    Hmm tempting.

    Still loving my V20's 2nd screen & removable battery. I would love to upgrade to newest model if LG stick with V20 formula. Sigh… :(

      It's grey stock, so that's a no

      • windbox on 17/09/2018 - 21:52

        Will it trigger 10% GST on top of the price since it's grey import?
        Also notice that they have Note 9 (128/6gb version) for 1,053.15 with ebay plus (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-9-SM-N96…)

        I'm actually curious…now that grey stock get charged GST as well, can't we technically get that back via TRS?

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 17/09/2018 - 22:02

          I believe it would need to be a registered Australian business (ABN) to be able to claim TRS but theses arnt soruced from here so I still don't think they will be able to provide a tax invoice on them

        • Fuzor on 17/09/2018 - 22:02

          Haha we're in the lucky country but not that lucky. The GST is collected by Ebay so no youre not gonna get it back cause you paid the QD instead of Ebay.

        • nickj on 18/09/2018 - 07:55
          +1

          That's an excellent point.
          We should be campaigning to get the GST back through TRS, on the basis of a level playing field, ie same basis that Gerry Harvey got GST added to grey stock in the first place.
          Presumably eBay would have to provide a tax invoice which shows the item with only GST being charged, and we'd use that to get the TRS refund.

      • Steptoe on 17/09/2018 - 22:01

        It's local grey stock according to the location, so should include GST.

        • krazek on 17/09/2018 - 22:07

          Yea that's was my understanding, was just wondering if anyone who has purchased from this seller recieved an invoice with gst

          I asked the question to QD a few weeks back and they said they are only registered for simple GST…
          However i looked up the ABN of the company I was charged for and it seems they have been registered for GST for a long time…

        • EssendonUser on 18/09/2018 - 13:16

          @dasher86:thanks mate..then I hope we could use it for tax purpose. When you purchasedd from them, did you give any invoice other than ebay provided one?

        • dasher86 on 18/09/2018 - 13:22

          @EssendonUser:
          no. i was told you cannot claim TRS.

        • EssendonUser on 18/09/2018 - 13:26

          @dasher86ok thanks mate ..TRS is one part.I was more interested on claiming mobile for work as part of tax return, which actually need a tax invoice. This is where I was confused whether there was any invoice from the seller or not …

          You can always reach out to the seller to confirm. They were very quick to reply.

  • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 21:28

    Anyone own the LG V30? There have been reports of the phone being capable of driving the HD650. This is insane as their impedance is rated at 300ohms.

      I got a impedance adopter for 10 bucks to drive any headphones with active quad dac

      • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 22:11

        Do these actually work? I never understood the concept of having such an adaptor. Can $10 really fix a complex electrical design issue?

        • [Deactivated] on 18/09/2018 - 08:29

          yes, they do work. I use it every day and my phone shows High Impedance mode and that's what the adopter is supposed to do

    • giventofly on 17/09/2018 - 21:34

      Sure it can. My LG G6 drive them fine as did the V20. HiFi DAC rocks.

      • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 21:38

        Absolutely ridiculous. I've read that some headfi users have sold off their Chord Mojos and Oppos because the LG V30 is that good. I'd imagine not better but good enough hifi-wise to no longer stack.

        • giventofly on 17/09/2018 - 22:40

          It's really good. No longer need a PMP

        • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 22:42

          @Gharvey Snruff: Do you have issues with the impedance auto-detection feature?

        • Volution on 17/09/2018 - 22:47

          My V20 can drive the HD650 no sweat. Hell, it can even drive my Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm although for soft music, i'd have to crank it to max volume. Any other loud songs is fine at 90% volume. Therefore, I'm assuming the V30 can handle it being the newer model. Long live the V series!

        • Archaleas on 17/09/2018 - 22:50

          I run a Pioneer XDP-300r. Have been seriously considering selling and getting the LG G7 One when it come out. I am impatient however and this is inciting. Would also sell my Pixel and get this.

          I really want to know the comparison of the XDP-300 specs vs the LG V30+

        • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 22:53

          @Volution: Driving a 600ohm headphone is a far reach for even this phone. I bet your bass gets pretty uncontrolled.

        • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 23:07

          @Archaleas: For $500, the V30+ would make a great DAP. For $500 with significantly decreased product support, this would make a poor phone. In contrast, I would imagine Google to continue supporting the Pixel.

        • Archaleas on 17/09/2018 - 23:13
          +1

          @JuliusSeizure: good analysis. THis is more for the DAC. the Pioneer xdp-300 is my current DAP however has alot of minor issues testing my OCD. Feel like an upgrate to a single device, with 2tb micro sd card support (albeit non existent) and better UI.

          Was looking at running LG V30+ with an additional amp/dac

        • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 23:25

          @Gharvey Snruff: Did a bit more reading and came across a guide to keep the V20 perpetually in high impedance mode without root. From what I can understand, LG's Quad DAC tech will switch modes depending on the detected impedance of the headset. A lower impedance headphone means one out of four channels are used, which conserves the phone's battery. A higher impedance headphone will require all four channels. Now to achieve the best sound quality, you want the phone to perpetually be in a high impedance state. Having more channels results in a better signal-to-noise ratio.

        • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 23:31

          @Archaleas: Buying a amp/dac defeats the purpose of LG V30+, which was designed for those who hated stacking. If you are buying a dedicated amp and dac, just run your music from your Pixel.

        • Diji1 on 18/09/2018 - 02:02

          @JuliusSeizure: It will just be low volume.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/09/2018 - 08:40

        Heard quite a lot about V20 HIFI, like deep bass, however, my Lg G6 has more punchy bass sound which is good but I am more into deep bass music

      • CaptainNewspeak on 18/09/2018 - 09:26

        What's the difference between lgs DAC and say the HTC 10s (which I'm currently using and it sounds great)? Is it a significant upgrade? Asking because I am in no way an audiophile but do appreciate this feature.

      Yep, I've got both the v30 and the hd650s…. They drive them easily, and they sound fantastic!

      • Julius on 17/09/2018 - 21:47

        Hopefully LG continues to support the V30 into the medium future. If not, it will be an unbeatable DAP sub-$500. This is assuming it follows the price path of its predecessor.

      other than the spec bump, i'd imagine it would get more/faster updates than the V30+. i was looking at the G7 myself, as the V30+ is a fair bit wider (which imo is worse than having it be taller), but it is a lot more money for a 'minor' updgrade

      • giventofly on 17/09/2018 - 22:42

    • 6828 on 18/09/2018 - 07:06

      The G7 has a taller screen and uses an IPS LED screen so there isn’t the blue shift when viewed from an angle. The V30 uses OLED and some people have been frustrated by the view angle of the screen for colour stability. Other people don’t mind the view angles. The LG G7 is at the top of my list right now for a replacement to my Samsung S4 Active but the V40 is being released in a couple of weeks. I’m going to see how the dust settles after the V40 is on the market to get the G7 a little cheaper.

      • neonlight on 18/09/2018 - 07:28

        I'm trying to work out if I should get the G7 as an upgrade from s7 edge but youtube videos shows it'd wide angle camera had shrunk on G7 compare to V30

        • butterbuts on 18/09/2018 - 09:19
          +1

          I got the G7 as an upgrade for my S7Edge. I used to think the edge was still good, but the G7 is much better at everything. I have smaller hands as well so the edge was always too wide for me so I didn't want to go to the V30+. The tall and skinny design of the G7 is good for me.

          I believe they made the area the wide angle camera covers smaller, but that meant there was less fish eye effect, so works out better imo.

          I love using the phone without a case as I love the form factor, so I'm risking it at the moment.

    I've heard it definitely needs a case to protect the screen… any good recommendations?

    • Bard on 18/09/2018 - 00:41

      I personally would get a thicker, more rigid case rather than a slim case. People have had their glass casing at the back of the LG V30+ cracked even with a case on. I plan on using the Spigen neohybrid which has been sitting on my desk for several months.

    Bad seller. I would avoid based on that. They took a return of my Moto Z2 Play as it utterly bricked while ota updating, but refused to refund me based on the headphones and charger not being included with the return. Headphones broke because they were shit and I left the charger somewhere. Accessories being included should have no bearing on warranty return, but they didn't want to hear it. eBay refunded me as soon as I called them with verification they received the broken phone, after probably 20 messages back and forth trying to work it out.

    • Mixhael on 18/09/2018 - 01:31

      Fair enough, originally I was going to disagree but now I think it is unreasonable to expect the customer to hold on to all the original accessories for a warranty defect on the phone.

    • Mister Plod on 18/09/2018 - 02:20

      yeah it's always a risk with these grey importers.
      i had a bad experience with the seller 'T-Dimension' a while back with my s7 edge. sent it off for repair under warranty, but when they told me they received it, they just stopped all communication - for 3 bloody months. it was only after i found them on facebook that they answered via chat, and i finally got my phone back a couple weeks afterwards.

      the screen was covered in scuffs and a deep cut that wasn't there before; but to their credit the phone actually did work fine (with knox tripped, but that's to be expected).

    • aja12 on 18/09/2018 - 05:52

      You had a bad experience, that doesn’t make QD a bad seller. They have 99.8% positive feedback. They sell grey stock, everyone here knows that the one downside to buying grey, from any seller, is that you rely on the seller to cover you for any warranty claims, and not the manufacturer. Every single seller of grey phones has their fair share of stories of poor after sales support. Those saving have to come from somewhere.

      Your story doesn’t really add up either.

          Is this the attitude you had when dealing with QD? You broke the headphones, you lost the charger, and I've got no doubt you approached QD completely the wrong way.

          Also, I think you may have let some of the truth slip when you said

          they received the broken phone

All the issues people raised are just no big deal, screen is fine and POLED (supports daydream), battery life is great, quad dac great, its a solid reliable phone, dual SIM and 128Gb of space means you dont need an sd card, camera quality is fine and thr wide angle camera is great, video is great and has tracked zoom, no annoying notch, its light and quite small for a 6" phone.

      The main reason to choose this phone is it has headphone jack to take advantage of it's allegedly better sounding DAC or amp.

    next phone will be an android one phone , either LG if the do an android one or nokia 7 plus.

    Prices have been increased. Looks like they may have met their quota. Recommend waiting for LG V40 release now (~October) if you didn't snag a deal.

    Is the bootloader locked / unlocked / unlockable on the LG V30+? LG have historically been pretty poor with software & security updates once the phone is 12 months old, which makes being able to move to a custom ROM extremely useful.

    Glad I got it last night before the jack. Wonder how long before it will be available for $500 tho
