REVIEW: There's only one reason you should buy LG's latest smartphone — and plenty of reasons not to by Antonio Villas-Boas on Oct 30, 2017, 5:55 PM Advertisement
 One of the things I consider when it comes to reviewing new smartphones is whether it could comfortably replace whatever device I'm currently using. When I reviewed Google's Pixel 2 XL, it made me want to switch from my iPhone 6s Plus, and I've been using the Pixel 2 XL ever since. The $800+ LG V30, on the other hand, has not made me want to switch. To be clear, that's not to say that the LG V30 is a bad phone. Samsung's mighty Galaxy phones haven't made me want to switch, either, and the Galaxy phones' success is a clear sign that people love those phones. There's a lot to love about LG's new flagship, and it offers plenty of great features currently found in other high-end Android phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2. In fact, there's little that differentiates the LG V30 from those other high-end Android smartphones — but it's those little differences that make the biggest impact. Check out the LG V30: SEE ALSO: REVIEW: If I were to buy an Android phone, it would be the Pixel 2 XL The V30 is a beautiful device from the front. 
Its shiny metallic edges are classy. 
But the back of the device is a bit of a letdown.  On the back of the phone, you'll find the home button embedded into the fingerprint scanner. This is actually a win for LG, as I wish other phones would integrate their home buttons into the rear-facing fingerprint scanners. Apart from that, the back of the V30 isn't especially nice, as it doesn't quite match the front and side's premium looks and feel. (Note: That blue-ish streak on the bottom half of the phone is leftover glue from a sticker that simply wouldn't come off.)
