Sliver Of Silver

The LG V30+ distinguishes itself by standing out quietly rather than shouting out aloud. For the photographer, there are benefits and quibbles. K Madhavan Pillai reports.

Easily LG’s best looking phone yet, the sleek V30+ manages to integrate elegance with functionality in form and material (6-inch near-bezelless QHD+ OLED screen with curved edges, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protecting the screen and back, and seamless curved metal sides) into a design that some may even call understated. Under the hood, it packs 4GB RAM supporting a Snapdragon 835 processor, and 128GB of internal storage. Running on a 3300mAh battery, it gives you a day of work and play for someone who lives on the phone. Apart from a somewhat daunting level of options to customise it (some irritation arising from the stuff you can’t customise), the phone is snappy and nicely responsive.
