting really bad OLED panels just like Pixel 2 XL ones have, with discoloration, light bleeding etc. Might be worth waiting a while before buying one of these, in hopes that later batches aren't affected as bad.

      • ToastySteve on 03/11/2017 - 11:45

        Have we heard anything about LG's warranty for this? Google's answer to the burn in issue was to increase the phone warranty to 2 years.
        If LG followed suit, I'd feel pretty confident going with them.

      I don't think either of those are true for the v30…. that's the pixel xl you're thinking of.

      Some of the v30's have uneven lighting on the screen at very low brightness. I think it's also been called strangely grainy…. But it seems to vary unit to unit.

    Seem like a good phone but LG prices drop quickly, likely will be below $700 in 3-6 months. Coupled with the bootloop issue which is now happening with V20, I personally will not buy this. I actually like the knock to awake the screen on the LG phones, a pity they can't seem to fix the bootloop issue.

    This might be slightly off-topic here, but the Mi Mix 2 is actually quite comparable to this phone and can be had for half the price. Perhaps worth considering as an alternative if you can't find stock or don't want to drop $1k+ for the V30+
