![]() I somewhat do get the idea that a unibody design without removable parts might just make the device look slicker and even has a practical reason when it comes to water and dust resistance (yes, you CAN submerge the V30 without a case thanks to the IP68-rating). LG was basically the last major phone maker to offer an exchangeable battery on a flagship with the V20, so kudos for that, but they eventually ditched it for the V30. ![]() ![]() Well first off, let’s get that big thing out of the way that bothered me the most before I even bought the V30: abandoning the removable battery. After spending six months with the V30, what is there to say about the device as a videography tool? It took over the useful dual rear cameras from the V20 and newly introduced features like LOG profile, Point Zoom and CineVideo. As I don’t see the need to upgrade my phone on an annual basis, I went for the V30. While LG’s smartphone sales can’t really compete with the ones from Samsung, Huawei and such, the V-series fortunately didn’t just vanish after the V10 but was succeeded by the V20, V30, V35 and V40 henceforth. With the introduction of the V-series in late 2015, LG offered avid smartphone videographers a feature pack in the native camera app that could otherwise only be found in dedicated 3rd party apps like FilmicPro. While many other phone makers were including advanced manual controls for photography in their camera apps, video had been shamelessly ignored. The V10 was the first flagship smartphone I had purchased and I had done so for a very specific reason: LG had redefined what a stock/native camera app on a smartphone can offer in terms of pro video controls. ![]() A little more than six months ago I bid my LG V10 goodbye into retirement. ![]()
