LG v40 ThinQ - there are no many cameras

If you are not satisfied with the number of cameras in your phone, then you should take a closer look at the LG V40 ThinQ smartphone, which received not only top-notch features, but also five photo modules at once. This device has advanced musical capabilities, this distinguishes it from the background of numerous flagships with similar functionality. In this review, we will consider the main parameters of the V40 ThinQ, and also dwell on some features.

Equipment

The device comes in a pretty pretty box, inside of which is a charger, clip, good headphones and documentation. Options may vary slightly depending on the region of sales.

Design

The gadget has an elegant glass case that looks really beautiful. Yes, outwardly it resembles many flagships of 2019, but there are also its own zest. We are talking about the back side, where a wide block with three cameras is located in a horizontal position.

Next to it is a flash, and a fingerprint scanner is installed just below. Moreover, the glass is semi-gloss (glossy in black), and also has an anti-slip effect. The edges of the back cover are sloping, so it’s pleasant and convenient to use the device. The frameless screen has a bang and a slight indentation from the bottom.

All available navigation buttons are virtual. According to a good tradition, the display is covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5. An aluminum frame is located between the glass panels, which makes the device more solid. At the bottom there are external speaker grilles, a headphone jack, a microphone and USB Type-C. There is an additional microphone on top. The housing is protected according to the IP68 standard, which allows it not to be afraid of water and dust. Available colors: blue, black, red, gray. Dimensions: weight - 169 g, height - 158.8 mm, thickness - 7.6 mm, width - 75.7 mm.

Display

The V40 ThinQ uses an advanced P-OLED matrix, such a screen with a 6.4-inch diagonal received a very high resolution - 3120 by 1440 pixels. As a result, we get an incredibly detailed picture without visible individual pixels. The display has an Always-on function, which makes it possible to see important information even on a locked screen. Supported technology HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The image quality is very good, if not excellent. The maximum brightness level allows you to comfortably use the device on the street and indoors. Read e-books at night? No problem! Particularly striking is the deep black color. It is necessary to highlight excellent viewing angles.

Performance

The “heart” of the smartphone is the Snapdragon 845 chip. It is a flagship processor with 8 cores and a maximum clock speed of 2700 MHz. Installed a powerful 3D-accelerator Adreno 630. The amount of RAM is 6 GB. As for free space, the manufacturer initially offers 64 GB., But with the help of microSD cards, the internal memory can be expanded up to 512 GB. It houses a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 3300 mAh, supporting Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging. The battery is able to charge 50% in 35 minutes.

The gadget is running the Android 8.1 operating system with the preinstalled LG UX 7.0+ shell. In the AnTuTu test, the V40 ThinQ scores more than 277,000 points - this is an excellent result that allows you not to worry about the speed of the smartphone for several years to come. All games available from the Play Market are fast, the graphics are also great. High-quality optimization offers users the pleasure of stable, smooth and clear operation of applications.

Camera

We came to one of the main advantages of the smartphone - a triple camera. The standard is the main 12-megapixel module, which has aperture of 1.5 and 3-axis optical stabilization. The second 12-megapixel telescopic sensor (f / 2.4 aperture) is wide-angle, this is necessary to capture more objects in the frame. But the third 16-megapixel sensor with a fast aperture of 1.9 is designed for a triple zoom without loss of quality.

Such a bunch interacts with each other thanks to the special Triple Shot mode. There is a hybrid autofocus, LED flash and support for AI-system. This camera is capable of recording 4K movies at 60 frames per second. Pleasantly surprised by the Cine Shot function, which makes part of the photo moving. Moreover, there is also a dual front camera with 8 megapixel and 5 megapixel modules.

Sound

The partnership between LG and Meridian allowed the installation of a 32-bit digital Hi-Fi Quad amplifier in the V40 ThinQ. The technology provides balanced sound for your favorite tracks. The sound itself is very loud. This applies not only to headphones, but also to speakers. The original sound recordings sound especially high quality.

Price

The cost of the V40 ThinQ starts at $ 900, which is a pretty high price even for the flagship mobile device with five lenses. This phone has many competitors who, if not better in terms of capabilities or hardware, then certainly win in price.

Conclusion

This is not to say that the V40 ThinQ has failed, but this smartphone clearly lacks important details, from which the whole picture is drawn. The manufacturer did not have time to transfer the device to Android 9.0, and also placed a controversial telescopic lens. And the price tag still “bites”. At the same time, this model also has undeniable advantages in the face of a wonderful screen, an excellent main photomodule and a powerful chipset. Do not forget advanced ergonomics and sleek appearance.
