Another important factor for any buyer is the specs and features. The V40 is the same as the Galaxy S9, Note 9, Pixel 3 XL, OnePlus 6, etc. Which means it's a little more powerful than the older V30. Here are the numbers though.
LG V40 Specs
- 6.4-inch 3120 x 1440 Quad-HD OLED Display
- Snapdragon 845 Processor with 6GB of RAM
- 64GB of storage with microSD expansion (128GB outside the US)
- Android 8 Oreo (With Android Pie coming... eventually)
- Triple Cameras: 12MP main camera with OIS, 16MP wide-angle lens, and 12MP telephoto 2z optical zoom lens.
- Dual Front-Facing 8 MP and 5MP wide-angle cameras
- LG BoomBox bottom speaker
- 3,300 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 and wireless charging
- IP68 Dust & Water-resistance
- USB Type-C, Google Assistant button
- Quad-DAC, 32-bit sound, 3.5mm headphone jack, etc
- Aurora Black, Moroccan Blue in the US
As you can see, the LG V40 sounds like a great phone. Big screen, plenty of power, fast software, lots of cameras and excellent sound. Seriously, this could fly under the radar as one of the top 3 phones of 2018. The V30 is no slouch either. LG V30 Specs
- 6-inch 2880 x 1440 Quad-HD OLED Display
- Snapdragon 835 Processor with 4GB of RAM
- 64/128GB storage options, micro-SD slot expansion
- Android 8.1 Oreo (after updates)
- Dual 16 and 13 Megapixel Rear cameras. f/1.6 aperture, wide-angle and more
- 5MP front-facing camera
- 3,300 mAh battery with Fast and Wireless Charging
- Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner
- IP68 Dust and Water Resistance up to 5ft
- 32-bit Quad DAC for improved audio
- Secondary display is now software based, not built-in
- USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, Always-On Display, more
If there's one plus, it looks like LG is keeping the 3.5mm headphone jack. At least for one more year. Otherwise, this is your typical yearly upgrade with no major changes. If you love LG phones, the V30 is still highly capable and a great device. If you want a bigger screen, slightly better performance, and more camera options get the V40 instead.
