LG V40 ThinQ (Blue, 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

I used to buy only Sony phones. Since, Sony has left the Indian market, i went for the LG V40. It is an absolute quality product, no hardware exploitation, no rubbish.Design is a bit outdated, but for me it barely matters, cause it's all about the experience that we get from the hardware and software. Design is just a cosmetic element.Nowadays it's all about Pubg. So let me tell everyone, games like Pubg will run same on Sd845 and Sd855. There is no app that won't run smoothly on Sd845. But on some chinese phones you may feel laggy after 2/3 games because of the heating problems that occur due to overclocked CPU. You may also feel the lag because of the display quality, network, etc. The display is great, one of the best.In an AC room it never gets heated up( only a bit of heat, that's not a problem). Games run smoothly, only network issues can hamper the game.Battery is good. Optimisation is good. It all depends on optimisation. Even a 4000+ mAH battery will drain quickly when optimisation is bad(chinese phones have this disadvantage). Picture quality is great, not as Sony phones, they are at a different level.Camera is good.Let me talk about benchmark.Many people buy phones by checking out the benchmarks. See, these phones have CPU at normal clock rate, 6 gb ram(max) and by stock it has Android Oreo.When you overclock the CPU(like many Chinese phones), say a 0.2Ghz increase in speed, upgrade your software(pie), you will see a 80k to100k bump in the benchmark. Though it is really not required to do that, since no applications need so high hardware requirements. If you do that, you ll see a short term increase in performance, battery will drain quickly, phone will heat up like Chinese phones. So the benchmark will now be great but you ll lose the performance like the Chinese phones.Never buy phones by using benchmark as a reference.And these high quality phones can smoothly for a long time unlike the cheap phones available in the market, that needs to be updated(buying a new phone) every year. Never trust Youtube reviews, many are paid, biased and lack facts like this. My friend bought a cheap Chinese phone on the basis of Youtube review and now he is regrets. He is a Pubg pro and loves to play on my phone. He says that he has never seen any phone running Pubg so smoothly(except Iphone). And yes, no app can run above 60fps, so don't get carried away with the 90hz display myth.I have not mentioned about the camera and all cause most reviews have already mentioned about that. I want to focus on what others have not mentioned. And yes, audio and video quality are the best, i have ever seen on a smartphone.I hope this review will be helpful.Cheers!

Software tweaking is required for better standby time

Update on 07 Feb 2019 :: I had the battery drain really fast in the first couple of days. And since I turned off 'Auto Sync' (swipe down the top menu to see the option), the battery life's increased much more.I just received the handset in the morning today. After using a Moto G5S Plus, am still taking a little bit of time to get familiarize with the UI. So far, what I really loved is, how beautiful built is this phone, yet light! The Quad HD display is kick ass and one should download som e4K videos to see it's clarity. The handset is manufactured in Korea - thumbs up again and I wanted to move away from the Chinese brands. The back is slippery & smudges easily, so please ensure you have a cover for this. Have taken some pics and it looks good - have attached it here. The package is nice and the headphone feels premium built and on audio quality. They could have done a better capacity battery is my thought - will update this in due time. Overall, it feels a well priced mobile - 37K for me after the exchange and pre-order booking. It took almost 15 days for delivery. The three modes of the cam is also displayed in the attached pics.+ Screen+ Design+ Light weight & balanced+ Fast & fluid+ Awesome sound clarity & headphone+ Fast charge - typically 1% per minute (100 mins to full charge from 0)- Low battery capacity- UI (after using stock Android)- Camera quality can be better. Noticed some issues with selfies clicked- Light heating issues- Slippery backside, use a cover- Slow Android updates- Almost impossible to get accessories in brick & mortar shops
