T-Mobile unboxes the LG V30, films everything on another V30, no headphones in sight

Best complete phone I've seen all year, no complaints about the specs, design, camera, FP placement and I am sure the battery life will be better than the Note 8 so there should be no complaints in that area either, especially given the fact that LG does a hell of a lot better at optimizing their phones to work with Qualcomm's chips than Samsung does. A lot of premature praise I know but I don't think I will have to take any of it back.

A price drop will make it even better but given the price of similar devices and those with a fruit logo I think $800 is pretty reasonable.

Dont think he's saying it's unreasonable. LG phones just tend to drop in prices like no other phone. The v20 was a beast as well just a year ago and now it runs for $300. The G5 was dropped in price just weeks after release. Hell the G6, which is also a great phone, got its price drop a month after release. There is absolutely no reason to think this monster wont be hoovering at or below $700 in a matter of weeks with better promotions... and the fact that tmobiles doesnt seem to come with the headphones, well it's just not unreasonable to wait on that

I am aware of how quick LG phones get their prices drop and I wasn't arguing against justlooking's statement.

Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean that no one else does.
I for one, and even though it isn't the best of quality out there, use it a lot when filming my kids while outdoors using my S8+. And I am glad Apple is taking this feature seriously and improving on it, and hopefully Samsung and the rest of Android OEMs will follow their lead and who knows, maybe even surpass what Apple has provided.

For stuff like that I agree it's an amazing feature. Its awesome making memories with your kids but I.kind of agree with the above comment. Not having 4k slow mo shouldn't be a deal breaker. It's a nice feature but I feel like at this point it's nitpicking. V30 is a monster of a device.

You understand youre by far in a minority on that, right? Majority dictates market.

I have to agree. If it's supposed to be the ultimate, then it needs to have those options. I love shooting 60fps, so 4K 60fps would make me actually use 4K. I also love shooting in Slow-mo, have been excited for it since the Nexus 6p's 240FPS Slow-Mo.

4K60 is pointless. The shear file size will dictate usage - 1 minute of 4K at 60fps equates to around 400MB of storage - most people will be able to afford 64gb iPhones so..... Its also pointless really when a top end Mac can't even process 4K @ 60fps (due to the usual crappy apple hardware) and most 4K TV's only do UHD or 4K at 24-30fps...

If and when 4K 60fps TV's and capable laptops arrive that can process it, then there will be a need. At the moment 4k60 is just a gimmick

Didn't LG say everyone was getting the headphones??

T-Mobile hasn't announced a Daydream headset yet.
