This pretty much looks like the perfect phone, and how are they getting such good pics in low light with the sensor they are using! shows how much the low aperture and OIS can do!
Only thing i could moan about is lack of LED notification but with the active oled screen i'm guessing that's not an issue!

I'm in such a pickle. The Note 8 would be the natural progression from my Note 4 but I'm tempted to vote with my wallet. The last two Samsung phones I've owned have been equally brilliant and terrible but I will miss the S-Pen (a friend recently switched from the Note 4 to the S8 and said the same). The V30 is definitely a consideration but so is the Mi Mix 2 and Mate 10 Pro. Good time for a new phone at least.
Yeah I believe they are using quite a small sensor relative to the competition. The few camera reviews I've seen show it as a decent performer, however I think the Note 8 camera is on another level. Though I'd rather have a super wide angle second cam over a telephoto.
Plus the selfie camera is quite average, not super important to me but a shame nonetheless.

Really like LG but resale is poor compared to other branded phones.
If your keeping it indefinitely then that’s fine but those who want to play and move on it will be costly.

Seems to be some concerns around backlight bleed on the screen, hopefully this is just with the demo units.

Never really been a fan of LG for anything really but the V30 looks to be a stonker. Should my 6P die, I did have the S8 down as a potential replacement...
Haven't seen any comments about this with a quick google; have you any links?

Review in Arstechnica.

Isn't it best to wait a few months when buying a LG as the price drops like a lead balloon.
Wouldn't be backlight bleed from an oled screen, It is more akin to how the Galaxy S2 screen had banding & different gradients of grey. Not perfectly uniform.

Exact 3 phones I'm having a dilemma over. Coming from a nexus 6p
Had a play with a heavily secured Note 8 yesterday, was hard to get a proper feel for it so strapped down. I thought it made my decision towards a V30 easier but watched a preview of the Note 8 camera vs the V30's. I'm not bothered about the front camera but the Note 8 consistently beat the V30, either the V30 having a much better wide angle mode. Torn.
In the same predicament, it's a bit frustrating xD

When is this out? I can see it being £650-700.

Looks like a gradual rollout starting from today.
North America and Europe will the get the handset in "the days and weeks to come."
