LG

As expected, LG is pretty much confirming almost every leak about the LG V30 a mere two weeks before its announcement. After revealing details about its OLED FullVision display and its f/1.6 Crystal Clear Glass camera, LG is now spilling the beans on the software that will run on the V30. Just as it called the custom skin on the LG G6 the “UX 5.0+”, it is now christening the LG V30’s version as “UX 6.0+”. And like leaked before, it replaces the V series’ former Second Screen with a Floating Bar. But perhaps more curious is the revelation of a face unlock feature that will always work without having to press a button.

We're nearing the launch of the LG V30, and a new report indicates we'll see both the regular version and a Plus variant of this phone launch at the same time. According to this report, the company will launch both phones at the same time and then release them on September 15, at least in the South Korean market, pitting them against Samsung's similar and highly successful Galaxy S8 handsets. We know this phone will boast an aperture never before seen in smartphones, but the sum total of its features is still up for speculation.

The anticipated LG V30 won't be making its official debut until later on this month, but ahead of that comes a slew of information, some of it from LG itself, others from unnamed sources. It's easy to lose track of all the tipped features if you haven't been paying attention, and so here to help is this primer on everything who know -- both officially and unofficially -- about this smartphone.

Ever since the LG V10 and perhaps even before that, LG has always prided itself for offering multimedia creators some of the best tools they can fit in their pockets. And while it’s arguable that LG has been able to deliver on those promises to a certain degree, it has easily been overshadowed by Samsung, Google, and now even HTC. For the LG V30, however, it is pulling all the stops by giving it a camera with the largest aperture and the clearest glass lens available in the smartphone market to date.

A pair of photos leaked today show the Google Pixel 2 in all its mega-sized glory. This device is part of some manner of testing program, as evidenced by the collection of stickers on its back and tiny indicators up front - but otherwise seems to be in standard running order. This device is likely nearing its last testing steps before being released to the public VIA a Google event coming up quick.

The most definitive look at the LG V30 seen thus far comes from a series of videos posted this week to HitRecord. This is a collaborative video site promoted by celebrity Joeseph Gordon Levitt - though that might have little to do with the phone itself. The devices we see today are pretty much leaking the entirety of the phone itself - or at least its looks, both front and back.

If the Galaxy S8 and, soon, the Galaxy Note 8 love to flaunt their curves, the LG G6 and the upcoming LG V30 might be more remembered for their mostly straight lines. That seems to be impression you might get from this latest non-rendered peek at LG’s next flagship, which shows barely any curves save for on its four corners. It also doesn’t show the once distinguishable second screen, reinforcing the expectation that there will be none in the next V phone.

Google Pixel's 2nd generation smartphone images leaked today with a set of specific hardware details. This device will be one of two Pixel smartphones released this year, one Pixel 2, and one Pixel XL 2 - though the names themselves have not yet been shared officially, these are the most likely candidates. Now what we're going to do is compare specs and size up the differences between these devices based on the information we have so far.

When the LG V30 is revealed later this month (hopefully), the expectation is that it will offer a secondary display, just like it's predecessor, the LG V20. We're learning today that this may not actually be the case, as LG may have decided to drop the secondary display altogether. If that's disappointing, you should know that there's a pretty good reason for its absence.

LG has a rather amusing practice of making leaks practically useless in the long run. Given enough time, LG itself will spill the beans of its newest smartphone flagship in the weeks leading to its launch. This is again the case with the LG V30, which is expected to be unveiled by the end of the month. LG has come out with a post boasting of the smartphone’s screen, which is LG’s first ever OLED display for mobile.

Earlier in the month, LG announced the Q6, a new phone that attempts to offer high-end specifications at a mid-range price. Obviously, it isn't as easy as that, but there are definitely a few features that will make the Q6 stand out in a sea of mid-range devices. Even though it was only announced for a Korea release at the time, LG today revealed that the phone will be coming to more regions around the world next month.

If there were still doubts that Apple would be embracing OLED over LCD moving forward, this new bit of information might dispel that. According to Korean media, Apple and LG Display, LG’s panel-making business, have just reached an agreement into how much OLED displays the latter will supply Apple, most likely for iPhones, next year. This spells some trouble for Samsung, as it now has to compete more fiercely with its rival for a larger share of a contract that will, eventually, benefit its other big rival.
